Now white conservatives can understand how Blacks feel about the justice system.

[Doug1943]

Except that that is extremely rare

What usually happens is that the black suspect resists attest and winds up dead, which could have been avoided if he had cooperated and obeyed commands of the cops

Yes, that's exactly right. Low impulse control. But ... not always. It's rare, but it does happen.

More importantly, the fact that American Black young males commit a very high proportion of violent crime, compared to their numbers in the population, means that everyone is afraid of a young Black male in situations where they wouldn't be afraid of some one of the same age and sex of another race. (And by 'everyone', I mean Blacks as well, as we know from that famous Jesse Jackson quote.)

But most young Black males are not violent criminals. Yet they get that reaction from others. It's not their fault, it's not the reactor's fault.

What we have to do is brush aside all the leftist cant, all the "you're a victim" bullshit, and deal with the situation. But if we pretend that Blacks are starting from equal, starting from a level playing field, why should we be listened to?

The first step in a solution is to get whatever fraction of young Black people we can, out of the toxic state school system, where even Black teachers don't want to teach, and where academic success is called 'acting white' -- the crab pot effect. That's why we need massive School Choice.

If we get that, we have a chance to have schools like Michaela School in the UK, a 'school choice' school that has mainly non-white pupils, and gets stellar academic results, because it has an old-fashioned ethos for behavior.

And you know who I would try to get to teach in newly-liberated Free Schools? The Black Muslims. They are living examples that you can reject the entirety of white society, and still have the virtues that conservatives prize: self-control, discipline, pride. Right now, a young Black who is told to work hard at school has, at best, the motivation that he or she will do well, personally, in white society. That is, they'll be more like white people. With the Muslims, you have the powerful additional motivation that you are building your nation.

Anyone who has not heard of Michaela School should watch these videos. I promise, you will be amazed, and inspired.

Are we?

Parents at local school boards show up at school board meeting to protest school policies and they are labeled terrorists

Which falls under the preview of the corrupt and politically biased FBI

Remember the Tea Party, Lois Learner and the IRS?

Oh yes. There is no question that people on the Right will be targets of government scrutiny, and where possible, action against us, on the basis of our politics. The national government, at the moment, and many state governments and municipalities, are in the hands of people who do not believe in the rule of law any more. It's the 'legal' equivalent to breaking up conservative meetings on campus, or shouting down conservative speakers.

In other words, the government is not 'us'. Racial/religious/tribal minorities feel the same way, in many countries. The law is technically neutral, but it's used by people whose default attitude towards you (if you're a minority) is that you're probably guilty of something.

 

[marvin martian]

You're actually pretending you don't remember what Comey did days before the election? Seriously? Come on. Everyone knows you're not really that stupid.

The FBI despised Hillary. The whole media despised Hillary. TheSwamp busted their butts to put Trump in office. Trump is the head swamp creature, and he filled it with more putrid scum than anyone thought possible. That's one big reason why conservatives love Trump -- they love the corruption of the swamp.

Remember, dumbasses, you can't gaslight normal people. We were alive in 2016, so we know you're all lying, very badly, for TheGloryOfTheParty.

This is James Comey, btw, for those who don't know:

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

At least they were willing to serve you! I was at a McDonalds some months ago, and the POC wouldn’t even take my order. I was left standing at the counter for 20 minutes, and the first time I requested service, she snapped “you can wait,” and the second time, she said “what are you complaining about?”

I eventually left.

Well I was in the drive-thru so they had no choice but to serve me.

The girl hands me a nearly empty bag. It had nothing in there but condiments. I told her I ordered a big breakfast with hotcakes. Even a mentally retarded person could pick up a bag and feel there's nothing in it. So then she asks for my receipt. She reads it and her supervisor is yelling at her that she handed me an empty bag! So she puts the order in the bag. Upon examination there was no has brown. I waived her down and told her the big breakfast with hotcakes comes with a hash brown. Once again she asked for my receipt that she just looked at 30 seconds ago. You don't need the receipt moron, the breakfast comes with a hash brown. So then she tells me the hash brown was in the paper bag with the condiments, and I told her it was not in there. Finally she goes back and gets the hash brown.

I mean, this is McDonald's for crying out loud. If you're too stupid to do that job, what are you going to do if you get a real job?

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

moving from denying it exists, to justifying why it exists.

thats progress, i guess.

It's just a simple matter of placing the blame where it belongs. I know that goes against liberal philosophy, but that's what we on the right do.

Police gain nothing by pulling over black drivers. It's not like they get a bonus for each one. In fact today, police avoid pulling them over in fear of a confrontation. They would sooner pull over a white person that is less likely to give them a hard time.

 

[Doug1943]

Mac-7

someone hacked into Doug’s account.

Nah. In the first place, Doug's a natural contrarian. And in the second place, he's above all someone who thinks a lot about how our side can win. And to win -- whatever that means in the coming turmoil -- we have to have as many people on our side, actively, passively or at worst neutral, as we can.

Blacks make up 13% of American society. Only about 10% of them vote for conservative candidates, but three times that number identify as 'conservative', by which they mean they believe in religion, the family -- the things that have made for orderly, successful societies in the past. We need to reach these people -- we're talking about, roughly, ten million people here.

But many whites don't have any understanding of what it's like to be Black in America. You see people on this forum casually talking in such a way as to insult all Blacks, using terms like "darkies" etc. This is a gift to the enemy.

It's like people who criticized the Jews for fleeing Europe after the Nazis were defeated. "Why didn't you stay? Why did you go to Palestine when you didn't have to?" People who said that sort of thing acted as if the Jews had lived happily as a minority among kindly neighbors, and then the Nazis suddenly appeared. But the reality was, many East and Central Europeans were as bad as the Nazis, or even worse. There was a horrible pogrom in Poland after the Nazis were defeated. From the Jewish point of view, Europe was on fire, and they jumped from a burning building.

Because the Left has learned that the racial, not the class, fracture line is the best way to attack America, they play the "Everything is racist, you're a victim" card as hard as they can. Naturally, there are elements in the Black community that respond to this. But we mustn't just put a minus where they put a plus, and pretend that Blacks are just another minority, like Armenians. Doing this plays into the hands of the Left.

 

[marvin martian]

You don't have a clue, I don't understand how a white Jewish woman became so racist against black folks.

Could be because so many of you are anti-semites.

 

[Dadoalex]

It's not normal for people to be able to feel much empathy for those who are different from them. This is universally true.

In America, whites, and especially white conservatives, don't really appreciate what is was like to be Black before the Civil Rights Revolution fifty years ago, and especially what it was like to be Black in the South. And even if they do, many of them assume it's totally different now.

I don't want to start an argument about this here (elsewhere, sure) but there is still 'statistical racism' in the US: if a policeman pulls over a car with a dead tail light, and the occupants are young Black males, they will be treated differently than if they were white. There's a valid reason for this, but if you're one of those young Black males, it might not cut much ice with you at the time.

And if you're Black, in front of an all-white jury and a white judge, you won't be crazy to think that your skin color is going to play a role in what happens.

Individuals acting in a private capacity are one thing. But the law is supposed to treat us all equally, regardless of our race, sex, or political affiliation.

But this is not always the case. Long ago, in Houston, an acquaintance of mine named Lee Otis Johnson, a Black militant who was a thorn in the side of the police, gave an undercover policeman a marijuana cigaratte ... was arrested ... was sentenced to, wait for it .... thirty years in prison. All following the letter of the law. He served four before a higher court overturned the sentence. [ Black Panther Gets 30 Years for One Joint (1968) – Hippyland ]

Equal treatment? Things have improved a lot, with respect to race and the law, but they started from a very low base. (The one area where 'Critical Race Theory', which used to be called 'Critical Legal Theory', had a point, was in the way the law could appear to be race-neutral, but in fact was not neutral. (More about that here: [ Critical Race Theory Wasn’t Always Like This ] )

Now, we're finding out what it's like when the letter of the law is followed, but the acutal application of it is unequal. Does anyone believe that if Mr Trump had continued as a Democrat, that he would now be facing felony charges? When I see pious Democrats being interviewed saying 'No one is above the law' I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Come on! Are you kidding me? Hunter Biden is not only 'high', he's high above the law.

Unequal treatment before the law, while following the letter of the law, is now going to be applied to white conservatives. We're going to get to feel what it's like. There are two positive results from this: (1) it will wake up more of our people (and maybe some others as well) as to what is happening to America, and (2) it may make us a bit more understanding of how that young Black man being pulled over for a dead tail light feels.

Let's be clear here.

Trump didn't have public defender who'll work 30 more of these cases before lunch
Trump walked in the front door uncuffed not through the prisoner door manacled/cuffed to 15 other prisoners
Trump was wearing a suit, that while orange tinted from his makeup was not a jail jumpsuit.
After processing Trump and the other 14 prisoners weren't escorted back to a holding cell (a room built for 4 often holding over 20 people) and left there till the prisoner transport bus comes to carry them back to jail.
If he's late for lunch Trump didn't have to wait for dinner to eat...

If a Black defendant made threats against the prosecutor I guarantee he'd not see the outside of the jail till he's on the bus to prison.
If a Black defendant had made open calls for violence in response to his arrest he'd be in jail till he got on the prison bus.

These White "conservatives" are only expressing their White Privilege in complaining about Trump's self induced predicament.

 

[Doug1943]

Who are YOU and what did you do with the real Doug?

You sound like a leftist who thinks it’s a POSITIVE to unfairly target white conservatives, including jailing political dissenters, because in the past it happened to blacks. You are actually defending racism against whites!

It is shameful that the RR (Ruling Regime) is going after whites who disagree with their (harmful) policies.

Lisa, I don't think you read what I posted carefully. I don't think that at all.

But I have noticed that some white conservatives have an unconscious attitude that is wrong, and, from a practical
political point of view, will get in the way of our taking our message to Black people.

I've mentioned -- although you may not have read it -- my own experiences in the South, back in the 60s, when conservatives ruled the system. A white (Jewish, as it happened) friend of mine was imprisoned for performing a guerilla theatre skit wearing Army fatigues -- later overturned by the Supreme Court. [ Schacht v. United States ]

A Black acquaintance of mine was jailed for thirty years for giving a marijuana cigarette to an undercover policeman. [ Lee Otis, Free ] (His sentence was finally overturned after he had served four years.)

Let me know when this happens to a Republican.

But now we have the opportunity to see what the world can look like to those not in control of the system. And we can reach out to racial minorities, whom we MUST win a decisive number of, and do it not from a position of the people in power, but as people who can empathyze with what it's like NOT to be in power. We have the solution to their problems, but we have to get an audience that is willing to listen before we can present it.

Here's a paradox for you: are we saying that the system is now unfair, because we are being persecuted, but it was fair before we became the victims? The reality is, it was never completely fair, nor completely unfair but in fact reflected the power of various social groups. It was the best our species has come up with, so far, but a long way from being perfect.

 

[Mac-7]

But most young Black males are not violent criminals. Yet they get that reaction from others. It's not their fault, it's not the reactor's fault.

And then we have leftists crying that we need to pay them at least $15 an hour! They cant even do a job that I could has mastered by 7th grade.

 

[Doug1943]

These White "conservatives" are only expressing their White Privilege in complaining about Trump's self induced predicament.

Diversity is not strength, but hell. Every society that is unfortunate enough to have significant tribal diversity ('tribal' because not all serious conflicts are about 'race') will see the dominant group 'privileged' in various ways. If you're a Zulu in South Africa in Xhosa-dominated area, you'll see 'Xhosa-privilege'. [ https://readerscafeafrica.com/2017/03/the-zulu-xhosa-feud/ ] The same with Shona/Ndebele in Zimbabwe, Protestant and Catholic in N. Ireland, Greek and Turk (when the lived on the same land), Serb and Croat, Ukrainian and Pole, Muslim and Hindu, Sunni and Shia, Tamil and Sinhala ... it's human nature.

Now the Left wants to wag its finger at whites and make them feel guilty. But whites act just as Blacks act towards their own racial/tribal minorities where Blacks rule. What patriots have to do is to insist, insofar as it's possible, on equality before the law.

However, 'pure' equality, the assumption that we all start from a level playing field, is unrealistic. That is, it literally distorts reality. How we address this is a different discussion.

 

[Doug1943]

Hey, Fake Hippy Doug, tell us how you marched with Dr. King again, and then praise the Koreans who shot at black people 30 years ago.



Because you are a crazy person... and clearly I've shattered your delusions.

Hey, little coward liar Joe, you tell everyone your latest excuse for not taking up my offer of $10 000 if I can't prove to three liberal/left judges that I'm telling the truth about my personal history.

As for "Koreans shooting at Black people," you literally don't know what you're talking about. Black people burned down Korean shops, inflicting hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of damage. The Koreans admirably defended themselves. They didn't need to shoot anybody. Of course, the Left like to blame the police for not protecting the Koreans. If they had protected the Koreans, the Left would have blamed them for brutalizing the Black rioters.

Patriots will emulate the admirable Koreans.

Anyway, little LiarCowardJoe,, let's hear your latest excuse for not taking my money!

 

[Doug1943]

Thats applies to whites also who are labeled as white racists if they do not subscribe to the woke agenda

Sure it does. Although the circumstances are often different. Being 'labelled' is too abstract. For instance, we are 'labelled' as white racists in this forum, but we know the character of the people who do it, and can just dismiss this 'labelling' with a wave of the hand. There are no consequences.

But if you're physically attacked by Leftists on a campus, that's different. We'll see more and more serious consequences as the American cold civil war's temperature increases. So get ready.

What if you’re not physically attacked, but your Constitutional right to free speech is infringed by leftists who don’t want your side of the story out? That’s what ultra-left Berkeley did when it established “Jews Can’t Speak Here” zones?

The Left is turning this country into tyranny.

How do you reach out to people outside of treating them the same as all others? How did Donald Trump increase his minority vote? With the theory that a rising tide lifts all boats. Blacks did better in opening up their own business, new record low for unemployment since records were kept. Restored funds for historic black colleges. Early release which was supposed to cater to blacks. With all that and more, blacks still voted against him in the 90% range.

It's not our move, it's theirs. It's up to blacks to reduce their out of wedlock birth rates. It's up to blacks to earn a living and stay out of trouble with the law. It's up to blacks to assimilate with white people if they wish to live with us in peace. It's up to blacks to invest their money instead of having children at a young age where they can't support them. It's up to blacks to start respecting authority instead of fighting with them. At this point in time, it's their move, not ours. The Democrats have long catered to blacks by treating them like the kids on the short bus. We on the right simply can't do that.

Yes, that's right. Lisa, we have to start thinking like soldiers, like generals or admirals.

Just reacting when the enemy does something is useless, especially if that reaction is just posting something online.
I don't know enough about the Berkeley situation to comment, but in general, we need to become what the Left is: campaigners.

On the Free Speech issue, we need to form coalitions with non-conservatives who still believe in free speech. This is key. For instance, I'm in a group of academics who campaign for free speech on campus. There are a couple of national organizations which do so as well. It's a 'wedge issue' that can divide the Left.

When you run a campaign, you've got to do the publicity right. How many of us know how, or are in groups where someone knows how, to: (1) write a professional press release; (2) contact the media (print, audio, visual) for an interview (and being interviewed is an art -- never go in blind). [And, as background, how many people know how to cultivate journalists?]; (3) Make persuasive leaflets for (a) distributing, (b) posting; (4) Write a persuasive Letter to the Editor; (5) Organize a 'comment campaign' where there is relevant news article in an online publication that allows comments; (6) make a video on the issue. (7) Organize a demonstration on the issue. There is an art to doing this. Same for (8) Organize a public meeting on the issue. [There' a whole checklist of things you want to do before, during and after a public meeting, eg get names and email addresses, security, having a good Powerpoint system, doing follow-up. (9) Petitions.

A lot depends on the political landscape -- at Berkeley, I assume you'd be targetting the University board of directors ... so you'd need intelligence on who they are, what they think about political issues ... what the past history of Berkeley is with repect to this (you probably know about the famous events in, I think, 1965, with Jack Weinberg in the police car?). What groups exist that you could unite with ... there might be some improbable allies (I recall the group I was in having a joint demonstration with Hashomer Hatzair around some issue ... I had never heard of them until then ..this was about 50 years ago). There's more: fundraising, social events, etc.

The Left campaigns and we don't. We've got to learn how.

how can you feel empathy for blacks when dont take responsibility for their own actions or better them selves and pathetically blame a whole other race for their own crap? They do not feel empathy for each other either. they kill thousands of each other every day. you can not except other to care when you matter to each other.

No, we must not patronize Blacks. But we must not be passive and just wait, either. There are Black organizations which are doing the right thing, and we have to ally with them. If you're a patriotic/conservative activist, you should always be thinking of how to reach out to those communities which are now Democrat-oriented. We have to be active. I don't want to go into details of how to do that here, but there are things we can do, and should do.

English doesn't require 'quantifiers' before plural nouns, so you can say 'blacks ... don't take responsibility for their actions'. I think you mean 'some', or 'many' or even 'most'. But when you just say 'Blacks' you imply 'all'. This is deadly for us.
