A New York Times analysis of the most recent discipline data from the Education Department found that Black girls are over five times more likely than white girls to be suspended at least once from school , seven times more likely to receive multiple out-of-school suspensions than white girls and three times more likely to receive referrals to law enforcement .

From the New York Times news section:
‘A Battle for the Souls of Black Girls’ Discipline disparities between Black and white boys have driven reform efforts for years. But Black girls are arguably the most at-risk student group in the United States. By Erica L. Green, Mark Walker and Eliza Shapiro
Oct. 1, 2020 … The disproportionate discipline rates of Black boys have long dominated discussions about the harmful effects of punitive discipline policies, but recent high-profile cases have begun to reframe the debate around the plight of Black girls. … Just this week, the Common Application for colleges and universities cited disproportionate discipline rates for Black girls in its decision to stop asking students to report whether they had been subject to disciplinary action. Statistically, Black boys have led the country in suspensions, expulsions and school arrests, and the disparities between them and white boys have been a catalyst for national movements for change. But Black girls’ discipline rates are not far behind those of Black boys; and in several categories, such as suspensions and law enforcement referrals, the disparities between Black and white girls eclipse those between Black and white boys.
Obviously, Black girls behave better than white girls: that’s why we reverently capitalize the word Black, unlike those white hellions.
It’s too bad America doesn’t have any other racial groups besides Black and white that could help us put white vs. Black comparisons into perspective. Imagine if there were 20 million people from Asia in the United States. Think of everything we could learn from having another race with their own discipline statistics besides just Blacks and whites. But of course there are no Asians in the U.S., so this immense article never mentions “Asians” once.
A New York Times analysis of the most recent discipline data from the Education Department found that Black girls are over five times more likely than white girls to be suspended at least once from school, seven times more likely to receive multiple out-of-school suspensions than white girls and three times more likely to receive referrals to law enforcement. Black boys experienced lower rates of the same punishments compared with white boys. In New York City, Black girls in elementary and middle school were about 11 times more likely to be suspended than their white peers in 2017, according to a report from the Education Trust-New York, a research and advocacy group. In Iowa, Black girls were nine times more likely to be arrested at school than white girls, according to a state-by-state analysis conducted by the American Civil Liberties Union.
When everybody knows that Iowa whites are horribly behaved.
Granted, there used to be scholars like Charles Murray who would suggest that the Occam’s razor explanation for why statistics purport that blacks behave worse on average on some metrics is because blacks do behave worse on average on those metrics. But the Murrays have been shoved out of the Overton Window, so now we know that the only possible remaining explanation for statistical differences is that everybody hallucinates that blacks behave worse on average, so they then act on this colossal racist hallucination.
… Sophia Lusala, a junior at Iowa City High School, said she often felt the effects of the “loud, sassy, Black girl” stereotype. In math class last year, when a teacher said he would not review a certain lesson, she asked why — and landed in the hallway “to calm down,” she said. “We’ve been in school growing our minds so that we can challenge things,” she said. “But when we do so, we’re punished for it.” Black girls are viewed by educators as more suspicious, mature, provocative and aggressive than their white peers, said Rebecca Epstein, the executive director of the Georgetown Law Center on Poverty and Inequality and an author of the first robust study of “adultification bias” against Black girls. The study found that Black girls as young as 5 were viewed by adults as less innocent than white girls. “Developmentally, Black girls and white girls are the same — regardless of any differences in outward presentation,” she said.
Seriously, there is a difference in average age between black and white girls of first menstruation:
The sample, drawn from the US National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth Child-Mother file, consisted of 2337 girls born between 1978 and 1998. Mean age of menarche in months was 144 for African-American girls and 150 for whites.
So, that’s not a huge difference, but it exists. Back to the NYT:
…In 2014, President Barack Obama announced a national initiative called My Brother’s Keeper to improve the lives of young Black men. Motivated in part by the killing of Trayvon Martin in 2012, Mr. Obama said the initiative was an effort to “change the statistics — not just for the sake of the young men and boys, but for the sake of America’s future.” Among the program’s goals: school discipline reform.
I suspect that deep down, what Obama would have preferred was to change the statistics for the better by improving the behavior of black youths. But, instead, his Administration issued orders telling local school districts to change the statistics by, in effect, lowering standards of behavior for black boys or face federal interventions over putative racism.
Not surprisingly, the black murder rate has gone up quite a bit between 2014 and 2020.
A few months later, Kimberlé Crenshaw, a professor and scholar of race theory, wrote an opinion article titled “The Girls Obama Forgot.” She also published a report that concluded Black girls were all but ignored by policymakers, funders and researchers in discipline discussions. An NAACP Legal Defense Fund report in 2014 said inattention to Black girls had “fueled the assumption that all girls are doing fine in school,” though they also sustained academic and economic setbacks. An issues brief in March 2014 by the Education Department concluded that “while boys receive more than two out of three suspensions
Due, presumably, to Systemic Sexism
Black girls are suspended at higher rates” than “girls of any other race or ethnicity and most boys.” But scholars say that Black girls are still seen as a footnote. “The attitude is: Everything starts with boys. Paint it pink, and it works for girls,” Ms. Epstein said. As the nation’s political leadership has grown more diverse, that may be changing. Last year, Representative Ayanna S. Pressley, Democrat of Massachusetts, introduced a bill that targeted the disproportionate discipline rates of Black students, highlighting girls. Senator Kamala Harris of California, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, tweeted in 2017, “It’s time to address the underlying issues in our education system that limit Black girls’ opportunities before they even reach college.” LaTasha DeLoach has been working for years through the Iowa-based organizations G!World and Sankofa Outreach Connection to dismantle the perception that Black girls are not as endangered by systemic racism as boys. “These are slave narratives,” she said. “Black men were publicly hanged, while Black women were raped in secret. This tendency to hide Black women’s pain dates back years.” In 2015, when Ms. DeLoach was elected as the first Black woman to serve on the Iowa City Community School Board in 30 years, she began raising alarms about Black girls’ discipline rates. The data showed that 75 percent of Black female discipline referrals were for disruption, compared with 19 percent for white girls; 69 percent were for defiance, insubordination or noncompliance, compared with 19 percent for white girls. “When you walk into a school here and you’re a Black girl, they’re just waiting for you to open your mouth,” Ms. DeLoach said. The Iowa City Community School District said in a statement that it was “committed to identifying, understanding and rectifying disproportionality within our schools.”
Why is Iowa City so different? I mean, other than its statistics aren’t very different from every place else in the country that isn’t putting a major thumb on the scales?
… Cpl. Betty Covington of the Baltimore City School Police Department agrees. In Baltimore, Black girls were about four times more likely than white girls to get suspended, and more than twice as likely as white girls to get expelled in the 2016-2017 school year, according to a 2018 report by the N.A.A.C.P.
How many white girls go to public school in Baltimore City, anyway?
And how white are the teachers and administrators in Baltimore public schools?
Corporal Covington “tells us that nobody can say we don’t have the magic,” Kaia Jones said. “We threaten society because we’re the latest trendsetters, we don’t let nobody walk over us, and people want to be like us. Black girls go through the most. But it’s because we’re just so powerful.” … The long-term trauma for Black girls from disproportionate school discipline is little understood, experts say.
Their self-esteems must be just shattered.

vdare--2020-10-02--Surprise, Surprise: FBI Can't Find Any Evidence Althea Bernstein Was Racistly Set On Fire By Four Cl

Surprise, Surprise: FBI Can't Find Any Evidence Althea Bernstein Was Racistly Set On Fire By Four Classic Wisconsin Fraternity Boys

Earlier : Steve Sailer Right Again !
Althea Bernstein Libel Rejected By Police , Feds : `` No Evidence Biracial Madison Woman Was Attacked '' As I pointed out back on July 1 , Althea Bernstein ’ s hate hoax was one of the most obvious yet , but it roped in a lot of media and the stupider celebrities such as Princess Markle or whatever her name is .
From Wisconsin State-Journal : Madison police announced Friday they have not been able to corroborate allegations made by a biracial Monona woman that she was burned by four white men @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was initially reported as a hate crime and garnered national and international attention .
Althea Bernstein , 18 , told police someone sprayed lighter fluid on her and set her on fire in the early morning hours of June 24 after one of the men yelled a racial epithet .
But on Friday , the police department said it was closing the case because “ after an exhaustive probe , detectives were unable to corroborate or locate evidence consistent with what was reported.
” The case was also investigated by the FBI and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Department of Justice , and in its own statement Friday , the U.S. Attorney ’ s Office for the Western District of Wisconsin said that “ after reviewing all available evidence , authorities could not establish that the attack , as alleged by the complainant , had occurred.
” Bernstein ’ s family said in a statement that they appreciated “ the detailed investigative efforts by all involved in this case , ” asked for privacy and said they would not be granting interviews .
“ Althea ’ s injuries are healing and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ invaluable in that regard , ” they said .
Bernstein was interviewed on “ Good Morning America ” two days after she reported the incident , and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry of the British royal family reached out to her as well .
Madison and Dane County officials had also condemned the alleged attack , with Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway calling it “ a horrifying and absolutely unacceptable crime that … may have been a premeditated crime targeted toward people of color.
” Madison Area Crime Stoppers and the California-based Mizel Family Foundation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a combined $ 10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators .
But there have been questions about the veracity of the woman ’ s report because , unlike in other crimes that occur Downtown , police never released surveillance camera images of the incident or possible suspects in an attempt to find the perpetrators .
Very little of the public parts of Downtown are hidden from the views provided by dozens of city-owned cameras and other private surveillance cameras police have access to .
Despite the investigation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ department is not recommending Bernstein be charged with obstructing an officer , which can apply in cases in which a person makes a false police report .
The U.S. Attorney ’ s office was not immediately available for comment , but Wahl said he doubted it would pursue charges against Bernstein , either .
Wahl said there is a difference between actively trying to deceive law enforcement and law enforcement not being able to corroborate a report of a crime , and he said Bernstein and her family have been cooperative throughout the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this 18-year-old woman carried out a hate crime by filing a false police report accusing another race of carrying out a hate crime against her .
There ’ s enormous evidence on the web that her lies exacerbated hatred toward a different race than hers .
Further , after lying low for most of the summer , she reiterated her libel in late August .
From the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram : One of the demonstrators was Althea Bernstein , the 18-year-old Black woman who was lit on fire as she sat in her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the light to change in June .
Bernstein told police a group of white men squirted lighter fluid in her face and ignited it .
Police have released little information about the attack .
Bernstein said she only recently returned downtown to protest and that it felt empowering , the State Journal reported .
“ It ’ s been mentally exhausting .
There ’ s good days and bad days , ” Bernstein told the crowd .
“ I realized I need to be down here .
I ’ m an EMT , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Does my skin color offend you ?
Does my success scare you ?
Does the fact that I ’ m a Black woman make you worried that change in going to happen ?
” The deal I would have offered before she went back to promoting herself was : no charges if she makes a public apology and calls for greater awareness of the prevalence and viciousness of anti-white hate hoaxes like her own .
But now … throw the book at her .
And … how much did this 3-month-long investigation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ We were unable to corroborate ( Bernstein ’ s story ) , but we are not speculating on what did and did not happen , ” he said .
He also confirmed that Bernstein ’ s injuries were consistent with being burned , and said she has offered no “ alternative explanation ” for what happened to her .
Police noted that Bernstein has been consistent in her description of the attack to friends and family , her phone ’ s GPS locations matched up with what she reported to police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an intent to deceive law enforcement or the public .
Bernstein told police she was driving her brother ’ s 2007 Hyundai Elantra through Downtown following a date when she stopped at a stoplight , possibly on West Gorham Street at State Street , at around 1 a.m. June 24 and was approached by four white men , one of whom yelled a racial epithet .
One of the men squirted her with lighter fluid through her open driver ’ s side window and then threw a lit lighter or match at her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and neck on fire before she patted out the flames .
Her family later released photos of her showing burns to her face .

Earlier: Steve Sailer Right Again! Althea Bernstein Libel Rejected By Police, Feds: "No Evidence Biracial Madison Woman Was Attacked"
As I pointed out back on July 1, Althea Bernstein’s hate hoax was one of the most obvious yet, but it roped in a lot of media and the stupider celebrities such as Princess Markle or whatever her name is. From Wisconsin State-Journal:
Madison police, federal law enforcement find no evidence biracial woman was attacked
Chris Rickert | Wisconsin State Journal 4 hrs ago Madison police announced Friday they have not been able to corroborate allegations made by a biracial Monona woman that she was burned by four white men in Downtown Madison in June in what was initially reported as a hate crime and garnered national and international attention. Althea Bernstein, 18, told police someone sprayed lighter fluid on her and set her on fire in the early morning hours of June 24 after one of the men yelled a racial epithet. But on Friday, the police department said it was closing the case because “after an exhaustive probe, detectives were unable to corroborate or locate evidence consistent with what was reported.” The case was also investigated by the FBI and the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, and in its own statement Friday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Wisconsin said that “after reviewing all available evidence, authorities could not establish that the attack, as alleged by the complainant, had occurred.” Bernstein’s family said in a statement that they appreciated “the detailed investigative efforts by all involved in this case,” asked for privacy and said they would not be granting interviews. “Althea’s injuries are healing and the support of our community has been invaluable in that regard,” they said. Bernstein was interviewed on “Good Morning America” two days after she reported the incident, and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry of the British royal family reached out to her as well. Madison and Dane County officials had also condemned the alleged attack, with Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway calling it “a horrifying and absolutely unacceptable crime that … may have been a premeditated crime targeted toward people of color.” Madison Area Crime Stoppers and the California-based Mizel Family Foundation and Center for Combating Antisemitism had offered a combined $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators. But there have been questions about the veracity of the woman’s report because, unlike in other crimes that occur Downtown, police never released surveillance camera images of the incident or possible suspects in an attempt to find the perpetrators. Very little of the public parts of Downtown are hidden from the views provided by dozens of city-owned cameras and other private surveillance cameras police have access to. Despite the investigation’s findings, Wahl said his department is not recommending Bernstein be charged with obstructing an officer, which can apply in cases in which a person makes a false police report. The U.S. Attorney’s office was not immediately available for comment, but Wahl said he doubted it would pursue charges against Bernstein, either. Wahl said there is a difference between actively trying to deceive law enforcement and law enforcement not being able to corroborate a report of a crime, and he said Bernstein and her family have been cooperative throughout the investigation.
Oh, come on, this 18-year-old woman carried out a hate crime by filing a false police report accusing another race of carrying out a hate crime against her. There’s enormous evidence on the web that her lies exacerbated hatred toward a different race than hers.
Further, after lying low for most of the summer, she reiterated her libel in late August. From the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram:
One of the demonstrators was Althea Bernstein, the 18-year-old Black woman who was lit on fire as she sat in her car at a Madison intersection waiting for the light to change in June. Bernstein told police a group of white men squirted lighter fluid in her face and ignited it. Police have released little information about the attack. Bernstein said she only recently returned downtown to protest and that it felt empowering, the State Journal reported. “It’s been mentally exhausting. There’s good days and bad days,” Bernstein told the crowd. “I realized I need to be down here. I’m an EMT, I’m here for medical service. Does my skin color offend you? Does my success scare you? Does the fact that I’m a Black woman make you worried that change in going to happen?”
The deal I would have offered before she went back to promoting herself was: no charges if she makes a public apology and calls for greater awareness of the prevalence and viciousness of anti-white hate hoaxes like her own.
But now … throw the book at her.
And … how much did this 3-month-long investigation cost? She should pay it back.
Back to State-Journal:
“We were unable to corroborate (Bernstein’s story), but we are not speculating on what did and did not happen,” he said. He also confirmed that Bernstein’s injuries were consistent with being burned, and said she has offered no “alternative explanation” for what happened to her. Police noted that Bernstein has been consistent in her description of the attack to friends and family, her phone’s GPS locations matched up with what she reported to police and her phone messages did not indicate an intent to deceive law enforcement or the public. Bernstein told police she was driving her brother’s 2007 Hyundai Elantra through Downtown following a date when she stopped at a stoplight, possibly on West Gorham Street at State Street, at around 1 a.m. June 24 and was approached by four white men, one of whom yelled a racial epithet. One of the men squirted her with lighter fluid through her open driver’s side window and then threw a lit lighter or match at her, she said, setting her face and neck on fire before she patted out the flames. Her family later released photos of her showing burns to her face. She described the men as looking like “frat boys” — two of whom were wearing “floral shirts” and blue jeans and two of whom were in all black and wearing masks. The man who allegedly sprayed her was wearing a “salmon-colored” floral shirt, she told police. An exhaustive search of video from city- and privately owned surveillance cameras, however, turned up no evidence of the attack, and the investigation identified a number inconsistencies in Bernstein’s story. A surveillance camera at West Gorham and State. for example, captured images of the Elantra at 12:44 a.m. but nothing to substantiate the alleged attack. … A review of 17 city cameras in the Downtown area from 12:15 a.m. to 1:15 a.m. found no groups of white males matching Bernstein’s descriptions. Police also did not find any fire damage in the Elantra, according to police reports, and a dog trained to sniff out accelerants did not find evidence of them of in the car. … A forensic analysis of the shirt she was wearing at the time of the attack did turn up evidence of a “medium petroleum distillate,” such as charcoal lighter fluid, according to the police investigation. But no such evidence was found on the shorts she was wearing at the time, nor on swabs taken of the vehicle. The police investigation also found evidence that Bernstein had her window rolled up at the time of the alleged attack and hadn’t stopped at stoplights where it might have occurred. It also determined she had been driving in a different lane than she told police and was uncertain about where exactly the incident occurred. In addition to 157 pages of reports in the case, police released a timeline of the events of the night in the form of a nearly three-minute-long video and 23-page report. Investigators told the Bernstein family’s attorney that “the attack, as Bernstein had described it, had not occurred,” according to police reports, but also told her that there was “no evidence that Bernstein had colluded with anyone to make a false report or that there was any mal-intent or pre-planning that occurred in regards to Bernstein’s statement to police.” … The alleged attack on Bernstein happened on the same night police were dealing with violent Black Lives Matter protests in the Downtown in which protesters tore down two statues on the Capitol Square, including one of a Union Civil War soldier and abolitionist, and threw a Molotov cocktail through a window of the City-County Building, starting a small fire. Bernstein told police she was attacked around 1 a.m., or about 20 minutes after the CCB was firebombed, but Wahl said it was “pretty clear” from the investigation that Bernstein was neither a perpetrator nor a victim in the CCB attack.
A rioter was videoed squirting lighter fluid on the County Jail. Are we supposed to believe that the lighter fluid that got on her in downtown Madison around the time of the arson attack on the CCB building was a completely unrelated lighter fluid?
There’s probably not enough evidence to charge her with arson, but the most plausible explanation is that some of the BLM/Antifa rioters’ lighter fluid got on her somehow, and she made up her racist libel to distract from that.
The timeline released by police tracks Bernstein’s movements and her vehicle for about two and a half hours beginning around 12:15 a.m., ending with what appears to be a redacted photo of Bernstein in a hospital gown around 3 a.m. at the UW Hospital emergency room on the Near West Side. According to the timeline and electronic messages reviewed by police, Bernstein first mentions the alleged attack while at home in Monona at 1:24 a.m. “Some (expletive) up (expletive) just happened,” she writes in a text to Nick Livingston, whom Bernstein had been on the date with earlier in the evening. “Someone on state street tried to set me on fire … yelled the n word and threw beer and a lighter at me … its still burning my skin … it was a group of white guys.”
Impunity …

01—Intro. And Radio Derb is on the air! Greetings, listeners. This is your grimly genial host John Derbyshire with news of the hour.
Four weeks this coming Tuesday to voting day, ladies and gents. Then we look set for another four weeks, at least, of wrangling over vote counts. A depressing prospect; and I'll admit honestly, I'm depressed.
My mood wasn't improved by Tuesday's Presidential candidates debate. Why would it have been? Hoo boy. Well, let me start with that.
[Permalink]
02—Second-rate debate. Yes, I watched Tuesday's Presidential debate; and yes, I'm going to be sniffy and snobbish about what a chore it was to sit through the wretched thing.
In my forty years of hanging around on the fringes of the worlds of power and influence, I have, a few times, found myself in a roomful of real movers and shakers with seriously impressive job titles in government or the media. None of those events included an acting U.S. President, although one of them did include an acting U.S. Vice President.
It was always the case at some point, as the event wore on and the cigars burned low and the ice diminished in its bucket, it was always the case at some point that I found myself thinking: "These guys aren't very smart."
I know from smart. I've hobnobbed with very seriously smart people: world-famous physicists and Fields Medal winners; also with prize-winning historians and other luminaries of the academic humanities. I know from smart. The people who run our public affairs are, with very occasional exceptions, not very smart. Trust me on this.
And that was the thought that kept intruding as I watched Tuesday night's debate. Not: "What a loathsome reptile that one is!" Nor: "What on earth does the damn fool mean by that?" Only, time and again, the thought: "What a bunch of second-raters."
One of George Bernard Shaw's many indictments of democracy went something like: "Democracy is the system where twenty million people are asked to choose the bravest, wisest, and best among them to be their leader, and they choose Stanley Baldwin." End quote.
That was actually an unfair slight against Baldwin, who was an intelligent and capable man. Writing about Baldwin a few months ago, I called him "Britain's Coolidge." Like Coolidge, however, Baldwin was regarded as something of a nonentity by the intelligentsia of his time—especially by those, like Shaw, who were of the opposite political persuasion.
Anyway, we take Shaw's point. Democracy does not bring forward the brightest and best. For sure it hasn't this year in these United States. For an hour and a half there on Tuesday I watched three guys talking, none of whom said anything interesting or original; none of whom, to the best of my recollection, has ever said anything interesting or original.
Has our public sphere always been this mediocre? Shaw plainly thought it was so a hundred years ago; but I'd swear I can remember better times. Richard Nixon was well-read and sometimes said things that made you think. Margaret Thatcher spoke good sense in properly grammatical sentences. Ronald Reagan could make us laugh … intentionally, I mean.
Perhaps these things go in cycles. Perhaps twenty years from now we'll be back to good sense, good manners, and wit. We can hope.
Where Tuesday night's debate is concerned, I'm definitely talking about all three people in the room. I can't say I've ever paid much attention to Chris Wallace before; but he came across on Tuesday as a dim bulb with a head full of ignorant flapdoodle gathered from the New York Times editorial columns.
I mean, really: Critical Race Theory is "racial sensitivity training"? Excuse me? That's up there with whoever it was that described Mao Tse-tung as "an agrarian reformer."
Are you getting that I was deeply unimpressed by the debate? I was.
"This world," said a wise man three hundred years ago, "is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel." In my younger days, when my mind was sharper, I might have laughed at Tuesday night's debate as comedy. Now—and sure, you can put it down to twilight-years geezerdom if you like, I don't care—now I am more inclined to weep.

03—No bump for Trump. What did the debate deliver in terms of practical political results, though? How many leaning-to-Trump voters came away from it leaning to Biden, and vice versa?
The analysts have of course been crunching poll numbers, to some approximate conclusions. Ipsos, one of the better outfits, concluded that, quote:
Biden may have gained a little support, but many still think Trump has a good chance of winning.
End quote, with italics on the word "little" there. That seems to have been the pollsters' consensus.
Drilling down in the numbers, A YouGov poll for CBS News found that 92 percent of Democrats who watched say that their man won the debate, but only 82 percent of Republicans thought their guy did. That sounds plausible to me. Trump was a bit too determined to make himself the dominant male in the room. That works up to a point, but beyond that point sympathy for the underdog takes over.
On voting intentions, a post-debate poll reported by U.S. News & World Report on Thursday showed 54 percent of respondents supporting Biden to 41 percent for Trump. I don't know how much of an outlier that is, but it sure doesn't indicate a debate bump for the President.
Trump also blew chances to make real substantive points in the debate. He didn't even mention immigration, the one topic above all others that won him the Presidency.
And again Biden unblushingly quoted the "fine people" hoax at us. The President should have jumped all over that and torn it to shreds, quoting the words he actually spoke at Charlottesville that day:
[Clip of Trump speaking: You had some very bad people in that group; but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides … [pips] … You had people—and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally …]
Trump should have those words that he actually spoke as an audio file ready to hand on his cell phone and just play it into the mike. That would be smart.
I have that sound clip in a folder on my computer, ready for when it comes up, which it keeps doing. Why does it keep coming up? Why haven't Trump and his people killed the "fine people" hoax stone dead by now?
Trump must have some variety of smarts to have succeeded as well as he has in life, but it's not the political variety.
Even that is more than you can say about Joe Biden. What on earth has kept this bumbling buffoon at the top of the greasy poll all these decades? What have the voters been smoking down there in Delaware?
When Barack Obama tapped Joe for Vice President, the joke going round was that it was for insurance against assassination. Nobody would be crazy enough to off Obama, knowing it would put Biden in the White House.
Bad taste humor? Sure: but I laughed at the time along with everyone else—well, everyone I was hanging out with. Now, watching Joe dithering his way through that debate, I'm not so sure it was a joke.

04—The Democracy Balloon. On the upside of this not-very-penetrating commentary on the debates that I'm producing here, preparing for it at least got me riffling through the six full pages of George Bernard Shaw quotes at brainyquote.com. The old commie was very quotable. Sample:
Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.
End quote. That's not bad. I like this one, too, quote:
Few people think more than two or three times a year; I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week.
End quote.
Here's another one on democracy that sticks in the mind somehow … Well, it's been stuck in mine for many years. Longish quote.
I am going to ask you to begin our study of Democracy by considering it first as a big balloon, filled with gas or hot air, and sent up so that you shall be kept looking up at the sky whilst other people are picking your pockets. When the balloon comes down to earth every five years or so you are invited to get into the basket if you can throw out one of the people who are sitting tightly in it; but as you can afford neither the time nor the money, and there are forty millions of you and hardly room for six hundred in the basket, the balloon goes up again with much the same lot in it and leaves you where you were before.
End quote.
I can't think of much else to say about Tuesday's debate, so to fill out this segment I'll just leave you with a Trivial Pursuit question you can try out at your next dinner party.
Question: Only two people have ever been awarded both a Nobel Prize and an Oscar. Can you name them?

05—What is white supremacy? In Tuesday's debate—yeah, I'm not quite through yet—in the debate Chris Wallace asked the President whether he was willing to condemn white supremacists and militia groups.
Trump replied, quote: "Sure, I'm willing to do that." Wallace and Biden badgered him about it, though. Trump fought back, challenging them to come up with a name, pointing out the while, what of course is true, that all the violence and disorder we've been seeing these past weeks has been driven by leftist mobs like Antifa and BLM.
The Biden-Wallace team came up at last with Proud Boys, a multiracial group of young men trying to offer some lawful resistance to the anarchists. If the Proud Boys have torched any police stations, looted any Target stores, pulled down any statues, dragged any people from their cars, or gone through any auto dealer parking lots smashing all the windows, I missed it.
That's the gross imbalance, the fake moral equivalence that we get from all mainstream media types, Chris Wallace no exception. I'm glad the President spoke forthrightly about it.
What is white supremacy, anyway? I am personally acquainted with several people who the media have called "white supremacist," including the proprietor of this website. None of them wants to be supreme over anyone else. What they mostly want is to be left alone, and for the demography of their nations to be left alone, to not be transformed by mass immigration. You can approve of that or disapprove of it, but it has nothing to do with supremacy.
I understand of course that white supremacy was once a thing in the U.S.A. There was a system of social rules, and in some places actual laws, to keep black Americans subordinate to whites. That you can fairly call "white supremacy."
It's long gone, though, and about as likely to come back as barber-shop quartets or three-pack-a-day cigarette habits. In fact we haven't just corrected ourselves; we've over-shot the correction mark, into a zone where blacks enjoy favors and privileges not available to nonblacks—a state of affairs you could fairly call "black supremacy."
It's true that these decades of effort haven't brought about equality of outcomes by race: but given all we've done, the decades we've spent doing it, the jurisprudence we've overturned, the laws we've passed, the money we've spent, the goodwill we've gushed, the fair conclusion has to be that equal outcomes by race are not possible. The races are too different.
That's a thought that too many people can't think, though; so they burble on vapidly about "white supremacy" and "privilege" and "militias" when the desire for white supremacy is long gone, the privilege all belongs to affirmative-action hires and black criminals released without bail, and militias nationwide add up to a few dozen fantasists playing weekend games in the woods.
When all is said and done, there was a real difference intermittently visible in Tuesday night's debate, a difference in outlook and mentation. President Trump, with all his faults, has his feet on the ground, is willing to engage with true facts about the world.
Wallace and Biden, and all the Establishment folk behind them, are floating up in the clouds, detached from reality. Society, in their minds, is shaped not by facts of human biology and psychology, but by invisible vapors and magical influences: "privilege," "racism," "supremacy."
None of those is a real thing. Our ruling classes are not interested in real things, except when those things help to reinforce their own power.

06—Is meritocracy slipping away? Speaking of Critical Race Theory, I note that one of the things Critical Race Theorists teach to the captive audiences herded and corraled for them by corporate HR departments, college Residential Advisors, and Assistants to the Under-Secretary for Diversity and Inclusion in government departments, one of those things is, that meritocracy is a form of oppression.
In that, at least, the Critical Race Theorists may be on to something. Meritocracy is a minor hobby-horse of mine, that I've returned to several times on these podcasts—six times, when I did a word-search on the archives.
The reason I'm a bit obsessive about it is chronological. Michael Young's book The Rise of the Meritocracy came out in 1958. By the time I went up to college five years later, everyone in England with any claim to be a thinking person was assumed to have read the book and to have an opinion about it.
To this day I don't believe the issues raised by Michael Young in his book have really been confronted, including the central issue of whether a society based on meritocracy can be stable. (Michael Young thought it couldn't.)
In my Diary for February 2018, marking the sixtieth anniversary of the book's publication, I quoted what Bertrand Russell wrote about the philosopher David Hume, quote from Russell:
To refute him has been, ever since he wrote, a favorite pastime among metaphysicians. For my part, I find none of their refutations convincing; nevertheless, I cannot but hope that something less sceptical than Hume's system may be discoverable.
End quote.
That, I said, is how I feel about The Rise of the Meritocracy. I don't much like that central argument, that a meritocracy can't be stable, but I have never seen any convincing counter-argument.
I've returned to the topic now because I've just read a rather good piece about it by blogger Mickey Kaus, September 22nd, title: Two Paths for Meritocracy.
Kaus agrees with me about the book's prescience. Quote:
Young foresees practically everything. I mean everything. The hiving off of the credentialed, the inevitable SAT-selected snobbery, the rise of Trump-like populists, Herrnstein-Murray genetics, the push for a guaranteed income (UBI), even a Silicon-Valley style elite. I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere in there Young told us the winners of next year's Grammys.
End quote.
Kaus notes that our increasing social stratification—the "coming apart" that Charles Murray wrote a book about—is a consequence of late-20th-century meritocracy. Further quote:
Highly skilled people make more money (increasingly more) and choose to live with other highly skilled people. They marry each other and have highly skilled children. Those without skills fall on harder times and increasingly rely on public subsidies.
End quote.
Kaus thinks, however, that meritocracy is slipping away. The SATs and the Graduate Record Exam are being discarded on social-justice grounds. New York City's specialized public high schools are under attack on those same grounds. You can just buy a place at Harvard nowadays, which, according to Kaus, you couldn't fifty years ago: He offers Jared Kushner as an example.
What's more, he says, the meritocratic elite are not very happy in their success. Changes in the way the high professions—law, medicine, banking, corporate management—work have made those professions unrewarding, except financially.
Is there a solution? Kaus doesn't seem to think so. He makes what seems to me a muddled pitch for a less-fair system. If success in life were just random, even nepotistic, citizens wouldn't feel so bad about being un-successful. It wouldn't be our fault!
It sounds as though Kaus's argument doesn't even convince himself. He allows, for example, that his less-fair system would depress GDP, leaving us all poorer.
Probably he's right. Michael Young's argument from 62 years ago stands, I think, un-refuted; and I'm still there looking over Bertrand Russell's shoulder at David Hume. I cannot but hope that something less sceptical than Young's system may be discoverable.

07—Miscellany. And now, our closing miscellany of brief items.
Imprimis: News this morning, Friday, is that our President and First Lady have been diagnosed COVID-19-positive. Vice President Mike Pence, however, has tested negative.
We shouldn't be surprised. COVID-19 is a politicians' disease if ever there was one, especially for a politician like Trump, who likes being out there among his supporters. They're supposed to be out there "pressing the flesh," as we used to say, though I guess that phrase has dropped out of the political vocabulary now. When indoors, they spend most of their time in rooms full of advisors, or foreign ambassadors and such, all breathing on each other.
So, not a great surprise. Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson has had the virus; he seems to have made a full recovery.
I also wonder if there's a generational thing in play. Trump's just a few months younger than me. Perhaps he shares my refusal to be bothered much about the COVID-19 panic. Perhaps, like me, he remembers the flu pandemic of 1957-58 that killed over a million people worldwide, when our planet's population was less than half what it is now.
I can remember a third of the seats in my school classroom being vacant, boys either sick with the flu or kept at home by parents in case. Actually closing down the school seems not to have occurred to anyone.
Politically, it's a nuisance for the President to have to go into quarantine just now, shutting down those rallies he's been doing, that he clearly finds so energizing. A possible upside, far as I'm concerned, is that we may be spared any more debates.
The First Couple have the virus but seem to be asymptomatic. I hope they remain so.

Item: I still can't get any traction for my "One Strike and You're Dead" proposal: get caught jaywalking, go to the chair. I take what comfort I can from noting that the federal government, at least, is carrying out executions.
Thursday last week 40-year-old Christopher Vialva was killed by lethal injection at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, for a double homicide he committed in 1999. The actual crime is hard to read about, and the only thing to regret about the execution is that it took 21 years to give the swine his just deserts.
Vialva was black and his two victims were white. That of course has progressives calling the execution racist. On the numbers, it looks to me as if black murderers are getting off lightly. This is the seventh federal execution since July. Of the preceding six, five were white and one was Navajo.
Given that, according to federal crime statistics, 56 percent of murderers are black, one out of seven looks to me like extreme favoritism towards blacks.
Something called the Death Penalty Information Center tells us that 26 of the 56 inmates currently on federal Death Row are black. That's 46 percent. If 56 percent of murderers are black, that's still a serious under-representation, evidence of more favoritism toward blacks.
Perhaps the President could mention that in the next debate, if there is one. Yeah, right!

Item: Elsewhere they do things differently. I've been following the case of the Twitter killer in Japan.
When I saw the headline I thought for one joyful moment that the guy had killed off Twitter, sparing me the hour or so each day I spend browsing the damn thing.
No such luck. This is a young man, Takahiro Shiraishi, 29 years old, who opened a Twitter account to contact women who were contemplating suicide. He lured them by telling them he could help them die.
At least eight were thus lured, one only 15 years old. When he had them in his apartment, Shiraishi killed them, then chopped up the bodies. He also killed one male, a guy who had tracked him down when searching for his missing girlfriend.
Mr Shiraishi was arrested in 2017 but has only just this week come to trial. It's quite a sensation over there: 600 people lined up for 13 seats in the public gallery.
If found guilty, Mr Shiraishi will be executed. Japan executes average four or five people a year. The method is hanging, quicker and more honest than the hypocritical, pseudo-clinical method of lethal injection used in our federal prisons.
If the state is going to do lethal violence to a person, we should do it unapologetically, not pretend we're giving them some kind of medical treatment.

Item: A small war has broken out in the Caucasus between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
I guess war is a bad thing, and we should feel sorry for the people getting bombed, shot, and driven from their homes. I'm doing my best; but those nations are so small and remote, it's hard to work up much interest.
Viewing the war from this distance, in fact, with zero possibility the outcome will have any effect on us—unless we're such damn fools as to get involved, which of course we may be—from this distance it's tempting, though a bit macabre, to see the war as a kind of sporting contest to which we in the rest of the world are spectators. I wonder if an enterprising bookie somewhere is taking bets on the result.

Item: In a different part of the world, Nigeria—the nation of Nigeria—has just turned 60. Congratulations to Nigeria on that, and good luck for the next 60 years.
The U.N. reports consistently show Nigeria as having the fastest-growing population among the ten biggest countries. The U.N. projects a population of almost 800 million by year 2100; so 60 years from now, on a linear interpolation, there will be 650 million Nigerians, twice the current population of the U.S.A.
That assumes Nigerian statistics can be trusted. Steve Sailer has written at length about this, his findings suggesting strongly that Nigeria's censuses are a bit of a joke, both sides of the country's major ethnic split—northern Muslims, southern Christians—fudging the numbers for political advantage. Whatever: There are a huge number of Nigerians, and the number's getting huger really fast.
Corruption is dire: Nigeria ranks 146 out of the 180 nations ranked by Transparency International last year. The price of oil is sinking and the Sahara Desert is advancing southwards.
On David Becker's stats, the country's mean IQ is 68. That's not helped by the fact that we've been strip-mining the place of its tiny number of smart people.
So, as I said: Good luck, Nigeria! You'll be needing it.

The mental toll from predatory crime can be severe, but you aren’t really supposed to bring up your victimization if you are white and the criminals weren’t.
For example, the newspapers probably remind us more each year about the Emmett Till case of 1955 than of all the black-on-white crime in subsequent decades that had such a disastrous effect on America’s cities. In 2020, nobody wants to hear a white person talk about being victimized by a black, even if talking would be helpful to the victim’s sanity.

Ski, Party, Seed a Pandemic: The Travel Rules that Let COVID-19 Take Flight By Selam Gebrekidan, Katrin Bennhold, Matt Apuzzo and David D. Kirkpatrick
Sept. 30, 2020 The World Health Organization said open borders would help fight disease. Experts, and a global treaty, emphatically agreed. But the scientific evidence was never behind them. ISCHGL, Austria — They came from across the world to ski in the most famous resorts of the Austrian alps. Jacob Homiller and his college friends flew in from the United States. Jane Witt, a retired lecturer, arrived from London for a family reunion. Annette Garten, the youth director at a tennis club in Hamburg, was celebrating her birthday with her husband and two grown children. They knew in late February and early March that the coronavirus was spreading in nearby northern Italy, and across the other border in Germany, but no one was alarmed.

Nine months into an outbreak that has killed a million people worldwide, Ischgl is where the era of global tourism, made possible by cheap airfares and open borders, collided with a pandemic. For decades, as trade and travel drew the world closer, public health policy, enshrined by treaty, encouraged global mass tourism by calling for open borders, even during outbreaks.
Foreign travel is wonderful, but it’s more of a luxury. Shutting down foreign travel is a lot cheaper way to fight a pandemic early than locking down a population late.
When the coronavirus emerged in China in January, the World Health Organization didn’t flinch in its advice: Do not restrict travel. But what is now clear is that the policy was about politics and economics more than public health. Public health records, scores of scientific studies and interviews with more than two dozen experts show the policy of unobstructed travel was never based on hard science. It was a political decision, recast as health advice, which emerged after a plague outbreak in India in the 1990s.

Not knowing is especially vexing as the world seeks a way back to normalcy. For months, national leaders have invoked travel restrictions that vary in strictness and are often contradictory. Some shut their borders and simultaneously imposed domestic lockdowns, others required tests and quarantines. Many regularly revised their lists of risky destinations, sometimes responding tit for tat when their citizens were denied entry. The restrictions have humbled powerful nations like the United States, whose citizens are no longer welcome across most of the world.

I only just now noticed that back in August, John Derbyshire addressed a blog of mine at American Renaissance: "What Is Wrong with White Women?"
A few things:
1) Mr. Derbyshire credits me with coining the phrase "Mad Sow Disease"—but I must confess: that was the brainchild of my fearless leader and editor Jared Taylor.
2) The Derb mentions that many of the woke women in the photos I put together are attractive, and maintains that in general, plenty of woke women are good looking. I agree, but it seems as though Mr. Derbyshire thinks I disagree, writing:
"I must say, though, with all proper respect to Chris, who is doing God's work over there at AmRen, I must say that the women in those thirty-odd pictures at the AmRen post are, for the most part, not unattractive. Their figures are trim and their features, so far as you can tell with all the masks, pleasant and regular."

I appreciate his praise, but again, I'm not sure why he thinks I believe woke women are unattractive. In my blog, I noted, "White women—young and old, fair and homely, around the world—especially lack a racial consciousness." [emphasis added]
At any rate, let me state for the record:
Among the fairer sex, I have never found a strong correlation between beauty and political beliefs. Many insufferably woke women are hot. For better or for worse, I know (in the Biblical sense) this to be true.

You may see Trump's post in this embed, but on Twitter you see this message:
What that means is they want to call Trump a liar, but they can't bring themselves to just delete a Tweet from the President of the United States. (They're saying that no recent flu has been as bad, but as John Derbyshire pointed out, the President is old enough to remember the 1957–58 flu pandemic, which was that bad. So is Michael Barone.)
They did this with an earlier Tweet, in which he had a clip from an MSM interview in which he said
"If you look at children, children are almost — and I would almost say definitely — but almost immune from this disease," Mr. Trump said.
The thing is, this is true. A total of 32 children between 5 and 14 have died in the US from Covid. That's less than 1 in 6000 of the deaths nationwide. That's the same as "almost immune."
It seems like, as with "Mexican rapists" and many other true statements that the MSM "fact checks," they've heard what he said, interpreted it to mean something totally different, and called it a lie.
Oh, and it's obvious that when FDR said "The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself" in his 1933 inauguration he was wrong—the Depression would continue for years, and then there was that war—but what would Twitter have done with that President's attempt to bring the nation out of the doldrums?
