New York City Small Business Services: Whites Need Not Apply

In a recently published PDF, the government of New York spells out the myriad ways it’s excluding whites from its programs. The smiling mugs of the deputy mayor, and the city commissioner, both black, are shown just under that of the mayor, and they make it abundantly clear that “equity” is just another word for “white-exclusion.”

The deputy mayor, J. Phillip Thompson, writes:

Through the Department of Small Business Services, the City has continued to provide resources, including access to financing, business education, pro bono consulting services, and mentorship, to businesses in low- and moderate-income communities and to businesses owned by minorities, women, and immigrants…

The commissioner, Jonnel C. Doris, writes:

To promote equitable economic growth, we expanded programming through our Black Entrepreneurs NYC (BE NYC) initiative, we launched the City’s first Asian American Small Business Taskforce to support Chinatown and Asian owned businesses across the City, and we worked with the Latin American Consulates through the #LatinxNYCSiPodemos coalition to provide business workshops in Spanish, reaching more than 40,000 business owners and leaders. And our Women Entrepreneurs NYC (WE NYC) initiative achieved a critical milestone serving more than 17,000 women

The document goes on to elaborate on the many ways it uses taxpayer dollars to exclude whites:

Under “Pillars of the Small Business Recovery Plan,” the very first pillar is:

promoting equitable economic growth and supporting diverse businesses of the future

“Diverse” as in “non-white.” This becomes increasingly clear, as the document boasts about its various expenditures – and leading the list, by far, is: $1.2 BILLION in COVID-19 contracts awarded to M/WBEs (Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise). Taking second place is “funding opportunities for 10,000 small businesses at $623 million. Many of those small business are also minority owned. Perhaps even most of them.

Without a hint of shame, and highlighted in blue and bold print, the document boasts:

Since March 2020, SBS has delivered 337,000+ services for diverse New Yorkers:

92% of individuals receiving career assistance identify as non-white

53% of individuals receiving career assistance identify as Black or African-American

91% of business owners awarded a grant to reduce their debt burden are non-white

76% of businesses receiving a storefront loan via SBS are minority-owned.

Note that “Black” is capitalized, while “white” is not.

Under the heading “Promoting equitable economic growth and supporting diverse businesses of the future, we find the following:

• Blueprint for Black Entrepreneurs NYC (BE NYC)
• BE NYC Startup Intensive
• BE NYC: Access Consulting
• Partnership with Mastercard to support and
highlight Black women-owned businesses
• BE NYC Mentors
• Streamlined path to M/WBE and EBE certification for
LGBT-owned businesses in partnership with the NGLCC
• Employee Ownership hotline
• WE NYC Impact Report
• M/WBE Mentors
• Small Business Mentors NYC

The City of New York is promoting non-white suppliers of personal protective equipment (PPE) as well:

Launched online NYC PPE + Reopening SuppliesMarketplace, where 33% of suppliers are M/WBEs

Under the heading “Promoting equitable economic growth and supporting diverse businesses of the future” we read:

Issued a blueprint for Black Entrepreneurs NYC (BE NYC)
In August 2020, we issued Advancing Black Entrepreneurship in NYC – a blueprint for advancing Black entrepreneurship in all five boroughs. Informed by more than 1,500 current and aspiring Black entrepreneurs, business leaders, community leaders and advocates, the report highlighted the challenges Black entrepreneurs face when starting and growing their businesses and offers recommendations in four key areas:


• Provide equitable access to financing
• Strengthen connections within NYC’s Black entrepreneurial community
• Scale Black businesses for long-term success
• Meet the challenges of the economy of tomorrow


We also announced commitments by our inaugural partners to invest with us in solutions in these areas, including: Mastercard, EY, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. nyc.gov/benyc

The next two pages are entirely dedicated to the promotion of black businesses, and I won’t quote all of it here; this post would be too long.

An ubiquitous term in this document is “New Normal,” as if this focus on non-white businesses is something new. Something revolutionary that we’ve never seen before. In reality, this is business as usual; I’ve been writing about it for a decade, as have many others. It’s been going on for longer than many of my readers have been alive.

This PDF is rich in graphics, and I counted about 158 individuals featured, including those in group shots that were recognizable, and not counting incidental people in the background. Of those 158 people, only 7 are clearly white. Most are black.

For reference, New York City is 43% white, 24% black, and about 30% Asian or other. White New Yorkers are 43% of the city in real life – but only just over 4% in this government publication.

What does this mean, and how are we to interpret all this? As far as I’m concerned, it means that the government of New York City has nothing but disdain for its white population, and that if it had the ability to do so, it would reduce the white population of the city by 90%.

Currently, the government lacks such power, but it DOES have the power to funnel billions of tax dollars, generated mostly by its white citizens, into the hands of black organizations. Since whites still comprise 43% of the city, and they continue to vote in the same politicians, we can only conclude that they don’t have a problem with this scenario. The whites of New York City are content being treated like livestock, milked for their tax dollars, but otherwise of no value – except as punching bags for the occasional knock-out game.

Honor the Duwamish Tribe: Honor the White Tribe

When it comes to indigenous rights, it’s easy to get bipartisan support. People of all political stripes like to support beleaguered tribes, as long as such support doesn’t come at too high a price.

A Change.org petition calls on the Federal Government to recognize the Duwamish tribe, which is native to the Seattle area. The city is, in fact, named after a (half) Duwamish chief, Chief Si’ahl, or Seattle. I won’t be upset with you if you sign that petition.

If you’re interested, here’s a more comprehensive history of the Duwamish, Erik Painter’s answer specifically.

The Duwamish tribe’s official website is sparse on photos of actual Duwamish tribal members, but the two who are depicted appear white.

Here’s a tribal gathering, courtesy of Call of Compassion.

Picture

If you look closely, there’s one guy who looks a little tanned. Other than that, the gathering is as white as the Forbes Real Estate Council. It’s as white as Elizabeth Warren.

It doesn’t appear that there are any pure-blooded Duwamish Indians remaining; taking a wild guess, I’d say that the average Duwamish is one quarter to one eighth Indian, with some older members being one half. Feel free to correct me if you know otherwise.

Far be it from me to blame the actual Duwamish people for this situation; they were subject to various forms of persecution and genocide. I have the utmost respect for actual American Indians who fight to preserve their culture and genetic legacy. Unfortunately, it appears that it’s too late for the Duwamish, at least when it comes to their genetic legacy.

Basically, what we have is a bunch of white people clamoring for recognition as a “tribe.” I think this is great! I’ve never been a huge believer in racial purity anyway, and if a drop of Indian blood is what it takes to allow whites to organize as a recognized tribe/ethnicity, then so be it. The fact that they get together to dress in Indian garb, perform Indian dances and music, and create Indian art doesn’t bother me; it’s harmless, and no different than white people getting together to enjoy sushi or yoga.

In today’s political climate, white people are practically prohibited from gathering as white people. While there’s no law against it (yet), you’ll lose your job, your safety and any political aspirations you might have had, if you’re identified as a proud white person. Identifying as “Indian” might serve as a loophole for some of us.

Choose Your Poison

I just received a notification from Change.org of a new petition. Here’s the first paragraph of the email:

Phoebe Gooding is a BIPOC female farmer in North Carolina. She was recently nominated to the Durham County Soil and Water Conservation District Board of Supervisors. What happened next has not happened in 40 years. The state commission superseded her nomination and appointed Mr. Ken Browning, an older, white, male farmer. Join Phoebe in demanding the commission approve her position on the board so she may serve the people of Durham County with equity and justice.

From the email, it appears that Phoebe’s primary qualifications for the job are that she’s a) female and b) not a white person – and the state commission had the audacity to appoint a (gasp!) old WHITE MAN for the position instead.

The email continues with an appeal from Phoebe herself:

Members of the board enthusiastically voted for me because of my background in conservation and environmental justice, my board experience, and because of the perspective and insights I can offer firsthand as a BIPOC female small farmer.

It seems she considers the fact that she’s female and not a white person to be important qualifications as well. She goes on:

After receiving the nomination, I spoke with a colleague of mine with deep experience in Durham food systems. He congratulated me and said that, historically, conservation funding and resources have mostly been transferred to white, wealthy landowners in the county. My appointment to the board comes with voting power to ensure that resources are more equitably distributed among county residents including those who have historically faced higher barriers to accessing land and opportunities.  

In other words, her intention is to make sure that her fellow not-white-people get more of the gibs. As to WHY resources have, in the past, been mostly transferred to white, wealthy landowners in the county, we’re not told. I’ll venture a guess: Most of the farmers in that area are white and wealthy. As farmers, they’re also landowners. Yes, that would explain it.

Miss Gooding claims that she meets “8 of the 11 principles outlined in the Guiding Principles for Nomination of Supervisor for Appointment or Reappointment document provided by the NCSWC.” It’s not clear which of the principles she meets, but the very first principle is:

Because agriculture is North Carolina’s number one industry and because of the importance of soil and water  conservation to production agriculture, the Commission strongly recommends that at least two members of each  district board be actively engaged in, or recently retired from, an agriculture operation. Examples of an “agriculture  operation” include those operations that are eligible to participate in the Agricultural Cost Share Program, or fall  within the definition of “Agriculture,” as provided in N.C.G.S. § 106-581.1. If the board does not already have two or more members that meet this criterion, will this appointment satisfy this Commission recommendation? 

In an article from WRAL, we learn a bit more:

In a statement to WRAL Investigates, John Langdon, chairman of the state commission, said race and gender played no factor in filling the position on the Durham County board.

“My concern was the individual’s employment as Program and Organizing Director with Toxic Free NC, which I view as an organization that is in opposition to production agriculture,” Langdon said in the statement.

Indeed, Toxic Free NC’s website states that:

We advocate for corporate and legislative policies that advance a precautionary approach to chemical regulation to protect community health and biodiversity from pollution. Our policy strategy builds community power to advance environmental justice and hold polluters accountable.

Full disclosure: I don’t live in North Carolina, I’m not a farmer, nor to I have expertise in the matter at hand – but what this looks like, to me, is that some local farmers see Miss Gooding, and her organization, as a threat to their livelihood. They probably depend heavily on pesticides, and they might even be polluters.

It looks like Miss Gooding, and her supporters, are more concerned about race and gender than protecting the environment (at least in the petition), and it seems possible that the state commission is more concerned about profit than protecting the environment.

I’m all for protecting the environment, and reducing the amount of pesticides that is released into the soil and water – and especially into our bodies. But Miss Gooding has sabotaged any sympathy I might have for her by focusing on her gender and race. Instead of focusing on the actual issues, she (and her supporters) have chosen to fling charges of racism at their opponents.

Two Major Real Estate Search Engines Nix Crime Data in Racial Equity Push

From the Washington Examiner:

Realtor.com has removed crime data from its website, and Redfin has decided not to add it out of concerns that it could perpetuate racial inequity.

David Doctorow, the CEO of Realtor.com, said in a company update this week that the crime map layer has been removed from all search results on the website “to rethink the safety information we share on Realtor.com and how we can best integrate it as part of a consumer’s home search experience.”

Doctorow said the removal was part of a company effort to “level the playing field” and scrutinize what safety means to buyers and renters so that it can “reimagine how we integrate safety data” on the platform. Realtor.com has been collaborating with fair housing advocates as part of the initiative…

“As a relative newcomer to the real estate industry, I’ve been struck by how entrenched this problem is,” he continued. “Stories abound about Black, Hispanic and Asian homebuyers receiving unequal treatment, starting with their ability to see whatever homes they like, and continuing through to the appraisal and mortgage processes.”…

Redfin highlighted the difference between crime and safety and said that through its research, which included surveys, people defined safety in a variety of ways. Taubman said that the available data, namely the Uniform Crime Report from the FBI, pertains to reported crimes and excludes information about crimes that go unreported and crimes that go unsolved. He said that data at a neighborhood level could lead to high inaccuracy.

“The fact that most crimes are missing creates a real possibility that the crimes that show up in the data set skew one way or another,” Taubman wrote. “And the fact that most reported crimes go unsolved means that some of the crimes being reported in fact may not be crimes.”

In addition to the FBI’s metrics, Redfin also considered the National Crime Victimization Survey, which relies on interviews from tens of thousands of people annually and queries them about the frequency, characteristics, and consequences of criminal victimization across the country. Those who say they are victims of crime are also asked whether the crime was reported to law enforcement…

“And there are troubling signs of this: in the 2019 survey, people reporting crimes were more likely to describe their offender as young, male, and Black than would be expected given the representation of those groups in the population,” he said.

There are several glaring flaws in these decisions and their explanations.

Firstly, corporate jargon such as reimagine how we integrate safety data is not helpful, and it gives the distinct impression that the goal is not to inform, but to confuse and obfuscate – that the real intention is less wholesome than the author is letting on.

Also, the article fails to explain how withholding crime data would help non-white home-buyers see more homes and buy them – unless the goal is to deceive them into buying homes in high-crime areas. Since when is less information empowering?

The argument that FBI crime statistics are inaccurate, because they don’t include unsolved or unreported crime is ridiculous. It’s specifically black areas that have the lowest reporting and clearance rates, and this is well-known. Blacks have much lower levels of trust in the police, and yet this article implies that those same blacks report crime at a higher rate than whites; it’s arguing that there is actually MORE crime among whites, but that those crimes go unreported, in contrast to crime among blacks, where crime is reported more often. Exactly the OPPOSITE is true. Crime rates are higher in black communities than the statistics would suggest.

The last quoted statement takes the cake for absurdity. These companies are concerned about racial bias – because crime victims are more likely to describe their offender as young, male and black. Do they honestly believe that crime victims are in the habit of lying about the description of criminals? Sure, it happens on occasion, when it’s an imaginary crime – but certainly not to the extent that it would impact statistics.

Let’s take a look at Mr. David Doctorow, CEO of Realtor.com. His Twitter profile tells us that he lives in Santa Clara, California. From Wikipedia, we can see the following:

The ethnic makeup of Santa Clara was 52,359 (45.0%) White, 3,154 (2.7%) African American, 579 (0.5%) Native American, 43,889 (37.7%) Asian

Hmm… Mr. Doctorow lives in a city that’s only 2.7% black. How convenient for him, and I’m sure the crime-rate in his area is quite low…

But wait, there’s more. It turns out that Mr. Doctorow is a member of the Forbes Real Estate Council:

Photos of featured members.

Hmmm… If we count hot blondes as “Diversity” then they’ve met their quota. Otherwise, it’s “Diversity for thee but not for me.” Doctorow is in the upper right corner.

I’m pretty sure that David Doctorow is Jewish, and it doesn’t take a skilled sleuth to figure this out. So on top of putting homeowners in danger, by withholding vital information from them, Mr. Doctorow is also contributing to anti-Semitism. Stormfronters will be on this like flies on a warm cow pie.

As for Redfin’s Chief Growth Officer, Christian Taubman (who appears to be responsible for Redfin’s withholding of crime data), I pretty sure that he’s not Jewish.

It’s great to see Jews and non-Jews working together to make the world a more dangerous place.

Fedex’s Diversity Policy in Action

A while back, it was discovered that hundreds of Fedex packages had been dumped in a ravine in Alabama. Now we have a suspect. From Wave3:

Man arrested after dumping FedEx packages in ravine in Blount Co.

Authorities in Blount County say a man from Adamsville is facing charges for dumping packages into a ravine.

Blount County Sheriff Mark Moon said 22-year-old Deandre Charleston has been named as the suspect in the case. Sheriff Moon said he worked for a company that is contracted by FedEx, and has been terminated, but is now working for another delivery service. He is expected to be arrested after his route on Friday.

Sheriff Moon said Charleston dumped packages into a ravine in the 700 block of River Oak Trail on five separate occasions. Property owners actually found the packages as they were showing the home to potential buyers.

Moon said 153 packages worth more than $15,000 were able to be recovered. 247 packages worth more than $24,000 were unrecognizable, or unable to be delivered.

Deandre Charleston, 22.

This is not the sort of crime that necessarily screams, “A BLACK man did it!” Lazy, unprincipled people exist in all demographics. However, when Diversity becomes a “value,” then it must come at the expense of other values – values such as hiring the right people for the job, people with good work ethics, of strong moral character and who are responsible.

Fedex is keen on using only Diverse subcontractors. On its “Supplier Diversity” page, Fedex boasts…

$2.6 billion spent with women-owned and minority-owned companies in FY20.

Fedex partners with several POC advocacy organizations, including “National Minority Supplier Development Council,” “TriState Minority Supplier Development Council,” and “Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC).” In order to be a Fedex subcontractor, one must fill out an application, which asks whether your company is “minority-owned.” This is a priority for Fedex.

Without such policies and priorities, race would probably never come into the equation. As stated, undesirables come from all backgrounds – but since Fedex places so much emphasis on hiring non-whites, it’s fair to ask: Might all those customers have received their packages intact, and on time, if Fedex had simply hired the best people for the job?

Sam Dickson’s Amren 2021 Speech

Correction: Earlier I referred to Mr. Dickson’s definition of “white people,” but it turns out he didn’t include the definition in this speech; it was during a debate – which probably won’t be published.

Newsweek Won’t Mention the Elephant in the Room

By now, most of y’all have read about Jussie Smollett’s guilty verdict. A Newsweek article reminds us that when the case first broke, the Cook County State Attorney, Kim Foxx, chose to drop all charges:

Jussie Smollett Verdict a Disaster for Kim Foxx, Prosecutor Who Let Him off the Hook

Nearly three years after dropping all charges against Empire actor Jussie Smollett, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx faced heavy criticism Thursday after Smollett was found guilty of staging a racist and homophobic attack…

Despite looming evidence against him, however, Foxx and the state attorney’s office decided to drop all charges against him in exchange for Smollett performing community service…

Commentator Dinesh D’Souza called Foxx “complicit in the attempt to cover up Jussie’s hate crime, even if they weren’t charged and found guilty for it.”

D’Souza also expressed anger that Foxx had reportedly been coerced into dropping Smollett’s original charges by former first lady Michelle Obama. Both Foxx, as well as Smollett, have been claimed to have relationships with the Obamas.

We all know that Mr. Smollett is black, that Kim Foxx is black, and that Michelle Obama is black. We’re told, and it’s evident, that there was a coverup…

… but we’re left to our own devices to connect the dots, and reach the obvious conclusion: It was black racial solidarity that motivated the Obamas, and Foxx, to orchestrate the coverup in the first place. If it were white people acting this way, charges of “white-supremacy” and “white-privilege” would be all over the news.

Yes folks, this is what we mean by “black-privilege.”

Housing Discrimination and Homicide Rates

Here’s a screen capture from today’s Microsoft news feed:

To an educated person, the link between these two stories is obvious: Blacks are responsible for most homicides in the US, landlords are (at some level) aware of this and act accordingly. Hispanics also have higher crime rates, but not as high as blacks. From the Salon article:

Using a software bot, the economists sent inquiries from fake renters to 8,476 property managers in the 50 largest US metropolitan housing markets. The bot assigned names to fictitious renters that would indicate whether the race of the inquirer was white, Black, or Hispanic.

The bot found that names perceived to be white got a response 5.6 percentage points more than Black-sounding names, and 2.8 percentage points more than Hispanic-sounding names.

If the landlords were interrogated, we can rest assured that they wouldn’t say, “The reason we’re less keen on renting to blacks than Hispanics is that their skin is darker.” No, instead, they’d say, “Blacks are more dangerous than Hispanics” or something to that effect.

The article goes on to say:

The researchers find that for Black would-be renters, the most discriminatory region is the Midwest and the most discriminatory individual cities are Chicago, Los Angeles, and Louisville. For Hispanic would-be renters, the most discriminatory region is the Northeast and the most discriminatory individual cities are Louisville, Houston, and Providence.

I’m not going to claim that there’s always a direct correlation between black crime rates, in specific cities, and the rates of discrimination – but it is noteworthy that the three most discriminatory cities are Chicago (constantly in the news for black shootings), Los Angeles (constantly in the news for black “smash and grab” robberies) and Louisville (also with extremely high crime rates, and high concentrations of blacks in certain areas). All of these cities are Diverse, with neither Chicago nor Los Angeles being known for their large white redneck populations.

The ABC article lists the worst US cities for homicides, with Chicago at the top of the list:

Chicago, the nation’s third-largest city, leads the nation with 739 homicides as of the end of November, up 3% from 2020, according to Chicago Police Department crime data.

Regarding the Vox article, I couldn’t help but notice that there is no mention of the race of prospective landlords/property managers. The focus is entirely on renters. This omission exists in the original research paper as well.

Obviously, the authors were looking for racism, and a reasonable person would ask if the “racist landlords” are, indeed, of a different race than the victims. Is it possible that the authors simply overlooked this factor? Perhaps they believe that non-whites discriminate against other non-whites as a form of “internalized racism.” If so, then they should have stated as much. Either way, such an omission is inexcusable; it makes me suspect that we’re not dealing with honest people.

The American public is bombarded with articles showing the existence of anti-black/anti-Hispanic housing discrimination – and not one of them delves into the actual REASONS for such discrimination; it’s assumed that it’s white landlords discriminating against black/Hispanic renters for nothing more than the color of their skin.

We need to challenge these studies. We need to demand a more holistic approach, and a willingness to ask the more difficult questions. Quantity cannot serve as a substitute for quality if the goal is a more harmonious society.

Black Airbnb Tenant Triggered by Cotton Field

I know it’s a cliche’ but you can’t make this stuff up. From The Daily Dot:

‘Cotton fields is not normal’: Black TikToker says she showed up to Airbnb with cotton field, sparking debate

“Y’all why did my cousin book this AirBnB with a cotton field in the yard?” TikToker @thechocolateweeb writes in the overlay text of a now-viral video she posted on Friday…

“It is actually pretty decent inside,” Bell says. “Being put in an area like [a cotton field] unexpectedly as a Black person does trigger you a little bit and makes you feel uncomfortable.”

She also mentions that she experienced an “urge” to pick the cotton—not that she wanted to “go back to slavery,” of course.

“It’s an odd feeling that you feel so close to history,” Bell says.

Three questions come to mind.

Firstly, did her sensitivity to history come to her through family tradition, by word of mouth from her grand parents or great grandparents? If so, then I might have some sympathy. In my eyes, the transfer of family history, from generation to generation is a beautiful thing; it’s an important component to a natural, organic, self. If she was brought up, from an early age, with such family traditions, because she came from a family of sharecroppers, then (at least in my mind), her being triggered might be a normal thing. In a sense, she’s living her own history. Good for her…

But it’s more likely that her sensitivity comes from years of public school “We Was Slaves!” curriculum, corporate media victim-indoctrination and Afro-centric movies. In other words, junk-sources.

I’d like to take credit for first noticing this type of distinction, but I actually saw it in a YouTube video concerning historic Chinese traditions. I think it was a video by Laowhy. I can’t locate the specific video right now. In any case, After decades of destroying authentic Chinese traditions and artifacts, the Chinese Communist Party is now encouraging Confucianism, Tai Chi, Kung Fu, and Traditional Chinese Medicine – and harnessing the power of these traditions to its own nefarious ends. The result is an outer shell of what LOOKS LIKE traditional Chinese culture, but is actually a tool of tyranny. Communists in the US have done the same thing with black history.

My second question is: Where does all this end? Does this woman get triggered by trees? After all, many blacks were lynched on trees. Maybe her cloths contain cotton. Why is she not triggered by that?

My third question is: If something as innocuous as a cotton field can “spark debate,” then we should ask ourselves how we allowed our society to become so fragile. We should be looking for ways to cure this insanity.
