"Liberals" live in the past

Commenting on my post “Abortion funding and blacks“, a visitor by the name of Michelle commented:

Wow… I am amazed at the ignorance of these comments. When you start listing the black on white crimes, think back in history the enumerate amount of crimes that whites have committed against blacks. You people are ridiculous. Your grandparents would go hang a black person at night and then get up and go to church the next morning like nothing had happened. They’re probably burning in hell as I type.

It never seems to occur to such people that they have been fed a distorted version of history all their lives.  For example, it never occurs to them that many of the “victims” of lynchings were rapists whom the official justice system had failed to punish.  It’s easy to blame those who lynched but more of a challenge to put oneself in the shoes of the rape victims or their families.  I would be willing to wager that most, if not all, of those who refer to lynchings as “racist crimes” are the same people who, when asked what they would do if anybody ever harmed their daughters, reveal a willingness to administer justice themselves.  If the perpetrator turned out to be black, would they let him go for fear of appearing “racist”?  But let us assume, for our purpose, that every black who was lynched was innocent.  What kind of numbers are we looking at?
According to Wikipedia:

Nearly 3,500 African Americans were lynched in the United States between 1882 and 1968.

Let us be generous and compare the number of black victims, during those 86 years, with the number of white murder victims of black murder for just 26 recent years.  From The Color of Crime:

The Supplementary Homicide Reports (SHR) include the race of the victim and offender, and make it possible to calculate rates of interracial murder. In 2002, blacks were 16 times more likely to murder W&H than the reverse. SHR statistics from 1976 to 2002 tell us blacks murdered 26,727 W&H during those 26 years, and W&H murdered 10,207 blacks, making the black-on-W&H murder rate 17 times that of the W&H-on-black murder rate.

If we subtract the number of blacks murdered by Hispanics and whites for that period, we find a disparity of 36,934 non-blacks murdered by blacks for those years.  That’s 1,421 per year.  At that rate, it takes less than 2.5 years for blacks to “make up” for the lynchings of those 86 years.  As brutal as some of the lynchings were, the murders perpetrated by blacks are often just as brutal and sometimes even more so.
When slavery was practiced in the United States, it was also practiced  throughout most of Africa and the Middle East.  It was an ancient, and international, institution.  To single out white Americans, while ignoring the multitude of black slave owners (and dealers) in Africa, is a typical anti-white double standard.  One wonders how many of the “African refugees” allowed into the United States and Europe are descended from slave-owners.  One wonders how many of them are descended from both slave-owners and slaves.  I wonder if the commentator above would consider a black American, who has both slave-owning ancestors and slave ancestors, as sharing culpability for slavery or as deserving of reparations.  This is a problem we run into when we look at injustices of the distant past and try to make up for them in the present.
Indeed, if we look at the victims who leftists point to, as they describe “traditionally disadvantaged minorities”, those victims are almost always seen in hoary black and white photographs.  Their descendants could be almost anybody – or they might have no descendants at all.  It would not surprise me if some Stormfronters have black slaves in their distant ancestry.  This would mean that leftists must be sensitive to those Stormfronters and that they must be careful to avoid offending them – so as to avoid being considered a “racist”.
Overall, leftists are past-oriented.  They look to the past for the events that shape their racial ideology.  This is why we hear them speak so frequently of “the legacy of this” or “the legacy of that”.  A “legacy” is something that happened in the past.  They speak of “historically” disadvantaged groups.  “History” refers to the past.  It’s actors are usually dead and gone.
White advocates are present-oriented.  The statistics we cite are reflections of reality as we experience it today, not a hundred years ago.  If we look at photos of white victims – murdered, raped, robbed, discriminated against due to their white race – we notice that the photos are all in color.  White people are the true “people of color”.
In trying to understand racial disparities, we look to science and technology.  We explore genetics, current culture and trends.  We examine the facts as they truly are, not as the MSM depicts it in order to advance their own agenda.  In other words, we avail ourselves of the latest tools to understand racial dynamics.
But the anti-white, leftist, crowd also has a distorted view of the present.  They see statistics, such as black incarceration rates, and view them through the filter of their version of the past.  Thus, it is not even the “present” that they see; instead of seeing higher frequencies of black criminals, they see “the legacy of slavery”.  They are stuck in the past and, like a broken record, they cannot get past it.  If an anti-white leftist considers science or technology at all, in the realm of race, it is only to try to discredit the work of real scientists.  Once they feel the task is done, they wash their hands of science and go back to their “doctrine of legacies”.

The Hmong: Not a "model minority"

A few years ago I read “The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down” by Anne Fadiman.  It is an interesting and complicated story that illustrates the challenges of trying to integrate a primitive people into American society.  The story ends in tragedy and I was left wondering who decided those people should be brought here and why.  I still have no good answers.  The Hmong, though Asians, seem to be as crime-prone as NAM’s.
Today, I had a conversation with a young Hmong.  He told me how, when he visits family in California, he must be careful how he dresses so that other Hmong don’t mistake him for a member of a rival gang.  The Hmong seem to live in fear of each other.  He told me disturbing stories – and I asked him why it is that there is so much crime among his people.  He had no idea.  My mind drifted to the Kurds, another stateless people, and the problems they cause in places like Sweden.  A rough hypothesis worked its way to the surface of my consciousness:  A people that has had little, or no, representation in its home country for many generations is likely to have little respect for the government of its home country.  By extension, it would also lack respect for the laws of that country.  Persecution might even work to make a life of crime more attractive.  Over the course of those generations, a criminal mentality might develop.  In their native country, tradition, harsh justice and segregation of various sub-groups would work to suppress this mentality.  But the moment they leave their traditional lands, and settle in a permissive and mixed nation like the U.S. or Sweden, all those criminal elements are free to express themselves.  Like a soda bottle that has been shaken, they erupt at the first opportunity.
My own people would be an exception (for the most part).  Our strong traditions of discipline and adherence to the law (our own religious law) promoted a more reserved and law-abiding culture.
To help emphasize the extent of Hmong criminality, I’ll quote from Don Stacey at Freedom Writer:

BIRCHWOOD, Wis. A Hmong immigrant from the 24,000-strong “Hmong community” of St. Paul, Minnesota crossed the border into Wisconsin on a hunting trip. Armed with a high-velocity semi-automatic assault-style rifle, Chai Vang, 36, wandered onto private property, ignoring the bright orange “no trespassing” signs and took a position in someone else’s hunting platform.
Locals have complained that the Hmong, a tribe from the jungles of Southeast Asia, have no respect for the concept of private property and hunt wherever they see fit. Apparently this is true. When Vang was confronted by two White people — a man and his son — instead of moving on, he shot them both. Before dying, the father managed to radio for help. Six of his hunting companions converged at the scene on two ATV’s and were immediately fired upon. Those who were not hit fled into the woods but were chased down and shot.
Unfortunately, the eight Whites had only one gun between them. It is not known if they fired even one shot in return.
After killing the five Whites and wounding three, the Hmong immigrant reversed his orange vest to the camouflage side to avoid capture, and attempted to flee the area. However, lost in the woods, he required the assistance of two more Whites to find his way out. Luckily for the two Whites, Vang was out of ammunition. For a complete report see the AP link below.
In February of 2003, the FBI released a law enforcement bulletin warning that throughout the United States, the level of Hmong criminal activity was increasing in severity. Extracts from the FBI bulletin:
The Hmong have become involved in a wide range of crimes, such as homicides, gang rapes, prostitution, home invasions, burglaries, auto thefts, and, most recently, the sale and distribution of illicit drugs.
In the St. Paul/Minneapolis area during the summer of 1999. Within about a 6-week period, at least 22 shootings were reported.
Hmong gangs have considerable mobility. It is not uncommon for gang members to drive from California to North Carolina, stopping en route to visit fellow gang members in other states, such as Minnesota or Wisconsin. Many times, these gangs transport guns to another state and commit crimes in transit. Because of this mobility, law enforcement agencies investigating these gangs must maintain a high level of communication to effectively track gang activity.
Hmong gangs also present a violent threat to people who are not members of gangs. The most frequent and violent crimes against nongang members are rape and prostitution.

I sympathize with ethnic groups that lack sovereignty in their homelands.  As good people, we might care about them and perhaps even render whatever (voluntary) aid we can.  But such aid should take the form of helping them in their homelands.  If, and when, they work out their problems and advance to the point where they no longer pose a danger to those around them, at that point we might consider some sort of limited immigration.  Until then, bringing them here is akin to releasing a pack of brutalized pit bulls into a playground full of children.  Whoever does this is responsible for the resulting carnage.  Here too, the government officials, and interest groups, that brought about the Hmong influx bear responsibility for the resulting death and suffering.
If my hypothesis, or any other culture-based hypothesis, is correct, then it would be interesting to see how long the Hmong remain a crime-prone group.  Will their Asian genetics prevail as their dis-functional culture fades away, leaving them as docile as other Asians?  Or perhaps they will remain a nuisance for centuries.  Maybe their genetics differs from other Asians to the point where they should be considered “honorary NAM’s”.
I look forward to comments that will direct us to articles on this topic.  No doubt others, more enlightened and prestigious than I, have already tackled this topic.

The death of a diversicrat; A reverse obituary

Civilized people are supposed to feel bad about the deaths of others.  But, at the risk of sounding insensitive and callous, I’ll reveal my feeling that the deaths of some people leave the world a better place.  Of course, I’d much rather those people change their evil ways than die.  Furthermore, their deaths bring suffering to their family members who, presumably, did no wrong.
According to The Daily News:

Alex Montoya, who devoted his life to providing education to minority students at Clark and Lower Columbia colleges, has been identified as the man who died Saturday night in an accident near Scappoose, according to the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office.

Alex Montoya, in other words, was a professional bigot who “earned” his living by discriminating against whites.  When the Daily News says that he “provided education to minority students”, a naive person might believe that Montoya earned an honest living – perhaps as a plumber or an electrician – and then donated his hard-earned money to minorities to help them get ahead in life.  Of course, Montoya did not “provide” anything.  The Columbian tells us:

… After serving as director of financial aid and a multicultural advisor at Lower Columbia College, Alex came to Clark as director of financial aid…
… serving on the Washington State Financial Aid Council, the Washington Aid Administrators, and the Washington State Latino Caucus.  Alex also served terms as both president and vice president of the Washington State Multicultural Student Services Director’s Council…

In other words, he was a parasite.  I don’t know why they describe what government bureaucrats do as “service”.  They are cogs in the machinery of oppression and, in this case, the machinery is specifically designed to deny opportunities to white people in favor of non-white people.  And just what is the goal of the “Washington State Latino Caucus”?  They are in favor of the unlimited, uncontrolled invasion of the United States by Latin Americans and they support the use of tax dollars to specifically promote their own ethnic groups through “research”.  It is unclear why tax dollars are needed for this purpose.  After all, we already have skilled researchers who work for free and produce high-quality reports.
What I find particularly galling is that the bulk of Montoya’s salary was extorted from whites as “taxes”, either directly or indirectly.  In the end, he was killed by a drunk driver.  According to Article Base:

According to a paper published by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration in 2002, Hispanics are often disproportionately impacted by drunk driving.  The Hispanic community is united in their opinion that drunk driving is a problem and that something should be done in order to curb its negative effects.  A poll among the Hispanic population in the United states revealed that over 90% believe that drunk driving is a very serious problem that must be addressed.
The statistics also show a need for a focus on the Hispanic population.  Many who come to the US may not be well versed in the traffic safety laws.  Other factors may expose the Hispanic community to a disproportionate level of risk from DUI.  Whatever the reason, below are some of the statistics reported by the NHTSA regarding Drunk Driving and Hispanics:
1. Motor Vehicle crashes are the single leading cause of death for Hispanics between the age of 1 and 44.
2. US-born Hispanics are about three times more likely to drive after drinking than are immigrant Hispanics.
3. Between the years of 1990 and 1194, approximately 12.7% of all alcohol related traffic fatalities were Hispanic persons.
4. Hispanic men have a higher rate of having ever been arrested for DUI than do blacks or whites, and on average Hispanics believed the number of drinks needed to affect driving was higher than what blacks and whites believed.

As is customary, the above article sugarcoats the facts and tries to portray Hispanics as “victims” of some sort of mysterious entity called “drunk driving”.  But the facts speak for themselves.  The organizations Montoya worked for, and probably Montoya himself, wanted the United States to be transformed into “North Mexico”.  It was one of the major Mexican vices that struck him down.
I know in advance that some people are going to comment and tell me that I’m a horrible person for attacking somebody who has died.  To them I give permission to attack me after I die.  They will write that I did not know the man so I should not disrespect him.  I did not know Josef Stalin either – but I still take the liberty of condemning him.  If he was kind to animals or respected his wife, then obviously it is not those traits I would condemn; I condemn him for the evil deeds he is known to have perpetrated.  The same applies here.  If Montoya was a great family man, that is good and well – but it does not absolve him of his crimes.

Pick a cause and then fight for it!

I came across this YouTube video:

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzE-IMaegzQ&w=560&h=349]

That guy is worthy of respect, not just for putting together a thoughtful and entertaining video, but for his willingness to endure physical injury to make a valid point.  Some would say the man is foolish, but folly and bravery go hand in hand.

I once orchestrated my own similar campaign in – you guessed it – Israel.  In Israel, pedestrians do not have rights.  Automobile have little expect pedestrians to move out the way and thus, by default, the car always has the right-of-way.  If they’re “considerate”, they’ll honk their horn.  They do have sidewalks in Israel, but as often as not, they are used as parking spaces.

It bothered me that I would have to leave the relative safety of the sidewalk, and venture into busy streets, in order to reach my destination.  It bothered me a lot more when my children could not even get to school without being forced to walk in the street.  At one point I took matters into my own hands.  I bought some fairly large stickers and wrote on them “the sidewalk is for pedestrians”.  When I came across a car parked on the sidewalk, I would affix one of my stickers to its windshield – directly in the driver’s field of view.  The hot sun would do the rest.  There was one truck driver, who would regularly park right in front of my daughter’s school, who needed a few stickers to finally get the point.  His windshield had a grid in front of it (to protect it from Palestinian rocks) so it must have been a chore for him to remove the stickers.

There was one street, in particular, that was a problem and it was en route to my daughter’s school.  The entire length of the sidewalk was used for parking.  On the other side was a construction site.  In the wee hours of the night, I would go there and collect large pieces of stone and concrete from the construction site and place them at the edge of the sidewalk to block entrance from the street.  In the morning, it would be obvious why they were there.  Once in a while, a driver would remove the stones and park there anyway.  He would return to find the stones on top of his car, still in a straight line.  I did this for a month or two.  Eventually, the city built a metal barrier to save me the trouble.  One small victory for me!

It has been a long time since I’ve visited Israel.  I’d like to think that things have improved.  Perhaps a reader can give us an update.

A time to be offended

Yesterday I experienced scattered samples of MSM poison.  First I happened upon a friend sitting mesmerized in front of his television.  There were two scenes that passed before me.  The first one, that I saw going in, was a news story about gangs and sexual exploitation.  Practically all the teens shown appeared to be white – though no faces were shown.  The implication seemed to be that it is mainly white teens who join gangs.  The second scene, that I saw going out, focused on a teenage girl from somewhere in Africa.  They were praising her scholarly achievements and telling us how she is an honor student and destined for great things.  White students = gangs and sexual exploitation.  Black teens = scholastic excellence.
Later in the day, I happened upon the front page of the Columbian, a local South Washington newspaper.  The featured story was about the Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade.  While the large image on top showed a float with some young, anonymous, white women waving at passersby, the only photo that featured a single individual was of – you guessed it – a little black boy.  In case you were wondering, his name is Lerondre Richards, age 4 from Vancouver.  So what’s the fuss?  The photographer/editor just picked a random, typical visitor from Vancouver, Washington – whose demographics surely must be similar to that of Detroit, Michigan.  Well… not quite.  According to Wikipedia:

The racial makeup of the city was 84.81% White, 2.50% African American, 0.97% Native American, 4.51% Asian, 0.54% Pacific Islander, 2.86% from other races, and 3.80% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 6.29% of the population.

So the Columbian just happened to pick, and name, one of the 2.5% of Vancouver residents who are black.  But it should be obvious that blacks do not attend parades as frequently as whites.  As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Lerondre, and his family, were the only blacks at that parade.  Here’s my theory:  Lerondre’s mom tells her friend she’s going to get her son’s photo on the front page of the Columbian.  Her friend laughs and says, “good luck with that!  Are you going to have him murder somebody?” “No” says the mom.  “I’ve got a better idea.  I’ll bring him to the parade.”  Sure enough, when the Columbian photographer saw Lerondre, his eyes lit up and he grew excited.  “This is my day!” he exclaimed.  Knocking over several old ladies and a blind man, and dropping his iPhone, he dashed to the scene and got his prized photo.  No doubt he was a hero at the office that day.
Turning to the opinion section, I saw a large cartoon that pretty much sums up the MSM attitude toward whites:

Next time the MSM accuses pro-white advocates of being “intolerant”, “hateful” or of “stereotyping”, consider the above cartoon.  Intolerance, hate and stereotypes ooze from it like puss from a festering wound.

Kevorkian croaks

Over the past few days, since the demise of the infamous “Dr. Death”, I have been wondering if he got as much out of his death as he had hoped.  Kevorkian had a morbid fascination with death and though few of us are as obsessed as was the doctor, we all share some of his fascination.  After all, we are all destined to follow him – sooner or later.
The existence of an afterlife might be experienced but the lack of one can never be experienced.  This leaves us, accustomed as we are, to experience only experiences and not their absence, assuming that there is an afterlife.
As for the nature of such an afterlife, by force we cannot imagine it outside the confines of time.  Is time a creation of our own minds?  Animals are born, live and die but we have no idea how they experience time.  We do know that younger people perceive the passage of time more slowly than older people.  Boredom and suffering seem to stretch it out.  If so, can our minds experience “eternity” in a moment under the right circumstances?  If billions of subatomic particles can exist on the head of a pin, who’s to say that an eternity cannot exist in an instant?
As we grow older, most of us come to realize how insignificant we really are.  There is nothing unique or irreplaceable about us.  Hopefully, by the time death comes knocking at our door, we will have internalized this truth and our demise will be of little consequence.  For what it’s worth, the “I” will live on as the particles that formed it” to begin with; when it comes down to it, there really is no static, definable “I” anyway.  This concept, though not new to me, was brought home forcefully through the book “Living to Die” by L.B. Kelly.  Kelly shows, through cold science, how after-death experiences fall short as evidence of a surviving soul.  But then, using Buddhist concepts, she shows the reader that there is really nothing to fear from death after all.  It’s a strangely comforting book.
I found this on a blog called sammyangels:

And then I heard him talk about a form of meditation called “Dying before you die”, practiced by Sufis. And something clicked. It made sense. You come to peace with the fact that your mind and body, and with it this material world, will come to an end. You will die. You will be forgotten. And everything you ever accomplished, everything you ever created will be lost.
With (sic) this means is that you allow your ego to die before your time in this world is actually up. All your fears will disappear. You will no longer take life so seriously. You would come to peace with what is.
It’s not like we have much of a choice in the matter, so we might as well make peace with it.  I wonder if Kevorkian did this.

I don’t pretend to be a philosopher, or to imagine that the above ideas are original.  I’m certain they’ve been written down before – perhaps as examples of folly.  But the death of a man so famously fascinated by death brought back many of my own thoughts about death and though I had misgivings about publishing a post as unoriginal as this one, sometimes I like to just share my thoughts, original or not.

A natural way of life

Sometimes, when I look back at my life as an observant Jew, I realize that some of the battles I fought then I still fight today.  Here is an excerpt from something I wrote in those days.  It is directed at religious Jews, but the message is just as relevant to non-Jewish society and the challenges just as real:

The Torah was given to us, in part, to free us from the burdens of idolatry (which usually demands unnatural and cruel practices in worship, such as human sacrifices, celibacy, cross-bearing, fire-walking, blood-letting, hours-long monotonous chanting etc. – see Guide to the Perplexed 3:30), and to bring us closer to our creator pleasantly – not through torture or demands which conflict with nature.
“Rather the Torah wants us to be natural, walking in the path of moderation.”  Rambam in Eight Chapters (introduction to Abhoth, chapter 4)
God created us to be in harmony with nature and, in this way, to grow nearer to Him.  Contemplating the commandments of the Torah, one will notice that none of them demand abstinence from any pleasure of this world – only temporary prohibitions of food and cohabitation, and that in order to keep our base instincts in balance so that we do not become like animals.
… with certain exceptions, a man may marry whoever he wishes, and however many he wishes to marry… all this only with the consent of the second party.  Human nature has not changed – but European “Judaism” has become exceedingly puritanical, perhaps under the influence of Christianity.  This situation leads to many hardships and crisis in which the victims – mainly adolescents – are blamed, while the real fault lay with insensitive leaders and evil traditions.

What I was tiptoeing around was the fact that humans start feeling sexual desire a lot earlier than is officially recognized.  In the religious Jewish world, it used to be that people would marry about the same time they needed a sexual outlet.  But now marriage happens a lot later.  The onset of sexuality has not changed in order to adapt to this.  The result is several years when the only sexual outlet is masturbation – and Judaism frowns upon this as a sin.  The Kabbalists take it a step further and consider it tantamount to a mortal sin.  This is an absurd situation.
But is the modern gentile world any better?   Let us examine what Western governments/societies do:
1)  Force all children to attend public schools (unless their parents can afford a private one).
2)  Ensure that boys and girls are together most of the time.
3)  Bombard those same children, through television, billboards and movies, with almost non-stop sexually provocative content.
4)  Tell them to abstain from sex or at least use condoms.
5)  Wonder why they don’t listen.
This is an absurd situation.  What children need is an intact culture that teaches them right from wrong.  They need their parents, their mentors and their peers to all be part of that same culture.  They need a society, and media, that reinforces that culture so that they can pass it on to their own children when the time is right.
It cannot be normal for people to marry in their mid-teens unless this practice is supported by societal institutions and family.  In a “multicultural” society, marriage must wait because we cannot assume the same level of commonality that we can expect in a mono-cultural society.  By definition, a “multicultural” society has no fixed set of mores, morals or rules – except that which is imposed by law (and even that becomes dicey after a while).
There have been societies in the past where different cultures and religions occupied roughly the same territory.  But each group had its own schools, neighborhoods, places of worship etc.  They were thus neighbors but also separate.  This is how the Jews survived as a people.  It is not societies such as these that I am speaking about here.
In the Western world today, even where whites are still a clear majority, various other cultures leave their mark.  Whether through television, friends or the internet, almost all of us are exposed to a variety of cultures.  I was exposed to Malagasy culture for a while – yet my own culture is no more “Malagasy” now than it was before.  This is because my exposure was one of educating myself about other people, not of replacing part of my own culture with a foreign one.  Children can  learn about cannibals all day long from television and there is no harm in this – until millions of cannibals are brought to Smalltown, USA and some of them, sitting in the school cafeteria with Johnnie American, say “here.  Try some of this!”  When foreign peoples are brought to our own nations, and our children are forced to learn, play and eat with them, then we have passed from “education” into something much more sinister.  What we have here is dilution of the home culture and its replacement with a myriad of other cultures.  As the boundaries between “us” and “them” become fuzzy, we end up with a lot of uncertainty.  Is it acceptable to have loud parties at 3:00 A.M.?  That depends; it is perfectly acceptable to many Mexicans, but not to white Americans.  Is it alright to mutilate your daughter?  That depends; it is considered a duty among many Africans and Muslims, but a terrible crime for others.  When those Africans object to our laws and say, “why do you persecute us for our culture?  Do you consider your own culture superior?”  How does the multiculturalist answer that?  In the end, the culture of whoever has the most babies will prevail.
But back to marriage.  I contend that the more uncertainty there is, the more marriage must wait.  Finding “the right guy” or “the right gal” becomes more difficult as the variety of cultural norms expands.  The more hay there is in the stack, the more difficult it will be to find the needle.  There will always be individual differences between people, even people of the same culture.  But two Orthodox Jews are unlikely to disagree on whether to allow their 10 year old girl to get her navel pierced.  The answer will be “no”.
There is nothing natural about “multiculturalism”.  It leads to confusion.  For its youngest victims, this confusion includes either sexual frustration or irresponsible sex and it probably leads to mental health issues as well.

How do you pronounce "Qaddafi"?

This post is an urgent one.  I cannot set it on the back burner for long.  Right now, people are talking about Qaddafi and his name is frequently in the news.  But this will change once he is killed.  So I do hope he stays alive long enough for me to publish this post.  After that he can die and I don’t care.
Many have agonized over how to spell the S.O.B.’s name.  Cecil, of the straight dope, writes:

Lord knows I hate to be critical, but the proliferation of spellings for the name of Libya’s head dude has been one of the continuing scandals of American journalism. I mean, come on, we’re trying to plumb this guy’s psychic depths and we can’t even get his name straight? Sometimes I shudder for the future of my country.
I count at least 12 different ways to spell the colonel’s handle, including Qaddhafi (New York Review of Books), Qaddafi (New Republic), Gaddafi(Time), Kaddafi (Newsweek), Khadafy (Maclean’s), Qadhafi (U.S. News & World Report), Qadaffi (Business Week), and Gadaffi (World Press Review).Libya’s UN mission, in an effort to spread further confusion, spells the name Qathafi, and I know I’ve seen Gadaafi somewhere. To make matters worse, the Library of Congress and the Middle East Studies Association, to whom one would ordinarily look for guidance, have a fondness for Qadhdhafi, which is an abomination unto God. I think you now begin to grasp the dimensions of the problem…

He goes on to say the the colonel himself spelled it, in English, as Gadhafi.  But what about pronunciation?  The initial letter of his name, called Qaf, is often colloquially pronounced like the English hard g, hence the colonel’s spelling.  But the original classical/formal Arabic pronunciation is a sound the sounds somewhere between a hard g and a k but a bit more emphatic – in other words, you let the air out all at once.  With the hard g, there is a nasal element because, as you take your time allowing the air to flow out your mouth, some of it goes toward your nose (This is my take on it anyway).  With the k, all of the air goes out the mouth, so the nasal element is absent.  With the Qaf, the contact between both sides of the throat is a bit deeper and the separation more abrupt.  That’s about as well as I can describe it.  Here is a YouTube video that illustrates it quite well; you can skip to position 1:50.  Note:  There are regional variations (even within what is considered the Classical pronunciation) of this letter; some say it more sharply while others say it more bluntly
The next letter, Arabic having no consonant letters (we’ll get to the vowels later), is dh or dhal.  It is pronounced like the th in “there“.  However, in this particular case, this letter is doubled as if you were saying “loath_there” in quick succession.
There is no confusion about the final “fi” (fee).
The vowel after the initial Qaf is somewhat in between the a of American English “cat” and the British version of it.  It is said quickly here and you should not linger on this vowel – but let it lead to the following double dh immediately.
The last vowel, the one between the double dh and “fi“, is elongated.  You open your mouth more and let it live out its entire life before fading into the final “fi“.
In conclusion, the “ungodly” Qadhdhafi is, indeed, the best phonetic rendition of this name – if we are going by Classical/Formal Arabic.  And there you have it.  A nice tidbit of useless information from jewamongyou.  Useless, that is, unless you wish to impress people at parties with your worldly knowledge.  If they end up shunning you as an eccentric, you can blame it on me.

Black women: "My dark skin is not beautiful – and it's WHITEY'S fault"

Thanks to humanstupidity for sending me the link to this video:
Here is my comment:

Is there any evidence it all started with slavery? All over the world light skin is preferred over dark skin, whether there is a history of slavery or not. It’s that way in Africa and India too, and in the Arab world. Not only that, but this has been the case at least since Biblical times. So no, it is not “the white man’s fault”.
Also, why the emphasis on females? Isn’t it true that black women, even the lighter ones, have a preference for dark-skinned men?
If this is a problem, why not go after the media – that insists on portraying black men with white women so frequently? We should insist that they show white men with black women more often – but I don’t see this happening any time soon.

It should also be noted, though it is not nice to say it, that most of the women in that video would be ugly regardless of their skin color.  The more I think about it, the more the movie looks like a (pardon the expression) bitch session for ugly women.  I also wonder if they have figured out that choosing dark-skinned men for their “baby-daddies” causes their daughters to be dark-skinned.  Perhaps genetics is not their forte’.
What is the link between dark skin and ugliness?  In my view, a woman can be both very dark and very beautiful; I don’t see a contradiction.  But most of the world disagrees with me.  Most of the world has disagreed with me for a very long time.  Therefore handsome, high-status, males would generally marry light-skinned women.  We certainly see that trend today, whether it’s sports stars or royalty.  There is also the rough correlation between higher I.Q.’s and lighter skin color.  Higher I.Q.’s mean a better shot at higher social status.  Higher status means more options in women.  More options means the higher I.Q. men will pick lighter skinned women.  The cycle reinforces itself.  Over generations, the result would be that good-looking people would tend to be lighter-skinned and have higher I.Q.’s.
Ironically, the above dynamic might work more efficiently in a mixed-up, multiracial, world.  Such a society would end up being highly polarized based on I.Q. as described in The Bell Curve.  Except that light skin and good looks would also be concentrated at the right of the curve.  Those women in the video are essentially complaining that they were born too far on the left of the bell curve when it comes to looks.  Their descendants are likely to be on the left of the bell curve when it comes to I.Q. as well.
