No justice in California

A couple was arrested for baiting, and beating, bicycle thieves outside their home. From the LA Times:

For months, police said, a Visalia, Calif., couple left a bicycle unattended outside their home in order to bait passersby into stealing it. Once someone took the bike, the couple would run from their home and, on at least four occasions, police said, beat the person with a baseball bat.

Visalia police arrested the couple Wednesday. They face charges of assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy.

Police say Corey Curnutt, 25, and Savannah Grillot, 29, posted videos of the assaults to YouTube from July through November. Video shows the unattended bike in the front of the house. In two instances, a person takes the bicycle off the property. Once that person reaches the sidewalk, two people identified by police as Curnett and Grillot run from their home with a baseball bat in hand…

A GoFundMe page shared on Curnutt’s Facebook page said that after the couple’s car window was busted and money was stolen, followed later by the theft of their son’s bicycle and other items, law enforcement was contacted but no arrests were made.

“They decided to use a scare tactic in effort to convince people to stop stealing from them,” the page reads.

This couple should be applauded, not prosecuted. Presumably, they paid taxes. They PAID their local police department to uphold the law, and to serve them. Instead, local police took their money, and did NOTHING.

This is to be expected. From National Review:

California’s Proposition 47 downgraded a variety of “non-serious, nonviolent crimes” that had previously been considered felonies to misdemeanors. These include shoplifting, grand theft, receiving stolen property, forgery, fraud, and writing bad checks. As long as the total value of the stolen property is under $950, only a ghost of an offense has occurred. A thief may now steal something under that limit on a daily basis and it will never rise to felony status.

In the event that a perpetrator is pursued and apprehended, the consequence can be a small fine or a brief stay in jail, In reality, these repercussions are rare. In addition, DNA samples aren’t collected from misdemeanor offenders. Thus the DNA database has shrunk, making it more difficult for law-enforcement agencies to solve cold cases, including those involving rape and murder.

There are times when some sort of vigilante justice is justified, and this is one such case. If your property is being stolen, and the government will not help you, then you have a right to take matters into your own hands.

This is yet one more example of California’s dysfunction. I hope Corey and Savannah are spared any serious consequences for their actions. Maybe next time, they should be more careful, and discrete, about how they protect their own property.

I need your help!

No, I’m not asking for money. What I’m asking for is time-donation.

Aside from writing this blog, I’m also active on Quora.com (username Reuben Hayat). I’ll be active there until (inevitably) I’m banned for good. At that point, maybe I’ll actually find time to visit the shooting range; it’s been too long.

Quora is a great way to reach a wider audience, and to educate people. I’ve actually had some success in opening peoples’ eyes. But sometimes it’s a lonely fight. Leftist bias is rampant. They do tolerate conservative views, and there are some good conservative writers, some of whom straddle the line to white-advocacy. Those writers have some immunity, since they’re well-established, with large followings.

Not so yours truly. Most of the time, when I write about race, my post gets deleted for “violating Quora policy.” The accusations are typically baseless, and appeals are often futile.

Yesterday, somebody asked that I answer the question “Why are African Americans treated differently in the US?” Here’s what I answered (within hours, it was removed for “violating Quora policy”):

It’s required by law, just as different treatment of women is required by law. The notion that ALL demographics will produce equal results, given the same opportunities, is the official policy of the US government.

Unfortunately, nature does not agree with the US government, and the races/genders are NOT equal.

We see unequal results in contact sports, with American blacks having an advantage – but this isn’t viewed as problematic, since blacks are an official “victim group.”

Discrimination against whites is expected, and encouraged. for example, defending accusations of racism, McDonalds recently defended itself thusly:

“McDonald’s said it disagreed with the characterization of the company’s behavior. In a statement, it said 45% of its corporate officers and all of its field vice-presidents are people of color.” (McDonald’s: black executives sue over ‘systematic’ racial discrimination).

In a country that’s still around 66% white, nobody cares that whites are underrepresented among McDonald’s corporate officers – and NONEXISTENT among its vice-presidents.

Obama-era guidelines force school districts to treat students differently based on race; if they discipline too many black students, the district will run afoul of federal guidelines, and lose money:

“The directive, cast as a “guidance,” in fact formalized a fundamental shift in the Department of Education’s approach to civil rights enforcement. Prior to the Dear Colleague Letter, the standard held that civil rights are violated if students are treated differently because of race; for instance, if a black student and a white student both curse at a teacher, it’s wrong to suspend the black student and give the white student a warning. The Dear Colleague Letter expanded the standard from disparate treatment to disparate impact; now, if two black students and one white student curse at a teacher, it could be a civil rights violation to punish them all equally.” (Obama’s School Discipline Guidelines Put Students in Grave Danger | Manhattan Institute).

What about college admissions? An Obama-era judge just ruled that it’s okay for Harvard University to discriminate in favor of blacks, at the expense of Asians and whites:

“A federal judge in Massachusetts has ruled that Harvard University does not illegally discriminate against Asian Americans.

The keyword is “illegally.” Harvard does discriminate against Asian Americans in its college admissions process.

District Court Judge Allison Burroughs concedes that Harvard follows a “racially conscious” admissions system that gives a plus to black and Hispanic applicants but dings Asian applicants, according to Harvard’s own internal review.

Treating a group worse or better than the way people usually are treated is the dictionary definition of discrimination, though Burroughs takes pains to avoid using the term in her decision.

But the Massachusetts judge, a Barack Obama appointee, maintained in the ruling Tuesday that Harvard’s discrimination was legal because Harvard demonstrated a compelling rationale for needing its race-conscious admissions program, and that such a program was the only way for the college to fulfill that rationale.” (Why Using Racial Discrimination to Create a Diverse University Is a Bad Idea).

Are black and white employees treated equally in today’s workforce? Not in my experience. For example, when I worked at a fairly large company, we had bad hires of all backgrounds – but when I asked about one particularly bad employee, who happened to be black, I was told (by my manager) that since he’s a member of a “protected group,” HR requires a lot more documentation before he can be gotten rid of. It’s much more difficult to fire a black employee than to fire a white employee.

Far from addressing past anti-black policies, such practices/attitudes PERPETUATE them.

When employers know that it’s harder to fire black employees, don’t you think they’ll shy away from hiring them in the first place?

When white McDonalds employees see blacks getting promoted ahead of them, creating a glass-ceiling for whites, don’t you think this will create some resentment?

When black students see that they can get away with misbehaving in school, don’t you think this will have the effect of encouraging such misbehavior?

The way forward is to treat people with equality, not to force a racial caste-system upon American society.

So, if you’ve got spare time on your hands, please create an account there, read the rules. Post on a variety of topics. When you write about race, or white-advocacy, remember to take baby steps and to be polite.

Also remember to upvote my comments, assuming you agree with them, and to report anti-white questions and answers. Yes, they do remove anti-white content when it’s reported. You can also follow me there.

“Boxy” thinking from Red Ice

I was watching the most recent “Flashback Friday” video, from Red Ice, and (18:28), they brought up a disturbing story. It’s from the National File:

Pastor’s Wife Celebrates Transgender Child’s Puberty Blockers, Paid by Church Insurance

In a viral Facebook post, activist mother of trans child, Jamie Bruesehoff, celebrated the insertion of puberty blocking implant.

Her trans daughter, Rebekah, 12, is a public figure with their own Facebook page…

I completely agree with Red Ice, that this is disgusting. The story speaks for itself. But Henrik and Lana felt the need to point out that most such medical devices are produced in Israel, and then to claim that Israel is willing to encourage this type of behavior in the US, but not within its own borders.

As for Israel producing hormone-blocking products, this may be so, but let’s take this in context; Israel is the source of a multitude of revolutionary technologies, including medical devices. I’ll point out that Israel is also a leading innovator in medical devices for pregnant women. It would not be surprising if an Israeli technology is utilized some time during Lana’s pregnancy.

I’ll take this opportunity to wish Lana and Henrik a smooth, and successful, pregnancy, culminating in healthy children and lots of joy.

What about the claim that Israel doesn’t allow such perversions within its own borders? It’s simply not true. Within Israel’s secular community, which comprises the great majority, liberals push the same agenda that they do in the Western world. Israel is quite LGBT-friendly. If there are no children in Israel using the same hormone-blocking implant, it means little – as it’s extremely rare even in the West. Hence, the “celebrity status” of this child.

We all know there is a “Jewish Problem.” We know that Jews are often at the forefront of the War against Whites. It’s no secret, and there are plenty of factual accusations that can be leveled against such Jews. So there is no need to manufacture anti-white Jewish conspiracies where there are none, or to take baseless cheap shots.

And there’s no need for Red Ice to pepper their videos with snide remarks aimed at Jews. It’s not productive at all; just deal with the issue head on. They don’t need to worry about YouTube banning them anymore.

Earlier in the video (6:10), Henrik remarks that modern design, which utilizes many linear and square patterns, may be intended to make our thinking “boxy.”

The frequent use of boogeymen is, in my opinion, an example of “boxy” thinking. It’s easy to cartoonize your opponents, portraying them as if they’re villains in a comic book. In such comic books, villains are purely evil, and heroes are purely good. There is very little nuance. At a certain level, it’s intellectually lazy to use an entire demographic as a prop in such a way, as if they’re villains in a comic book.

This is my main criticism against the book “Camp of the Saints.” Though prophetic, the book fails to portray the invading hordes as human beings. They might as well be a swarm of locusts, or a colony of ants. This may have been intentional, but it’s counterproductive. If you portray your opponents (for lack of a better word) in such a way, sooner or later, people are going to actually meet them, and realize that they’re quite human after all. At that point, you’ve lost credibility.

Consider what happened to Derek Black, the son of Don Black, founder of Stormfront. One can only imagine what horrors Derek was taught about Jews as he grew up. Inevitably, Derek moved out and met REAL Jews – who turned out to be very nice. Now Derek is a flaming liberal.

I wouldn’t waste my time criticizing hard-core Jew-haters, such as we find at Stormfront or The Daily Stormer. We can only hope that they see the error of their ways on their own. Red Ice is better than that.

I live in Portland. Sometimes, when I get home, I feel like I’ve walked through a jungle, with monkeys flinging excrement at me. I can turn on my computer and let the cheerful dispositions of Henrik and Lana wash away all the filth. They’re a great source of inspiration for many of us. For this I am grateful.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could live in a world where Jews and white-advocates got along? We pro-white Jews do what we can to foster cooperation. An occasional nod of acknowledgment (as in “POC allies”) would be nice.

Keep up the good work Red Ice. I always wish for your well being and success.

Amren Conference 2020

I’m in the process of signing up for this year’s Amren (American Renaissance) conference. I say “in the process” because banks have been participating in the War against Whites for some time now – and it is no longer possible to tender payments to American Renaissance via credit card.

Instead, we must now fill out an online form, which will reserve our place at the conference/hotel, and then send in a check or money order by snail mail.

This inconvenience shouldn’t impact the number of attendees; anybody who is willing and able to attend this conference should be committed enough to overcome such minor obstacles. It’s not the sort of thing a casual visitor would do on a whim. White-Advocacy conferences are not an impulse-buy. Revolutions aren’t accomplished by armchair warriors who can’t be bothered to walk to the mail box.

My hope is that these recent difficulties with the banks will serve to illustrate, to those on the fence, the necessity of supporting white-advocacy groups, such as American Renaissance. The fact that powerful forces so desperately seek to prevent us from holding conferences, and meeting face to face, should reinforce our resolve to do just that.

Some, such as Greg Johnson (In Defense of Prejudice pg. 67), argue that:

… maybe it is time to rethink the conference model altogether. The internet and digital audio production and film-making technologies have dramatically undermined the monopoly of the mainstream media. Jared Taylor can sit in his family room, address a digital camera, upload his talk to the web, and practically everyone on the planet with computer access can view it.

Every American Renaissance speech could be professionally filmed and distributed the same way. The cameraman could travel to the speakers and film them in their homes with proper lighting and sound. They would also have the leisure  to get every presentation perfect, without being hurried along by the conference schedule.

He goes on to list the great costs of such conferences, and that web-based presentations are far more efficient in reaching large audiences.

From a practical perspective, Mr. Johnson is right – but the fact remains that every time we successfully hold a conference, it’s a moral victory for us. Attendees leave with renewed morale and commitment.  But it’s not only attendees who benefit; thousands (if not millions) of others, around the world, are encouraged and invigorated through these conferences.

The fact that the most powerful institutions in the world, the major banks, have taken the trouble to silence us, should also illustrate the need to donate, and encourage those who can, to do so.

Do you think that a liberal, seeing a photo of a starving child in Africa, would excuse himself from donating on the grounds that the child has no bank account? White advocacy organizations are, in a sense, in a worse position than the starving child. At least the starving child has powerful NGOs working to raise him from his misery.

In conclusion, dear readers, whether or not you made a New Year’s resolution, take your $5 or $10 or $100 and send a check or money order to American Renaissance (call the number at the bottom of the page for information).

Fake news from USA Today

In an article titled “We’re not going to cower...” USA Today describes how small Jewish communities, around America, are preparing for anti-Semitic attacks:

The challenges can be particularly steep for smaller communities, which often find themselves with fewer financial resources and isolated geographically. Paying for security measures like cameras, panic buttons, bulletproof glass, metal detectors or armed guards can add up quickly, and isn’t in every synagogue’s budget.

Interesting that USA sees fit to only list such expensive “solutions.” One can purchase a handgun for far less. If Orthodox Jews are truly worried about being attacked, they should assign one of their own to guard vulnerable locations while armed with a gun. I wonder why USA Today didn’t think of that… Must have been an oversight.

Who are Orthodox Jews afraid of? USA Today tells us:

… in 2018 there were 775 in the first half of the year. The deadliest came in Pittsburgh in October 2018, when 11 people were murdered by a white supremacist gunman. During the Monsy attack on Dec. 29, a man stabbed five people with a machete at the home of a rabbi. That attack came shortly after two shooters killed four people at a Jersey City, New Jersey, kosher market earlier in December.

Yes, I do remember that a “white supremacist” murdered 11 people in 2018. But the other attackers are described as “a man” and “shooters.” Of course, we know that those attackers, like so many others, were black. This is not kosher reporting.

Lion of the Blogosphere had been reporting black-on-Jewish attacks recently. Here are some from his blog:

https://nypost.com/2020/01/02/brutes-threaten-to-shoot-jewish-man-in-yet-another-anti-semitic-attack/

The 66-year-old victim of Tuesday’s assault was approached by three men at the intersection of S 4th and Keap Streets in Williamsburg at 3.58 p.m. on Tuesday, the source said.

The three assailants launched into an anti-Semitic diatribe, yelling “Jew Hitler burned you, I’ll shoot you,” but did not make any physical contact with the victim, the source said.

The NY Post does not say the race of the perps, but this happened in a Puerto Rican neighborhood (and very close to the housing project where my mom lived when she was a little girl)

Yesterday:

A Jewish teen riding a bus in Brooklyn was threatened at knife-point by two assailants who snatched his earbuds and yarmulke while making anti-Semitic remarks Tuesday, police said.

Today:

Two female attackers yelled “F— you Jew” and “I will kill you Jews” at a Brooklyn man before shoving him to the ground when he tried to film their anti-Semitic screed, law enforcement sources and witnesses said Wednesday.

Obviously all of these perps are black, even though the NY Post doesn’t explicitly say that.

If white youths had assaulted a black man for no reason, this would be the number one story on CNN.

But because it doesn’t advance the preferred narrative, it’s not reported by any fakestream media at all, it’s only a tweet.

It goes without saying that the ones we read about are only the tip of the iceberg. Many more go unreported, and un-prosecuted.

Since New York, and New Jersey, don’t allow law-abiding regular citizens to carry firearms, I recommend a two-word solution to this problem: Khop ‘im!

In the more free states, there’s better two-word solution: Concealed Carry!

The City of Beaverton celebrates The Great Replacement

I got the Beaverton, Oregon annual report in the mail a few days ago. It’s also available online.

On page 7 we find a brief overview of the City of Beaverton, along with a budget breakdown.

Beaverton POC

In a city that’s 66% white, East Indians are featured. As we can see, from the prominent text box at the top, the city’s leaders are proud of the fact that “One in three residents identify as a person of color.” This fact is listed together with the most basic statistics, between the overall population, and the geographical size.

Over the years that I’ve been here, I have noticed more and more non-whites. In other words, and as this page implies, whites are being replaced. If “one in three” is “progress”, then wouldn’t “three in three” be even MORE progress? If Diversity is a good thing, and the percentage of non-whites (“people of color”) reflects this, then doesn’t it follow that a white population of zero is the ultimate goal? If not, then wouldn’t it be fair to ask, “What percentage of whites would be ideal?”

Don’t expect an answer to this question.

On page 12, a Somali refugee is highlighted. We’re told how Abdi Nor Iftin, author of the book “Call me American,” has been travelling the country and met with congressmen. Apparently, Iftin did not want to continue living in 100% diverse Somalia. He found the 66% white USA much more to his liking. Where will he go when the United States is also 100% diverse? Iftin says:

I grew up in a civil war where I could get killed for saying the wrong word.

I wonder if Iftin realizes that the Portland area is not much different in this regard.

On page 10 of the report there’s an article titled “Investing in Diverse Leaders in Our Community.”

The city is recruiting participants for this year’s Beaverton Organizing and Leadership Development (BOLD) Program to be held this March to May. The BOLD Program is a leadership and civic engagement training for emerging immigrant and refugee leaders and leaders of color in Beaverton.

The program includes hands-on sessions focused on strengthening cross-cultural relationships; building leadership, community organizing, and advocacy skills and providing an in-depth orientation to city government and opportunities for engagement.

It would be interesting to know how much money the BOLD program costs; I didn’t see it in the annual budget breakdown. Somehow, I doubt that Abdi Nor Iftin attended this course – yet he seems to be doing quite well for himself. Also, what concrete financial benefits are taxpayers getting in return for this expense?

Honestly, when I see how devoted Mediagov is to the false god of Diversity, it makes me want to move to Mexico. I’d rather live among “people of color” than among self-loathing whites who have no self-respect.

Happy New Year to all of y’all!

2020 is almost upon us, and by the time most of y’all read this, it will already be here. So happy New Year to everybody reading this.

It’s not that I don’t have anything negative to say. In fact, I’ve got plenty of negative items I could bring up… but let’s start this new year with something positive.

Let’s talk about church-going blacks. While I’m aware that practically all of this crowd would vehemently oppose my politics, when it comes to casual encounters with them, my personal experiences have always been positive.

So it was today, when I met such a couple, and we had a few minutes to chat. They’re from New York, and they asked about my “nationality” (IE. my ethnicity). When I replied that I’m Jewish, they immediately expressed their sorrow, and disgust, at the recent attacks upon Jews in the New York area.

I asked them what their pastor had to say about these incidents, and how black churches in New York react to them. As one would expect, they said their pastor forcefully condemns any such attacks. Furthermore, their church works with the local Jewish community to help those in need, and to curb crime.

I have yet to see any stories in the “News” about such cooperation, but there probably will be such a story in the near future.

I think that, on the whole, Christianity has been good for American blacks – and for the non-blacks who live around them. When early Americans converted black slaves to Christianity, it probably wasn’t only the souls of the slaves that concerned them; it was probably also a matter of public safety. It was a win-win situation.

I’ll take this opportunity to disagree with what Jared Taylor said in his interview “Is Muslim Immigration Good for the West” At about 1:03, Mr. Taylor states that he doesn’t mind if Muslims are successful in converting Native Americans to Islam.

We SHOULD* mind. We should also mind that blacks and Hispanics are being converted to Islam. As long as we’re forced to live with non-white populations, it should absolutely matter to us whether those non-whites are Christian or Muslim. We have enough problems with imported Islamic terrorism and black Muslims. We don’t need Native American or Mexican jihadists added to the mix.

*Not that there’s much we can do about it.

“Hate we are most familiar with”

Black-on-Jewish violence in the New York area has been endemic for decades, if not centuries. I lived in the Northeast back in the 1970s, and used to frequent the Jewish areas of Brooklyn. I was involved with Habad (AKA Lubavitch) Hassidism at the time. Back then, blacks would target Jews frequently. In response, Jews would walk in large groups for protection. Some Hassidic groups even had a system worked out to deal with black violence. If a Satmar Hassid had trouble with a black hoodlum, he would only need to shout “Khop im! (Jump him!), and other Jews would come to his aid, beating the living daylights out of the offending hoodlum. I heard stories of Lubavitcher Hassidim beating black trouble-makers within an inch of their lives.

But in those days, crime was rife in New York. This was before the reformations of Mayor Giuliani. It was like the Wild West, and people had to look out for themselves, because nobody else would. You couldn’t count on the police to be there, or for anybody to do much about it if you reported a crime.

Since then, things have calmed down in the New York area, and my impression is that the Jews have become complacent about protecting themselves.

The recent spate of black-on-Jewish violence on the East Coast is something the Corporate Media cannot entirely ignore. A recent Atlantic article states:

Batya Unger-Sargon, the opinion editor at the Forward, put it bluntly and correctly this morning:

After the massacre at a Pittsburgh synagogue on Shabbat that killed 11 people last year, and another fatal shooting at a shul in Poway, California six months later, one often heard that the great threat to Jews—even the only threat—comes from white supremacy. Conventional wisdom said it was the political right, and the right’s avatar in the White House, that was to blame for the rising levels of hate against Jews.

But the majority of the perpetrators of the Brooklyn attacks, and the suspects in Jersey City—who were killed in a shootout with the police—and now Monsey, were not white, leaving many at a loss about how to explain it or even talk about it. There is little evidence that these attacks are ideologically motivated, at least in terms of the ideologies of hate we are most familiar with.

And therein lies the trouble with talking about the violent attacks against Orthodox Jews: At a time when ideology seems to [reign] supreme in the chattering and political classes, the return of pogroms to Jewish life on American soil transcends ideology. In the fight against anti-Semitism, you don’t get to easily blame your traditional enemies—which, in the age of Trump, is a non-starter for most people.

If Batya Unger-Sargon is “not most familiar with” black-on-Jewish violence, then the leftist media (of which she, as an editor at the Forward, is a part) is to blame. Until now, it has been loath to write about it at all; it does not fit the narrative that it so aggressively pushes. To be fair, this is the main point of the Atlantic article – but why the long wait?

Actually, the ideology behind the black-on-Jewish attacks is very familiar to the Corporate Media, it’s just that it’s only recognized when the perpetrators are white.

It’s perfectly normal, and strongly encouraged, for American blacks to be openly proud of their race. But when a white person does the same, he’s a “white-supremacist.” In other words (using leftist parlance), it’s perfectly normal for blacks to be “black-supremacists,” but an aberration for whites to be “white-supremacists.” Does Miss Unger-Sargon honestly believe that these recent crimes do not at all exist against a backdrop of black identity? That it’s completely coincidence that so many of the attackers are black?

She won’t even say it out loud; instead, describing the attackers as “not white.” We all know that they’re not Asian, or Native American. I wonder if Miss Unger-Sargon would be fired if she came out and specifically described them as “black.” Perhaps the initial draft did spell it out, but it was changed.

Miss Unger-Sargon, if you’re reading this, take note: We cannot hope to solve such problems if we continue to honor hackneyed taboos. We must tackle these issues head on, and call it what it is, without euphemisms or codes. It’s BLACK-ON-JEWISH VIOLENCE, and if you were consistent, you’d call it “black-supremacy.”

Seattle Times: Whites are more diverse than blacks

The Seattle Times recently announced new guidelines for the usage of the terms “black” and “white.”

 Black (adj.): Belonging to people who are part of the African diaspora. Capitalize black because it is a reflection of shared cultures and experiences…

White (adj.): Belonging to people with light-colored skin, especially those of European descent. Unlike Black, it is lowercase, as its use is a physical description of people whose backgrounds may spring from many different cultures… Capitalized white is often used by the white nationalist/white supremacist movement.

Thanks to Red Ice (about 1:14) for bringing this up in their video.

This is a crude attempt to diminish the status of whites, and it fails on a couple of levels. Firstly, the fact that the Seattle Times mentions the fact that some white-advocates capitalize “white” somewhat shifts the narrative over to our side. It shows that the Times is ceding control of the narrative, as opposed to setting the narrative themselves. Had the behavior of (some) white-advocates not played a part in this decision, then it would not have been mentioned at all. I’m reminded of how Hillary Clinton inadvertently gave the Alt-Right a huge boost. As the folks at Vice described it:

With her speech, Clinton managed to elevate an ill-defined, and likely small, group of fringe racists into a national threat, giving a national platform to a handful of white nationalist bloggers and the internet trolls who follow them. The GOP is “the White Man’s party, whether it likes it or not,” Richard Spencer, the leader of the white nationalist National Policy Institute credited with coining the term alt-right wrote in a blog post Thursday. “Hillary is trying to push the GOP into permanent minority status by empowering the Alt Right,” he added, “and believe me, she will be empowering us today.”

When a “mainstream” media organization bases its policy, even partially, on the habits of the Resistance, then this is a victory for the Resistance.

Secondly, and more importantly, it negates the very message that the Hostile Elite has been shoving down our throats for decades – that white people are less diverse than non-white people. It wasn’t that long ago when Apple’s Diversity Officer, a black woman named Denise Smith, was fired for stating:

There can be 12 white, blue-eyed, blond men in a room and they’re going to be diverse too because they’re going to bring a different life experience and life perspective to the conversation.

Not according to The Seattle Times, because their directive clearly states that whites are “people whose backgrounds may spring from many different cultures,” but blacks are “of shared cultures and experiences.” In other words, whites are more diverse than blacks.

I’m not saying that leftists can’t disagree. They certainly can, and they do. But my hunch is that the folks at The Seattle Times simply did not give very much thought to the ramifications of their new guidelines. I’m willing to bet that if a Diversity officer at The Seattle Times made a similar announcement to that of Denise Smith, that officer would find himself in hot water. Defending himself by citing the new guidelines would not be very effective, because consistency is not a priority among diversicrats.

As for my own opinion on the capitalization of “white” and “black,” you can find it here.

On a lighter note

These gave me some good laughs, but maybe it’s just because I’d just finished a glass of wine… You tell me:
