During the Summer of George Floyd rage, we’ve seen multiple anti-white attacks by blacks across the USA. There has been virtually zero national media coverage of this events.

State Bureau of Investigation Agent Vincent Cunningham testified to the chain of events that happened that day. He said he arrived at the I-59/20 scene about 6:15 a.m. to find Summers on her back and covered up near her tractor-trailer with multiple other law enforcement agencies on site, including the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Alabama State Troopers and Hueytown police.

“She never came back to the phone,” Cunningham testified.
Gipson was taken into custody about 4:30 a.m. by Hueytown police after they had received calls of an unclothed Black male in the roadway. Cunningham testified that arresting officers reported that Gipson was sweating profusely and made “spontaneous” statements about “killing a white woman” and that President Trump had made him do it. Gipson’s right fist was bruised, cut and bleeding and the paramedic who treated him at the scene also reported Gipson making the same statements.
When Hueytown officers tried to move Gipson from a padded cell to an interview room to speak with SBI agents, testimony showed, he fought and injured the two officers – Cpl. Alex Humphries and Officer Justin Hickey. The struggle left Humphries with a black eye and Hickey with a bloodied nose. Gipson is charged with second-degree assault in the attack on the two officers. Humphries testified that Gipson said, “I’m going to kill you,” and “I’m not going to prison.”
Hickey said Gipson “seemed to be very disgruntled with our race…as a white person, he felt we were there to hurt him,” he said under cross examination by Revill. Hickey said Gipson called them “white mfers” and “said he wanted to kill us.”
Because of the incident, Cunningham could not interview Gipson until the following day. When he did, the agent testified, Gipson told him that somebody named Drew made him strip and took his clothes. Cunningham said they have never corroborated the existence of “Drew.”
Gipson did not tell Cunningham he had killed anyone and said that he injured his fist punching the wall during an argument with his girlfriend. His girlfriend’s mother, who Cunningham said would not allow the investigator into her home, said Gipson did punch a wall but said he wasn’t bleeding from that incident.
Investigators recovered a palm print from the victim’s tractor-trailer that matched Gipson, Cunningham said. Detectives have taken Gipson’s DNA to see if it matched forensic evidence – including blood spatter from Summers’ shirt – but said the results are still in the testing phase. Gipson’s clothing was never recovered. He still had his cell phone with him, however, when he was arrested.

John Derbyshire: Give Us Liberty Or Give Us Artificial Intelligence Victory Over China? I Choose Liberty

Earlier ( 2011 ) : John Derbyshire On Understanding China And The Chinese [ Excerpted from the latest Radio Derb , now available exclusively through VDARE.com ] Having been writing about China for forty years , I was naturally interested to see what Trump and Biden had to say about the country in last Thursday ’ s debate .

For a clue to my frame of mind here I refer you to David Goldman 's October 19th article at Asia Times : Covid-19 Launches The Fourth Industrial Revolution .
Goldman describes in detail how the ChiComs have used the pandemic to advance their lead in AI ( Artificial Intelligence ) .
He concludes : Computer science could not have devised a more useful dataset for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Covid-19 virus .
The exercise requires sophisticated real-time management of datasets involving impossibly large numbers of individual observations , and the ability to correlate locational , medical and demographic data with population sampling through forensic tests .
AI helped control the pandemic , but the pandemic gave Chinese AI an unprecedented push forward .
The West has n't even begun to address the problem .
And that is the most troubling observation of all .
There is much more to be said about that .
Goldman 's observations agree with what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keeps in touch with her family and friends in China through social media .
Yes , they tell us : Anywhere they go their movements , contacts , temperature , and other health indices are constantly monitored and scanned .

Answer: nothing with any real insight or understanding. There was a lot of back and forth about whether this guy or the other guy was taking money from the ChiComs; then some bluster from both candidates about how tough they have been with China.

Goldman describes in detail how the ChiComs have used the pandemic to advance their lead in AI (Artificial Intelligence). He concludes:
Computer science could not have devised a more useful dataset for the development of AI than the propagation of the Covid-19 virus. The exercise requires sophisticated real-time management of datasets involving impossibly large numbers of individual observations, and the ability to correlate locational, medical and demographic data with population sampling through forensic tests. AI helped control the pandemic, but the pandemic gave Chinese AI an unprecedented push forward. The West hasn't even begun to address the problem. And that is the most troubling observation of all.
There is much more to be said about that. Goldman's observations agree with what I hear from my wife, who keeps in touch with her family and friends in China through social media.

Should we, like David Goldman, find this "troubling"? Well, yes, but with qualifications.
If, as Goldman argues, Big Data joined with AI is a "Fourth Industrial Revolution," and if China is steaming ahead of us in those fields, then the U.S.A. will soon, for the first time in living memory—for the first time in 150 years, I think—be a second-rate technological power.

David Goldman is right none the less. China is roaring ahead of us into that Fourth Industrial Revolution, and we will become a second-rate technological power. That may not be a disaster, and I don't myself mind it if it's the price of keeping our liberties; but it will need some big adjustments that our leaders show no signs they are prepared for.
In military matters, for example. If I had been moderating Thursday's debate, here's a question I would have put to both candidates.
China's saber-rattling towards Taiwan has been getting louder and louder in recent months. There is a probability that the next President will, at some point in his four years in office, be confronted by a Chinese military assault on Taiwan. Based on your understanding of the situation there, what is your estimate of that probability? Twenty percent? Fifty percent? Ninety percent? How should the U.S.A. respond to such an assault?
I'll just add as a footnote that David Goldman has a new book out, title You Will Be Assimilated: China's Plan to Sino-form the World.
I recommend it. The thirty-page appendix is worth the book's price all by itself.

Commentarial opinion has been sharply divided .
On one side of the cleavage , there 's a Grundy faction saying that as Prime Minister , Ms Marin should attend to the dignity of her office and not distract us with her secondary sexual characteristics .
The more easy-going faction to which I belong counters that politicians take themselves far too seriously , so that any trace of normal human impulses , like a young woman showing off her bristols , is welcome relief .
For commentary on this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out Ed Dutton , the Jolly Heretic , who is a very occasional VDARE.com contributor .

Ms Marin makes no attempt to hide those charms. Just recently she did a photo shoot for a fashion magazine. In one picture she was wearing a very low-cut jacket, cut low enough to tell us that (a) she was not wearing a bra, and (b) has small but well-formed breasts.
Commentarial opinion has been sharply divided.

vdare--2020-10-24--Suggestion For The British Government: House Illegal Immigrants In Prison Hulks

Here 's suggestion , offered in a constructive spirit , to the British government .
Britain is currently being invaded by illegal aliens from Africa and the Middle East crossing the English Channel from France in small boats .
Numbers this year already exceed seven and a half thousand—more than four times the number for the whole of last year .
There 's speculation that this year 's total will pass ten thousand .
The British government , which takes orders from open-borders globalists , is trying hard to ignore the issue , but public anger is rising .
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to France—a perfectly safe country , of course—but the French wo n't take them .
They ca n't be repatriated because they destroy their identity documents in mid-voyage , so no-one knows where any particular invader should be repatriated to .
Until recently the government has been putting up these invaders in hotels while it dithers about what to do with them .
Now they 've run out of hotel space , and are starting to use old army bases .
The invaders make a nuisance of themselves to local people , though @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of course mostly young men .
It 's getting to be a major issue .
So here 's my constructive suggestion : hulks .
No , not green-skinned mutants with over-developed musculature .
I mean hulks as in prison ships : vessels retired from the Royal Navy , permanently anchored along the banks of the River Thames and at seaports like Plymouth .
From the 1770s to the 1850s hulks were used in place of jails .
One of my great-great-grandfathers served seven years on the hulks back in the 1840s `` for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''
I dare say accommodations on the hulks were less than ideal ; but at least the inmates could n't harass law-abiding citizens .
Out of sight , out of mind .

Here's suggestion, offered in a constructive spirit, to the British government.
Britain is currently being invaded by illegal aliens from Africa and the Middle East crossing the English Channel from France in small boats. Numbers this year already exceed seven and a half thousand—more than four times the number for the whole of last year. There's speculation that this year's total will pass ten thousand.
Worrying. Who are these people? You wouldn’t let a complete stranger into your home, so why your country? > More than 7,500 migrants have crossed the Channel this year. https://t.co/JAghAsByUC — Dominic Farrell (@DominicFarrell) October 20, 2020
The British government, which takes orders from open-borders globalists, is trying hard to ignore the issue, but public anger is rising. There have been demands to return the invaders to France—a perfectly safe country, of course—but the French won't take them. They can't be repatriated because they destroy their identity documents in mid-voyage, so no-one knows where any particular invader should be repatriated to.
Until recently the government has been putting up these invaders in hotels while it dithers about what to do with them. Now they've run out of hotel space, and are starting to use old army bases. The invaders make a nuisance of themselves to local people, though, especially women — these invaders are of course mostly young men. It's getting to be a major issue.
So here's my constructive suggestion: hulks. No, not green-skinned mutants with over-developed musculature. I mean hulks as in prison ships: vessels retired from the Royal Navy, permanently anchored along the banks of the River Thames and at seaports like Plymouth. From the 1770s to the 1850s hulks were used in place of jails. One of my great-great-grandfathers served seven years on the hulks back in the 1840s "for stealing 3 hen fowls & 20 chickens."
I dare say accommodations on the hulks were less than ideal; but at least the inmates couldn't harass law-abiding citizens. Out of sight, out of mind.


vdare--2020-10-24--TIME Magazine Wants Your Dog To Die Because Veterinarians Are "Too White"

See also The Racial Reckoning Comes for the Veterinarians The war on all professions/vocations/avocations that are deemed “ too white ” is nothing more than racism by any other name .
At this point , the war on whiteness is nothing more than an admission by the elites manufacturing public opinion that they want your dog to die .
Why ?
Because veterinarians are “ too white.
” As a child , Tierra Price was mesmerized by Dr. Dolittle , portrayed by Eddie Murphy in the 1998 film—not only because he could talk to dogs and sad circus tigers , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ color who treated animals .
“ That resonated deeply with me , ” says Price , who wore an oversized white coat and carried around a stuffed Dalmatian for her first-grade career day .
“ I grew up thinking that I was going to be one of the first Black veterinarians because I had never seen any , ” says Price , now 26 .
There were no Black doctors at vet clinics near her Louisville , Ky. home or at the local animal shelter where she volunteered .
Price didn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she was 19 and participating in a veterinary program for minority undergraduates .
By the time she started veterinary school , she felt like an outcast .
In 2018 , Price created an online networking group for Black vets just to connect and commiserate with people who looked like her .
“ I was going into a profession I didn ’ t really belong in , ” she says .
Years later , not much has changed .
Veterinarians are projected to be among the most in-demand workers in the next decade .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ pets , the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ( BLS ) predicts jobs for vets and vet technicians will grow 16 % by 2029 .
Nearly 65 % of white households have pets , 61 % of Hispanic households have pets , and almost 37 % of Black households have pets , according to the most recent industry data .
Yet pet lovers are faced with a predominantly white world once it ’ s time to see a vet .
Of the more than 104,000 veterinarians in the nation , nearly 90 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are Hispanic and almost none are Black , according to 2019 BLS figures .
This spring , Kimberley Glover spent nearly two months searching for a Black veterinarian in Birmingham , Ala. , to care for her 2-year-old puppy Stokely—named after civil rights activist Stokely Carmichael—and to serve as a role model for her two children , who attend predominantly white schools .
After scouring the internet and Facebook groups for Black pet owners , she finally received a suggestion from a college classmate , but the clinic was too far away .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , honestly , ” says Glover , 46 .
“ It just tells me there ’ s more work to do.
” Price , who graduated from the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine in May and is now a veterinarian in Los Angeles , agrees .
“ We have so much catching up to do , ” she says .
Stark disparities have permeated the vet world for decades , advocates say , long before George Floyd ’ s death in May sparked a national movement for racial justice .
In 2013 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ America .
“ It has always been a problem , ” says Annie J. Daniel , who founded the nonprofit National Association for Black Veterinarians ( NABV ) .
“ This was just the wake-up call.
” Despite youth outreach efforts at schools and community partnerships to grow the number of Black veterinarians , the group has barely moved the needle since it was formed in 2016 .
In fact , the number of Black vets dropped from 2.1 % of the total vet population in 2016 to below 1 % in 2019 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to systemic racism .
“ In this day and time , you don ’ t stay that way unless you ’ re ignorant to the fact that diversity is good , ” Daniel says .
“ Or , ” she adds , “ you just don ’ t care that you ’ re purposefully omitting a group of people.
” Anything deemed “ too white ” must be immediately crushed under the burden of our “ purported ” greatest strength — diversity .
Quite a paradox , isn ’ t it ?
Vocations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alive are “ too white , ” and thus must be undone , regardless of the consequences .
No one ever bothers to ask why our most essential vocations have a dearth of blacks… it ’ s just immoral for a profession/vocation/avocation to be “ too white .
”

The war on all professions/vocations/avocations that are deemed “too white” is nothing more than racism by any other name.
At this point, the war on whiteness is nothing more than an admission by the elites manufacturing public opinion that they want your dog to die.
Why? Because veterinarians are “too white.”
As a child, Tierra Price was mesmerized by Dr. Dolittle, portrayed by Eddie Murphy in the 1998 film—not only because he could talk to dogs and sad circus tigers, but because he was a person of color who treated animals. “That resonated deeply with me,” says Price, who wore an oversized white coat and carried around a stuffed Dalmatian for her first-grade career day. “I grew up thinking that I was going to be one of the first Black veterinarians because I had never seen any,” says Price, now 26.
There were no Black doctors at vet clinics near her Louisville, Ky. home or at the local animal shelter where she volunteered. Price didn’t see her first real Black veterinarian until she was 19 and participating in a veterinary program for minority undergraduates. By the time she started veterinary school, she felt like an outcast. In 2018, Price created an online networking group for Black vets just to connect and commiserate with people who looked like her. “I was going into a profession I didn’t really belong in,” she says. Years later, not much has changed. Veterinarians are projected to be among the most in-demand workers in the next decade. As more people of all races own pets, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts jobs for vets and vet technicians will grow 16% by 2029. Nearly 65% of white households have pets, 61% of Hispanic households have pets, and almost 37% of Black households have pets, according to the most recent industry data. Yet pet lovers are faced with a predominantly white world once it’s time to see a vet. Of the more than 104,000 veterinarians in the nation, nearly 90% are white, less than 2% are Hispanic and almost none are Black, according to 2019 BLS figures. This spring, Kimberley Glover spent nearly two months searching for a Black veterinarian in Birmingham, Ala., to care for her 2-year-old puppy Stokely—named after civil rights activist Stokely Carmichael—and to serve as a role model for her two children, who attend predominantly white schools. After scouring the internet and Facebook groups for Black pet owners, she finally received a suggestion from a college classmate, but the clinic was too far away. “I have given up the search, honestly,” says Glover, 46. “It just tells me there’s more work to do.” Price, who graduated from the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine in May and is now a veterinarian in Los Angeles, agrees. “We have so much catching up to do,” she says. Stark disparities have permeated the vet world for decades, advocates say, long before George Floyd’s death in May sparked a national movement for racial justice. In 2013, the profession was dubbed the whitest in America. “It has always been a problem,” says Annie J. Daniel, who founded the nonprofit National Association for Black Veterinarians (NABV). “This was just the wake-up call.” Despite youth outreach efforts at schools and community partnerships to grow the number of Black veterinarians, the group has barely moved the needle since it was formed in 2016. In fact, the number of Black vets dropped from 2.1% of the total vet population in 2016 to below 1% in 2019, which Daniel says is largely due to systemic racism. “In this day and time, you don’t stay that way unless you’re ignorant to the fact that diversity is good,” Daniel says. “Or,” she adds, “you just don’t care that you’re purposefully omitting a group of people.”
Anything deemed “too white” must be immediately crushed under the burden of our “purported” greatest strength — diversity. Quite a paradox, isn’t it? Vocations keeping our nation safe or our pets alive are “too white,” and thus must be undone, regardless of the consequences.
No one ever bothers to ask why our most essential vocations have a dearth of blacks… it’s just immoral for a profession/vocation/avocation to be “too white.”

vdare--2020-10-23--ANOTHER Puerto Rico Statehood Referendum On The Ballot For November 3rd—"Sixth Time’s a Charm?"

In addition to the presidential and congressional elections , November 3rd is also the scheduled date for yet another referendum in Puerto Rico on the island 's future .
This referendum is a straight up or down Si or No : `` ¿Debe Puerto Rico ser admitido inmediatamente dentro de la Unión como un Estado ? ''
In English that 's `` Should Puerto Rico be admitted immediately into the Union as a State ? ''
Non-binding or not , a yes vote would create momentum to make Puerto Rico a state , under the arguments of democracy and self-determination @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the whole truth about the two previous referendums : This is highly deceptive .
The majority of Puerto Rican voters have never voted for statehood .
The 2012 referendum was a two-part ballot , and the anti-statehood Partido Popular Democrático de Puerto Rico ( PPD ) instructed its followers to leave the second segment blank , which means the majority of those voting did not vote for statehood .
In the 2017 referendum , statehood `` won '' by 97 % but the anti-statehood parties boycotted the election , in which only 23 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
To repeat , the majority of Puerto Rican voters have never voted for statehood .
But even if they did , do Americans have any say in the matter ?
That 's why they want it .
We have quite enough swing states , thank you .
Sounds like a dream come true for the Democrats .
Proponents of statehood say it ’ s the only way to give Puerto Ricans a voice , vote and equal footing in federal assistance programs .
Critics say it would mean increased federal taxes and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ culture -- without necessarily solving any of its pressing problems .
Polls show Pierluisi is in a tight race with Carlos Delgado Altieri , of the Popular Democratic Party , or PPD , which opposes statehood .
That means there ’ s a real chance that voters may choose statehood even as they elect an anti-statehood candidate , as they did during the 2012 referendum and election .
And there are also no guarantees that the U.S. Congress -- regardless of who ’ s in control -- will embrace the Caribbean island as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when Hawaii and Alaska were incorporated .

Earlier, 2019: Bipartisan, Meaning "Stupid AND Evil," Puerto Rico Statehood Bill Introduced In Congress
In addition to the presidential and congressional elections, November 3rd is also the scheduled date for yet another referendum in Puerto Rico on the island's future.
From Bloomberg:
When Puerto Ricans go to the polls Nov. 3 to elect their governor they’ll also be asked, once again, if they want to be the 51st star on the American flag. The statehood referendum in the bankrupt territory of 3.2 million people is non-binding. And although this is the sixth time the issue has been on the ballot, boosters think this round is different -- if the political stars align. [Sixth Time’s a Charm? Puerto Ricans Vote on Statehood Once Again by Jim Wyss and Michelle Kaske, Bloomberg, October 23, 2020]
This referendum is a straight up or down Si or No: "¿Debe Puerto Rico ser admitido inmediatamente dentro de la Unión como un Estado?" In English that's "Should Puerto Rico be admitted immediately into the Union as a State?"
Non-binding or not, a yes vote would create momentum to make Puerto Rico a state, under the arguments of democracy and self-determination.
The Bloomberg article doesn't tell the whole truth about the two previous referendums:
If voters say “yes” to statehood, as they did in 2012 and 2017, the pro-statehood gubernatorial candidate Pedro Pierluisi wins, and the Democrats take control of the U.S. Congress, the Caribbean island might have a shot at becoming a state, organizers say.
This is highly deceptive. The majority of Puerto Rican voters have never voted for statehood.
The 2012 referendum was a two-part ballot, and the anti-statehood Partido Popular Democrático de Puerto Rico (PPD) instructed its followers to leave the second segment blank, which means the majority of those voting did not vote for statehood.
In the 2017 referendum, statehood "won" by 97% but the anti-statehood parties boycotted the election, in which only 23% of the island's electorate voted.
To repeat, the majority of Puerto Rican voters have never voted for statehood. But even if they did, do Americans have any say in the matter?
If so, the Great State of Puerto Rico would be eligible for two seats in the U.S. Senate and five in the House of Representatives. That has made the issue newly intriguing amid partisan infighting in Washington, said William Villafane, a local senator and the referendum coordinator for the pro-statehood New Progressive Party. “Nationally, there is this impression that Puerto Rico is Democrat, and that those two additional seats would allow the Democrats to control the Senate,” he said. “This has created a window of opportunity for us in the Democratic Party.”
That's why they want it.
Many prominent statehooders identify as Republicans, but they’re willing to promote the idea that the island is solidly blue if it will help nudge the statehood issue forward. “In reality, I think Puerto Rico would be a swing state or a battle ground state,” Villafane said.
We have quite enough swing states, thank you.
With a poverty rate of 43%, Puerto Rico would be the poorest U.S. state -- far behind Mississippi at 20%. It would also be the most financially distressed. Puerto Rico and its agencies racked up $74 billion of debt before collapsing into bankruptcy in 2017. It’s still in court working out how to cut its debts and fix a broke pension system that owes current and future retirees $50 billion.
Sounds like a dream come true for the Democrats.
Proponents of statehood say it’s the only way to give Puerto Ricans a voice, vote and equal footing in federal assistance programs. Critics say it would mean increased federal taxes and obliteration of the island’s unique culture -- without necessarily solving any of its pressing problems. Polls show Pierluisi is in a tight race with Carlos Delgado Altieri, of the Popular Democratic Party, or PPD, which opposes statehood. That means there’s a real chance that voters may choose statehood even as they elect an anti-statehood candidate, as they did during the 2012 referendum and election. And there are also no guarantees that the U.S. Congress -- regardless of who’s in control -- will embrace the Caribbean island as the first U.S. state since 1959, when Hawaii and Alaska were incorporated.
Let's hope not.
Despite the challenges of threading the political needle, Villafane is optimistic. “This is not just another referendum, this is another step on our way to making Puerto Rico a state,” he said. “This is the best chance we’ve ever had.”

This is an abridged version of a public statement read at the School Committee meeting on Wednesday in support of suspending the test for Boston’s three exam schools.
Boston Latin School is the most famous of Boston’s three exam schools. It is a public exam school for grades 7 to 12. It was founded 385 years ago.

Dropouts include Louis Farrakhan and Benjamin Franklin.
Latin remains mandatory at Boston Latin.
Boston Latin’s student body is 46% white compared to 45% of the population of the city of Boston, 29% Asian compared to 10% of the population, 13% Hispanic vs. 20%, and 8% black vs. 25% of the city.

My wife and I have the resources to one day sign her up for an expensive test-prep course, or hire a test-prep consultant. All the test prep will end up being money well spent: It will have boosted her score to get into an exam school. All the while, I’ll come here and tell you she worked hard and she’s so smart. I won’t tell you I took advantage of the multibillion-dollar test prep industry. I won’t tell you that across the United States test prep companies and consultants are concentrated in white and Asian neighborhoods. Because we’re not supposed to talk about all this. We’re not supposed to be talking about the fact that all Boston children do not have equal access to high-quality test preparation — and it’s impossible to create equal access. We’re not supposed to talk about all this legal cheating. It is like allowing certain NFL teams more time to practice in the off-season and, when those teams regularly win the Super Bowl, somehow claiming the rules are fair. And when you try to take away the practice advantage from those winning teams, they are going to resist. They are going to claim their teams are the best; all the while they’ll know privately, they were legally cheating.

Stanford University psychologist and eugenicist Lewis Terman introduced and defended the viability of the nation’s first popular standardized intelligence test in his 1916 book “The Measurement of Intelligence.”
After all, what has the Terman family ever done for Silicon Valley?
These “experimental” tests will show “enormously significant racial differences in general intelligence, differences which cannot be wiped out by any scheme of mental culture,” Terman maintained.
In truth, racial differences in test scores are highly malleable, as this graph shows:
As you can see, there’s been a radical reshuffling in the top rank of races over the last 40 years, with Asians becoming hugely dominant. Which proves cognitive testing is just a giant White Supremacist conspiracy.
By the 1960s, genetic explanations had largely been discredited. Since then, lower test scores from Black and Latinx students have been explained by their environment: Their supposedly broken cultures, homes, schools, and families have made them intellectually inferior. Standardized tests have become the most effective racist weapon ever devised to objectively degrade Black and brown minds and legally exclude their bodies.
But don’t forget FBI crime statistics.
Why do Black and Latinx children routinely get lower scores on the standardized tests? Either there’s something wrong with the test takers or there’s something wrong with the tests. Why are Black and Latinx children routinely under-represented in the exam schools? Either there’s something wrong with Black and Latinx children or there’s something wrong with Boston’s admissions policies. There’s something wrong with the test and the admissions policies. And to say there’s something wrong with Black and Latinx children is to espouse racist ideas. And those who say racist ideas, typically deny their ideas are racist. …

vdare--2020-10-24--WASHINGTON POST: In Case a Jury Decides George Floyd Died of Drugs and Bad Health, Well, Blacks Ruin

WASHINGTON POST: In Case a Jury Decides George Floyd Died of Drugs and Bad Health, Well, Blacks Ruining Their Health with Drugs Is the Fault of White Supremacy Too

Earlier : In 2019 , George Floyd Swallowed His Drugs Upon Arrest The point of this long article is that George Floyd lived down to most of the worst stereotypes about blacks , so that just proves his stereotypical behavior was due to White Racism .
It ’ s really quite simple when you think about it .
As we all know , Systemic Racism is , axiomatically , the most powerful force in the known universe .
Therefore , white people ’ s perceptions of blacks are not caused by black behavior , but instead black behavior is caused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in time to force blacks to behave in ways that subsequently enable white perceptions to pounce .
In Minneapolis , the physical and mental strain of a lifetime confronting racism surfaced in George Floyd ’ s final years MINNEAPOLIS — George Floyd came to this city with a broken body and wilted dreams , his many attempts at a better life out of his grasp .
He was left with no college degree , no sports contract , no rap career , not even a steady job .
At 43 , what he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drug problem , his hopes hinging on one last shot at healing .
… Finding a way to live has never been a sure thing for Black men in America , who are taught from an early age that any misstep could lead to a prison cell or a coffin .
They have higher rates of hypertension , obesity and heart disease , according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .
They are twice as likely as White men to die of a cocaine overdose , twice as likely to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s age group , 10 times as likely to die of a homicide .
Public-health researchers and scientists once held that these disparities were the result of poor choices — bad diets , lack of exercise , being in the wrong place at the wrong time .
But experts are increasingly pointing to another culprit : systemic racism .
Being Black in America , they have found , is its own preexisting condition .
“ Racism is painful and hurtful , ” said Ayana Jordan , a professor at Yale who studies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a trauma that is introduced into our lives.
” This body of research became popularized around 30 years ago when Arline Geronimus , a behavioral researcher at the University of Michigan , hypothesized that young Black mothers were in worse shape than young White mothers because their bodies were responding to a distinct type of stress .
Other epidemiologists , such as Sherman James , had been finding similar patterns with different groups of African Americans , from farmers in North Carolina to teenagers in California .
Even when controlling for income level @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , experts found Black people were often sicker than their White counterparts .
That ’ s why blacks aren ’ t good athletes .
They ’ re just too sickly and weak from stress .
As you know , blacks appear stressed out all the time , diligently rechecking their work over and over looking for the tiniest mistakes .
Darrell Hudson , a public health professor at Washington University in St. Louis who specializes in race and health , said studies since have shown that African Americans tended to have elevated levels @ @ @ @ @ @ @ typically rise as a response to stress .
While those rises can be helpful in limited spurts — providing focus to pull an all-nighter , or increasing heart rates to accomplish a strenuous physical challenge — they also strain the immune system .
That ’ s why students get sick after finals week or athletes can get so sore after big games .
If those cortisol levels remain high over a prolonged period , as has been found in African Americans , the strain makes people more susceptible to sickness .
Hudson and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were not about genetics , but racism .
The stress of everything , from everyday slights to fears of a deadly interaction with the police , alters human physiology .
Of course , the stress felt by blacks has nothing to do with the stress imposed upon them by other blacks .
In fact , blacks never stress out other blacks .
That ’ s why life is so peaceful in the handful of neighborhoods where white people allow blacks to live 100 % with other blacks .
“ There ’ s nothing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ across race , ” Hudson said .
“ The context that people live in is racialized , however .
It ’ s about the chronicity of it and your relationship with it : Do you feel you have some control over what stresses you , without a herculean effort and a lot of luck ?

From the Washington Post news section:
George Floyd’s America
Racism’s hidden toll
The point of this long article is that George Floyd lived down to most of the worst stereotypes about blacks, so that just proves his stereotypical behavior was due to White Racism.
It’s really quite simple when you think about it. As we all know, Systemic Racism is, axiomatically, the most powerful force in the known universe. Therefore, white people’s perceptions of blacks are not caused by black behavior, but instead black behavior is caused by white perceptions, which travel backward in time to force blacks to behave in ways that subsequently enable white perceptions to pounce.
In Minneapolis, the physical and mental strain of a lifetime confronting racism surfaced in George Floyd’s final years By Robert Samuels
Oct. 22, 2020 MINNEAPOLIS — George Floyd came to this city with a broken body and wilted dreams, his many attempts at a better life out of his grasp. He was left with no college degree, no sports contract, no rap career, not even a steady job. At 43, what he had was an arrest record and a drug problem, his hopes hinging on one last shot at healing. … Finding a way to live has never been a sure thing for Black men in America, who are taught from an early age that any misstep could lead to a prison cell or a coffin. They have higher rates of hypertension, obesity and heart disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They are twice as likely as White men to die of a cocaine overdose, twice as likely to be killed by police and, in Floyd’s age group, 10 times as likely to die of a homicide. Public-health researchers and scientists once held that these disparities were the result of poor choices — bad diets, lack of exercise, being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But experts are increasingly pointing to another culprit: systemic racism. Being Black in America, they have found, is its own preexisting condition. “Racism is painful and hurtful,” said Ayana Jordan, a professor at Yale who studies race and addiction. “It is a trauma that is introduced into our lives.” This body of research became popularized around 30 years ago when Arline Geronimus, a behavioral researcher at the University of Michigan, hypothesized that young Black mothers were in worse shape than young White mothers because their bodies were responding to a distinct type of stress. Other epidemiologists, such as Sherman James, had been finding similar patterns with different groups of African Americans, from farmers in North Carolina to teenagers in California. Even when controlling for income level, age, geography and educational status, experts found Black people were often sicker than their White counterparts.
That’s why blacks aren’t good athletes. They’re just too sickly and weak from stress. As you know, blacks appear stressed out all the time, diligently rechecking their work over and over looking for the tiniest mistakes.
Darrell Hudson, a public health professor at Washington University in St. Louis who specializes in race and health, said studies since have shown that African Americans tended to have elevated levels of hormones such as cortisol, which typically rise as a response to stress. While those rises can be helpful in limited spurts — providing focus to pull an all-nighter, or increasing heart rates to accomplish a strenuous physical challenge — they also strain the immune system. That’s why students get sick after finals week or athletes can get so sore after big games. If those cortisol levels remain high over a prolonged period, as has been found in African Americans, the strain makes people more susceptible to sickness. Hudson and other researchers concluded that those elevated levels were not about genetics, but racism. The stress of everything, from everyday slights to fears of a deadly interaction with the police, alters human physiology.
Of course, the stress felt by blacks has nothing to do with the stress imposed upon them by other blacks. In fact, blacks never stress out other blacks. That’s why life is so peaceful in the handful of neighborhoods where white people allow blacks to live 100% with other blacks.
“There’s nothing different about how people respond to stress across race,” Hudson said. “The context that people live in is racialized, however. It’s about the chronicity of it and your relationship with it: Do you feel you have some control over what stresses you, without a herculean effort and a lot of luck? If not, everything piles up.” Racism also takes a toll on the psyche. Self-esteem falls and anxiety rises when people are trying to make it in a country where they are taught as children that they may never be given a fair shake.
That’s why blacks have so little self-esteem.
Scientists refer to this coping strategy as “John Henryism,” so named after the hammer-wielding African American folk hero who died of a heart attack trying to prove his worth while building a railroad.
Who hasn’t known a black man who has worked himself to death?
“You saw it in Floyd’s attempts to move from the protective, supportive, familiar environments he was raised in pursuit of upward mobility,” Hudson said. “The challenge of moving away to pursue opportunities can’t be overstated, in my opinion.”
That’s why blacks never refer to each other as “homeboys:” everybody knows they are constantly on the road looking for the slightest opportunity. Who can forget the massive numbers of black men who poured into North Dakota during the recent fracking boom to work all winter in the frigid outdoors?
Close friends and family said they witnessed those anxieties in Floyd, whose size, stature and arrest record played into some of the most pernicious stereotypes about Black men. From an early age, he knew his most fundamental challenge was to stay alive. “It’s the rules of the neighborhood and the rules of the house: Try not to get killed,” said Rodney Floyd, a younger brother of George Floyd. Growing older, trying to chart a new path but ultimately succumbing to the pressures of his Third Ward neighborhood, they said Floyd developed a bad back and bad knees, high blood pressure and, according to autopsy reports, a weakened heart.
But that had nothing to do with why Floyd died. Nothing.
And as he watched his friends die, the warnings he received as a young boy began to feel more like a prophecy. He went to Minneapolis to start a new life. But there he found that there were some things about being a Black man that he could not escape. … At times, though, Hunter worried that Floyd’s desire to be loved clouded his judgment. … He so wanted to be liked by everyone that he would find himself hanging out with friends who got caught up in drugs and the criminal justice system. Hunter was disappointed but not surprised when Floyd ended up in jail. So many of their friends did in a neighborhood where there were few men with 9-to-5 jobs to serve as role models, few jobs to start out on their own and plenty of opportunities to get involved in the drug game. Hunter said that Floyd’s life was moving in a more stable direction after his last sentence in 2013. … Instead of making it to the pros, Floyd ended up spending a lot of his time outside Scott Food Mart, known as the Blue Store. Many of the men on the corner had served jail time and had trouble finding jobs, but they rapped about how lucky they were to live past 21. Some used cocaine and PCP, both of which police say Floyd tested positive for after his arrest in 2008…. The depth of Floyd’s substance use in Houston is unknown. Dozens of his friends, family and family attorneys interviewed for this story were not willing to discuss specifics.
Okay, I’ll put that down as “bad.”

vdare--2020-10-23--KIPP Schools Junk Their Famous "Work Hard, Be Nice" Slogan As Not Anti-Racist

A rare success story from the once fashionable era of billionaire-funded Education Reform efforts was the KIPP chain of charter schools .
The point of KIPP was to offer volunteers schools that train poor students the way the military does : with an emphasis on order , character-building , and repetition in the fundamentals .
KIPP never sold itself as a panacea .
Instead , it was an option available for underclass kids willing to do the work to develop lower middle class habits .
From my review of historian Raymond Wolters ’ 2015 book The Long Crusade : A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , usually by undoing the work of past gurus .
Perhaps the most appealing figures in The Long Crusade are Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin , who founded the KIPP charter-school chain in 1994 to offer discipline , hard work , and back-to-basics schooling to the fairly small percentage of slum students serious about earning a way out of the hood .
Good kids deserve some breaks in life , such as getting to go to a school without a bunch of layabouts and knuckleheads .
Some of the success of KIPP is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of public order and respect used by schools before the ascendance of progressive education ideology in the late 1960s .
Thus , KIPP ’ s slogan was , “ Work hard .
Be Nice.
” But , it ’ s 2020 , so all good things must come to an end .
From KIPP.org : After adopting a new mission and vision , we understood that Work hard .
Be nice .
needed to change ; we needed to lift up a new national slogan .
We learned many KIPP Regions had either @ @ @ @ @ @ @ removing it from their schools .
… Feedback on the slogan falls into a few buckets : • Working hard and being nice is not going to dismantle systemic racism .
For example , in the words of student performers at KIPP School Summit : “ I ’ ve been told I should just work hard and be nice .
That it ’ ll pay off in the end .
I ’ ve worked hard and I ’ ve been nice but the nice guys finish last.
” • It suggests being compliant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the words of an alum : “ Asking us to ‘ be nice ’ puts the onus on kids to be quiet , be compliant , be controlled .
It doesn ’ t actively challenge us to disrupt the systems that are trying to control us.
” • It supports the illusion of meritocracy .
For example , in the words of Orpheus Williams who leads the Foundation ’ s equity programming : “ The slogan passively supports ongoing efforts to pacify and control Black and Brown bodies in order to better condition @ @ @ @ @ @ @ current social norms that center whiteness and meritocracy as normal.
” Yeah , kind of … Alternatively , you might phrase it as KIPP was offering black children an opportunity to learn a culture that doesn ’ t lead to so goddam many mass shootings at funerals .
… We are replacing it .
We are not going to rush this part .
Aligned with our shared mission and vision , we know we need to lift up a slogan that better represents the tomorrow we are hoping to build , together .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Alumni Impact teams will facilitate the process , we want the new slogan to be designed by our students , alumni , and families .
We will share more details on this effort when we have them .
Suggestions for a new KIPP slogan : “ Goof off .

See, earlier: Alan Wall's "Columbus Statues Under Attack in Mexico City, Too"
The war on white heritage is afoot across Latin America. My father's homeland, Chile, is no exception. The main target has been Pedro de Valdivia, Chile's foremost "founding conquistador." Every corner of Chile has something named for him: a street, a bridge, a school, a plaza, etc. And there is no shortage of statues, murals, and busts of him, either.
Here's a photo of a "Valdivia felling" in Concepción—the third largest city in the country and the de facto capital of the Chilean south.
Photo credit: El Ciudadano
Members of Chile's largest Amerindian people, Mapuches, did the job.
What happened in Concepción was not an isolated incident. Here's another felled Valdivia:
#VALDIVIA
PARADOJAS DE LA VIDA: Manifestantes arrancan el busto de Pedro de Valdivia, desde la plaza llamada Pedro de Valdivia en cual lanzaron desde el Puente Pedro de Valdivia al río Valdivia en la ciudad de Valdivia pic.twitter.com/LsBAJn4fPs — 💜 Fanita 💚 (@contoosinopaque) November 4, 2019
The tweet reads:
#Valdivia / ONE OF LIFE'S PARADOXES: Marchers make off with the bust of Pedro de Valdivia, taken from Pedro de Valdivia Plaza, then threw the bust off of Pedro de Valdivia Bridge into the Valdivia River, in the city of Valdivia.
It is often said that America's main export is culture. In the current year, that means that America's main export is Cultural Marxism. Lefties and non-whites in Latin America draw inspiration from their American counterparts, and imitate them.
Just thirty years ago, even Chile's violent Communists claimed to be patriots fighting against (supposed) nefarious Anglo-American influence. One of the country's foremost left-wing terrorist groups, founded in 1983, was the Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front. They named themselves for Manuel Rodríguez because Rodríguez was one of Chile's founding fathers. He was also white, specifically Basque—the most common ethnicity of Chile's historic elite.
Now, when leftists run riot in the streets, they fly the Mapuche flag. Here are some antifa setting up a street barricade in late 2019:
Here's the Mapuche flag:
There is no place on Earth so remote that the war on whites and white heritage hasn't arrived.
