YOUR MOMENT OF OOGA BOOGA.

The recent election has given some of the brethren the idea that they can continue to win elections without black votes. This stirs Michael Barone to analysis (the Democrats' "core groups," the "gentry liberals and blacks," he says, are suffering from "geographic and cultural isolation" from real Americans -- one might even say [puts on sunglasses] they've been segregated [YEEA-AAAAH]),  and Heather Mac Donald to, oh, the same horrible shit she always does, only worse, with the aid of the National Review editorial staff:

This Mandingette's black rage is so strong, its blowback has actually turned the police into harmless blurs! Among Mac Donald's choice bits:
No one is “bracing,” in press parlance, for white riots or police violence should Officer Wilson be indicted... 
Normal, as well, is the sickening sense of dread with which one awaits another possible outbreak of black rage... 
The Obama administration has lent its prestige to this conceit, charging, for instance, that the elevated rate of black school suspensions reflects administrator and teacher bias. The disproportionate rate of black students’ misbehavior is left completely out of the anti-discipline crusade, just as the disproportionate rate of black crime is ignored when the media, the White House, and academics discuss allegedly racist police activity and incarceration...
Well, guess it's time for Rand Paul to give another speech at a historically-black college!

UPDATE. In comments, mortimer2000 explains that "any random paragraph of MacDonald's bullshit needs a few additions to make it even remotely pertinent" and does some glossing on her current offering:
No one is “bracing,” in press parlance, for white riots or police violence should Officer Wilson be indicted [not even for all of Wilson's gun-toting racist supporters -- why is that?]. Nor were there preparations for Asian riots last month in Los Angeles as a jury heard a murder case against a 22-year-old [not-a-cop] thug from South Central L.A. [who was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole], who, along with an [not-a-cop] accomplice [who was also sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole], had shot two Chinese engineering students attending the University of Southern California in 2012.
It should also be mentioned that Mac Donald accepts the most cop-friendly interpretation of events in the Brown case as the irrefutable truth, and affects surprise that any black folks would see things differently:  "One might think that it would be good news if Wilson did not initiate the violent encounter or shoot Brown in cold blood: It would mean one less instance of alleged police brutality." Similarly, what if all those old-timers volunteered to work on those cotton plantations? You just have to know how to look at it!

    No, sir: No possible chance of bias here. None at all.

    And the preceding 400+ years of White people keeping Blacks from getting educations, holding decent jobs, buying decent land and housing, competing in the marketplace, and lynching, raping, beating, shooting, and otherwise committing unpunished acts of hideous violence against Blacks--that, too, is nothing to take note of. After all, it's not Whites' fault that Blacks simply didn't appreciate all of that, nor is it Whites' fault that racism still runs deep to this day.

    No sir: No possible chance of bias here. None at all.

  4. The thing is, White violence is like car crashes or gun deaths--a slow steady background noise that our society has come to accept. One, two, many black kids gunned down by the cops each week? No big deal 'cause it's like every OTHER week.

  7. A supporter of Ferguson, Mo. police officer Darren Wilson recently launched a fundraising campaign to put up a billboard in the town that would read "#PantsUPDontLOOT."

    The supporter, who lists himself as living in Brentwood, Tenn., launched the campaign on Oct. 28 on the website IndieGoGo. As Gawker noted on Monday, it had already reached its funding goal.

    Wilson is the police officer who in August fatally shot unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson.

    The phrase "Pants Up, Don't Loot" was popularized by the conservative National Review as a response to the chant commonly recited by supporters of Brown: "Hands Up, Don't Shoot."

  14. Hey, if black kids are punished more frequently or harshly, or even expelled from charter schools in such high numbers that it's virtually indistinct from segregation, it's obviously because they've absorbed the gutter values of their forefathers and are behaving like little monkeys. By the way, you can't call me racist. Condi Rice says that opposing charters that kick out black kids is the real racism.

    Any random paragraph of MacDonald's bullshit needs a few additions to make it even remotely pertinent to the Ferguson situation. Here's an example, but you'd have to do it to the whole thing:
    No one is “bracing,” in press parlance, for white riots or police violence should Officer Wilson be indicted [not even for all of Wilson's gun-toting racist supporters -- why is that?]. Nor were there preparations for Asian riots last month in Los Angeles as a jury heard a murder case against a 22-year-old [not-a-cop] thug from South Central L.A.

    Also:
    "Heather Mac Donald is the Thomas W. Smith fellow at the Manhattan Institute and the author of Are Cops Racist?"

    You'll never guess what her answer is to the question posed by her book title. No really, I bet you can't guess. C'mon, give it a shot. You'll be so surprised at the answer. No, really. It's a shocker.

    She also commits the fallacy of equating all races - the Chinese students killed at USC had few ties to the local Chinese-American community, so why would there be a community reaction? Just because all Chinese people are alike?

    ReplyDelete
  32. That's probably part of her point, being that she's going for this "identity politics" crap. In that worldview, black people all view themselves as one tribe (thanks to liberals, natch), while Asians - the Model Minority(TM) - don't. Never mind that it's conservatives who are always going on about a unitary "black culture" and suggest that all African-Americans raise their children in exactly the same way. No, it's all the fault of black "race hustlers," a term I can't believe people still use.

Michael Brown has, at different points and in different combinations, been described as the following: a thug, a gangbanger, a drug addict, a murderer, a violent brute so terrifying that his bare hands should be considered as dangerous as a gun. Oh, and people have gone after his family as well, referring to his relatives as criminals.

    But it's Wilson who's been unacceptably smeared. Just so we're all clear.

    In other words, she has pulled the entire ‘bracing’ thing out of her magician’s top-hat-shaped arse, specifically so she can blame black people for stuff (i) other people are allegedly doing (‘bracing’), which (ii) nobody but her is

    Not to minimize other forms of workplace harassment, but I'm thinking this qualifies. I've had a taste of it in a non-job situation, and it provided a couple of laughs and opportunities to mumble "oh, fuck you, asshole," but I'm pretty sure I'd go postal after a while.

  162. We've managed to set the protestors up with a great Catch-22. Remain peaceful and be ignored (and thus not able to accomplish their goal), or have violence break out and be crushed by further state violence--and thus prevented from accomplishing their goal.

    Why do liberals hate volunteer/internship work experience? There is no free lunch you looney libs! NRO Internship provides valuable work experience for young people just entering the workforce. Here at NRO, some of our staff of writers even allow inexperienced prospective bullshit peddlers to do most of the hands on work themselves thus providing a stepping stone for a long and lucrative career in the bullshit arts. It's the freemarket system!

    I've been re-reading The Grapes of Wrath and the term "agitators" is often used by the farm owners against starving migrants who want to work for 30c an hour (instead of 25 or 15) to feed their families.
    Imagine my surprise to see it used in 2014 against those who dare challenge the police killing of an unarmed teen.
