vdare--2020-06-04--Irresponsible Dem/ MSM Complex Tells Childish Blacks To Riot—So They Do. Whose Fault Is That?

What kind of a person would tell white American children that they were , to some extent , justified in burning down the neighborhood stores that might one day employ them ?
That the teachers , and not they , were in charge of the school because the teachers were wicked people who wanted to hurt them ?
That teachers should take the side of these violent kids and help in their mindless quest towards destruction ?
But this is exactly what the Democrat/ Main Stream Media Complex is telling blacks in American cities today .
In effect , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people who have the psychology of white children—that is , African-Americans—to riot .
And it is encouraging them to feel that their relatively low social status is the fault of whites , rather than an inevitable result of their own average deficiencies .
Let us be frank .
African-Americans have the modal psychology of white American children .
They have an average IQ of 85 , compared to a white IQ of 100 .
This is the difference between a police officer and a low-level security guard or casual laborer .
And it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most widely-replicated results in psychometrics .
This difference is mainly for genetic reasons .
Inter-racial twin adoption studies have shown that the IQ of blacks , adopted by middle class whites , ultimately ends up being about 85 , the likely IQ of their biological parents .
And the difference between whites and blacks on IQ tests is on the IQ sub-tests , the results in which are the most strongly genetic , with blacks ' best scores being on the most environmentally-influenced , and also culturally unfair , parts of the IQ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ known—see , for example , Arthur Jensen ’ s 1998 book The g Factor .
Raw intelligence—meaning the ability to solve cognitive problems— peaks at about the age of 35 , though there are variations depending on the kind of intelligence , and then starts to decline [ Cognitive Skills Peak at Different Ages Across Adulthood , American Psychological Association , 2015 ] .
This is why “ intelligence ” is judged in relation to people of your own age—hence “ Intelligence Quotient.
” An average 35-year-old will score better on an intelligence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ old , but the seven year old will have a higher IQ and will score far better in early middle age than Mr. Average did .
This means that the average African-American of 35 will have the intelligence of a white 29 year-old and it will decline from then on .
So a black rioter , who may be around 18 years old , will have the intellectual capacity of a white 15 year-old .
As Arthur Jensen showed in The g Factor , IQ is associated with a very large number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and education level .
So these correlates alone would predict that blacks would be poorer than whites .
However , IQ is also associated with law-abidingness , meaning that blacks will be more criminal than whites and , so , more likely to be arrested and more likely to go to prison .
This has nothing to do with “ discrimination ” or “ racism ” because it is neatly explained by black IQ .
In addition , low IQ predicts poor moral reasoning , low altruistic behavior , low empathy for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impulsivity , lack of trust , and high racial prejudice .
This means , in essence , that black people , compared to whites , are a barrel of gunpowder awaiting a lighted match .
They are , compared to whites , more inclined , due to their lower IQ , to break the law , behave selfishly , and callously , act on impulse without thinking of the future , to accept simplistic and dogmatic ideas that might benefit them ( such as “ It 's all to do with white racism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to hate whites in a way that is not reciprocated .
All of these points are truer of children than adults , because children are less intelligent than adults .
But that is not all .
Then there is the average personality of blacks , in comparison to whites .
This is also more child-like .
Most psychologists accept that there are 5 key personality traits—known as the Big Five .
These traits are Openness ( intellectual curiosity and being interested in novelty ) , Conscientiousness ( impulse control and rule following ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and taking risks ) , Agreeableness ( altruism and empathy ) and Neuroticism ( feeling negative feelings strongly and thus being mentally unstable ) They are at least 50 percent heritable on average .
[ Heritability of the Big Five Personality Dimensions and Their Facets : A Twin Study , by Kerry L. Jang , W. John Livesley , Philip A. Vemon , Personality , September , 1996 ] [ See Daniel Nettle ’ s 2007 book Personality ] .
The strength of these personality traits changes across the life span .
As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ higher in Conscientiousness , higher in Agreeableness , and lower in Extraversion .
In other words , we become kinder , more rule-following and less inclined to take stupid risks .
The evidence for Neuroticism is mixed and unclear [ Age Differences in the Big Five Across the Life Span , by M. Donnellan & Richard Lucas , Psychology of Aging , 2008 ] .
African-Americans score lower than whites , when controlling for age , in Conscientiousness and Agreeableness ( which also means they have higher self-esteem than whites ) and they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Behavior , by J. Philippe Rushton , 1995 , p. 25 .
In other words , their personality is more child-like , meaning they can be much more easily incited towards precisely the rioting behavior in which they intermittently engage .
However , you might also expect them to be adventurous , friendly and talkative in comparison to whites .
Blacks are low in Neuroticism , but this because they are so low in one measure of it : Anxiety .
This trait makes you worry about other people ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It also makes you worry about the future consequences of your actions .
It would make you very disinclined , in other words , to riot and loot .
On all other key measures of Neuroticism , blacks score higher than whites .
They are , therefore , higher in stress disorders than are whites , including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder .
This means they are more “ on edge ” —more likely to explode into a rage [ Race Differences in Anxiety Disorders , Worry and Social Anxiety , by Heitor Fernandes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ] .
Indeed , they score high than whites in Hypomania , an aspect of which is irritability [ Why Race Matters , by Michael Levin , 2005 , p.74 ] .
Research has also found that they are higher than whites in negative ethnocentrism—in feeling strongly negative feelings about other races .
( This is discussed in Race Differences in Ethnocentrism , By Edward Dutton ) .
In intelligence and personality , and in all that these predict , blacks can be compared to white children .
Responsible people look after children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teach them to think logically , and teach them to follow the rules .
What kind of people would encourage adults who have a childlike psychology to riot and feel justified in so-doing ?
Only the ardent enemies of all that is good in the world .

In effect, the Democrat/ Main Stream Media complex is inciting people who have the psychology of white children—that is, African-Americans—to riot. And it is encouraging them to feel that their relatively low social status is the fault of whites, rather than an inevitable result of their own average deficiencies.
Let us be frank. African-Americans have the modal psychology of white American children. They have an average IQ of 85, compared to a white IQ of 100. This is the difference between a police officer and a low-level security guard or casual laborer. And it’s one of the longest-standing and most widely replicated results in psychometrics.
This difference is mainly for genetic reasons. Inter-racial twin adoption studies have shown that the IQ of blacks, adopted by middle class whites, ultimately ends up being about 85, the likely IQ of their biological parents. And the difference between whites and blacks on IQ tests is on the IQ sub-tests, the results in which are the most strongly genetic, with blacks' best scores being on the most environmentally influenced, and also culturally unfair, parts of the IQ tests. All of this is widely known—see, for example, Arthur Jensen’s 1998 book The g Factor.
Raw intelligence—meaning the ability to solve cognitive problems—peaks at about the age of 35, though there are variations depending on the kind of intelligence, and then starts to decline [Cognitive Skills Peak at Different Ages Across Adulthood, American Psychological Association, 2015]. This is why “intelligence” is judged in relation to people of your own age—hence “Intelligence Quotient.” An average 35-year-old will score better on an intelligence test than a very clever seven-year-old, but the seven-year-old will have a higher IQ and will score far better in early middle age than Mr. Average did.
This means that the average African-American of 35 will have the intelligence of a white 29 year-old and it will decline from then on. So a black rioter, who may be around 18 years old, will have the intellectual capacity of a white 15 year-old.
In other words…a child.
As Arthur Jensen showed in The g Factor, IQ is associated with a very large number of important things including socioeconomic status, salary, and education level. So these correlates alone would predict that blacks would be poorer than whites.
However, IQ is also associated with law-abidingness, meaning that blacks will be more criminal than whites and, so, more likely to be arrested and more likely to go to prison. This has nothing to do with “discrimination” or “racism” because it is neatly explained by black IQ.
In addition, low IQ predicts poor moral reasoning, low altruistic behavior, low empathy for others' feelings, black-and-white thinking, impulsivity, lack of trust, and high racial prejudice.
This means, in essence, that black people, compared to whites, are a barrel of gunpowder awaiting a lighted match. They are, compared to whites, more inclined, due to their lower IQ, to break the law, behave selfishly, and callously, act on impulse without thinking of the future, to accept simplistic and dogmatic ideas that might benefit them (such as “It's all to do with white racism”) and they can be expected to hate whites in a way that is not reciprocated.
All of these points are truer of children than adults, because children are less intelligent than adults.
But that is not all. Then there is the average personality of blacks, in comparison to whites. This is also more child-like.
Most psychologists accept that there are 5 key personality traits—known as the Big Five. These traits are Openness (intellectual curiosity and being interested in novelty), Conscientiousness (impulse control and rule following), Extraversion (feeling positive feelings strongly and taking risks), Agreeableness (altruism and empathy) and Neuroticism (feeling negative feelings strongly and thus being mentally unstable). They are at least 50 percent heritable on average [Heritability of the Big Five Personality Dimensions and Their Facets: A Twin Study, by Kerry L. Jang, W. John Livesley, Philip A. Vernon, Personality, September, 1996]. [See Daniel Nettle’s 2007 book Personality.]
The strength of these personality traits changes across the life span. As we age, we tend to become higher in Conscientiousness, higher in Agreeableness, and lower in Extraversion. In other words, we become kinder, more rule-following and less inclined to take stupid risks. The evidence for Neuroticism is mixed and unclear [Age Differences in the Big Five Across the Life Span, by M. Donnellan & Richard Lucas, Psychology of Aging, 2008].
African-Americans score lower than whites, when controlling for age, in Conscientiousness and Agreeableness (which also means they have higher self-esteem than whites) and they score higher in Extraversion—see Race, Evolution, and Behavior, by J. Philippe Rushton, 1995, p. 25. In other words, their personality is more child-like, meaning they can be much more easily incited towards precisely the rioting behavior in which they intermittently engage. However, you might also expect them to be adventurous, friendly and talkative in comparison to whites.
Blacks are low in Neuroticism, but this is because they are so low in one measure of it: Anxiety. This trait makes you worry about other people’s feelings and what they think of you. It also makes you worry about the future consequences of your actions. It would make you very disinclined, in other words, to riot and loot.
On all other key measures of Neuroticism, blacks score higher than whites. They are, therefore, higher in stress disorders than are whites, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This means they are more “on edge”—more likely to explode into a rage [Race Differences in Anxiety Disorders, Worry and Social Anxiety, by Heitor Fernandes et al., Mankind Quarterly, 2018]. Indeed, they score higher than whites in Hypomania, an aspect of which is irritability [Why Race Matters, by Michael Levin, 2005, p.74]. Research has also found that they are higher than whites in negative ethnocentrism—in feeling strongly negative feelings about other races. (This is discussed in Race Differences in Ethnocentrism, by Edward Dutton).
In intelligence and personality, and in all that these predict, blacks can be compared to white children. Responsible people look after children, nurture them towards pro-social behavior, teach them to think logically, and teach them to follow the rules.
What kind of people would encourage adults who have a childlike psychology to riot and feel justified in so doing?
Only the ardent enemies of all that is good in the world.

Our mainstream media is so intellectually hamstrung by self-censorship, so lacking in a conceptual vocabulary for describing racial realities, that after watching blacks tormenting blacks night after night in New Orleans, shooting at the helicopters and boats trying to rescue their fellow African-Americans, all the pundits could do was scream “white racism!” And prescribe massive new spending on urban poverty—despite all the evidence that the last War of Poverty made the New Orleans Nightmare worse by undermining African-Americans' already tenuous family structure.
Fifteen years later—more than fifty years after first being proposed—the prescription remains the same.
It still doesn’t work. And it never will.

Earlier: Disloyal Kelly And Mattis Refused To Let Trump Use Troops To Defend Border
In his statement to The Atlantic magazine, former Defense Secretary General James Mattis says of the events of the last 10 days that have shaken the nation as it has not been shaken since 1968:
"We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers."
Is "a small number of lawbreakers" an apt description of wilding mobs who have showered cops with bottles, bricks and rocks in 40 cities, looted stores in the hundreds, torched police cars, and injured dozens of Secret Service personnel defending the White House?
Is "a small number of lawbreakers" the way a patriot would describe anti-American anarchists who desecrated the Lincoln Memorial, the World War II Memorial on the Mall and the Korean War Memorial and tried to burn down the Church of the Presidents in Lafayette Square?
Was the sacking of Georgetown, Rodeo Drive in LA, 5th Avenue in New York and 40 city centers, the work of a few "lawbreakers"?
Is that a good description of the people who gravely wounded that cop in Las Vegas and shot four cops and murdered that retired black police chief in St. Louis?
The protesters, says Mattis, are "rightly demanding ... Equal Justice Under Law." This is a "wholesome and unifying demand—one that all of us should be able to get behind."
But what does the general think of the methods and means the "protesters" have used—the massive civil disobedience, the blocking of streets, the vilification of police, the contempt for curfews. What does the general think of protesters who provide moral cover for insurrection?
"Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people," says Mattis. Trump "doesn't even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us."
But it was not Trump who divided America in this racial crisis.
The nation was united in revulsion at the criminal cruelty that led to George Floyd's death. The nation was united in backing an enraged people's right to protest that atrocity.
What divided America were the methods and means protesters began using in the first hours of the Minneapolis riot—the attacks on cops with bottles, bricks and Molotov cocktails.
In Mattis' statement, one finds not a word of sympathy or support for the police bearing the brunt of mob brutality for defending the communities they serve, while defending the constitutional right of the protesters to curse them as racist and rogue cops.
"Keeping public order rests with civilian state and local leaders who best understand their communities and are answerable to them," not to the military, says the general.
Correct. But what happens when mobs run wild to where a governor of New York is denouncing the NYPD for failing to protect the city from anarchy and is threatening to replace the mayor for failing to put down the insurrection.
In July 1967, the 82nd Airborne was sent into Detroit to put down the riot. In 1968, there were federal troops in D.C. to stop the rioting in the wake of Dr. King's assassination. In the violent protests of the Nixon era, U.S. airborne troops were brought into the basement of the Executive Office Building.
The general quotes James Madison: "America united with a handful of troops, or without a single soldier exhibits a more forbidding posture to foreign invaders than an America disunited."
And how, General, did that work out for Madison when the "foreign invaders" arrived in Maryland in August 1814, marched up Bladensburg Road, and burned the Capitol and White House and Alexandria, while "Little Jimmy" fled out the Brookville Road?
If memory serves, it was Gen. Andrew Jackson and the troops he pulled together for the Battle of New Orleans who defeated the British and saved the Union.
"Society cannot exist," wrote Edmund Burke, "unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without.
"It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters."
That is where we are now. Society and civilization are on the line.
If mob tactics are now how we change laws and alter public policy, the democratic republic is dead and we have gone full Third World.
Some of us do not believe America is a racist society or that the nation's police, numbering a million men and women, are shot through with anti-black racism.
Some of us believe the police are the last line of defense we have against that "small number of lawbreakers" Mattis tells us are no problem.
Did the general actually produce this pile of mush that reads like something out of Ramsey Clark in the 1960s?
My guess: Mattis, an obedient servant of President Trump for two years, has been persuaded that the wind is blowing the other way and his "place in history" demands that he get himself on the correct side.
The general has just defected to the resistance.

Earlier: Transylvania: Where Nationalism Is Still Alive...Or Possibly Undead
Today is the centenary of the Treaty of Trianon, when Hungary lost much of its historic territory. Trianon is still a very sore point with Hungarian nationalists.
As a longtime Hungarophile, I sympathize; although as I wrote four years ago in regard to Transylvania:
At the risk of triggering a flood of angry letters from Hungarian patriots, I should say that the Treaty of Trianon made some demographic sense. The 1900 census showed Romanians as much the largest of the nationalities in Transylvania, at 56 percent. Hungarians, with the ethnically related Szeklers, were only 23 percent.

Infectious disease physicians and public health officials publicly condemned these actions and privately mourned the widening rift between leaders in science and a subset of the communities that they serve .
As of May 30 , we are witnessing continuing demonstrations in response to ongoing , pervasive , and lethal institutional racism set off by the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor , among many other Black lives taken by police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demonstrations is also warranted , but this message must be wholly different from the response to white protesters resisting stay-home orders .

A public service message from the chairman of the Health Committee of the NY City Council:
Let's be clear about something: if there is a spike in coronavirus cases in the next two weeks, don't blame the protesters.
Blame racism. — Mark D. Levine (@MarkLevineNYC) June 3, 2020
An open letter that is 100% pure “Who? Whom?”
Open letter advocating for an anti-racist public health response to demonstrations against systemic injustice occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic On April 30, heavily armed and predominantly white protesters entered the State Capitol building in Lansing, Michigan, protesting stay-home orders and calls for widespread public masking to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Infectious disease physicians and public health officials publicly condemned these actions and privately mourned the widening rift between leaders in science and a subset of the communities that they serve. As of May 30, we are witnessing continuing demonstrations in response to ongoing, pervasive, and lethal institutional racism set off by the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, among many other Black lives taken by police. A public health response to these demonstrations is also warranted, but this message must be wholly different from the response to white protesters resisting stay-home orders. Infectious disease and public health narratives adjacent to demonstrations against racism must be consciously anti-racist, and infectious disease experts must be clear and consistent in prioritizing an anti-racist message. White supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19. Black people are twice as likely to be killed by police compared to white people, but the effects of racism are far more pervasive. Black people suffer from dramatic health disparities in life expectancy, maternal and infant mortality, chronic medical conditions, and outcomes from acute illnesses like myocardial infarction and sepsis. Biological determinants are insufficient to explain these disparities. They result from long-standing systems of oppression and bias which have subjected people of color to discrimination in the healthcare setting, decreased access to medical care and healthy food, unsafe working conditions, mass incarceration, exposure to pollution and noise, and the toxic effects of stress. Black people are also more likely to develop COVID-19. Black people with COVID-19 are diagnosed later in the disease course and have a higher rate of hospitalization, mechanical ventilation, and death. COVID-19 among Black patients is yet another lethal manifestation of white supremacy. In addressing demonstrations against white supremacy, our first statement must be one of unwavering support for those who would dismantle, uproot, or reform racist institutions. Staying at home, social distancing, and public masking are effective at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. To the extent possible, we support the application of these public health best practices during demonstrations that call attention to the pervasive lethal force of white supremacy. However, as public health advocates, we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission. We support them as vital to the national public health and to the threatened health specifically of Black people in the United States. We can show that support by facilitating safest protesting practices without detracting from demonstrators’ ability to gather and demand change. This should not be confused with a permissive stance on all gatherings, particularly protests against stay-home orders. Those actions not only oppose public health interventions, but are also rooted in white nationalism and run contrary to respect for Black lives. Protests against systemic racism, which fosters the disproportionate burden of COVID-19 on Black communities and also perpetuates police violence, must be supported. … This letter is signed by 1,288 public health professionals, infectious diseases professionals, and community stakeholders.

As in the war zone that America has now become, historic statues are being attacked by protesters, and removed by cowardly or Minority Occupied city government.
We've appealed on Twitter for President Trump to protect them:
President Trump, the statue of General Lee in Richmond has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1997. Please use an Executive Order to protect our history. If not, it will be Lincoln, Jefferson, and Washington (along with Andrew Jackson) tomorrow.
The Texas Ranger statue is being removed:
IT'S HAPPENING SO FAST...
So few are willing to speak out in a language Americans can understand, so here goes: the system is totally at war with you & your history. Nothing will survive. Drew Brees can't even muster support of flag w/out racism claims.https://t.co/YY7WRPXkCE — VDARE (@vdare) June 4, 2020

In 2002 , the great political scientist James Q. Wilson wrote a book chapter summing up a lifetime of studying the vexed issue of crime and race : A central problem—perhaps the central problem—in improving the relationship between white and black Americans is the difference in racial crime rates .
No matter how innocent or guilty a stranger may be , he carries with him in public the burdens or benefits of his group identity… Estimating the crime rates of racial groups is , of course , difficult because we only know the arrest rate .

During the 1980s and early 1990s , fewer than one out of every 2,000 black men would kill a person in any year , and most of their victims were other blacks .

Estimating the crime rates of racial groups is, of course, difficult because we only know the arrest rate. If police are more (or less) likely to arrest a criminal of a given race, the arrest rate will overstate (or understate) the true crime rate. To examine this problem, researchers have compared the rate at which criminal victims report (in the National Crime Victimization Survey, or NCVS) the racial identity of whoever robbed or assaulted them with the rate at which the police arrest robbers or assaulters of different races.

Of course the average African American male is not likely to kill anybody.

The estimated rate at which black men commit burglary is three times higher than it is for white men; for rape, it is five times higher. The difference between blacks and whites with respect to crime, and especially violent crime, has, I think, done more to impede racial amity than any other factor. Pure racism—that is, a visceral dislike of another person because of his skin color—has always existed. It is less common today than it once was, but it persists and no doubt explains part of our racial standoff. But pure racism once stigmatized other racial minorities who have today largely overcome that burden.

For many decades, Chinese testimony was not accepted in California courts, an Alien Land Law discouraged Asian land purchases, the Chinese Exclusion Act (not repealed until 1943) prevented Chinese immigration, and a Gentlemen’s Agreement, signed in 1907, required Japan to cut back sharply on passports issued to Japanese who wished to emigrate to California.

The curfew was ignored last night, largely speaking. Thousands of "protesters" were all over the neighborhood, cops as well, and helicopters, and sirens—police, fire, and ambulance. There were no major problems within our line of sight and there is precious little unbroken glass left; so in comparison with what has gone before, it was a quiet night, although surely the sirens were for something.
Now every group of young black guys glower as us like they wish us dead, which of course they do. So the questions are turning toward what happens when the curfew is lifted. "Normal life" feels like it's off the table.
My speculation is that when the curfew is done, we'll get individual groups of black kids doing the racial-animus version of wilding. Five of them stroll up, demand you kneel to them, confess your white guilt, and swear your allegiance to Black Lives Matter. If you refuse, you get a beating. They'll keep the injuries light, and the blacks will avoid prosecution because … 400 years of slavery.
It’s the logical next step. My dread is that they're using this time to get more organized for the next level of Antifa revolution: restocking supplies, making more careful plans, targeting specific areas where they can inflict terror. Hopefully they are as incompetent as they look.
To my knowledge, they haven't targeted any residences yet. The brownstones here look like promising targets. If it goes that way after the curfew, we’ll need the Army.
If you listen to [mutual acquaintance], his reaction to the "kneel and repent your whiteness" video is going to cause a Greenwich Village Klan chapter to spring up. The people who haven’t been locked in at night for their own protection seem horrified and angered by this.
Here we're just defeated. They vastly outnumber us and, thanks to the Mayor, are more or less free from prosecution, so they can do what they like. We personally feel like sitting ducks whose time will come eventually.
I don't see how the city comes back. It would take another Giuliani, and those don't grow on trees here. I think for the rest of 2020 at least, we're hostages in America's war for wokeness.

From the Roosevelt Institute, a couple of leftists explain the inexplicable:
Rioting Mainly for Fun and Profit: The Neoconservative Origins of Our Police Problem
BY MIKE KONCZAL / FRIDAY, 15 AUGUST 2014 / PUBLISHED IN BLOG, NEWS, RORTYBOMB
Before it was anything else, the neoconservative movement was a theory of the urban crisis. As a reaction to the urban riots of the 1960s, it put an ideological and social-scientific veneer on a doctrine that called for overwhelming force against minor infractions — a doctrine that is still with us today, as people are killed for walking down the street in Ferguson and allegedly selling single cigarettes in New York. But neoconservatives also sought, rather successfully, to position liberalism itself as the cause of the urban crisis, solvable only through the reassertion of order through the market and the police.
Edward Banfield was one of the first neoconservative thinkers who started writing in the 1960s and ’70s and was a prominent figure in the movement, though he isn’t remembered as well as his close friends Milton Friedman or Leo Strauss, or his star student James Q. Wilson. Banfield contributed to the beginning of neoconservative urban crisis thinking, the Summer 1969 “Focus on New York” issue of The Public Interest, which began to formalize neoconservatives’ framing of the urban crisis as the result of not just the Great Society in particular but the liberal project as a whole.
In his major book The Unheavenly City (pdf here), Banfield set the tone for much of what would come in the movement. Commentary described the book as “a political scientist’s version of Milton Friedman’s Capitalism and Freedom” at the time. It sold 100,000 copies, and gathered both extensive news coverage and academic interest.
The Unheavenly City’s most infamous chapter is “Rioting Mainly for Fun and Profit.” Fresh off televised riots in Watts, Detroit, and Newark, Banfield argued that it was “naive to think that efforts to end racial injustice and to eliminate poverty, slums, and unemployment will have an appreciable effect upon the amount of rioting that will be done in the next decade or two.” Absolute living standards had been rising rapidly. For Banfield, this was entirely the result of market and social forces rather than the state, and the poor, with their short time-horizons and desire for immediate gratification, would largely be left behind and always be prone to rioting. Today’s classic, if often implicit, repudiations of poor people’s humanity were clearly expressed here.
Rather than political protests or rebellions, Banfield argued that riots were largely opportunistic displays of violence and theft. He broke down four types of riots: (1) rampages, where young men are simply looking for trouble and act out violently; (2) pillaging, where theft is the main focus, and the riot serves as a solution for a type of collective action problem for thieves; (3) righteous indignation, where people act against an insult against their community; and (4) demonstrations, which are neither spontaneous nor violent but instead designed for a specific political purpose.
Banfield argued that the poor mainly engaged in the first two types of riots. Righteous indignation riots were a feature of the working class, because the “lower-class individual is too alienated to be capable of much indignation.” Demonstrations were largely the focus of the middle and upper classes, as they ran organizations and were able to make coherent claims on the state.
At this point Banfield’s text reads like a list of cranky, armchair reactionary observations about riots. It received considerable blowback at the time. What was innovative, for a neoconservative agenda, was where he put the blame. Young men will be young men, the text seems to suggest. The problem is what enables them to riot.
The initial perpetrators included the media, whose neutral (or even sensationalistic) coverage “recruited rampagers, pillagers, and others to the scene.” They also made the rioting more dangerous by expanding the knowledge base of the rioters. The larger academic community was also at fault since, to Banfield’s ear, “explaining the riots tended to justify them.” Upper-class demonstrators were also responsible for raising expectations of what the poor could demand from the state and from society writ large.

I can remember when this Nike store on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile opened around 1993, soon after the 1992 Rodney King Riot in L.A. and the sizable Michael Jordan Riot in June 1992 to celebrate the Bulls’ second NBA title. Because it would, obviously, be the favorite target of future looters, it was built like a fortress, with all sorts of rails and grills to keep looters out. But it looks like in the calmer years between then and now, store management got overconfident and rebuilt it into a friendlier-looking storefront. Oh, well …

Jewish business owners describe vandalism, looting of businesses in LA
These are the descriptions Jewish business owners cited when talking about how their stores were looted and ransacked, and synagogues were vandalized with graffiti.
By KELLY HARTOG JUNE 3, 2020
LOS ANGELES – Masks. Hoodies. Sledgehammers. Crowbars. Baseball bats.
These are the descriptions Jewish business owners cited when talking about how their stores were looted and ransacked, and synagogues were vandalized with graffiti after peaceful protests spiraled out of control in Los Angeles beginning on Friday night and continuing into the weekend. …
Many of the business owners whose stores were looted in the Beverly Hills, downtown Los Angeles and the heavily Orthodox Fairfax district, are observant Jews who had shut off all electronic devices and connection to the outside world on Thursday night in observance of both the two-day Shavuot holiday and Shabbat. Calls from alarm companies and multiple text messages and phone calls from non-observant friends, family and nearby store owners jolted them out of their safe bubble. …
The sentiments were echoed by other Jewish business owners. Avida Giloh, who owns Revere Jewels in Beverly Hills, had his second-floor business looted late Saturday night.
Originally from Ra’anana, Giloh came to the US 18 years ago. Outside video footage (the looters disabled his own video cameras) showed “13 guys coming into the building with masks and hoodies,” Giloh said. “They used a sledgehammer, broke the door of the main building and took our office apart.” He said they tried to move his safe but couldn’t.

As it is, just another story of two blacks (this time in Alabama) who simply murdered yet another white police officer.
2 charged in fatal shooting of Moody police Sgt. Stephen Williams, Al.com, June 5, 2020 Formal charges have been filed against two in the shooting death of Moody police Sgt. Stephen Williams. St. Clair County district attorney Lyle Harmon on Friday announced the arrests of Tapero Corlene Johnson, 27, and Marquisha Annissa Tyson, 28, both of the Birmingham area, in the Tuesday night shooting. “One of the best among us was taken viciously,” said St. Clair Sheriff Billy Murray. Williams, a 50-year-old father of three, had been a police officer for 23 years, the last three of those at the Moody Police Department. He began his law enforcement career at the Bessemer Police Department. Chief Thomas Hunt said Friday Williams will be promoted to lieutenant. He had just been promoted to sergeant in the past year and was a recipient of the Officer of the Year award in memory of Keith Turner, who was shot to death June 27, 1998 and was the last Moody officer killed in the line of duty. “Oh, he was awesome,’’ Hunt said of Williams. “He was just a good man, a good person, fun to be around.” “He was very thorough in his reports, a good teacher, a good mentor,’’ the chief said. “A lot of the guys looked up to Steve.” “All I can ask is for everybody to please be in prayer for the Williams family and for the Moody Police Department,” Hunt said. The shooting happened shortly before 9:30 p.m. Tuesday at the motel on Moody Parkway. A medical helicopter was sent for Williams, but the officer was instead taken by ambulance to UAB Hospital. Amar Fouda just moved into the Super 8 on U.S. 411. He said it was about 9:25 when he heard a lot of noise in Room 214, which is directly next to his room. “I heard like an AK-47,’’ he said. Fouda said he ran into the bathroom and hid in the tub. When he saw blue lights come on the scene, he looked outside. “I saw one of the officers, he was down,’’ Fouda said. He said he didn’t know why police were at the motel but said his neighbors “had been making a lot of noise.” Funeral arrangements have been announced. Williams’ visitation will be Sunday, June 7, from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. at Ridout’s Southern Heritage Funeral Home at 1011 Cahaba Valley Road in Pelham. His funeral will be held on Monday at 11 a.m. at First Baptist Church in Moody on Church Street. More than 1,000 Moody residents have signed a petition urging the city council to revoke the business license of the motel where Williams was shot, arguing the shooting “has escalated the need to close this business for good.” Amy Stewart, a Moody resident who started the petition, said the shooting of Williams was the latest incident that showed the motel does not deserve a business license. “The recent slaying of Sergeant Stephen Williams on Tuesday June 2, 2020 has escalated the need to close this business for good,” Stewart’s petition reads. “We ask that the city council and Mayor Joe Lee revoke their business license immediately for the safety of our community.”
