White Supremacist Attacks on Asians Continue
Remember when Donald Trump called COVID-19 the “China virus” and openly, unequivocally, and unabashedly encouraged American blacks to stab Asians and smash them in the head with bricks? Even though he’s not the president anymore, it’s still happening! Egged on by insensitive comments from the most white-supremacist president ever, American blacks, continually boondoggled and hornswoggled by the white-supremacist culture in which they remain trapped like flies in amber, continue to both kick and scare the shit out of this nation’s tiny, high-IQ, almost always peaceful Asians.
In Baltimore, 50-year-old Daryl Doles has been charged with aggravated assault after an incident was captured on surveillance tape showing him attacking two Asian women in a convenience store and smashing one of them in the head with a cinderblock.
In San Francisco, 54-year-old Patrick Thompson has been charged with two counts of attempted murder after allegedly stabbing two elderly Asian women at a bus stop.
Also in San Francisco, 26-year-old Sidney Hammond has been arrested for allegedly attacking an Asian man who was pushing his one-year-old child in a stroller and attempting to stomp the Asian man’s head into the ground as the stroller began gently rolling away.
In San Jose, California, during a high school basketball game, video shows an Asian teen being attacked by two black players.
In Harlem, Jarrod Powell has been arrested in connection with an attack on an Asian man that left the victim in a coma.
An unnamed black woman (I won’t even call her “fat,” because that would be redundant) is being sought in connection with an attack on a Manhattan subway where she allegedly approached an Asian woman from behind, said, “Get off my train, you don’t belong here,” and smacked her in the back of the head with an open hand.
What’s notable is that in all of the anti-Asian violence articles linked to above, the victims are always identified as “Asian,” but the perps are never identified as “black.” The most they’ll do — and it’s rare — is show a picture of the perp. Most of the time I had to either watch the video or search the alleged perp’s name to see if a pic popped up on Google Images. The word “black” was not in a single article, although the word “hate” was in nearly all of them.
Purging the Military of Whiteness and Anti-Semitism
If you thought wokeness was bad in the media and education, wait until it gets a complete chokehold on the US military.
In February, fresh on the heels of the Capitol riot of January 6, Joe Biden’s newly minted coal-black Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a 60-day stand-down in order to purge the military from an alleged “extremism” problem caused by soldiers who placed their country above this country’s ex-slaves. And now comes news that the Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense for Diversity and Inclusion is the unashamedly black Bishop Garrison, who is neither a bishop and has probably never seen a garrison. He will hold the fort as head of the U.S. military’s “Countering Extremism” task force. Garrison, an ardent defender of Black Lives Matter, proponent of Critical Race Theory, and propagandist of the 1619 Project, is on record making the following statement:
[P]romoting inclusivity and respect within the ranks is not only the right thing to do morally but also a matter of national security: a more cohesive unit is a stronger fighting force.
Imagine someone thinking that diversity actually increases cohesion. They’d either have to be stupid, a liar, or both. Garrison — who has actually stated that he has never been called a racist or discriminated against due to his “immutable traits,” has also ululated thusly:
The racism that threatens lives and security will not magically vanish. It will not draw back or resolve itself. It must be cut out like the cancer it has been for so long.
Speaking of cutting out the cancer, how much would it cost, and how many boats would it take, to ship them all back to the continent whence they came?
Shortly before Easter this year, a US Navy Chaplain named Aristotle Rivera caused an “outcry” with a post that claimed Jews should apologize for killing Jesus:
“Jesus lived. You killed him. God raised him. We saw him. Say sorry.”
In the name of fairness, it was actually the Romans who did the killing. Sure, the Jews handed Jesus over to the Romans, but they were merely the Karens in this equation.
Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation — representing 32 members, of whom three-quarters are Jewish — along with a group called the Jewish War Veterans said that hell, naw, they were not going to apologize and that it was Lieutenant Rivera who needed to apologize to all Jews, everywhere, wherever he may find them.
You can buy Jim Goad’s Whiteness: The Original Sin here.
Purging Our Schools of Whiteness
As far back as 1963, Norman Podhoretz wrote an essay in Commentary magazine called “My Negro Problem — And Ours.” It was a remarkable piece for its era because it noted that, despite the endless propaganda that was prevalent even back then about Negroes being poor, hapless victims, in Podhoretz’s neighborhood while growing up in Brooklyn during the 1930s, the blacks were known as the most violent group and that everyone was scared of them.
This is why it’s bitterly hilarious to see a “news story” in 2021 titled “Remote learning during COVID-19 pandemic gave some Black students reprieve from racism, parents say” which implies that the reason white students are returning to school at much higher rates than da blacks and da browns isn’t because the latter groups are lazy and dumb, but because the white kids are much more eager to bully others than blacks and browns are.
Also, a school district in the predominantly white Bay Area town of Piedmont is apologizing all over itself about an email sent offering a “White Student Support Group” for white students in the wake of Derek Chauvin’s recent murder conviction in the George Floyd case. Mind you, there were similar emails sent to black and indigenous students, but no one seemed to have a problem with those — only with the idea of there being any places where white kids can be white.
Representatives for the school district were quick to explain that the support group wasn’t intended for white students to offer one another solace now that race war has been declared against them. Not at all. In fact, Assistant Superintendent Cheryl Wozniak sent an “apology email” explaining that the group, despite its name, was intended only for white students to support nonwhite students:
I did not make it clear that the circle being offered . . . is for those who want to be allies for BIPOC. I sincerely apologize for the lack of sensitivity in my communication and invite anyone who has been impacted to reach out to me directly so I can repair the harm I have caused.
Superintendent Randall Booker, also white, doubled down on Wozniak’s alibi:
A poor choice of words in the subject line of the invitation to white students led to the perception that white students needed the same kind of “support” as our BIPOC students. Students of all racial backgrounds rightfully pushed back on that idea. We agree, and we want to affirm in the strongest terms that our commitment is to give all students a place to express their feelings and to learn how to engage in important issues.
In the real world, white students need more support than any other group these days because America’s institutions are feeding them a constant diet of self-hatred.
Blacks Shitting on Whites, cont.
Writing for Forbes — which, if I recall, used to focus on things such as money and business — an “expert” on “Diversity, Equity & Inclusion” named Maia Niguel Hoskin attempts to school us about “Three Things To Keep In Mind When Thinking About Whiteness In America”:
In a Los Angeles Times article, whiteness is described as being on a “toggle switch between bland nothingness and racist hatred.” Although there is no right or wrong way to interpret how whiteness has been constructed — collectively — race scholars agree that whiteness insulates the inequitable distribution of wealth, income, and power. Whiteness also informs scientific bodies of knowledge, norms, ideologies, beliefs, and particular practices that have been constructed throughout American history.
Never mind that in the Motherland, she’d be eating cow dung and swatting at tsetse flies.
Writing for the Brookings Institution,” a certain Rashawn Ray poses the question “Is the United States a racist country?” and seems to have already made up his mind before even posing the question:
When a person critiques America for the racism that is deeply embedded in our social institutions, some feel they are being personally attacked. This is because deep down they realize that they benefit from unearned assets associated with whiteness. . . . It is so commonplace for white people that some cannot fathom living without it. This is because many white people, particularly white people with lower levels of education and income, realize that whiteness comes with a premium that extends beyond economics to include cultural and social capital.
OK, Rashawn, so if I were to allege that your people were living in the Stone Age before whites dragged your sorry asses into the modern world and you felt “personally attacked” as a result, would that also be because deep down, you realized I was right?
Finally, in “The Pathophysiology of Racial Disparities,” a hi-yella MD named Amanda Calhoun boldly announces:
We must identify the true pathophysiology of racial disparities: the racist, intentional oppression of Black Americans. Let’s start training to identify the persistent mechanisms behind white supremacy: redlining, the school-to-prison pipeline, environmental racism.
No, you daffy broad, the true reason for racial disparities is cognitive disparities that resulted from evolving under different selection pressures on separate continents.
Whites Shitting on Themselves, cont.
In this week’s roundup of whites who seem to think they’ll be spared if they aggressively self-flagellate in public before the shit really goes down, Ralph Knudson writes about “Facing the realities of racial healing”:
White people can and must face the realities of systemic racism if we hope to dismantle it for racial healing. People of color are not responsible for doing the needed and necessary white people’s work of learning about racial injustice. It’s our responsibility. We don’t need forgiveness by anyone to get off the sidelines and do the work of learning and promoting change. . . . We realize that our white privilege in American democracy obliges us to do our own part to understand and repair the racial injustices that threaten our democracy and weaken us as a nation. Once we see such systemic racial problems, we can’t unsee them. We need to do our homework, face ourselves and understand our part in racial injustice. Then we can effectively do our part to promote equal justice and racial healing.
I have a better idea, Ralph: Why don’t you go sit on a fire hydrant?
In “10 Ways to Be Less Racist,” a butch woman with short grey hair named Marci Alborghetti tells us that white guilt is the best thing since sliced Wonder Bread:
When it comes to racism, white guilt is good. Indeed, putting aside all those self-love TED talks, a dose of shame is in order. This country is founded upon the slaughter and enslavement of Indigenous and African peoples and the decimation of their cultures and family structures. . . . Attend a worship service at a People of Color congregation. . . . Send your child to an integrated school. . . . Choose to live in an integrated town or city. . . . Racism is America’s cancer, and we’re way past the early detection stage. This cancer cannot be eradicated unless we acknowledge it. Statistically, white people live longer and are healthier, wealthier, better educated, better fed and better employed than people of color. And those realities are a direct result of racism.
Again with the cancer metaphor. Is this clam-licker even aware that as “a direct result of racism,” black women outlive white men in this country?
In “What should I do about racism? From one white person to another,” Sage Grover cracks a guilt whip at other whites:
We must not rely on people in Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities to teach us about what is wrong in our country. It is not their responsibility. We need to open our eyes to the blatant fact that racial violence, discrimination, and hate are embedded too far in our society. We must be anti-racist. Simply saying things such as “I am not racist” is not enough. . . . Black and Brown healing must be prioritized, not the opinions of white folks. . . . In the end, the moral of the story is that Black and Brown bodies are not just another post to share on the internet, even if the sharing is done to point out injustice. It is past time for us to open our eyes to the hate. Simple apologies will no longer suffice. We, as white people, must take action and become anti-racists.
No. No, no, no, NO. We, as white people, need to realize that blacks and browns do better around white people, whereas white people do worse around blacks and browns.

I would go literally anywhere they were not. Where is that? Antarctica?? It hardly matters, they would follow us and ruin it soon enough.
Somewhat tangentially, I do wonder whether in the coming decades the only admissible Christianity will be a Church that genuflects to the Jewish people and Judaism as ‘the older brother’ while flagellating itself in a vain effort to atone for an antisemitic past. Auschwitz and Treblinka displacing Golgotha, as some have aptly put it.
Christians who think of Judaism as just another spiritual option will be crestfallen to discover the disdain that descendants of Jacob (whether observant or secular) bear towards their Church and its founder (or strictly speaking founders, since Paul of Tarsus was as much the fountainhead as Jesus of Nazareth.) The aversion goes well beyond the parallel distaste in Christianity for Islam and its Prophet, for the Church is held to have been a scourge upon the Tents of Israel, like those ancient never-to-be-forgotten foes Pharaoh, Amalek and Haman — indeed more so in that those enemies are gone to dust while the Nazarene heresy staggers on. Hasidic folk literature abounds with amusing and picaresque tales of wry and humble Tzadikim fooling and fleecing pompous bishops and shady popes, and one has only to look at the writings of Phillip Roth, where Christianity is characterised as a set of beliefs that would ‘shame a gorilla’, to understand that all ecumenical efforts short of unilaterally dismantling Christian doctrine are vain.
I predict that the latter-day ‘Judaizers’ in the Evangelical sector will displace the Catholic and Lutheran denominations, now tarred forever as antisemites and Holocaust enablers (the Anglican communion, having already collapsed into a clique of sexual deviants preaching identity politics to old age pensioners, may be excluded as an irrelevance). Nor will any St John Chrysostom figure this time be permitted to stand in the way: the stern and patriarchal shade of Raoul Hilberg waits ready to inflict ruin and infamy upon any who durst! Only the Orthodox Church, in my opinion possess sufficient vigour and conviction among its adherents to resist the tidal forces that are pulling down the formerly Christian West.
The psychological release one feels when one finds a location not yet infested by the POX is immense. Most Whites today really can’t comprehend just what a burden it is to always be on guard, always be aware, always watch their words, until that burden is removed. Escape to one of those increasingly rare spots which are 90+% White – and generally rural Whites as opposed to woke Whites – and you feel as though you’ve entered an alternate reality. One where the store cashiers, the sandwich shop attendants, and even the pharmacists are all White people. Where folks are generally pleasant and smile and greet one another courteously albeit casually. Where there is no racial subtext underlying every personal transaction, and everyone generally understands everyone else’s assumptions and underlying motivations and morals.
While vanishingly rare, these sorts of Whitopias do still exist. And if Whites are to survive, we must raise our children amongst their genuine peers and plant more such ‘safe zones’ in a state that has openly celebrated our eradication.
It’s called Maine. I like it here.
Jeffrey A Freeman: I loved it too, when I spent a college summer with friends up in Brunswick and Portland and then a few years later vacationed with friends on Chebeague Island, but we’re talking decades ago – back when Old Orchard Beach was thronged with White people and not Somalians. I’m now referring to a different state that we hope and plan to move to – not as White as Maine overall but the area we’re looking at is quite comparable (and not easily reached by the interstate).
The Somalis are way up in Lewiston, a faraway forgotten city that might as well not even exist given its remoteness and irrelevance. Most of the state is agricultural and overwhelmingly white. Or in a lot of open spaces way up north, empty of all people but full of animals to hunt. So the cities are liberal blue (but not utterly insane like west coast Portland for example) and the bulk of the state is conservative red, hence the electoral college votes to President Trump both times. Thank God for this state. Good luck on your White Flight.
I don’t understand this “White guilt” thing. Is it real? Or is it a Jewish thing? I don’t feel guilty about anything anyone ever did to blacks, or anything they ever did to themselves. I do everything I can to avoid them, don’t shop in stores that kneel to them, don’t watch television shows that feature them and avoid products that use them as spokesmen. Who are these weirdos feeling guilty about them? It’s got to be the megalomaniacs that run the country screwing with us. Or trying to keep us busy while they steal everything they can get their hands on.
I know without a doubt, that most whites, European Americans, etc. feel exactly as confused as you do about who is behind all of this what—- insanity, hot air, nonsense, B.S.???? It really does make one wonder if it’s real. Yet, the question is easily answered if one realizes that laws are actually being created against white interests.
There are certainly white people who feel white guilt. I don’t, but my dad did, and my sister does, and my grandmother had a questionable fondness for black men. There is certainly a genetic component, which combined with education and MSM produces grotesque results.
Will this issue be spread across the Universe when Mars becomes populated?
A quibble. The story in the gospel pretty clearly shows that AppleChews ran Judea and that the Roman (although he was a Samnite ethnic) Pilate was just puppet of the sneaky high priest. That’s pretty interesting as an observation by whomever wrote that story.
Surprised to see Jim Goad using the pejorative term ‘Karen,’ which is an anti-white-female slur used with glee by everybody these days.
I’ll second that.
Re: The Commentary cover showing contents. What were the books Jason Epstein wanted American children to read in 1963? I hope for their sake it wasn’t something as All American as Taibele and Hurmizah, although I still treasure my Hurmizah Williams rookie card.
The best part about Mr. Goad’s articles is that he includes pictures of his subjects. It’s always good to keep brushed up on physiognomy.
I don’t have to put up with the hate you lot do.
A neighbor has an ASIAN LIVES MATTER sign which precludes any anti-Asian hate crimes occurring on their lawn. Not that there’s an Asian within miles.
I went to the Episcopalian church until Covid came and the bishop ordered the churches closed. Then, in late summer, outside services were allowed with masks, even for midnight Christmas services in 20 degree weather…all of it outdoors. Then a new bishop was elected; a man from Barbados, black, a big homosexual/transexual rights guy, and proudly married…’to his ‘husband.’ That did it. I’ll have no more to do with the Episcopalian church. It’s especially galling because the church is so lily white, and if this is what they elect as their bishop, then that’s it.
I miss the music and liturgy, as well as socializing, but this is blasphemy, and it’s not worth it. Besides, the church…all the churches…killed themselves with this Covid lockdown. I’m sure all of you saw the video of the Polish minister in Canada, because he held Easter services, was stopped by police and arrested and hauled away. How many Christians protested this? The churches chose to die.
If you look at organized Christianity, they’re filling the clergy with minorities everywhere. This is part of the plan. and maybe whites have had enough of a religion that doesn’t really represent them anymore.
My childhood pastor (in his 90’s now) was from an episcopal church but he confronted its evil doctrines and later left to start his own Christ Church after being accused by the angry homosexuals of sexual improprieties, imagine? He cites the evil of homosexuality for the fall of the/his episcopal church. During the China virus, he defied the state (Massachusetts) and never shut his doors to white Christians or black Anglicans. Few stood up for God and Christ when the communists came with their liberty killing virus but this man did.
S.Clark: We left the Episcopalian church more than a decade ago. While our pastor stood firm against the homosexual agenda, he utterly caved to the multicultural and feminist one. We tried various other churches – we also missed the liturgy and found yet more of the multicultural heresy. We eventually stopped attending church altogether. Our faith has not flagged, but our belief in organized religion – at least in the West at present – is gone. When we can find a church that preaches the gospel and not social justice, that raises up the strength of White men and teaches White women their proper and immensely valuable supporting role, and that provides a vision of the future for our White sons, then we might reconsider. Until then our faith remains within the family and separate from our primary cause of the future of White people.
I’m sure all of you saw the video of the Polish minister in Canada, because he held Easter services, was stopped by police and arrested and hauled away.
From what I’ve read, during Easter he yelled at policemen to get a warrant, decried them as “gestapo” and then threw them out. He has a history of protesting the covidian regime and getting fined for it. Passionate polish soul.
BIPOC sounds like a new virus. When will we get the vaccine?
“… race scholars agree that whiteness insulated the inequitable distribution of wealth, income, and power”.
Well, this little white girl, who worked as an office drone for 53 years while studying nights and weekends to earn two college degrees the hard way, still managed to arrive at age 37 without a penny in savings due to bad relationship choices and dramas.
So, finally getting wise, I noticed a magazine named “Money” in the checkout line, and began reading and self-educating myself in ‘finance’ — a path I’ve been on ever since for 40 years. I’ve amassed a few grand each in several pension plans, 401Ks, and two IRAs, along with good, ole Soc. Sec., and am now ‘comfortable’ but surely not wealthy.
I say that anyone can do this — it’s not a ‘racial accomplishment’ — it’s just an honest assessment of reality, and then getting the self-education to take a different path in life. I had studied Art History in college, and never got a cent out of it, but great fulfillment. So then, I added ‘Finance’ on my own. And I didn’t do it through big salaries either, just steady salaries and steady savings. I was only making $46K yearly when I retired 4 years ago. So, if I hear one more ‘woke’ Black or other POC tell me I have “White Privilege”, I may run at them screaming.
But sincerely, here’s my heartfelt free gift to all BIPOCs worldwide to end ‘racism’: Study Finance in school instead of Social Justice. Damn!
Jim, I sometimes wonder if you get what the whole ‘racism’ issue is all about. BLM is not about claiming that blacks are equal to whites, although that is the superficial message. We all know the ways in which they are not – particularly in social organization (witness Africa, and I think it is on that particular criterion that races are mainly judged). What BLM is about is pretending they are equal in order to give them a chance to get equal, because we are all fed up with society being dragged down by certain groups. No doubt some people think that harsh criticism is a better way of doing that than sympathy and indulgence – it’s a moot point – but I guess there are also those who don’t want them to get equal…
