PRESS STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 28, 2020 Kenosha Professional Police Association Releases Details on Blake Shooting Details released by the association and involved Kenosha police officers.

While DCI updated that release earlier today (8/28/20), it is still lacking. The Kenosha Professional Police Association, including the officers involved, believe the public deserves to know the truth. Here are the actual and undisputed facts: • The officers were dispatched to the location due to a complaint that Mr. Blake was attempting to steal the caller’s keys/vehicle.
The caller was Blake’s ex-girlfriend, the mother of 3 of his children.
A question that hasn’t been answered yet is whether the three children in the back of the SUV were the children of the ex-girlfriend who called the cops on Blake. If so, did she have legal custody of them and not Blake? Was he attempting to, legally, abduct them?

But a lot of very nasty domestic disputes start exactly like that: the dad shows up to take his kids, the mom objects, the cops are called, and things go even further downhill from there.
• Officers were aware of Mr. Blake’s open warrant for felony sexual assault (3rd degree) before they arrived on scene.
The ex-girlfriend had filed a complaint against Blake’s visit to her home in May.
• Mr. Blake was not breaking up a fight between two females when officers arrived on scene.
This was alleged by at least one neighbor and widely circulated in the national press that Blake was being a peacemaker.
• The silver SUV seen in the widely circulated video was not Mr. Blake’s vehicle.
The ex-girlfriend would sometimes let him borrow her car, but he was supposed to ask.
• Mr. Blake was not unarmed. He was armed with a knife. The officers did not see the knife initially. The officers first saw him holding the knife while they were on the passenger side of the vehicle.

He already had the knife and apparently didn’t slash any cops with it. Apparently, he dropped the knife onto his floorboard when he got shot.
Maybe the cops thought Blake was being a reasonable man who understood “Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight,” so … he was going for a gun in the SUV to shoot it out with the police.
But he wasn’t being a reasonable man.
Which was the problem in the first place.
My guess is Blake’s plan was to get in the car (presumably his ex-girlfriend’s) and drive away with the kids and hope the cops just forget about the resisting arrest and the felony warrant and the (perhaps) child abduction charges.
iSteve commenter TontoBubbaGoldstein suggests:
Blake probably realized that getting arrested with the knife on his person would have resulted in additional charges and was trying to hide it in the car. Since the cops weren’t mind readers, they assumed he was attempting to retrieve a weapon from the car.
Back to the Kenosha cops press release:
• The officers initially tried to speak with Mr. Blake, but he was uncooperative. • The officers then began issuing verbal commands to Mr. Blake, but he was non-compliant. • The officers next went “hands-on” with Mr. Blake, so as to gain compliance and control. • Mr. Blake actively resisted the officers’ attempt to gain compliance. • The officers then disengaged and drew their tasers, issuing commands to Mr. Blake that he would be tased if he did not comply. • Based on his non-compliance, one officer tased Mr. Blake. The taser did not incapacitate Mr. Blake. • The officers once more went “hands-on” with Mr. Blake; again, trying to gain control of the escalating situation. • Mr. Blake forcefully fought with the officers, including putting one of the officers in a headlock. • A second taser (from a different officer than had deployed the initial taser) was then deployed on Mr. Blake. It did not appear to have any impact on him.
New Marvel Superhero: Jacob Floyd, a.k.a., Go Tase Me Bro.
• Based on the inability to gain compliance and control after using verbal, physical and less-lethal means, the officers drew their firearms. • Mr. Blake continued to ignore the officers’ commands, even with the threat of lethal force now present. The foregoing facts need to be added to the story to correct what is currently out there. As the uncontested facts above demonstrate, the officers involved gave Mr. Blake numerous opportunities to comply. He chose not to. None of the officers involved wished for things to transpire the way it did. It is my hope that truth and transparency will help begin and aid in the healing process.”

Michelle Obama has said that, to many white people, black people ‘don’t exist’ — while citing a story about a time a white woman cut her and her daughters in line when she was incognito.
The 56-year-old uploaded episode five of ‘The Michelle Obama Podcast’ on Spotify on August 26, and while chatting with her friends Kelly Dibble, Denielle Pemberton-Heard, and Dr. Sharon Malone, she highlighted a troubling reality for black people in America.
‘What the white community doesn’t understand about being a person of color in this nation is that there are daily slights, in our workplaces where people talk over you, or people don’t even see you,’ she said.
She provided several examples of those daily slights, showing that even the First Lady has been dismissed and ignored — while living in Washington, D.C. in the White House.
She recalled how several years ago, she, her daughters Sasha and Malia, and her podcast guest Pemberton-Heard went out for ice cream together once after a soccer game while Obama was still President — and a white woman cut right in front of them in line.

01 — Intro. And Radio Derb is on the air! Greetings, ladies and gents, from your critically genial host John Derbyshire, here with VDARE.com's weekly batch of commentary on the news.
It's been an eventful week: a disastrous week for a lot of people down in Louisiana and Texas. I was grumbling three weeks ago about Storm Isaias depriving us of power here on Long Island.
Hurricane Laura down on the Mexican Gulf coast Wednesday was way worse than Isaias. I'm reading about storm surges of twenty feet and half a million people evacuated.
Sympathies from Radio Derb to all afflicted. Listeners who want to help our fellow citizens in distress down there can go to the American Red Cross website and make donations.
And then, there's been all the violence and destruction in Wisconsin. And then, the Republican national convention. Let me take them in that order.
[Permalink]
02 — Revolution. Wisconsin got a visit from the Antifa mob following the shooting in Kenosha on Sunday of a criminal suspect, 29-year-old Jacob Blake, who is black. The cops had been called on Mr Blake for reasons now disputed. He'd arrived at some kind of sidewalk kerfuffle in his car, left the car and got involved somehow, and the cops were called.
Mr Blake, for whom an arrest warrant was out from last month, was so keen not to be arrested, he ignored the orders of the cops, kept moving after being tasered, and reached into his car for something.
The cops naturally feared he was reaching for a gun, so one cop shot him seven times in the back — which, Blake being faced away from him, half in the car fishing for something, was the only place the cop could shoot to disable him.
Mr Blake survived the shooting, but may now be permanently paralyzed. The cop who shot him is white: 31-year-old Rusten Sheskey, a seven-year veteran of the force.
Mr Blake has six children, three of them by a lady named Laquisha Booker. These three were in the car's back seat when he was shot. We haven't been told anything about the other three, or what Mr Blake does for a living.
It's a miserable story, but I can't see, watching the video, how the cops could have acted any differently. Should they have waited to see what Blake was reaching into his car for before shooting him? I wouldn't have.
It's a rough deal for Mr Blake, but his behavior was seriously stupid. In this world, stupidity comes with a price, sometimes a high one. It's a rough deal for his kids, too, there in the back seat of the car seeing him get shot; but that's on him. He should have co-operated with the cops. The misfortune of those kids is to have a wilfully stupid dad with no respect for the law or its enforcement.
To the anarchist mobs and their supporters in the media and establishment this was of course another case of leering Bull Connor-type white racists working their evil will on a helpless black man begging for mercy. Kenosha got the full treatment: burning, looting, and mayhem.
All this in Kenosha, Wisconsin; population 100,000, ten percent black. The anarchists, here as elsewhere, seem to be majority white. Are there really that many rabid, street-fighting anarchists in Kenosha? Probably not: but Chicago is only fifty miles away, and while these mobs are anarchists, modern social media make organization and mobilization irresistibly easy even for anarchists.
There is a nation-wide network of these rioters now, egged on by their supporters in the establishment, in the media and social media, in Hollywood, in the sports world, in the universities. They are enabled by hands-off mayors, governors, DAs and prosecutors.
I am tolerant — more tolerant than most middle-class types, I think — of a certain quantity of disorder in a society. A quality I admire in Americans is our orneriness, our refusal to put up with things that shouldn't be put up with. There are of course lawful ways for us to express our discontents and redress our grievances; but when lawful ways are thwarted by powerful, corrupt interests, some shouting and some breaking of politicians' windows — what Orwell called "turbulence" — is, I believe, excusable.
The anarchists are way, way beyond that level of turbulence now. Abe Greenwald has an opinion column in the September issue of Commentary magazine titled: "Yes, This Is a Revolution." Sample longish quote:
As Thomas Paine said approvingly of France in 1791, [inner quote] "it is the age of revolutions, in which everything may be looked for." [End inner quote.] A mission so grandiose demands the most radical assault on the current order, and changing the world begins with changing one's country. So it was in France in 1789, Russia in 1917, and China in 1949. And this is especially so if one's country is seen as the seat of the present evil and is also the most powerful nation on the planet. This is, then, most fundamentally a revolution against the United States of America and all it stands for.
End quote.
Until recently — until Kenosha, I think — I would have said that's hyperbolic, over-stated, even hysterical. Yet this is Commentary magazine; not exactly a bastion of based Trumpism.
Greenwald in his article refers to, quote, "the killing of George Floyd," as if the case against those Minneapolis police officers has already been tried and adjudicated. All the evidence I've seen suggests that Floyd died of a massive narcotics overdose.
So Greenwald is going along with the woke narrative there like a good neocon cuck; yet even he senses that we have turned some kind of corner.
Me too. I'm persuaded. Yes, it's a revolution. And where there's a revolution, there'll be a counter-revolution.

03 — Counter-revolution. Eight years ago our boss here, Peter Brimelow, wrote that, quote:
Twice in the last year, I have been told, quite casually and spontaneously, by perfectly responsible adults, one an older woman, that all this — America's ongoing immigration crisis and the resultant balkanization — will come to blood.
End quote.
That was at roughly the same point in the 2012 election cycle that we are now at in the 2020 cycle. Barack Obama was elected to his second term a few weeks later, and the healing began … not.
Four and a half years later, after witnessing the massively under-reported (not to mention massively under-prosecuted) disturbances at Donald Trump's inauguration, Peter was persuaded. Quote:
We're facing what was called in the case of the Civil War an irrepressible conflict.
But this is America. People have guns. It will come to blood.
End quote.
So it has. Up to this week, however, guns have not been much in evidence; and the blood shed has been that of people who tried to stand up to the anarchist mobs — people like Adam Haner, kicked in the head by an anarchist in Portland on August 16th, or retired police officer David Dorn, shot dead by a looter during anarchist riots in St Louis, June 2nd.
This week we saw the beginnings of counter-revolutionary violence. Monday this week there was shooting at anarchists marching from Milwaukee to Washington, D.C. As they passed through Bedford, Pa. (population around 2,600), there was an exchange of gunfire. One of the anarchists took birdshot in the arm. It's not clear who started the shooting.
Then on Tuesday night three anarchists were shot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, two of them fatally, by 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, using an AR-15 rifle. According to the New York Times investigation, the sequence of events in outline was, to enumerate:
Kyle Rittenhouse was one of a group of citizens guarding a car dealership against the mob.
He wandered away for some reason. When he tried to return, police prevented him. He turned and headed to a different car dealership.
Some anarchists saw him and started chasing him.
One of the anarchists fired a shot in the air. Rittenhouse turned; an anarchist lunged at him; Rittenhouse fired four shots, one of them hitting 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum in the head.
Rittenhouse tried to make a phone call, then ran off with the mob at his heels. He tripped and fell.
The mob, whooping and hollering, converged on him. Twenty-six-year-old Anthony Huber attacked him with a skateboard. Rittenhouse, still on the ground, shot him in the chest.
Gaige Grosskreutz, also aged 26, pointed a handgun at Rittenhouse, who was still on the ground. Rittenhouse shot him in the arm.
End enumeration.
That account, I repeat, is one I took from a published report by employees at the New York Times. Given the total control of the Times by its woke staffers, as illustrated in the Tom Cotton / James Bennet affair back in June, I'm guessing those employees will soon be ex-employees, and whichever editor saw their findings into print will be an ex-editor.
It so happens that I spent midday Wednesday at my local range, re-learning for the fifteen-hundredth time what a lousy shot I am with a rifle. Back home that evening, watching the video clips then being posted of Rittenhouse shooting Huber and Grosskreutz, I confess that my first reaction was: "Nice shooting!"
I mean, Rittenhouse was sprawled on the ground in an awkward posture and, I am sure, scared out of his wits. He none the less got off four shots, killing one anarchist and badly winging another. All right, the range was close, but I'm still impressed.
The local judicial authorities, like their counterparts in Minnesota, Oregon, Washington State, and pretty much everywhere else, are on the side of the revolutionaries. They have smiled on benignly at the rioting, looting, and arson, but have thrown the book at young Kyle Rittenhouse.
For fatally shooting Rosenbaum in the head, Rittenhouse has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide. For fatally shooting Huber in the chest, first-degree intentional homicide. There's a charge of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, which I guess is for winging Grosskreutz when Grosskreutz was trying to shoot him.
There are also some lesser charges — two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety — just in case the more serious ones can't be made to stick, which of course they shouldn't be.
I bet they will be, though. Our woke prosecutors and judges are merciless with counter-revolutionaries. Young Kyle will likely end up with four hundred years in jail, like James Fields.
Still, the counter-revolution is under way, and these were its first shots. As a peace-loving patriot, I wish I could believe they'll be the last. I truly wish I could; but I can't.

04 — The GOP convenes. The week's other headliner has been the Republican Party's nominating convention. To nobody's surprise at all, they nominated Donald Trump and Mike Pence to second terms as President and Vice-President.
As with the Democrat's convention the week before, this one had to be staged with proper regard to the coronavirus pandemic. So, no crowded convention hall with state delegations waving their banners, for the most part only disjointed clips of worthy Republicans pitching the case for Trump and Pence to empty or social-distancing halls, or just TV cameras.
I'll confess I didn't watch much of it. I have a low threshold of tolerance for political boosterism, even from politicians I plan to vote for. My version of journalistic due diligence here was to read about each evening's proceedings in the following morning's copy of the New York Post. You may grumble that a media outlet with the worldwide influence of Radio Derb should have applied a bit more effort, but … I didn't.
From what I did watch, I must say, I thought the production values were very good. Although I didn't like everything that was presented — as I'll explain in more length in the next segment but one — the whole thing was beautifully made, much better than last week's Democrat show.
That's not blind partisanship speaking. In common with many, many other Republican voters — including the millions who pushed Donald Trump through the 2016 primaries in the teeth of opposition from Rubio, Kasich, Jeb Bush, Huckabee, and the rest — in common with those voters, I don't much like the Republican Party, and positively loathe quite a lot of their leading figures. I've often found myself thinking that if the U.S.A. is to have any kind of future, we need to smash the Republican Party to pieces.
So no, not blind partisanship, just appreciation for a job well done by the RNC. And also a lurking feeling — call me a cockeyed optimist, but it's only a feeling — that the fact of this having been so well done suggests that Trumpism may have a foothold in the Party.
I doubt it's much more than that: Institutional Republicanism is decades old and deeply entrenched. Still, I'm a tad more hopeful than I was a week ago that Trumpism may have a future, with the GOP as its home.
When I said that to Peter Brimelow, Peter observed that there were no Bushes in evidence at the convention. Not Bushes as in leafy plants, Bushes as in George W. and Jeb. I think that's right, and it strengthens my optimism. Even if I'm wrong and the GOP is not turning towards Trumpism, it's at least turning away from Bushism.
OK, convention highs and lows. I'll present them, as best I can judge them, in two segments. First the highs.
[Permalink]
05 — Convention high points. Here are the high points, according to me.
High points: Monday. Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St Louis couple who stood outside their home with guns to deter an anarchist mob advancing on it. The McCloskeys came across very well, I thought. They seem like normal people: which, after last week's Democratic Party circus, was refreshing.
Their appearance was also a good and necessary reminder that a Joe Biden Presidency would put our Second Amendment rights in dire peril. It was reading about the McCloskeys on Tuesday morning, in fact, that prompted me to go to the range on Wednesday. Thanks for the prompt, guys.
High points: Tuesday. Nicholas Sandmann, the Covington High School student who has successfully sued CNN and the Washington Post for defamation. Did CNN cover his appearance? If they did, you must have been able to hear their teeth gnashing in the background.
Also on Tuesday: First Lady Melania Trump. The New York Post put Melania on its front cover, but didn't actually report much of the content of her speech, so I watched it on the internet. Very well-phrased and well-delivered, for someone not a political or showbiz professional.
I'm a bit skeptical of the First Lady's claims to fluency in French, German, and Italian; but her English is just fine, and I assume her Slovenian is, too; so she's fluent in one more language than I am.
High points: Wednesday. Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng, a man of extraordinary courage and integrity, gave a two-and-a-half-minute speech Wednesday evening. Chen escaped from China eight years ago — with help from the Obama administration, as all the news media made a careful point of telling us.
Chen's address was short because his English is less than fluent, although better than my Chinese. There are excellent reasons for that: Chen didn't learn English until middle age, and he's been blind since infancy.
Chen offered a welcome reminder of the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Chinese communists, and the way they treat the bravest and best of their citizens. That said, I confess to doubts about the wisdom of the U.S.A. forming a multinational coalition to confront the ChiComs, as Chen proposed.
I'm well acquainted with the dire state of human rights in China — and in many other places, too. However, the U.S. government exists to preserve the rights and interests of Americans, not to go off crusading on behalf of other people's rights and interests.
We should speak up, we should encourage, and we should honor brave dissidents like Chen Guangcheng; but liberty and rational government in China are for the Chinese people themselves to attain. As for a multinational coalition: small prospect. Too many nations have been bought off by the ChiComs.
High points:Thursday. Trump, of course, and the big show at the White House. He's the President; I voted for him in '16 and I'll vote for him again in November. I have never heard him say anything memorable or interesting, though, so I passed on the speech.
I think I did the right thing. There was pretty general agreement that Trump's speech, at over an hour, was way too long. Even Michael Goodwin, Trump's strongest supporter at the New York Post, conceded that the thing got no points for style.
The President did, though, remind us that he had personally scotched the plan by the Tennessee Valley Authority to bring in cheap foreign employees on guest-worker visas and fire a corresponding number of American workers, after first making the Americans train their replacements on pain of no severance pay. I'll thank him for that.
One more high point from Thursday evening's show: the opera singer Christopher Macchio, singing from the Blue Room balcony of the White House. He gave us some lovely songs, including a stirring "Nessun dorma." After the event, Macchio tweeted that, tweet:
What President Trump & the 1st family did for me tonight is something I'll never forget. They stood & listened in regal nobility as I performed with tremendous love & pride in my heart for a nation grateful for their commitment to saving our culture & way of life.
End tweet.
"Our culture & way of life," yes! Who did the Democrats have to sing out their convention — Cardi B, was it? I forget.
[Permalink]
06 — Convention low points. Now here are the low points, again according to me.
Low points: Monday. I groaned a bit to see Nikki Haley given a speaking spot. Did I speak earlier about entrenched institutional Republicanism? Did I mention John Kasich and Jeb Bush? I think I did; and that's the lunch table Nikki Haley belongs at.
Still, I'll make allowances. Identity-wise, if they have a lady of Indian parentage, I guess we have to have one, too.
And Haley's speech wasn't bad. I winced at the line: "Of course we value and respect every Black life." The dreadful thought crossed my mind that she would then up and say: "Yes! Black lives matter!" She didn't, though, and for this relief much thanks.
Low points: Tuesday. Tuesday was a bit of a cuckfest. Trump pardoned, there on-screen, a convicted bank robber who found religion and has been doing good works. I'm happy for the guy and don't much mind the pardon, but I don't think this belonged at the convention.
What's it supposed to tell prospective voters: that a Trump administration will be nice to bank robbers? Is that really a vote-winner?
Then the President staged a naturalization ceremony for five immigrants. Their home countries were: Ghana, Sudan, Lebanon, Bolivia, and India. With the just-possible exception of the Bolivian guy, none of them was white. So this feature, and probably the bank robber too, were all to tell us that the President is not a racist.
Hoo-kay. Could someone please tell our President about the Sailer Strategy?
Low points: Wednesday. Nothing very objectionable this evening, but I winced again to see Lara Trump, the President's daughter-in-law, as a speaker. There were way too many Trumps speaking at the convention. The President, sure; and the First Lady, no problem; but the rest of them, I don't trust. Indeed, I don't actually trust the President unreservedly.
Leave 'em at home, Mr President.
Low points: Thursday. Again with the relatives, this time Ivanka. I've heard whispers that Ivanka has political ambitions — as an institutional Republican, of course, not a Trumpist.
Ivanka spoke for eighteen minutes. Did we really need that much of an introduction to your dad, honey?
I couldn't face listening to the whole thing, but I did eyeball the transcript. I also, just from habit, did a Ctrl-F on "immigr," but of course there were no hits. Indeed, aside from that one worthy boast of the President's about stomping on the Tennessee Valley Authority, the entire convention had nothing to tell us about the prospects for real action on immigration. As for an immigration moratorium … In our dreams!
The convention managers may have inflicted Ivanka and a whole battalion of other secondary Trumps on us, but I'll thank them at least for not giving a speaking spot to Jared Kushner.
Was that because the RNC suits know that ninety-five percent of Republican voters can't stand the sight of Jared, and spit at the mention of his name? I hope so.

07 — Miscellany. And now, our closing miscellany of brief items.
Imprimis: This one was hard to resist.
Minneapolis has, as we all know, endured weeks of rioting, arson, and looting, with whole streets of the city's business district reduced to rubble.
Surviving businesses in the city would like to protect themselves; but how best to do it? Well, one way would be to cover their store wondows with steel shutters, as is done in crime-prone districts all over America — indeed, all over the world. When you close up the business at night, you pull down the shutters. It's an ordinary and obvious security measure.
Well, not in Minneapolis it isn't. A Minneapolis city ordinance, in place since 2004, forbids the use of shutters, apparently because they are unsightly.
Business owners have been pleading with the city to rescind the ordinance, but with no success. Those darn shutters are unsightly. Oh sure: entire blocks of smoking rubble are unsightly, too. They were burned out by Black Lives Matter rioters, though, and that's a righteous cause, so no problem there.
Quote from the Free Beacon, quote:
Business owners are rethinking placing trust in the government to protect their property.
Protect your own damn property, ya stinking capitalists. Not with armed force, though: If you try that, the city authorities will come down on you like a ton of bricks.
[Permalink]
Item: Story here from Politico.com, August 27th, opening paragraph, quote:
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is poised to endorse nearly two dozen freshmen House Democrats for reelection, triggering a revolt within the right-leaning organization and drawing fierce pushback from the group's powerful GOP donors.
End quote.
Amazing. So the nation's leading lobby for cheap foreign labor, both legal and illegal, is turning away from the GOP towards the Democrats. What's up with that?
Could it be that the Chamber of Commerce likes Joe Biden's talk of mass amnesty and open borders? Could it? Nah, surely not. Can't be … no way …
[Permalink]
Item: I passed some comment a couple of weeks ago about facial recognition software, which is much more powerful than most people realise. Well, here's a new frontier in that technology: facial recognition for animals.
Yes, it's a thing, although so far I think only in China. Meet Zhao Jinshi, a graduate of Cornell University and founder of Beijing Unitrace Tech, a company developing software for the agriculture industry. Quote from him:
We've been using it for sheep, pigs and cows. For pigs, it's more difficult because pigs all look the same, but dairy cows are a bit special because they are black and white and have different shapes.
End quote.
I think that's a slur on the porcine community. They all look the same? Are we still allowed to say that, even in relation to pigs?
And now I come to think of it, there's an old joke about New Zealanders and their sheep that fits nicely here. It's too indelicate for a family show, though, so I'll leave you to look it up if you're inclined.
[Permalink]
08 — Signoff. That's all I have, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for listening; and again, if you want to help the folk down in Louisiana left homeless by Hurricane Laura, look up the American Red Cross website and give what you can.
OK, some signoff music. Englishman Julian Bream died August 14th. He was 87 years old. That's a pretty good innings; but, of course, proper condolences to his loved ones.
Bream was a guitarist — classical, not rock'n'roll. That's not what I personally remember him for, though. As well as the guitar, he also played the lute. Back in my student days there was a minor fad in the educated classes of Britain for Julian Bream's lute music. I rather liked it in small doses: not enough to buy an LP myself, but half the people I knew owned one, and it's a tiny part of the background music to my wasted youth.
So here to see us out, in tribute to a dedicated master of his craft, is Julian Bream playing a piece by the 16th-century English composer John Dowland. The piece is titled "Loth to Departe," which of course I am …
… But there will be more from Radio Derb next week.

It is organized around a few general if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ justify the mass murder of whites .
For example : • Thanks to greater melanin content , every black is superior to all whites in every way—morally , intellectually , physically , aesthetically , culturally , etc .
; • Blacks must have their own system of laws and rules—Civil Rights laws , Hate Crime laws , and Affirmative Action rules—that supersede the laws and rules which normal whites must obey .
This system must be continuously enforced , reinforced , and expanded ( I wrote this over ten years before Christopher Caldwell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ broken any laws must be arrested , simply because they are white ( see the Duke Rape Hoax and the Jena Hoax ) ; • Blacks must “ take back ” what they are “ owed.

• Every white , for all time , is responsible for any single injustice ever committed by any white against any black ; conversely , no black is responsible for any injustices ever committed by any black against any white ; I believe it ’ s a short step from this unofficial yet ruthlessly-enforced Black Supremacist orthodoxy to exterminating whites who frustrate black ambitions , whatever those ambitions might be .
Still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to BLM right along with the Democratic Party , which lost its mind in the late 1960s [ Legislative Republican leaders agree with Black Lives Matter protesters , by Melanie Conklin , Wisconsin Examiner , June 28 , 2020 ] .

I guesstimate that at most 95 percent are .

Throughout the 16 (!) years I’ve been writing for VDARE.com, Editor Peter Brimelow has routinely struck out my references to “black supremacism.” (Here’s one he missed!) His rationale: readers wouldn’t understand the term; and it seemed a rather grandiose explanation for black behavior. (But Paul Kersey agreed with me. And Steve Sailer got away with calling it “black megalomania”). Now, with the Black Lives Matter blood libel against White America literally running riot, Peter has given up.

Part of our disagreement was certainly due to the fact that Peter grew up culturally deprived in England, whereas I am a kid from New York City’s vibrant Outer Boroughs.
In late 1972, during my brief tenure as token white in a small vibrant (well, black) street gang, led by Allan “Poncho” Hankins, one member, John Henry Wright, once told me:
“All the white people gon’ die.”
N.S.: "Even me?"
JHW: “Even you, Stix.”
When Poncho began telling me, “You our slave,” cheating me out of shoplifting proceeds, and telling me that he and John Henry were going to afflict me with horrific beatings, I ran away.
When I participated, as a token white, in the initially black nationalist, federally funded Youth Justice Program (1974-1976), I survived occasional murder attempts by kids whose names I still remember: Ricky Booker, “Bo Diddly,” Johnnie Wilson.

Founded in Detroit about 1930, NOI was the brainchild of an illiterate conman, drug addict, drug pusher, restaurant manager, and seller of fabrics whose real name is buried under a pile of aliases. Wallace Dodd Ford, right, better known as Wali Fard Muhammad (1886-unknown), may not even have had a drop of black blood coursing through his veins; one theory is that he was a South Asian.
After one of his Detroit followers ritually slaughtered a black man, Fard vanished. His closest follower, Elijah Pool, aka Elijah Poole, aka Min. Elijah Muhammad, led the movement to Chicago, which he renamed “New Mecca.”
Like its predecessors, NOI believes in a coming White Holocaust. But, unlike them, NOI has actually murdered more than 90 whites, and injured and raped many more, to help bring it about [Updated List of Nation of Islam Attacks on Whites, by Nicholas Stix, The Zebra Project, August 15, 2020].
Similarly, Cleaver’s Panthers murdered no fewer than 11 policemen between 1967-1981. A spinoff, the Black Liberation Army, which considered the Panthers insufficiently radical, slaughtered at least 10 cops.
The latest incarnation of the Black Supremacist movement is, of course, Black Lives Matter, a full-on Marxist operation that even uses the Communist clenched fist logo, albeit a black clenched fist. It is organized around a few general if unstated principles that will, eventually, justify the mass murder of whites. For example:
I believe it’s a short step from this unofficial yet ruthlessly-enforced Black Supremacist orthodoxy to exterminating whites who frustrate black ambitions, whatever those ambitions might be.
Still, Ruling Class Republicans are singing hosannas to BLM right along with the Democratic Party, which lost its mind in the late 1960s [Legislative Republican leaders agree with Black Lives Matter protesters, by Melanie Conklin, Wisconsin Examiner, June 28, 2020].
Fear not—not all blacks are black supremacists. I guesstimate that at most 95 percent are.

If white people are responsible for the state and quality of life for non-white people, logically then all white people must be punished for this sin.
Right?
Because ultimately the phrase “Black Lives Matter” logically means “White Lives Don’t Matter.”
Aurora Police arrested a man suspected of stabbing another man after yelling “Black lives matter” Tuesday evening near East Alameda Avenue and South Sable Boulevard.
Steve Sinclair, 30, now faces potential first-degree murder and hate crime charges, documents show.
An arrest affidavit says Sinclair used a knife to stab 29-year-old Michael Conner who was transported to the hospital for his injuries and a collapsed lung. Conner, a white male, told police while at the hospital that Sinclair, a Black male, shouted “Black lives matter!” prior to stabbing him, according to the report.

Characters in Tom Wolfe books are always reacting like Anderson Cooper does to Jacob Blake’s father’s response, “I hate Brussels sprouts.” For example, here’s the end of Wolfe’s 1970 book Mau-Mauing the Flak-Catchers about Black Power in San Francisco:
It wasn’t long before an enterprising brother named Ronnie started his own group, The New Thang.
“The New Thang?” said Mayor Alioto, after they had put in their own unique and confounding appearance at City Hall.
“That’s right, The New Thang.”
The Mayor looked wigged out, as if the lights had gone out in his skull.
“Thang,” said Ronnie. “That’s Thing in African.”
“Oh,” said the Mayor. There wasn’t even the faintest shade of meaning in his voice.
