On Wednesday we published a remarkable chart from Jesse Felder , showing that in the past few weeks , google search queries for “ day trading ” and “ call option ” had exploded to all time highs as retail daytraders flooded into the “ can ’ t lose ” market .

But who are these furious dip buyers who will soon be responsible for a new financial product , the Initial Bankruptcy Offering ?
While conventional wisdom defines the typical Robinhooder as a bored , “ unemployed from home ” Millennial or Gen Zer , the anecdotal reality is even more bizarre .
As former Goldman partner Joseph Mauro writes on twitter , his 10-year-old son can ’ t find Fortnite players as they have migrated over to Robinhood .
Of course , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cheek , but the fact that HTZ stock rose nearly 100 % on the news the company would sell worthless stock to retail bagholders , lowering the cost basis of its creditors by $ 1 billion is merely confirmation that while daytraders may have made money chasing momentum , when it comes to even modestly complex “ situations ” , things get scary .

On Wednesday we published a remarkable chart from Jesse Felder, showing that in the past few weeks, google search queries for “day trading” and “call option” had exploded to all time highs as retail daytraders flooded into the “can’t lose” market.
To this we can now add the recent trends for “Robinhood” which, predictably is also at all time highs.
All of this was not lost on Hertz and Jefferies, who as we reported overnight, are now hoping to piggyback on this daytrading euphoria to sell up to a $1 billion of effectively worthless to these same momentum-chasing addicts.
But who are these furious dip buyers who will soon be responsible for a new financial product, the Initial Bankruptcy Offering? While conventional wisdom defines the typical Robinhooder as a bored, “unemployed from home” Millennial or Gen Zer, the anecdotal reality is even more bizarre.

Others share similar experiences:
My son told me his friends were buying htz and chk. They’re 12.
Telling him to get in on it. Needless to say we had a nice chat about a few things. — George Contos (@Georgecontos3) June 9, 2020
Of course, all of this is likely tongue in cheek, but the fact that HTZ stock rose nearly 100% on the news the company would sell worthless stock to retail bagholders, lowering the cost basis of its creditors by $1 billion is merely confirmation that while daytraders may have made money chasing momentum, when it comes to even modestly complex “situations”, things get scary.
In any case, here is Michael Every’s take on this absurdity:
There is a great deal of nonsense on Twitter, now more than ever, but the odd gem too. One of the latter, I believe, describes at least a part of how the market got to the stage where it could fall so precipitously. A parent was complaining that half of their son’s Fortnite gaming companions were no longer joining his squad because they were all day-trading on a certain online platform associated with merry men instead. The boy in question is 10. Now this is entirely anecdotal – but seasoned professionals and journeymen will admit that the general level of market ridiculousness seen around us certainly fits that anecdote. To use Fortnite terminology for anyone reading (“Hi, day-trading 10-year old!”), what just happened is not a bug in our system: it is a feature.
His conclusion: with investors like this there is no way Hertz will not be able to pull off its new equity offering in a market “so silly it hurts”:
S&P futures are up moderately again this morning following far smaller declines in Asian stock indices. Perhaps grandmothers in the east are buying the dip that crushed children in the West. Perhaps both will want to snap up the USD1bn in a new bankrupt stock offering from a US car rental company whose name tells you everything about how silly this market is: so silly it hurts.
JonesTrading strategist Mike O’Rourke summarized this raging insanity best overnight:
Powell is reinforcing the view that markets that moving higher are functioning and markets that are moving lower are malfunctioning (as he concluded). He stated, “We’re not focused on moving asset prices in a particular direction, or at all. We want markets to be working, and I think partly as a result of what we’ve done they are working and we hope that continues.” The Chairman spent the entire press conference talking about the uncertainty of the recovery, 22-24 million people unemployed, and the millions of people who will remain unemployed. Is that consistent with a market on the cusp of making new all time highs?
The market is more broken today than it was on March 23rd, and it is entirely due to the Central Bank. The most remarkable aspect about Federal Reserve policy over the past 12 years is that very little of it has been related to economics. It has almost entirely been tied to financial markets, and leadership of the Fed over that time has repeatedly exhibited ignorance as to the functioning of financial markets.
Bottom line: when the Fed has made stocks the risk-free asset, it’s the 10-year-olds who are the “smart money”… which is probably bad news for all those mature professional advisors and hedge funders who are generously paid to analyze “fundamentals” – well, they have all been made redundant.

newswars--2020-06-12--Woman Missing In Texas Arrested  in Washington for Torching 5 Police Cars

A woman at the center of a missing persons investigation in Texas was located in Washington state and arrested for setting several police cars on fire last month .
In a federal complaint filed Thursday , an ATF special agent lays out how they were able to identify Margaret Aislinn Channon , 25 , through a series of photos and still video frames and execute a search warrant at her Tacoma , Washington , residence taking her into custody .
The complaint accuses Channon of attempting to destroy “ by means of fire ” five vehicles used by the Seattle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ various pieces of media showing a woman wearing a black and white striped mask and torching police cars .
From there they were able to identify her through a photo showing her facing police with her hands and palms up , which also showed a distinctive “ W-A-I-F ” tattoo on her fingers .
Because these photographs are of very high quality , agents were able to zoom in on the female ’ s left hand and see that she had a distinctive tattoo .
Specifically , she had the letters “ W-A-I-F @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left hand , with the “ W ” on her index finger ; “ A ” on her middle finger ; “ I ” on her ring finger ; and “ F ” on her pinkie finger .
Police then scoured numerous jail databases searching for “ WAIF ” tattoos , coming up empty-handed , but then located a match on a Facebook post detailing a missing persons report from the Brewster County Sheriff ’ s Department in Texas .
These posts indicated that a person named Margaret Aislinn Channon had gone missing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ described in one post as a white female who was five feet and five inches tall with “ tattoos on her leg shoulder and left wrist.

A woman at the center of a missing persons investigation in Texas was located in Washington state and arrested for setting several police cars on fire last month.
In a federal complaint filed Thursday, an ATF special agent lays out how they were able to identify Margaret Aislinn Channon, 25, through a series of photos and still video frames and execute a search warrant at her Tacoma, Washington, residence taking her into custody.
The complaint accuses Channon of attempting to destroy “by means of fire” five vehicles used by the Seattle Police Department.
Agents honed in on various pieces of media showing a woman wearing a black and white striped mask and torching police cars.
From there they were able to identify her through a photo showing her facing police with her hands and palms up, which also showed a distinctive “W-A-I-F” tattoo on her fingers.
From the complaint:
Because these photographs are of very high quality, agents were able to zoom in on the female’s left hand and see that she had a distinctive tattoo. Specifically, she had the letters “W-A-I-F” tattooed on the fingers of her left hand, with the “W” on her index finger; “A” on her middle finger; “I” on her ring finger; and “F” on her pinkie finger.
Police then scoured numerous jail databases searching for “WAIF” tattoos, coming up empty-handed, but then located a match on a Facebook post detailing a missing persons report from the Brewster County Sheriff’s Department in Texas.
These posts indicated that a person named Margaret Aislinn Channon had gone missing in February of 2019. Channon was described in one post as a white female who was five feet and five inches tall with “tattoos on her leg shoulder and left wrist.” Another post indicated that Channon had “many tattoos, including WAIF on fingers.”
After positively identifying Channon through various social media profiles, police went back over videos and photos confirming she was “in fact, the arsonist” seen setting fire to police cars.
During the raid on her home, police “also seized clothing and accessories that appear in some of the videos from the arsons.”
Channon’s crimes are punishable by up to 10 years in prison, a DOJ press release states.

newswars--2020-06-12--North Korea Slams ‘Empty Promises’ of Trump Admin

Pyongyang has received no substantive concessions from the US in the two years since the Singapore peace summit , so Donald Trump will not be given anymore free diplomatic wins , the North Korean foreign minister says .
Two years ago , a personal meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un gave hope for improved relations between their two nations .
Now , with no progress in sight , Pyongyang doubts that it makes sense to “ hold hands , ” Foreign Minister Ri Son-gwon said .
The hopes of the 2018 Singapore summit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even a slim ray of optimism for peace and prosperity on the Korean peninsula has faded away into a dark nightmare , ” the minister said in a statement relayed by state news agency KCNA .
Pyongyang has offered a number of unilateral concessions to Washington , including shutting down a nuclear test site , returning the remains of American soldiers who died during the Korean War , releasing “ convicted felons of US nationality , ” and suspending all nuclear and missile tests , Ri said .
These were all claimed by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but North Korea received nothing in return .
Instead , Washington continued to threaten Pyongyang with its nuclear weapons while pumping up the South Korean military with advanced offensive hardware , “ burdening ” its government with the “ payment of an astronomical amount of money.

“ Nothing is more hypocritical than an empty promise.

” The summit in Singapore was hailed by many media outlets as a historic event , ushering in a period of detente after a time of particularly high tensions between the US and North Korea .
But even at that time , skeptics pointed out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meeting .
Washington insists on the total dismantling of North Korea ’ s nuclear arsenal , which is perceived by its leadership as the only thing that can deter a potential invasion by the US and its allies .

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was celebrated in the early weeks for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
His approval ratings shot up and his conflicts with President Trump had some on the left toying with the idea of drafting Cuomo to replace Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket in November.
And then the New York City area became a coronavirus hotspot, not just in the United States, but the hotspot of the world, and the combined failures of Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio were suddenly too difficult to deny.
A Wall Street Journal investigation published Thursday details how their response “was marred by missed warning signs and policies that many health-care workers say put residents at greater risk and led to unnecessary deaths.”
In the first few days of March, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio assured New Yorkers things were under control. On March 2, Mr. de Blasio tweeted that people should go see a movie.
Only after the disease had gripped the city’s low-income neighborhoods in early March did Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio mobilize public and private hospitals to create more beds and intensive-care units. The hasty expansion that ensued, led by New York government leaders and hospital administrators, produced mistakes that helped worsen the crisis, health-care workers say.
And the disaster of their failed leadership can be seen in the numbers. “New York state’s death toll of 30,575 accounted for 7% of the world’s deaths and 27% of American deaths as of June 11, according to Johns Hopkins University data.”

The Wall Street Journal notes that “leaders in states like California and Ohio acted quickly to contain the spread,” Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio “delayed taking measures to close the state and city even as the number of cases swelled, despite warnings from doctors, nurses and schoolteachers.”

newswars--2020-06-12--Anonymous Berkeley Professor Shreds BLM Injustice Narrative With Damning Facts And Logic

An anonymous history professor at U.C .
Berkeley has penned an open letter against the current narratives of racial injustice underpinning the BLM movement and ongoing protests over the death of George Floyd .
Its authenticity was confirmed by Kentucky State University Assistant Professor of Political Science , Wilfred Reilley , who says he was sent a copy of the letter along with Stanford University economist Thomas Sowell .
Reprinted in its entirety below ( emphasis ours ) via @ tracybeanz : I am one of your colleagues at the University of California , Berkeley .
I have met you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ closely , and am contacting you anonymously , with apologies .
I am worried that writing this email publicly might lead to me losing my job , and likely all future jobs in my field .
In your recent departmental emails you mentioned our pledge to diversity , but I am increasingly alarmed by the absence of diversity of opinion on the topic of the recent protests and our community response to them .
In the extended links and resources you provided , I could not find a single instance of substantial counter-argument @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of black individuals in academia or their over-representation in the criminal justice system .
The explanation provided in your documentation , to the near exclusion of all others , is univariate : the problems of the black community are caused by whites , or , when whites are not physically present , by the infiltration of white supremacy and white systemic racism into American brains , souls , and institutions .
Many cogent objections to this thesis have been raised by sober voices , including from within the black community itself , such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ These people are not racists or ‘ Uncle Toms ’ .
They are intelligent scholars who reject a narrative that strips black people of agency and systematically externalizes the problems of the black community onto outsiders .
Their view is entirely absent from the departmental and UCB-wide communiques .
The claim that the difficulties that the black community faces are entirely causally explained by exogenous factors in the form of white systemic racism , white supremacy , and other forms of white discrimination remains a problematic hypothesis that should be vigorously challenged by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treated as an axiomatic and actionable truth without serious consideration of its profound flaws , or its worrying implication of total black impotence .
This hypothesis is transforming our institution and our culture , without any space for dissent outside of a tightly policed , narrow discourse .
A counternarrative exists .
If you have time , please consider examining some of the documents I attach at the end of this email .
Overwhelmingly , the reasoning provided by BLM and allies is either primarily anecdotal ( as in the case with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ article ) or it is transparently motivated .
As an example of the latter problem , consider the proportion of black incarcerated Americans .
This proportion is often used to characterize the criminal justice system as anti-black .
However , if we use the precise same methodology , we would have to conclude that the criminal justice system is even more anti-male than it is anti-black .
Would we characterize criminal justice as a systemically misandrist conspiracy against innocent American men ?
I hope you see that this type of reasoning is flawed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our rational faculties .
Black people are not incarcerated at higher rates than their involvement in violent crime would predict .
This fact has been demonstrated multiple times across multiple jurisdictions in multiple countries .
And yet , I see my department uncritically reproducing a narrative that diminishes black agency in favor of a white-centric explanation that appeals to the department ’ s apparent desire to shoulder the ‘ white man ’ s burden ’ and to promote a narrative of white guilt .
If we claim that the criminal justice system is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Americans , Indian Americans , and Nigerian Americans are incarcerated at vastly lower rates than white Americans ?
This is a funny sort of white supremacy .
Even Jewish Americans are incarcerated less than gentile whites .
I think it ’ s fair to say that your average white supremacist disapproves of Jews .
And yet , these alleged white supremacists incarcerate gentiles at vastly higher rates than Jews .
None of this is addressed in your literature .
None of this is explained , beyond hand-waving and ad hominems .
“ Those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ model minority myth is white supremacist ” .
“ Only fascists talk about black-on-black crime ” , ad nauseam .
These types of statements do not amount to counterarguments : they are simply arbitrary offensive classifications , intended to silence and oppress discourse .
Any serious historian will recognize these for the silencing orthodoxy tactics they are , common to suppressive regimes , doctrines , and religions throughout time and space .
They are intended to crush real diversity and permanently exile the culture of robust criticism from our department .
Increasingly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and subscribe to BLM ’ s problematic view of history , and the department is being presented as unified on the matter .
In particular , ethnic minorities are being aggressively marshaled into a single position .
Any apparent unity is surely a function of the fact that dissent could almost certainly lead to expulsion or cancellation for those of us in a precarious position , which is no small number .
I personally don ’ t dare speak out against the BLM narrative , and with this barrage of alleged unity being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the UC administration , corporate America , and the media , the punishment for dissent is a clear danger at a time of widespread economic vulnerability .
I am certain that if my name were attached to this email , I would lose my job and all future jobs , even though I believe in and can justify every word I type .
The vast majority of violence visited on the black community is committed by black people .
There are virtually no marches for these invisible victims , no public silences @ @ @ @ @ @ @ regents , deans , and departmental heads .
The message is clear : Black lives only matter when whites take them .
Black violence is expected and insoluble , while white violence requires explanation and demands solution .
Please look into your hearts and see how monstrously bigoted this formulation truly is .
No discussion is permitted for nonblack victims of black violence , who proportionally outnumber black victims of nonblack violence .
This is especially bitter in the Bay Area , where Asian victimization by black assailants has reached epidemic proportions , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chief has advised Asians to stop hanging good-luck charms on their doors , as this attracts the attention of ( overwhelmingly black ) home invaders .
Home invaders like George Floyd .
For this actual , lived , physically experienced reality of violence in the USA , there are no marches , no tearful emails from departmental heads , no support from McDonald ’ s and Wal-Mart .
For the History department , our silence is not a mere abrogation of our duty to shed light on the truth : it is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ black intraracial violence is the product of redlining , slavery , and other injustices is a largely historical claim .
It is for historians , therefore , to explain why Japanese internment or the massacre of European Jewry hasn ’ t led to equivalent rates of dysfunction and low SES performance among Japanese and Jewish Americans respectively .
Arab Americans have been viciously demonized since 9/11 , as have Chinese Americans more recently .
However , both groups outperform white Americans on nearly all SES indices – as do Nigerian Americans , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for historians to point out and discuss these anomalies .
However , no real discussion is possible in the current climate at our department .
The explanation is provided to us , disagreement with it is racist , and the job of historians is to further explore additional ways in which the explanation is additionally correct .
This is a mockery of the historical profession .
Most troublingly , our department appears to have been entirely captured by the interests of the Democratic National Convention , and the Democratic Party more broadly .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ what happens if you choose to donate to Black Lives Matter , an organization UCB History has explicitly promoted in its recent mailers .
All donations to the official BLM website are immediately redirected to ActBlue Charities , an organization primarily concerned with bankrolling election campaigns for Democrat candidates .
Donating to BLM today is to indirectly donate to Joe Biden ’ s 2020 campaign .
This is grotesque given the fact that the American cities with the worst rates of black-on-black violence and police-on-black violence are overwhelmingly Democrat-run .
Minneapolis itself has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for over five decades ; the ‘ systemic racism ’ there was built by successive Democrat administrations .
The patronizing and condescending attitudes of Democrat leaders towards the black community , exemplified by nearly every Biden statement on the black race , all but guarantee a perpetual state of misery , resentment , poverty , and the attendant grievance politics which are simultaneously annihilating American political discourse and black lives .
And yet , donating to BLM is bankrolling the election campaigns of men like Mayor Frey , who saw their cities devolve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ capture of a good-faith movement for necessary police reform , and of our department , by a political party .
Even worse , there are virtually no avenues for dissent in academic circles .
I refuse to serve the Party , and so should you .
The total alliance of major corporations involved in human exploitation with BLM should be a warning flag to us , and yet this damning evidence goes unnoticed , purposefully ignored , or perversely celebrated .
We are the useful idiots of the wealthiest classes , carrying water @ @ @ @ @ @ @ real , modern-day slavers .
Starbucks , an organisation using literal black slaves in its coffee plantation suppliers , is in favor of BLM .
Sony , an organisation using cobalt mined by yet more literal black slaves , many of whom are children , is in favor of BLM .
And so , apparently , are we .
The absence of counter-narrative enables this obscenity .
Fiat lux , indeed .
There also exists a large constituency of what can only be called ‘ race hustlers ’ : hucksters of all colors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ racial conflict to secure administrative jobs , charity management positions , academic jobs and advancement , or personal political entrepreneurship .
Given the direction our history department appears to be taking far from any commitment to truth , we can regard ourselves as a formative training institution for this brand of snake-oil salespeople .
Their activities are corrosive , demolishing any hope at harmonious racial coexistence in our nation and colonizing our political and institutional life .
Many of their voices are unironically segregationist .
MLK would likely be called an Uncle Tom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We are training leaders who intend , explicitly , to destroy one of the only truly successful ethnically diverse societies in modern history .
As the PRC , an ethnonationalist and aggressively racially chauvinist national polity with null immigration and no concept of jus solis increasingly presents itself as the global political alternative to the US , I ask you : Is this wise ?
Are we really doing the right thing ?
As a final point , our university and department has made multiple statements celebrating and eulogizing George Floyd .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ held a pregnant black woman at gunpoint .
He broke into her home with a gang of men and pointed a gun at her pregnant stomach .
He terrorized the women in his community .
He sired and abandoned multiple children , playing no part in their support or upbringing , failing one of the most basic tests of decency for a human being .
He was a drug-addict and sometime drug-dealer , a swindler who preyed upon his honest and hard-working neighbors .
And yet , the regents of UC and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ celebrating this violent criminal , elevating his name to virtual sainthood .
A man who hurt women .
A man who hurt black women .
With the full collaboration of the UCB history department , corporate America , most mainstream media outlets , and some of the wealthiest and most privileged opinion-shaping elites of the USA , he has become a culture hero , buried in a golden casket , his ( recognized ) family showered with gifts and praise .
Americans are being socially pressured into kneeling for this violent , abusive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are being coerced into identifying with George Floyd , the absolute worst specimen of our race and species .
I ’ m ashamed of my department .
I would say that I ’ m ashamed of both of you , but perhaps you agree with me , and are simply afraid , as I am , of the backlash of speaking the truth .
It ’ s hard to know what kneeling means , when you have to kneel to keep your job .
It shouldn ’ t affect the strength of my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I write as a person of color .
My family have been personally victimized by men like Floyd .
We are aware of the condescending depredations of the Democrat party against our race .
The humiliating assumption that we are too stupid to do STEM , that we need special help and lower requirements to get ahead in life , is richly familiar to us .
I sometimes wonder if it wouldn ’ t be easier to deal with open fascists , who at least would be straightforward in calling me a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ share my race .
The ever-present soft bigotry of low expectations and the permanent claim that the solutions to the plight of my people rest exclusively on the goodwill of whites rather than on our own hard work is psychologically devastating .
No other group in America is systematically demoralized in this way by its alleged allies .
A whole generation of black children are being taught that only by begging and weeping and screaming will they get handouts from guilt-ridden whites .
No message will more surely devastate their futures , especially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or indeed if America runs out of whites .
If this had been done to Japanese Americans , or Jewish Americans , or Chinese Americans , then Chinatown and Japantown would surely be no different to the roughest parts of Baltimore and East St. Louis today .
The History department of UCB is now an integral institutional promulgator of a destructive and denigrating fallacy about the black race .
I hope you appreciate the frustration behind this message .
I do not support BLM .
I do not support the Democrat grievance agenda @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of our department .
I do not support the Party co-opting my race , as Biden recently did in his disturbing interview , claiming that voting Democrat and being black are isomorphic .
I condemn the manner of George Floyd ’ s death and join you in calling for greater police accountability and police reform .
However , I will not pretend that George Floyd was anything other than a violent misogynist , a brutal man who met a predictably brutal end .
I also want to protect the practice of history .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and corporations .
Like us , she is free .

An anonymous history professor at U.C. Berkeley has penned an open letter against the current narratives of racial injustice underpinning the BLM movement and ongoing protests over the death of George Floyd.
Its authenticity was confirmed by Kentucky State University Assistant Professor of Political Science, Wilfred Reilley, who says he was sent a copy of the letter along with Stanford University economist Thomas Sowell.
Reprinted in its entirety below (emphasis ours) via @tracybeanz:
* * *
UC Berkeley History Professor’s Open Letter Against BLM, Police Brutality and Cultural Orthodoxy
Dear profs X, Y, Z
I am one of your colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley. I have met you both personally but do not know you closely, and am contacting you anonymously, with apologies. I am worried that writing this email publicly might lead to me losing my job, and likely all future jobs in my field.
In your recent departmental emails you mentioned our pledge to diversity, but I am increasingly alarmed by the absence of diversity of opinion on the topic of the recent protests and our community response to them.
In the extended links and resources you provided, I could not find a single instance of substantial counter-argument or alternative narrative to explain the under-representation of black individuals in academia or their over-representation in the criminal justice system. The explanation provided in your documentation, to the near exclusion of all others, is univariate: the problems of the black community are caused by whites, or, when whites are not physically present, by the infiltration of white supremacy and white systemic racism into American brains, souls, and institutions.
Many cogent objections to this thesis have been raised by sober voices, including from within the black community itself, such as Thomas Sowell and Wilfred Reilly. These people are not racists or ‘Uncle Toms’. They are intelligent scholars who reject a narrative that strips black people of agency and systematically externalizes the problems of the black community onto outsiders. Their view is entirely absent from the departmental and UCB-wide communiques.
The claim that the difficulties that the black community faces are entirely causally explained by exogenous factors in the form of white systemic racism, white supremacy, and other forms of white discrimination remains a problematic hypothesis that should be vigorously challenged by historians. Instead, it is being treated as an axiomatic and actionable truth without serious consideration of its profound flaws, or its worrying implication of total black impotence. This hypothesis is transforming our institution and our culture, without any space for dissent outside of a tightly policed, narrow discourse.
A counternarrative exists. If you have time, please consider examining some of the documents I attach at the end of this email. Overwhelmingly, the reasoning provided by BLM and allies is either primarily anecdotal (as in the case with the bulk of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ undeniably moving article) or it is transparently motivated. As an example of the latter problem, consider the proportion of black incarcerated Americans. This proportion is often used to characterize the criminal justice system as anti-black. However, if we use the precise same methodology, we would have to conclude that the criminal justice system is even more anti-male than it is anti-black.
Would we characterize criminal justice as a systemically misandrist conspiracy against innocent American men? I hope you see that this type of reasoning is flawed, and requires a significant suspension of our rational faculties. Black people are not incarcerated at higher rates than their involvement in violent crime would predict. This fact has been demonstrated multiple times across multiple jurisdictions in multiple countries.
And yet, I see my department uncritically reproducing a narrative that diminishes black agency in favor of a white-centric explanation that appeals to the department’s apparent desire to shoulder the ‘white man’s burden’ and to promote a narrative of white guilt.
If we claim that the criminal justice system is white-supremacist, why is it that Asian Americans, Indian Americans, and Nigerian Americans are incarcerated at vastly lower rates than white Americans? This is a funny sort of white supremacy. Even Jewish Americans are incarcerated less than gentile whites. I think it’s fair to say that your average white supremacist disapproves of Jews. And yet, these alleged white supremacists incarcerate gentiles at vastly higher rates than Jews. None of this is addressed in your literature. None of this is explained, beyond hand-waving and ad hominems. “Those are racist dogwhistles”. “The model minority myth is white supremacist”. “Only fascists talk about black-on-black crime”, ad nauseam.
These types of statements do not amount to counterarguments: they are simply arbitrary offensive classifications, intended to silence and oppress discourse. Any serious historian will recognize these for the silencing orthodoxy tactics they are, common to suppressive regimes, doctrines, and religions throughout time and space. They are intended to crush real diversity and permanently exile the culture of robust criticism from our department.
Increasingly, we are being called upon to comply and subscribe to BLM’s problematic view of history, and the department is being presented as unified on the matter. In particular, ethnic minorities are being aggressively marshaled into a single position. Any apparent unity is surely a function of the fact that dissent could almost certainly lead to expulsion or cancellation for those of us in a precarious position, which is no small number.
I personally don’t dare speak out against the BLM narrative, and with this barrage of alleged unity being mass-produced by the administration, tenured professoriat, the UC administration, corporate America, and the media, the punishment for dissent is a clear danger at a time of widespread economic vulnerability. I am certain that if my name were attached to this email, I would lose my job and all future jobs, even though I believe in and can justify every word I type.
The vast majority of violence visited on the black community is committed by black people. There are virtually no marches for these invisible victims, no public silences, no heartfelt letters from the UC regents, deans, and departmental heads. The message is clear: Black lives only matter when whites take them. Black violence is expected and insoluble, while white violence requires explanation and demands solution. Please look into your hearts and see how monstrously bigoted this formulation truly is.
No discussion is permitted for nonblack victims of black violence, who proportionally outnumber black victims of nonblack violence. This is especially bitter in the Bay Area, where Asian victimization by black assailants has reached epidemic proportions, to the point that the SF police chief has advised Asians to stop hanging good-luck charms on their doors, as this attracts the attention of (overwhelmingly black) home invaders. Home invaders like George Floyd. For this actual, lived, physically experienced reality of violence in the USA, there are no marches, no tearful emails from departmental heads, no support from McDonald’s and Wal-Mart. For the History department, our silence is not a mere abrogation of our duty to shed light on the truth: it is a rejection of it.
The claim that black intraracial violence is the product of redlining, slavery, and other injustices is a largely historical claim. It is for historians, therefore, to explain why Japanese internment or the massacre of European Jewry hasn’t led to equivalent rates of dysfunction and low SES performance among Japanese and Jewish Americans respectively. Arab Americans have been viciously demonized since 9/11, as have Chinese Americans more recently. However, both groups outperform white Americans on nearly all SES indices – as do Nigerian Americans, who incidentally have black skin. It is for historians to point out and discuss these anomalies. However, no real discussion is possible in the current climate at our department. The explanation is provided to us, disagreement with it is racist, and the job of historians is to further explore additional ways in which the explanation is additionally correct. This is a mockery of the historical profession.
Most troublingly, our department appears to have been entirely captured by the interests of the Democratic National Convention, and the Democratic Party more broadly. To explain what I mean, consider what happens if you choose to donate to Black Lives Matter, an organization UCB History has explicitly promoted in its recent mailers. All donations to the official BLM website are immediately redirected to ActBlue Charities, an organization primarily concerned with bankrolling election campaigns for Democrat candidates. Donating to BLM today is to indirectly donate to Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign. This is grotesque given the fact that the American cities with the worst rates of black-on-black violence and police-on-black violence are overwhelmingly Democrat-run. Minneapolis itself has been entirely in the hands of Democrats for over five decades; the ‘systemic racism’ there was built by successive Democrat administrations.
The patronizing and condescending attitudes of Democrat leaders towards the black community, exemplified by nearly every Biden statement on the black race, all but guarantee a perpetual state of misery, resentment, poverty, and the attendant grievance politics which are simultaneously annihilating American political discourse and black lives. And yet, donating to BLM is bankrolling the election campaigns of men like Mayor Frey, who saw their cities devolve into violence. This is a grotesque capture of a good-faith movement for necessary police reform, and of our department, by a political party. Even worse, there are virtually no avenues for dissent in academic circles . I refuse to serve the Party, and so should you.
The total alliance of major corporations involved in human exploitation with BLM should be a warning flag to us, and yet this damning evidence goes unnoticed, purposefully ignored, or perversely celebrated. We are the useful idiots of the wealthiest classes, carrying water for Jeff Bezos and other actual, real, modern-day slavers. Starbucks, an organisation using literal black slaves in its coffee plantation suppliers, is in favor of BLM. Sony, an organisation using cobalt mined by yet more literal black slaves, many of whom are children, is in favor of BLM. And so, apparently, are we. The absence of counter-narrative enables this obscenity. Fiat lux, indeed.
There also exists a large constituency of what can only be called ‘race hustlers’: hucksters of all colors who benefit from stoking the fires of racial conflict to secure administrative jobs, charity management positions, academic jobs and advancement, or personal political entrepreneurship.
Given the direction our history department appears to be taking far from any commitment to truth, we can regard ourselves as a formative training institution for this brand of snake-oil salespeople. Their activities are corrosive, demolishing any hope at harmonious racial coexistence in our nation and colonizing our political and institutional life. Many of their voices are unironically segregationist.
MLK would likely be called an Uncle Tom if he spoke on our campus today. We are training leaders who intend, explicitly, to destroy one of the only truly successful ethnically diverse societies in modern history. As the PRC, an ethnonationalist and aggressively racially chauvinist national polity with null immigration and no concept of jus solis increasingly presents itself as the global political alternative to the US, I ask you: Is this wise? Are we really doing the right thing?
As a final point, our university and department has made multiple statements celebrating and eulogizing George Floyd. Floyd was a multiple felon who once held a pregnant black woman at gunpoint. He broke into her home with a gang of men and pointed a gun at her pregnant stomach. He terrorized the women in his community. He sired and abandoned multiple children, playing no part in their support or upbringing, failing one of the most basic tests of decency for a human being. He was a drug-addict and sometime drug-dealer, a swindler who preyed upon his honest and hard-working neighbors.
And yet, the regents of UC and the historians of the UCB History department are celebrating this violent criminal, elevating his name to virtual sainthood. A man who hurt women. A man who hurt black women. With the full collaboration of the UCB history department, corporate America, most mainstream media outlets, and some of the wealthiest and most privileged opinion-shaping elites of the USA, he has become a culture hero, buried in a golden casket, his (recognized) family showered with gifts and praise. Americans are being socially pressured into kneeling for this violent, abusive misogynist . A generation of black men are being coerced into identifying with George Floyd, the absolute worst specimen of our race and species.
I’m ashamed of my department. I would say that I’m ashamed of both of you, but perhaps you agree with me, and are simply afraid, as I am, of the backlash of speaking the truth. It’s hard to know what kneeling means, when you have to kneel to keep your job.
It shouldn’t affect the strength of my argument above, but for the record, I write as a person of color. My family have been personally victimized by men like Floyd. We are aware of the condescending depredations of the Democrat party against our race. The humiliating assumption that we are too stupid to do STEM, that we need special help and lower requirements to get ahead in life, is richly familiar to us. I sometimes wonder if it wouldn’t be easier to deal with open fascists, who at least would be straightforward in calling me a subhuman, and who are unlikely to share my race.
The ever-present soft bigotry of low expectations and the permanent claim that the solutions to the plight of my people rest exclusively on the goodwill of whites rather than on our own hard work is psychologically devastating. No other group in America is systematically demoralized in this way by its alleged allies. A whole generation of black children are being taught that only by begging and weeping and screaming will they get handouts from guilt-ridden whites.
No message will more surely devastate their futures, especially if whites run out of guilt, or indeed if America runs out of whites.

The History department of UCB is now an integral institutional promulgator of a destructive and denigrating fallacy about the black race.
I hope you appreciate the frustration behind this message. I do not support BLM. I do not support the Democrat grievance agenda and the Party’s uncontested capture of our department. I do not support the Party co-opting my race, as Biden recently did in his disturbing interview, claiming that voting Democrat and being black are isomorphic. I condemn the manner of George Floyd’s death and join you in calling for greater police accountability and police reform. However, I will not pretend that George Floyd was anything other than a violent misogynist, a brutal man who met a predictably brutal end.
I also want to protect the practice of history. Cleo is no grovelling handmaiden to politicians and corporations. Like us, she is free.
