Whites are Responsible for Everything Bad . . .
According to the Mainstream Media

Hollywood’s idea of what the world would be like without white people.

2,412 words

We overcame Jim Crow by 1965, but where was the promised land of universal brotherhood that Comrade Stanley Levison’s golem St. Dr. Rev. MLK Jr. promised us? In the 1970s, the earliest I was on the scene to remember it, there was a certain prickliness about race, but things were remarkably more laid back than in later times. By the politically correct 1990s, we were walking on eggshells.

In 2008, the country elected the great savior Obama the Lightworker in hopes that he’d heal our racial divisions once and for all. Of course, race relations then got remarkably worse, including with the rise of Leftist militants enjoying the state’s tacit approval. Then there was the Long Hot Summer of Floyd, which touched off the Great Awokening — and here we are in our present nightmare.

In other words, evidence continues to mount that multiracialism just doesn’t work. Is the mainstream media telling us this and warning us to abandon this failed social experiment before things go further off the rails? Of course not. The presstitutes are doing whatever they can to push an anti-white agenda and otherwise throw sparks into America’s racial powder keg. No matter how much of a stretch it is, we can count on our buddies in the Lügenpresse to come up with something inflammatory. Here are some examples.

Hanoi Jane puts her foot in her mouth

Everyone’s favorite has-been celebrity laid an egg yet again. Of course, some journalist saw fit to signal-boost her utterance — strangely, in an online magazine about economics. This was documented by the MarketWatch article “Jane Fonda says climate crisis can be blamed on racism: ‘Where would they put the sh—? Not Bel Air.’” Although Hanoi Jane didn’t quite accuse whites of deliberately poisoning non-whites, the implication is there. (If I’m reading too much into it, please go to the comments section and tell me why.)

In an interview, she said the following:

“Well, you know, you can take anything — sexism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, whatever, the war,” Fonda said. “And if you really get into it, and study it and learn about it and the history of it, everything’s connected. There’d be no climate crisis if it wasn’t for racism.”

Moreno asked Fonda to explain, and she replied, “Where would they put the sh—? Where would they put the poison and the pollution?

“They’re not gonna put it in Bel Air. They’ve got to find someplace where poor people or indigenous people or people of color are living,” continued Fonda, herself worth an estimated $200 million after a six-decade career in entertainment. “Put it there. They can’t fight back. And that’s why a big part of the climate movement now has to do with climate justice.”

You can buy Beau Albrecht’s Space Vixen Trek here.

Back on Planet Earth, someone who is going to build a smelly chemical plant or oil refinery will need to have three things. First, these consume a lot of land, so it’s necessary to buy where prices are cheap, which naturally excludes places like Bel Air from consideration. Second, it should be conveniently located near a proletarian workforce, not someplace where the residents are too bougie to get grease on their hands. (What race this workforce happens to be isn’t important to management, as long as enough can be found who know how to turn a wrench.) Third, it should be located away from any municipality where the residents will fight tooth and nail in court to prevent it from being built.

Hanoi Jane is therefore correct on item three insofar as the economic factor is concerned. On the other hand, introducing race into the discussion was unnecessary. Again, a would-be factory owner isn’t going to think, “Oh boy, here’s our chance to stick it to the blacks, indigenous, and people of color!” Instead the thought will be, “We need to buy some cheap land near a working-class labor force that will be happy we’re providing jobs and won’t sue us to Kingdom Come to keep us out.” Lastly, the more that Hanoi Jane keeps her gob shut, the better.

MarketWatch did it again

After signal-boosting an aging Hollywood airhead with this hype about whites poisoning BIPOX because we’re a bunch of dicks, now Andrew Keshner of MarketWatch implies that whites are hogging tax advantages. This comes from the article “‘Taxpayers bring their racial identity onto their 1040’: White families are reaping over 90% of the benefit from this powerful tax rule.”

First, what I’d like to know is on which box of the IRS Form 1040 income tax worksheet it asks for our ancestry, so that the government can cut us unfair breaks. Also, the government explicitly hands out goodies to blacks, Jews, and immigrants, but since when have they explicitly done anything for whites as whites? What the article does say is this:

White families are pulling in more than 90% of the tax benefits that come from lower tax rates for capital gains, more than 90% of the tax benefits from itemized charitable deductions and 90% of the deduction attached to qualified business income — all while representing an estimated 67% of families, researchers said.

In the tax breaks for homeownership, white families take in 84% of tax benefits from the mortgage interest deduction, said researchers in the Treasury Department’s Office of Tax Analysis.

Then it states that Hispanics and blacks benefit more from earned income tax credit. It says little about that afterwards, and of course there’s nothing in the article condemning it or agitating to do away with these disproportionate benefits. I’ll add some words of explanation. Earned income credit is basically a weird liberal reverse income tax that benefits lower-income working people, with children providing additional benefits. (For instance, as per the 2020 instructions, a single mom with four kids and an adjusted gross income between $18,400 and $20,150 will max out the benefit at $6,935.) What if someone has no income at all? I’ve even heard of unscrupulous accountants setting up fictitious small businesses on paper to help their welfare entrepreneur clients milk The System. Anyway, other than that:

IRS tax forms do not collect data on race and ethnicity, so researchers used predictive models and estimates based on tax-return data samples to reach their findings. The paper’s authors stressed they were not arguing for or against certain tax rules, but attempting to shed more light on the tax code’s unequal impacts from the view of race and ethnicity.

Ah, predictive models and estimates, is it? The cynic in me wonders how much fuzzy math might be involved. It also states that this was the first study like this of its kind. Could this be a lead-in to the Bidet junta taking a page from Ibram X. Kendi and making demands for social leveling policies, by any chance?

“Taxpayers bring their racial identity onto their 1040. You don’t stop being a Black [sic] person or a Hispanic person or a white person just because you fill out a tax return. You are Black [sic] in a society that has systemic racism. You are Hispanic in a society that has systemic racism. That doesn’t stop at the tax-return edge,” Dorothy Brown, the author of “The Whiteness of Wealth: How the Tax System Impoverishes Black Americans — and How We Can Fix It,” told MarketWatch.

It’s curious that the article capitalizes “black” but not “white.” Is this perhaps because the writer is jewish? I’d prefer not to throw it back or otherwise get all Gerald L. K. Smith here, but (((they))) really need to stop doing that.

The report cited Brown’s work, and the Georgetown Law professor said its findings are a “really good first start” that largely confirmed what she has been studying on provisions including capital gains and the mortgage interest deduction.

Well, that’s special. So the Bidet junta’s Treasury Department came out with this interesting study, the first of its kind. This official government document cites some book claiming the tax system makes blacks poor, and has policy recommendations to “fix it.” Obviously such changes would be advantageous to the author’s race. Well, at least I can pronounce her name, unlike that of the first author on the list of citations: Dzifa Adjaye-Gbewonyo.

It also reaffirmed her view that the best solutions to the tax code’s disparities are extremely simplified rules and minimal deductions that avoid special treatment and exceptions, the professor said. Brown is a member of the Treasury Department’s Advisory Committee on Racial Equity, but was not involved in the report’s writing or research.

Since she’s been invited to this government advisory board, it’s likely that Dorothy Brown Sugar will be making frequent policy recommendations. If the next buzz in Congress is to scrap the mortgage interest deduction because it’s unfair to the precious minorities, we’ll know who to thank. The Treasury Department should ask for David Duke’s input, too; I’m sure they’re interested in a voice from the white community for the sake of balance, right?

Although the clickbaity title more or less accuses whites of hogging tax benefits, the real deal is that these benefits aren’t about race, but rather typically apply to people at relatively higher income levels. The mortgage interest deduction, for example, is about the only special break that the government gives to the middle class. The reduced rates for capital gains are somewhat advantageous for middle-class investors. The best bang for the buck by far is for very wealthy investors, however, which is why the politicians won’t touch that one. Around 2012 or so, The Lightworker had to play budgetary brinksmanship with a government shutdown in order to get Congress to approve a mere 2% capital gains hike.

Blacks and other precious minorities can benefit from the tax breaks already in place by buying more houses and stocks. But first, all they have to do is boost their average income. I hear that getting a job does wonders.

Aside from all the shrieking about Joe Sixpack getting a few hundred bucks of his own money returned to him by itemizing his mortgage interest, what’s unsaid speaks volumes. They covered budgetary input, but not output. The silence is deafening in light of the trillions wasted on social leveling schemes since LBJ’s administration. Just to name one of them, what about the precious minorities disproportionately hogging the welfare trough?

Black cops beat black arrestee to death, whites blamed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzHYRhnUSPI

The Clinton News Network came out with an article the title of which says it all, to-wit: “Opinion: The police who killed Tyre Nichols were Black. But they might still have been driven by racism.” In brief, this was a traffic stop that got very ugly, and the arrestee died of his injuries.

I haven’t investigated in depth, but right now it looks very bad. Granted, it’s possible there’s more to the story. In such cases it usually takes a while for the dust to clear, so to speak, so it’s possible that further information might surface after a couple of weeks or so. But what it’s presentlylooking like is that Tyre Nichols was simply a decent fellow whose life got cut short by police brutality. The only good news to come out of such a grim event is that all of the arresting officers were also black. If they’d been white, chances are that there would now be coast-to-coast riots, possibly raging for weeks and with the usual collateral damage of deaths, injuries, and countless businesses burnt to the ground.

But the plain facts are never an obstacle to whites getting the blame. The mainstream media has developed a curious narrative that in any cop-versus-black incident, whether violence was justified or not, whites are to blame. Now this is the case even when the cop isn’t white. As the op-ed explains:

One of the sad facts about anti-Black [sic] racism is that Black [sic] people ourselves are not immune to its pernicious effects. Society’s message that Black [sic] people are inferior, unworthy and dangerous is pervasive.

Well, I’ve heard of “internalized homophobia,” which I would presume is about 175ers who don’t attend Oscars parties for fear of perpetuating stereotypes or some such. The phenomenon under discussion might therefore be “internalized Afrophobia,” I suppose?

Assuming that the black policemen were fully in the wrong (as appears to be the case) when they beat the very misfortunate Tyre Nichols to death, what’s the most likely explanation? Was it because they had a self-hatred complex, or were they merely making an incorrect assumption about one of their brethren based on (very well-supported) societal stereotypes? On the other hand, could it have been a basic lack of professionalism on their part — to put it far too mildly — or perhaps sadism? While we’re at it, were any of them affirmative action hires, and did any of them have disciplinary problems that were overlooked for the sake of diversity quotas?

The author indeed builds a case for what he’s saying. It’s more coherent than what the Florida politician Maxwell Frost said about it. But some of it just doesn’t fly. (The weakest part was the lyrics from NWA; since when is rap music a standard of anything?) The article does pick up and has something sensible to say by the end, but the middle section left a bad taste. Blacks should be able to form their own opinions about their own Volksgenossen without our help. The author’s argument basically boils down to this: “Black people can harbor anti-Black [sic] sentiments and can act on those feelings in harmful ways.”

Welcome to our world. Whites have endured the most intense psychological warfare campaign ever conducted, that has been ongoing for a century and counting. Some of us even believe the indoctrination; they’re called Leftists, and they’re assisting in their own destruction. For one thing, the wonderful mainstream media (hello, CNN!) nowadays endlessly spins anti-white narratives to the point of absurdity, including blaming us for everyone else’s social problems and bad behavior. When blacks receive as much gaslighting and demoralizing propaganda as whites do, then I’ll listen to arguments about internalized afrophobia.

Blaming Whitey for all the world’s problems is so common that I regard it as an ongoing joke. I’ll usually roll my eyes and snicker whenever critical theory professors and lying journalists open their fat yaps to utter this sort of thing. But blaming anyone other than blacks for black-on-black violence is really stretching it. Are we the only race in the world that possesses agency, while the others are all automatons only capable of reacting to something we do?
