Baton Rouge and White People's Money

By Rich Kozlovich

As I've watched the consequences of Barack Obama's destructive narratives on race in America playing out it seemed clear to me all this whitey is bad, whitey needs punished, whitey has to pay, and whitey has to step aside, the time would come when whitey would say... enough... I've had it with being blamed for your failures, and the disaster that's black culture in America. 

In Baton Rouge the wealthy white people have taken steps to act on that attitude and have divested themselves from Baton Rouge, and formed their own city, and guess what,  black people are angry that white people are shedding themselves from the disaster that is black run Baton Rouge.  The black population said they wanted to segregate, and now they got what they asked for.  As this black host said, black people now can’t complain about doing what they want in their own city. The wealthy white people are forming their own city. They will call it St. George. 

The majority black population wanted segregation and ignored the needs of the people who were paying for a big chunk of Baton Rouge's budget, but what they absolutely didn't want to segregate themselves from all that lovely, lovely wealthy white money.  Money that's now leaving.   The host says they should get rid of BLM, DEI, NAACP, Jesse Jackson, and agree we are a melting pot, but that option has passed, and it's passing nationwide, and Barack Obama can be held directly responsible for setting race relaxations back decades in America.

 If I understand this correctly, the Mayor said she doesn’t plan to let them leave and will continue to rule, offering the same quality services she's offered in the past to Baton Rouge..... which has enormous crime, corruption, even corruption in the schools.  Well, the wealthy white people don’t want to pay for that quality of service any longer.

My question was can the citizens of baton rouge form their own city? And surprisingly the answer was yes, they can, and "they did form their own city, a process that resulted in the creation of the new city of St. George in April 2024. This was the culmination of a years-long effort by residents in the St. George area of East Baton Rouge Parish who, after winning a 2019 ballot vote, successfully navigated a legal battle to establish their own separate government."

So, when the mayor of Baton Rouge claims she's not letting them go and will still rule over them I would assume any such efforts would criminal, or did I miss something?   Nah, it really doesn't matter what the Mayor of Baton Rouge says, since she has no say in this from this point on.

Democrats Show Their True Colors

Kurt Schlichter | May 19, 2025

You’ve got to admire the Democrat Party’s innovative plan to center its ideology around contempt for America’s largest ethnic group. If nothing else, the last week or so has demonstrated that the key sacrament of the Democrats has stopped being the murder of little babies and has become the hatred of white people. Since somewhere between 60% and 70% of Americans identify as “white” – the notion of “white” is, like most ethnic categories, ambiguous and ultimately silly – this is, as the kids say, a bold strategy. Let’s see how it works out...... To Read More...

Editor's Note:  While we're at it let's make this an intentional affliction of all leftists and tyrants who insist on attacking whites and demanding whites agree to it.  Here are a few pieces I've saved on the South African whites escaping their genocide. I will have an article of my own on this soon.  RK

Margaret Brennan Refuses Marco Rubio’s Word That White South African Refugees Are Escaping Genocide -  It’s been very telling watching ‘journalists’ and their fellow Democrats go from ‘We love refugees’ to ‘We must stop these South African refugees because they’re white.’ People in the South African government are openly calling for these fleeing people to be murdered and their land seized. Of course, Margaret Brennan of CBS News acts like none of this is true...........

Black Oppressors and Whited Sepulchres - Welcome to the violence-loving, Caucasian-hating monsters in positions of power in South Africa...........Unlike most so-called refugees who have entered the U.S. in recent years, these ones were honest-to-God families – husbands, wives, and small children. Unlike other refugees, moreover, they arrived in the U.S. waving not the flag of their old country but the flag of their new one. Moreover, their gratitude was palpable. Their smiles were infectious. They gave every indication of being law-abiding, hard-working people who would be loyal American citizens and a boon to the U.S., not a burden.......

Afrikaner Double Standard Reminds Me Why I Left the Episcopal Church Behind - After decades of partnering with the U.S. government to serve refugees, The Episcopal Church ended the relationship this week, because the Trump administration asked them to serve refugees whose plight contradicts the woke Left’s grand narrative.........

South Africa Urges White Farmers Not to Relocate to US  A third, surprise issue which drew a lot of attention was President Trump's decision to extend refugee status to white South African farmers, a small group under extreme duress as South Africa's black-majority leftist government seeks to expropriate their land without compensation, leaving the country another Zimbabwe, and enacts discrimination in jobs and everything else, as well as exposes them to physical danger from violent crime which goes unenforced, as some of the political parties are out chanting "kill the Boer." 

It's a textbook case for refugee status, but the left's reaction, screaming unfounded accusations of the refugees as line cutters, vowing to get out of the NGO business to avoid servicing them and other bizarre behavior speaks of a refusal to see what is going on in that country, a refusal to accept the refugees' humanity, and a bias in favor of fake refugees from underdeveloped countries looking for welfare and Americans' jobs, of whom millions have already been let in, fake asylum claims in hand. Trump's allowing of the South Africans in exposed the hypocrisy of the left in its claims about favoring immigrants, and made them look like heartless pigs.   

South Africa’s President Calls Afrikaner Refugees ‘Cowards’ for ‘Running Away’ -Ramaphosa, who styles himself as a pro-business moderate, and is set to speak to U.S. President Donald Trump later this month, made the remark at a surprise visit to a local agricultural convention, where he apparently aimed to change perceptions of the government as hostile to farmers — one reinforced when he signed the Expropriation Act earlier this year, allowing the seizure of property without compensation......“Transformation” refers to South Africa’s policy of redistributing wealth by to race, under penalty of law.....

 South Africa Publishes Steep Race Quotas for Jobs, Fines for Non-Compliance - South Africa’s Department of Labour and Employment published a set of racial quotas this week that applies strict rules across 18 different industries and threatens businesses with steep fines if they do not comply........

Black terrorists talk ‘seizing the means of production’ in South Africa - As the South African government ramps up the persecution of and aggression against white Afrikaners, having passed a new “land reform” law (legalized land seizures without compensation) in January of this year, a clip from a six-year-old Lauren Southern documentary is going viral, reminding the West (and everyone else) that not only is the anti-Boer agenda in South Africa very evil, but very Marxian as well.

South African Police Open ‘Treason’ Investigation into Critics of Government - South African police confirmed Monday that they have opened a “treason” investigation into four individuals who are believed to be associated with Afriforum, a group that advocates for the rights and interests of Afrikaner farmers.

Episcopal Group Quits Refugee Program over South African Arrivals - An Episcopal group is quitting a taxpayer-funded refugee program because President Donald Trump is importing white South Africans whose lives are threatened..............Tutu Lives - The Episcopal Church betrays refugees – because they’re whites from South Africa....... 

The Episcopal Church Will Resettle Muslims, Not Christians - The joke about all the churches and the Jewish groups involved in refugee resettlement is that they’ll resettle anyone and everyone except their own people. Protestant churches and Jewish groups that once got into refugee resettlement to resettle Swedish immigrants and Jewish refugees from Russia will now only resettle Afghans, Somalis and gang members.  Now the Episcopal Church made it official by refusing to resettle Afrikaner refugees from South Africa’s racist criminal regime because they’re the wrong skin color and religion.........

California Doubles Fine on White Drivers

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

Two men are speeding through a construction zone on a California freeway. They have identical speeds and driving records.

They’re both stopped and get tickets. One man pays $500 and the other $100.

How is that possible? One driver is white and the other is a member of a minority group.

This illegal experiment in disproportionate racial impact known as ‘AB-645 Vehicles: Speed Safety System Pilot Program” passed the California State Assembly 62-9 and the Senate by 29-6 (the ‘no’ votes were nearly all from Republicans) before being signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom. And the systemically racist program is now being rolled out in LA, San Francisco, and other areas before the two-tier fine system can be implemented statewide.

Contrary to its name, AB-645 doesn’t crack down on speeding, instead it actually gives speeders a pass as long as they meet an economic test which will lead to more speeding.

And, like many DEI programs trying to bypass Supreme Court rulings outlawing equity-based racial discrimination, it’s using income tests to disguise its underlying systemic racism, but the racial bias is written right into the text of the bill which falsely claims that “traditional enforcement methods have had a well-documented disparate impact on communities of color, and implicit or explicit racial bias”, mandates that its governing body will work with “racial equity” groups and orders a “racial and economic equity impact analysis” of the impact of fines on minorities.

Speeding enforcement is a matter of math and the least racially biased form of enforcement there is. Two men going 25 miles above the speed limit should receive identical fines.

California’s Democrat majority has now created actual systemically racist enforcement.

Here’s how it works.

AB-645 requires LA, San Francisco and other areas to slash fines and penalties by 80% for “indigent” individuals and by 50% for low-income individuals “up to 250 percent above the federal poverty level.” According to the California Health Care Foundation, only 21% of low-income individuals are white, 60% are Latino and 7% are black.

Using California’s MediCal estimates and average household numbers, members of the average black household would be eligible for a 50% reduction, many Latino households would, but few white and Asian households would qualify for this 50% ‘reduction’ on their tickets and fines.

Those in the ‘indigent’ category, meaning their income is at 125% of the federal poverty level, receive not only an 80% discount, but the opportunity to substitute community service insead.

In San Francisco, one of the locations where this experiment is being rolled out, only 2.6% of white households would qualify for this 80% discount, but 17% of black households and 9.5% of Latinos would. In Los Angeles, only 6.9% of white households, but 14.7% of black households and 13.1% of Latino households would be eligible. (Only 7.9% of Asian households would.)

This is actual systemic racism and disproportionate impact on action.

That’s why the white driver pays $500 and the minority driver pays $100 even though they committed the same offense and have the same record. Another way of looking at it is that the white driver has his ticket and fines increased twofold to fivefold in the name of equity.

Is this experiment in systemic racial equity going to make California roads any safer?

The California Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board claimed that black people made up 15% of traffic stops, three times their 5% population, Latinos, who make up 34% of the state, made up 45% of those who were stopped, while white people, who made up 34% of the state, made up 30% of traffic stops. Asians make up 15% of the state, but only 5.3% of traffic stops.

California authorities predictably blamed this on racism without explaining why officers and patrolmen, including in minority forces in major cities, were biased against blacks and Latinos, but not Asians. Despite the history of bigoted jokes and stereotypes about Asian drivers, they were actually far less likely to be stopped than white drivers were. If California law enforcement officers were conducting traffic stops based on their biases, shouldn’t they have been giving in to their prejudices about ‘Asian drivers’ stopping Asian drivers more? But they weren’t.

What these numbers actually revealed was that traffic stop demographics tend to follow the indexes of stable behavior, such as middle-class membership, two-parent families, and lack of involvement in criminal activities, which taken together are predictive of most other behaviors.

A California Policy Lab report castigating the California Highway Patrol for racism was forced to admit that “black-white and Hispanic-white disparities in stop rates for non-moving violations made a small contribution to overall disparities in stops rates.” It found a 17% higher stop rate for black drivers than white drivers for moving violations and a 6.8% higher stop rate for Hispanic drivers. The basis for these disparities was not race, but actual violations.

Assuming that all of this is racially driven also assumes that patrolmen are able to guess the race of a driver in a moving vehicle with incredible pinpoint accuracy before they stop him.

These numbers are not evidence of racial discrimination, but of different offense rates among different groups. By offering 50% and 80% lower ticket and fine rates for groups that are more likely to engage in driving violations, California Democrats are not only engaging in systemic discrimination, but lowering the punishment for bad behaviors by the most likely offenders.

And that will lead to more speeding, more car crashes and more deaths. And those deaths will disproportionately affect minority communities where the bad drivers they are protecting live.

Rather than doing minority groups a favor by letting minority drivers off the hook, California’s new two-tier fine system will lead to more deaths of more minority drivers and pedestrians in the same way that their police defunding programs had sent black murder rates soaring after 2020.

Democrats claim that systemic racism has lethal effects on communities. This systemic racist program actually will cost more minority lives. And leave their blood on Gov. Newsom’s hands.

Kamala Was Raised in Hate

“The black man cannot take anymore, he is now looking to burn” 

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

Donald Warden had a message, “the time has come to break with white America.”

After the Watts riots, Warden, who would later convert to Islam and take the name Khaled Al-Mansour, released an album titled “Burn, Baby Burn”, celebrating the riots and looting. “The black man cannot take anymore, he is now looking to burn,” he warned.

Warden’s vehicle for spreading his hate was the Afro American Association. And that was where Kamala’s parents met. The ‘Association’ had been created to study “Black Identity.” It banned white people and even non-black ones from joining. With only one exception. Kamala’s mother.

Shyamala Gopalan, who had been raised in a radical leftist family hostile to British colonialism, eagerly latched on to the hate group and the young black Marxist economist she met there.

Along with Donald Harris and Gopalan, Kamala’s parents, other members included Huey Newton and Bobby Seale with whom Warden helped set up the Black Panther Party. Newton, a domestic terrorist, would go on to murder a police officer, at least one girl, and commit numerous other crimes. Seale was responsible for a number of murders as well.

Kamala has recalled coming “down the stairs of her childhood house in Berkeley to see FREE BOBBY carved in wet cement, after the Black Panther leader Bobby Seale was arrested.”

The purpose of the ‘Association’, according to Al-Mansour, was to teach “racial pride.” Meetings of the racist hate group were held at the home of Mary Agnes Lewis, a founder of college Black Studies programs, who would serve as Kamala’s godmother. Other members and associates of the hate group would also play crucial roles in raising Kamala when her mother was away.

Kamala has claimed that she was a “daughter of the civil rights movement”, but the Afro American Association was actually a black nationalist group opposed to the NAACP. It was against “integration” and emphasized the separatism and superiority of black people. (Kamala’s mother remained the only non-black person allowed to be part of the racist hate group.)

The vice president not come out of the civil rights movement, but from a group opposed to it.

Aubrey Labrie, Kamala’s ‘Uncle Aubrey’, who observed that, “Fidel Castro and Che Guevara were the heroes of some of us” was a member of the ‘Association’ and a close friend of Maulana Karenga, the founder of Kwanzaa, who would later go to prison for torturing two women with a soldering iron.

Labrie was an editor of Black Dialogue magazine which featured racist calls to violence.

In one article, “Uncle Aubrey’s” younger brother hailed the Watts rioters “who burned the city of angels and shook the crumbling white power structure” as “one battle in the ‘war of Armageddon’ or the war between the black and white.” The magazine praised the “extremely effective tactic of igniting fires to local parasitical white business communities.”

It is not difficult to draw a direct line from that to Kamala’s support for the BLM rioters.

It was Uncle Aubrey, not actually related, who brought Kamala to his own aunt, whom she described as a “second mother” who helped raise her when her mother was not around. It was the racist black nationalists who raised Kamala and taught her their worldview more than any of her Hindu family did. And it’s their hatred for America that Kamala appears to carry with her.

Every time Kamala takes an oath on a bible, it’s the one brought by ‘Uncle Aubrey’.

The Afro American Association banned white people and engaged in orgies of hatred that appear almost unbelievable. Warden’s deranged level of racism was not unusual.

The Afro American Association featured a performance of The Dutchman, a play by Amiri Baraka, with its call for the mass murder of white people. “Murder. Just murder! Would make us all sane,” the black protagonist intones. This was a message that Baraka (formerly LeRoi Jones) would return to again and again in poems and plays. “Come up, black dada / nihilismus. Rape the white girls. Rape / their fathers. Cut the mothers’ throats.” Baraka harbored a special hatred for Jews, ranting “I got the extermination blues, jew-boys. I got the Hitler syndrome figured.”

‘Uncle Aubrey’s’ Black Dialogue magazine helped popularize and promote Baraka’s hate.

Media stories have portrayed the world of the Afro American Association as a cozy community and it was for those who were black and did not violently fall afoul of its leaders. But that’s true of most hate groups which promise an insular world conditioned on hostility to the outside world.

Kamala is not responsible for the bigotry of her parents, but she was raised in that world and continues to embrace it. Her entire appeal to the black community is based on those associations with some of the most hateful figures in the period. And it is worth asking how many of her radical views, including her support for race rioters, come out of that world?

Especially because she would not be the first.

After Khaled Al-Mansour knew Kamala’s parents, he promoted the career of another aspiring black president. Al-Mansor, who converted to Islam and befriended a Saudi leader, had raised money for Barack Obama’s Ivy League education and solicited recommendation letters for him to go to Harvard. The Obama campaign quickly denied the story, but it never went away.

Khaled Al-Mansour’s racism being associated with not only the first black president, but the first black vice president, would not be wholly surprising. Obama and Kamala have a lot in common. Both were the products of third world elites resentful of British colonialism. Both had absent black fathers, radical non-black mothers and are reflexively hostile to America.

But Kamala was raised on a level of hate far beyond anything that Obama grew up with.

Mansour, Baraka, Karenga and many other Afro American Association members would be driven to extremes by the hatred of the Nation of Islam. This was the hatred with which Kamala was raised at an early age. It’s a hatred that she has never disavowed. Instead, in the Senate, she conspired to stop the FBI from investigating black supremacist hate groups.

Has the hatred with which she was raised ever left her soul?

Kamala’s Racism

@ Sultan Knish Blog



It was 2003 and Kamala Harris was making her closing argument in the race to become San Francisco’s district attorney. Her opponent, Terence Hallinan, the incumbent DA, the son of a Communist father, had been backed by George Soros as one of his first pro-crime DAs, had come out against the death penalty, for drugs and against the police, and that gave him impeccable leftist credentials. How was Kamala going to run to the left of a man like that?
The answer came in the form of a postcard mailer featuring black and white photos of the last ten DAs with the words, “It’s time for a change.”


What did her leftist opponent have in common with Charles Fickert: a tough Republican DA known for going after leftist anarchists in court and after their supporters outside it with his fists?

Not a thing except that they were both white men.

When all else failed, Kamala had one argument to fall back on. Race. It was the same argument that she deployed in the 2020 primaries against Joe Biden when she falsely claimed to have been saved from a life of racial segregation by being bused out of Berkeley. Not only did she know that her race baiting was a lie, but during the vice presidential search committee interview, she was unapologetic about pulling a racial hoax in the hopes of winning an election.

“She laughed and said, ‘that’s politics.’ She had no remorse,” a committee member recalled.

But there was more to Kamala’s racism than just rhetoric.

As California’s attorney general, Kamala boasted of imposing the country’s first ‘unconscious bias’ or ‘implicit bias’ training program for law enforcement. Based on the precepts of critical race theory, such programs blame police officers for higher crime rates among some minority groups and are premised on the racist idea that all white people are ‘unconsciously’ bigots.

“We need to have an honest conversation that includes addressing the way implicit bias in policing undermines the public’s trust,” Attorney General Kamala Harris argued.

After the Ferguson race riots, Kamala described the BLM violence and its associated movement in her inaugural address as an “important conversation” about “injustice” to which she would respond by launching a “complete review of our special agent training on implicit bias”.

Kamala’s racist white people training courses for law enforcement was created in partnership with Jennifer Eberhardt whose dubious studies supposedly demonstrated that people were primed to see violence around black faces. However Eberhardt’s studies supposedly also showed that “if white or black people had been exposed to black faces beforehand they were a lot quicker to detect blurry images of apes” because “there’s this tight association between blacks and apes and there’s a racial imagery there that’s affecting our visual perception.”

The implicit bias training ushered in by Kamala was relying on the ‘research’ of a woman who claimed that white and black people subconsciously believed that black people were monkeys.

In her inaugural address, Kamala described herself “as a daughter of Brown v. Board of Education and the civil rights movement, I know we can make progress.” This was an implicit rehearsal of the same lie about attending segregated schools that she would later deploy at the 2020 campaign debate, but it was also an assertion that her support for ‘implicit bias’ training with its conviction that everyone is racist was advancing, rather than attacking, the civil rights movement. The civil rights movement had now come to mean that everyone was racist and secretly believed that black people were monkeys unless they were trained out of that belief.

Eberhardt’s bizarre ape research, conducted on mostly white graduate students, was used to demonize police officers and justify implicit bias reprogramming. “African-Americans are still dehumanized; we’re still associated with apes in this country. That association can lead people to condone the beating of black suspects by police officers,” Eberhardt had argued.

Even as crime was rising, Kamala doubled down on the deconstruction of public safety and law enforcement in the name of racism while weaponizing race in preparation for her Senate run.

In the Senate, Kamala pressured the FBI to stop monitoring black supremacist hate groups like the ones responsible for the murder of 5 police officers in Dallas and that went on to kill three people at a Kosher supermarket in New Jersey. As she prepared for a presidential run, Senator Kamala Harris rebuilt her political identity around racism and race-baiting.

“We must speak this truth: the very foundation of our country was built on the backs of enslaved people,” Kamala tweeted in praise of the 1619 Project. She appeared at the convention for Al Sharpton’s National Action Network hate group and endorsed slavery reparations. Kamala bizarrely claimed that black people were still having heart attacks due to the legacy of slavery.

Kamala’s racebaiting however failed to hold on to black support. After accusing Biden of racism to break away enough black voters to win the primaries, she still ended up polling at 2% among women and 4% among black people, but blamed her failure on sexism and racism.

“Is America ready for that? Are they ready for a woman of color to be President of the United States?” Kamala complained before being forced to drop out of the 2020 primaries.

The only lesson that she came away with was that she had not been racist enough.

While the BLM race riots were destroying American cities, Kamala praised the racist hate group’s rallies. “They’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop, and this is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not gonna stop, and everyone beware, because they’re not gonna stop.”

She fundraised for a bail fund that freed rioters and criminals with the intention of putting more of the BLM rioters back on the street in Minneapolis and other parts of the country.

Before the election, Kamala tried to lay personal claim to the mantle of BLM. She hailed the racist hate group as “the most significant agent for change” then claimed “I grew up in protest” and had “been in marches since I was in a stroller”.

Kamala’s embrace of black nationalism and contempt for America evolved alongside her political career in the two decades since she had won an election by dismissing her opponent as just another white man. What had begun with a mailer turned into support for race riots.

What factors beyond political opportunism drove Kamala’s racism? Kamala has credited her pastor, Rev. Amos Brown, a friend of Obama’s racist and anti-American pastor Jeremiah Wright, for inspiring her politics. Brown, a member of several reparations commissions, had defended Wright’s racism and allegedly spouted some of her own.

Rev. Brown had claimed that America was a racist country and that “America has not changed” since the days of segregation. “This sin of race is so deep, so pervasive in the body politic of America that if we don’t find a remnant to help turn things around, America is going to go down.”

Kamala praises Rev. Brown and appears to have absorbed his view of America, but there is also another less obvious influence driving her toward racism and hatred of America.

The irony of Kamala’s black nationalism was that she was not only biracial like Obama, but had often emphasized the Indian identity of her mother at least as much as her father’s race. The irony lay even deeper in that Kamala’s black father had rejected such simpleminded racialism.

Shyamala Gopalan, Kamala’s Brahmin Indian mother, had always been the bigger black nationalist than Donald Harris: Kamala’s Jamaican father. Harris, the Marxist professor whose academic career led to a split with Kamala’s mother, emphasized a classic Marxist understanding that prioritized class over race. His writings show not only a marked skepticism of what would become the fashionable tenets of critical race theory, but a willingness to dissect his own complex family history and ancestral connections to slave owners and slavery. This attitude is not atypical of many Jamaican intellectuals who see the racial interplay of the past as a matter of history rather than the eternal victimhood and crippling entitlement of the 1619 Project.

Kamala’s black nationalism did not come from her black father, but her radical leftist Indian mother who despised America and white people far more than Donald Harris ever did.

“I raised them in an African-American community, for a very special reason,” Gopalan, a successful cancer researcher, claimed. “It doesn’t make a damn bit of difference if your color comes from India or African Americans, because this country is racist based on color.”

Kamala was raised by her mother to hate America and see racism everywhere. Along the way, she also discovered that racism could be advantageous to her career. And from fake stories of segregation to subconscious apes, she embraced the hate and never looked back. Daniel Greenfield is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Race Mongers Are Consistent Liars. So Why Are We Shocked When They Race Monger and Lie?

 By Rich Kozlovich

Recently we're once again seeing accusations of "racism" by a spoiled black athlete, Tyreek Hill, because he was pulled over for speeding, and now according to Hill:

 ‘He Gotta Go, Man',..... “because in that instance right there, like not only did he treat me bad — you know what I’m saying — he also treated my teammates with disrespect. He had some crazy words towards them, and they ain’t even do nothing! Like, what did they do to you? They’re just walking on the sidewalk. So, I don’t know, bro. He gotta go, man, and [there are] not too many times that ‘Cheetah’ say people gotta go, but you? … Gone.”....(more here)...

Yessir, he was only pulled over because he was black, except the body cam footage tells a different tale.  He was pulled over for speeding, and he was cuffed because he acted like a privileged jerk. As  NBA star Jonathan Issac states, Tyreek Hill’s behavior showed black Americans how not to act. 

Here's the fact of the matter. When pulled over by the police, you do as your told, your shut your mouth and move on.  Can cops be jerks? Oh yeah...you bet, and a lot of people have been confronted by jerk cops, of all races, but they're the cops, and if there's an issue, then there are procedures on how to handle it.  This unending claim of racism by miscreant blacks has worn out, except for race mongering jerks.

According to NAACP chapter President, blue lives don’t matter, promoting this kind of uncooperative behavior.  Behavior that's led to more tragic outcomes than being handcuffed.  

As the NAACP chapter president in Springfield, you deliver exactly the wrong message and as such you sir are part of the problem. After the shooting of two officers in Compton who were just sitting in their police car doing their job, I have had enough.

Remember four years ago when that study came out claiming white doctors were effectively killing black babies. It was a lie.  As the author points out:

Scientists finally re-analyzed the study and found that it was riddled with errors—but that didn’t matter then because it furthered the narrative.............Just because leftists say it’s a scientific study, that doesn’t mean it is. The funding goes to people who come out with results that advance the goals of pharmaceutical manufacturers and political activists. As the Free Black Thought warns, we owe it to ourselves and to society as a whole not to accept any study at face value unless we have an assurance that it’s passed replication and, if at all possible, reproducibility.

The racist lies are ubiquitous.   Science is riddled with revoked studies.  What to do about woke science journals that are filled with junk science, and worse yet, work to destroy valid science via censorship.  

Tags: 

Ricky Pearsall was murdered by a 17-year-old black.  However, it wasn't really murder, he was defending himself and I guess the gun he just happened to be carrying just accidentally went off during his act of thievery.  How do I know he was black.  Because his race was never mentioned in the articles, and generally that's a tell, because the media works to hide the crime rate in black America.  If it turns out I'm wrong, I'll apologize.  

These race mongering liars are fostering an uncontrollable society among black youth, and it's impacting everything in America, as student behavior is the real reason for teacher burnout.  As for low pay, that's a joke.

So what's the race mongering left wanting? Laws ‘specifically’ for black people, because they deserve it, and they want more, and forever.   America has devoted billions to black America over the last 60 years and for the most part, it's been wasted.  Start first by fixing black legitimacy, then there won't be a need to "help" these people, oh  but that's racist, and homophobic, because..... and get this....“Ideas about the superiority of the nuclear family are deeply connected to the origins of white supremacy . . . .”   White racism isn't the problem for black America, it's black racism, black culture, and leftist corruption of our culture. 

REVIEW: ‘Am I Racist?’ September 12, 2024 by Andrea Widburg A brilliant, laugh-out-loud exposé of the race hustling industry by a talented provocateur who never misses a beat and is delighted to embarrass those who deserve it......

There are three words that are among the most misused in America. Racism, discrimination, and prejudice.  

First, racism means hating, or at the very least, disliking people simply because they belong to a certain race.  Prejudice means to prejudge.  Discrimination means to decide what you like and dislike.   

I don't dislike people for their race, I dislike them for the way they act, and that obviates the idea of prejudgement.  Evaluation isn't prejudgement, and there's absolutely nothing wrong by discriminatorily saying, "I don't like that!"    

The response from the left?    

David Jolly: Scaring White America Is the ‘Ethos of Today’s Republican Party’..... “I can draw a direct thread to the words of Katie Britt in her response to the State of the Union. They were essentially black and brown people are coming into your white communities and you should be scared. She gave this speech about how terrifying it is to be a white woman because black and brown people might come into your neighborhood. This is not just this campaign strategy, the ethos of today’s Republican Party.”

Well, perhaps based on what we're seeing going on in Springfield Ohio, and the crime statistics of America as a whole, white people need to be scared, and if that's the ethos of the Republican party, I say thank you.   If any group represents all the things I dislike, I will happily make that judgement, and I don't care if they're black, it's about how they act. 

We call any bias against a race, racism.  Any bias against women is sexism.  But for some odd reason any expressed bias against white people is called humor.  Paraphrased quote by Warren Farrell

Crime Prevention Isn't Racism

By Rich Kozlovich 

For forty years I was an exterminator, which means running a route, so I spent a lot of time in my truck.  Radio degenerated, and got really tired of the music, and the talk shows with so many nitwits spouting off about things they clearly didn't understand. 

So I bought some great tapes from old radio shows, and books by Louis L'Amour.  Louis L'Amour loved the Texas Rangers.  One of them he talked about, who before he became a Ranger, was a horse rancher.   

Three men came onto his ranch and stole his horse herd taking off to Mexico with them.   His friends wanted to form a posse and go after them but he said they’d be in Mexico before that, so he took off after them alone.  He rode night and day until he caught up with them.  A shoot out entailed with him killing two of them and arrested the third. 

When he returned with the herd and told what happened, they asked where’s the prisoner?  He said since he’s been riding day and night he was exhausted and falling asleep in the saddle.  The rustler told him when he fell asleep he was going to kill him and take the herd to Mexico.  He realized the truth of that and decided he needed to find a way to secure him for the night so he could finally get some sleep, safely.

So he tied his hands behind him, put him on his horse, threw a rope over a tree branch tied it off and tied the other end around his neck, and went to sleep.  When he woke up in the morning he said wouldn’t you know it, that darned horse walked off and left him in the middle of the night.

Well, that’s not what happened.  He just hung the man.  They knew he hung the man.  And they didn’t care because they were going to hang the man anyway.   

So, what’s the moral of this story.  It’s important to know the difference between right and wrong, and what needs to be done about it.

Whiteless Privilege

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

Books have been written, movies made and college courses taught about white privilege. Denouncing the evils of whiteness indiscriminately allows people of all races, even white people like Robin DiAngelo and Tracie McMillan, to earn a very good living from hunting for white privilege.

Less discussed is ‘whiteless privilege’. Even when one of the biggest beneficiaries of whiteless privilege, Vice President Kamala Harris, has made that her identity. What race is Kamala? Kamala is at once black and Indian, and none of the above because what matters most is not what race she is, but what race she is not. By not being white, she is a person of color and thus whiteless.

Kamala has white ancestry by way of her father, but in a world where men can be women and women can be androgynous and can then march in pride parades as Androgynes for Gaza while wearing half-burkas, what you are matters much less than what you identify as and what you don’t identify as.

One of the most powerful women in the country, raised by a globe-trotting cancer doctor of Brahmin ancestry currently identifies as black because it allows her to cash in on unearned white guilt by way of a made up story of having been subjected to white supremacy as a little girl in Berkeley, California.

Whitelessness is defined by whiteness in the same way that all parasitic identities depend on a host identity. To be whiteless is to be anything but white. People of color, BIPOC and other ways of describing whitelessness are not truly races, but forms of opposition to whiteness. That is why minorities with actual histories of oppression can still be condemned as adjacent to whiteness.

These two poles reveal that in the critical race theory paradigm there are really only two races: whiteness and whitelessness, forever pitted in conflict and defined in opposition to one another. Black, Hispanic or Asian, already dubious categories, are subsumed into one of these political categories.

And it is politics, above all else, that defines whitelessness.

Hispanics with the wrong political views become white Hispanics. Asians who step out of line can turn white adjacent, and black conservatives, like Larry Elder, are labeled as the black face of white supremacy. The sorting between white and whiteless has nothing to do with DNA or complexion. Neither the one drop rule nor the paper bag test matter. All that matters is their political genome.

The Old Left similarly defined working class not by income or social status, but by politics. Rich radicals were said to be fighting for the working class while conservative workers were aligned with the bourgeoisie. Modern identity politics similarly operates as a front group for the Left that allows its activists to posture as victims, speak on behalf of an entire group and demand power in its name. Those who will not go along are not part of the group whether they are workers or people of color.

Leftist political identities are binary, political and fluid. This was bad enough when applied to social and economic classes, but when applied to races produces manifest absurdities like black white supremacist and wealthy oppressed victims of undefined race but extremely defined politics.

And that is Kamala.

Identity politics defines opposing identities, the privileged strawman and his oppressed antithesis, but while the privileged identity is a closely drawn caricature, the antithesis is whatever is its opposite.

Kamala’s privilege, like that of Obama’s and of many other successful and wealthy figures who come from wealthy and successful parents, is that they are whiteless. Being whiteless confers instant political privilege on them and all they have to do is sustain it by claiming to be the victims of white people.

Whiteless privilege carries with it the presumption of victimhood. The details are unseeded and the claims, like Kamala’s busing story, are rarely scrutinized. That is whiteless privilege too. For the whiteless, all women are to be believed and verdicts on claims of racism are rendered before the inquiry. This is not the way things work for women who are white or minorities who are white adjacent. Especially if they accuse a public figure with whiteless privilege. There is never any excuse for whiteness (except constant apology and self-examination) and none needed for whitelessness.

That is also whiteless privilege.

Anything that the whiteless do is seen as wonderful simply because they do it. Whiteless privilege means having any ambition described as ‘breaking the glass ceiling’ and worthwhile because it is historic. Everything a whiteless person does is an act of resistance and resilience akin to marching with MLK at Selma. Talking is unpaid emotional labor, going to work is thriving in the face of systemic racism, watching TV is self-care and listening to music is channeling BIPOC joy.

Whiteless privilege is being rewarded for the most basic activities with lavish praise.

And so the media celebrates every mundane thing that Kamala does, like getting off a plane, wearing a pantsuit, or buying a record, as an epochal event the way a parent gushes over a toddler learning to walk. This is the same whiteless privilege that Barack Obama benefited from in public life.

Being the center of every conversation is also whiteless privilege. A white person is warned not to center themselves while whiteless people are encouraged to always be the center of attention. Whiteless privilege also shields rudeness and angry tantrums. Expecting manners of those with whiteless privilege is considered tone policing which is far worse than the rudeness and bad manners.

Whiteless privilege insulates the bearer from criticism. It rewards and encourages mediocrity, rudeness, and racism. And it is hard to think of a public figure more stuffed with whiteless privilege than Kamala.

After a political career of being coddled for her identity, she is now enjoying a political campaign during which she is being coddled for her identity, but rather than making her better, it made her worse.

Kamala Harris made it to the vice presidency without learning such simple tasks as how to run a political campaign, how to give a speech or how to answer questions from the press. Rather than suggest that she learn to do these things, we are instead told that they suddenly no longer matter. Not when Kamala leaks joy through her pores and is thriving just by being the incredible being that she is.

Such coddling never did her any favors and it isn’t doing her any favors now. The media seems to have forgotten that its coup against Biden was triggered by years of coddling and denial. Pretending that Biden was fine didn’t make the problem go away. But Biden was white while Kamala has whiteless privilege. Coddling her isn’t just political calculation, it’s the foundational binary of progressive politics which is defined by pitting people against each other around artificially manufactured badges.

Whiteless privilege is like most antithesis a form of projection. Everything that white privilege is said to be, whiteless privilege actually is. And like most forms of antithesis, whiteless privilege exists only to negate. Kamala is the perfect beneficiary of whiteless privilege because she stands for nothing, has achieved nothing and has nothing to call on except her whitelessness.

Whitelessness is Kamala’s only achievement. Unlike race, it’s not an unearned one.

Kamala worked for her whitelessness. Given a choice between merit and identity politics, she chose to identify by identity, she chose whitelessness which was the perfect choice for the witless. Kamala has nothing to run on except her whitelessness and no reason to run except whiteless privilege.

The Answers Are All in the History Books, And The Answers Are Not Pretty

Definition leads to clarity, clarity leads to understanding, understanding leads to wisdom, wisdom leads to good decision making.

By Rich Kozlovich

There are some historians I've read a lot over the years.  Nikole Hannah-Jones and the blatant falsehoods of her 1619 Project, the leftist corruption of the FDR administration, and more.  Yet we still see society embracing the very things history proves are disastrous.  The fact is all this screaming about racism in America is a corrupt scam destroying America.  And it's provable.  

There's no reason for society and these highly educated politicians to fail to see all this.  We have the history that tells the real story, it's recorded history, and it's history that's incontestable.  Yet, they fail to act on that history. 

I think is an excellent writer and one of my favorite historians.   Recently he published this piece, The Logic in All the Madness, Biden's agendas may have fundamentally changed America for decades, saying:

Most Americans believe it is unhinged to deliberately destroy the border and allow 10 million illegal aliens to enter the country without background audits, means of support, any claims to legal residency, and definable skills.............

Most Americans poll strong support for Israel. They oppose the Biden effort to triangulate by revisiting the old Obama nihilist agendas of emboldening the Iranian/Hezbollah/Hamas/Houthis axis to play off against our traditional allies of Israel and the more moderate Arab regimes.....

.......by allowing leftist campuses to normalize anti-Semitism and pro-terrorist advocacy, and by destroying the once close alliance of Israel and the United States, the left feels it will be almost impossible to go back to the pre-Obama/Biden years. Their legacy, they hope, is a mendicant Israel utterly dependent on U.S. largess—a condition itself predicated on essentially destroying the idea of a secure Jewish state within its present borders.

  • Salman Rushdie: A Palestinian State Would Be Hamas "Is this what the progressive movements of the Western Left want to create?”
  • Israel Cannot Maintain The Status Quo In Gaza Sha'i ben-Tekoa If Israel, having achieved a military victory, returns control over Gaza to the same radicals who control it now, she is re-committing to slow suicide. ..... Indeed, like the Nazis, the Brotherhood’s religion has had a 1,400-year history of mass murdering Jews, starting with the decapitation of hundreds at the Khaibar Oasis, a slaughter carried out by Muhammad himself.  In every century thereafter, Muslims massacred Jews.............

We're facing some serious economic issues that will be difficult to overcome, but we're facing some serious demographic issues that may be more difficult to overcome.  The left’s promotion of the gay agenda and the denigration of a traditional heterosexual society, and the nuclear family, along with the environmentalist’s demands we have less children to save the planet is having, and will have, devastating long-term demographic consequences.   

Then we have Muslim immigration, and make no mistake,  Muslims don’t buy into any of that. They have children - lots of children - and in many western nations they’re openly practicing polygamy, and European nations are allowing it. At what point is there a point of no return? If these leftist multiculturalist schemes continue western civilization is soon to become an Islamic nightmare. 

  • A Nation That Doesn't Control its Borders, Isn't a Nation
  • Prominent Muslim Declares: 'We Are On The Road To The White House' - The Islamic Takeover of America Unveiled
  •  Israel Cannot Maintain The Status Quo In Gaza Sha'i ben-Tekoa If Israel, having achieved a military victory, returns control over Gaza to the same radicals who control it now, she is re-committing to slow suicide. .......A self-respecting Israel must finally gird its loins (a Biblical expression), and demand its right to sovereign ownership of Gaza. And as the legitimate landlord, it will have the authority to evict squatters, who, in the last election and via every opinion poll since, have supported the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas, whose goal is to finish Hitler’s work. Indeed, like the Nazis, the Brotherhood’s religion has had a 1,400-year history of mass murdering Jews, starting with the decapitation of hundreds at the Khaibar Oasis, a slaughter carried out by Muhammad himself.  In every century thereafter, Muslims massacred Jews. They butchered them in Toledo, Spain, in 1066; so did the rampaging Al-Muwahiddun (Almohades) in 12th-century Andalusia and North Africa. The Muslims expelled the Jews from Yemen in 1679; murdered hundreds in Algiers in 1805; and that’s just the shortlist...............

What's going to happen to Europe in five years?  It will continue to cease to exist as we know it. Violence is going to erupt all over Europe as the native populations begin to realize these leftists controlling their lives commitment to "multiculturalism" is a suicide pact with those who hate and despise everything Europe is or was. And there will be violence on the order of chaos!  

Even if the native population just sits down to die the Muslim population will translate all the violence that's going on in Muslim dominated lands to Europe, forcing all native Europeans into dimmitude, and killing the rest, including those of a different Muslim sect, whom they consider heretics. We will see the one thing we've all felt was impossible - an out and out religious war.  

Europe is breeding itself out of existence, as is Russia.  Even if they stand up against the insanity and drive Muslims out of Europe, and that's what they will finally conclude will have to be done if they're to survive (Think Spain after the defeat of the Moors) they will not have the numbers to properly rebuild their economy and America will not have the economic wherewithal to bail them out is we did after WWII, since America will be having it's own economic reality check trying to meet the financial obligations of Social Security and Medicare, not to mention the national debt.   

Europe will be on it's own and then will turn to the United Nations to provide for their security and economy, and that's a leaky vessel if there ever was one. Europe is doomed! And so is Russia!

One question remains. Currently Europe is ruled by socialists favoring internationalism. With the recent elections we're seeing a trend to turn to socialists of a nationalist flavor.  Actually, it doesn't much matter because they still won't have the population necessary to restore their economy, and even if Europeans realized the demographic time bomb they're facing and started have a ton on babies it would still take twenty years before that could make any difference. 

Russia has Putin and he's merely playing a delaying game with all his seemingly clueless actions in the Ukraine and the Middle East. Putin's trying to save the ethnic Russian people. But no matter, Europe is doomed and so is Russia! In thirty years they won't have a majority of ethnic Russians in their own country.

The same question applies to all Western countries including the United States is why do western cultures need Somalis, Afghans, Eritreans, Iraqis, Iranians, Syrians, etc?  The answer?  We don't need them and we shouldn't want them since they don't want to assimilate, they want to destroy, and the policies being carried out by the Democrats and the Biden administration actually enable that destructive behavior, and may take decades to repair, if it can be done.  

Taking a look at what the Democrats have done to the nation's major cities seems to me these major cities are doomed, and may take decades to return, if ever. 

The only thing Muslims support is perpetrating violence, robbery, rape, having slaves, having multiple wives, the end of women’s rights, the end of freedom of religion and the end of any legitimate form of democracy and dhimmitude. Dhimmitude is where non-Muslims are taxed by Muslims. We need to get this: Islam is antithetical to Democracy.  Islam isn't a religion!  Islam is a political criminal movement masquerading as a religion. Just because they've managed to go on for over 1400 years is immaterial. 

Can anyone not wonder that leftism is a form of insanity?   Everything they promote and support is anathema to Muslims and yet they stand shoulder to shoulder in support of Muslim immigration into western cultures, the destruction of Israel by Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran.  Make no mistake about this.  If Muslim culture dominates the west they will eviscerate the leftists who supported them.  These "Fags For Hamas" demonstrators must be insane, because they'd be among the first to be thrown off high buildings. 

This is Islam, and Islam means “submission”, and it’s not just rhetoric to Muslims. They are deadly serious about everyone submitting to Islam, and they will use any and every form of violence to make that happen, including the murder of other Muslims with whom they disagree, and that isn’t a small number.  If someone says they want to kill you, believe them.

Western civilization is descending into a leftist multicultural Islamic nightmare right out of Dante’s Inferno filled with bestial appetites, violence, perversion, fraud, malice, hatred of their fellow man and intellectual fraud.

This is the disaster leftists have made for society, and now we're going to have to deal with it.  Make no mistake about this, if western civilization is to survive it must collectively recognize Islam is a cancer that must be eradicated from their society, but that’s not going to happen as long as multicultural socialists continue to rule. 

It's time we started paying attention to history, because that's where all the questions have the correct answers, and the historical lies being promoted in America's education institutions must be attacked, and punished by suing them and ending their funding.  The "historian" liars like Zinn and Nicole Hannah-Jones must be challenged and called to task, if history is to be the firm paved walkway leading to the stepping stones of the future.

Racism is a Corrupt Scam Destroying America

By Rich Kozlovich

 On April 22, 2024 Robert Weissberg published this piece, Black Wars of Liberation Come to America, saying:

Main Image

Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently appointed Zakiya Carr Johnson as the State Department’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer. Her mission, according to Blinken, was to help build a workforce that reflects America. .....Blinken justified this diversity effort in terms of national security, saying, "We will continue to pursue this mission aggressively, because recruiting, nurturing, and promoting the most capable workforce possible is critical to our national security."

What a load of horsepucky.  This person hates America, calling it a "failed historic model" that needs torn down, along with all the traditional values that made America great, and says all of America's problems are the result of white supremacy, structural racism, patriarchy, and heterosexism.  In other words Johnson wants to punish people for being white, turn all power over to blacks, destroy the nuclear family, and promote homosexuality.  

What could possibly go wrong?  

We have seen this movie before when African and the Caribbean blacks seize power from white colonial rulers and blacks replace white civil servants and gain control over the economy. It's a disaster for whites, but also for blacks.......she would institute new rules to replace its “white” culture. Gone would be a culture that stressed punctuality, strict rules regarding English grammar and language, and merit as measured by written tests for promotions. This is about power, not improving national security. Guaranteed, white government employees would find this new regime oppressive, just as Zakiya Carr Johnson finds the current atmosphere oppressive. This would be a revolution.  

The number one problem for blacks in America is other blacks. Not whites, not discrimination, not past history, it’s black attitudes and liberal solutions that excuse a lack personal responsibility.

When black kids abuse other black kids who are doing well in school as “acting white” you have to ask: Where did they get that from? Their parents? Their culture? Those who profess to be black leaders?  America's major cities are almost exclusively being run by blacks, and they're all far left wing racists, and guess what?  These cities have been turned into economic disasters and crime ridden sewers.  

Andrea Widburg ran this piece on April 21, 2024, A wheelchair-bound girl is beaten, and we need to talk about it, and this video is really disturbing showing the merciless beating of a poor young black crippled wheelchair bound girl being beaten, and done so by other black girls.  

Name one nation anywhere on the planet that's controlled by blacks where this is any different.   

"Today South Africa experiences high levels of poverty, crime and many vital public services barely work."

Since 1950 there have been 492 coups, some successful, some not.  But 220 of those were carried out in Africa. There are 54 nations in Africa, and 45 of them have had coups in that time period.  Of those coups that are successful; most of them only hold power for less than seven years. 

For good or ill, I've always seen the world a little differently than everyone else. In 1960 I was 14 and worried about the oil crisis. It didn't happen for another 13 years.   I've watched America's race issue play out from the late 50's and it was clear the "coloreds" were treated badly, and contrary to most white thinking at that time, I agreed that was wrong, and needed to be fixed.  Then "negroes" organized to bring about fair treatment.  After that "blacks" demanded preferred treatment!  They were followed by "African Americans" who demanded the power to control everything based on race, or else!  Demanding "compensation" in one form or another because they had ancestors who were slaves.  Okay, then lets start with the Africans and Arabs who enslaved their ancestors in the first place.  

Approximately 620,000 young white men lost their lives in the Civil War to end slavery in America.  A massively high price which no other nation in the world throughout all of human history has ever paid to end injustice!  Certainly not the African nations that did the actual enslaving, nor the Arab nations that thrived on the slave trade, which is still going on in Africa.  And they're demanding "compensation" from people who are descendants of people who never owned slaves, and whose ancestors weren't even in America when there were slaves. 

The "race industrial complex" is a fraudulent scam to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion,  is irrational!  It's leftist philosophy without form, acceptance without accomplishment, and incompetence without consequence, and it's destroying America, along with western civilization.  Over recent years we've seen constants that are in my view, bizarre!  Academic standards are a joke.  Scholarly integrity is a blatant falsehood.  Scientific integrity has been bought with government grant money.  The left destroyed all that and replaced it with corruption of thought.  

The story is a sad commentary on the cultural degradation that's destroying America, and the left, the race hustlers, and the Democrats own it all, and I think the vast majority of people could care less what these leftist misfits think or say.   The time when academia, the media, and leftists bureaucrats will pay for its folly is coming, and not from the right.  There are no boundaries on the left, and soon it will be impossible for these nitwits to be able to satisfy the  demands of the next level of leftist maniacs.  Violent leftist maniacs. 

What's holding it all together is the economy, and if things continue as they are, that's going to tank. If or when that happens it seems clear to me we'll come to a "them or us" civil explosion. Then decent people on both sides will be forced to choose, and based on historical precedent, when a society falls apart in that manner, there will be no mercy, as it's always the most radical who lead the mayhem, and I'm not optimistic.

Everyone Is to Blame Except Blacks

March 29, 2024  Gregory Hood, @ American Renaissance

Editor's Note:  I've not asked for nor have I received permission to publish this article.  However, I feel this article needs the broadest distribution possible.  If the author or American Renaissance object, I will break this down to a link. RK

One wonders what South Korean car executives thought when they first heard about the charges against them. A lawsuit is for victims who have been harmed to recover damages. However, much as the Civil Rights Act has largely replaced the Constitution, Anglo-Saxon norms are being replaced by the idea that blacks are not responsible for their actions. Thus, when blacks began stealing Korean cars and bragging about it on TikTok, many people blamed the manufacturers, Kia America and Hyundai Motors.

In March 2023, the attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin sent the two companies (they have the same parent) a letter telling them to offer free software upgrades or other ways to stop theft.

Part of it read:

The surge in thefts of these vulnerable vehicles has been truly shocking. In 2020 there were 895 thefts of Hyundai and Kia vehicles in Milwaukee. In 2021, there were 6,970. . . .  Thefts of Hyundais and Kias in Minneapolis increased by 836% in 2022 over the previous year. Year over year from 2021 to 2022, St. Louis County, Missouri, saw a 1,090% increase in thefts of Kias and Hyundais. . . . From 2019 to 2022, Philadelphia witnessed a nearly 800% and 400% increase in thefts of Kias and Hyundais, respectively.

. . . .  In the first three weeks of January 2023, Kias and Hyundais made up 44% of all car thefts in Washington, D.C. (176 thefts out of a total of 393), which was a sharp rise compared to July 2022, when Kias and Hyundais only accounted for 9% of thefts (31 out of a total of 332). In Buffalo, New York, the numbers of stolen Kia and Hyundai vehicles have skyrocketed, from 400 during all of 2022 to 350 in just the first two months of 2023.

The letter implied the thieves were the victims:

In one example, a teen was killed after stealing a Kia Sportage and fleeing police before colliding with another vehicle. In another, four teens were killed after the stolen Kia they were riding in crashed into an embankment at high speed. . . . In Portland, Oregon, a 16-year-old has been involved in at least 3 Kia thefts, two of which ended in dangerous accidents.

Videos on social media show that almost all the thieves are black, with a few other non-whites. White YouTubers have made documentaries about the “Kia boys.” One, in which the narrator interviews foul-mouthed blacks bragging about their adventures, has more than 7.7 million views. The documentary led to an arrest, but the thief was arrested for stealing a car not long after he was released. The “Kia Boys” should not be confused with the “Game Over” kids, another group of young blacks stealing cars. There are even Kia Boys rap videos.

Kia and Hyundai said they would pay victims of theft over $200 million to settle a class-action lawsuit, but a federal judge rejected the settlement. Seattle, Baltimore, Cleveland, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee, and Columbus are also suing. The Louisville Courier Journal published a story implying Louisville was doing something wrong by not suing. Two days later, the city sued. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, a former black nationalist, told Al Sharpton on MSNBC that car companies are responsible for making sure that cars “are not so easy to steal that they are a tempting, attractive nuisance for young people.”

There are other suits against manufacturers. Chicago is suing Glock because it claims you can use a “Glock switch” to turn semi-automatics into machine pistols. Black mayor Brandon Johnson is not tough on crime, notably warning people not to “demonize” blacks after mob violence, and suggesting that reparations will lower crime. However, he is taking advantage of the Firearms Industry Responsibility Act that Illinois passed last year, which allows such suits. Twelve states and Washington DC have also sent a letter to Glock warning it to preserve evidence, suggesting they will soon be suing.

Suits like this are not just a shakedown. They can shut down business that enjoy theoretical constitutional protection. The precedent was set when Remington, America’s oldest gun manufacturer, settled a suit filed by families of victims of the Sandy Hook school. They claimed the company marketed its AR-15-style rifle irresponsibly to susceptible young men. The company paid out $73 million and declared bankruptcy. Glock could share Remington’s fate, and responsible gun owners would be punished.

Just about everyone knows smoking is dangerous, but menthol cigarettes are especially dangerous because blacks like them.

In April 2022, the FDA proposed a ban:

In 2019, there were more than 18.5 million current menthol cigarette smokers ages 12 and older in the U.S., with particularly high rates of use by youth, young adults, and African American and other racial and ethnic groups. Published modeling studies . . . estimate that 324,000 to 654,000 smoking attributable deaths overall (92,000 to 238,000 among African Americans) would be avoided [by a ban] over the course of 40 years.

Banning Menthol Cigarettes: A Social Justice Issue Long Overdue” argued against menthol cigarettes not just for blacks but for “lesbian, gay, and bisexual smokers, smokers with mental health problems, socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, and pregnant women.” The NAACP supports a ban, claiming menthol cigarettes victimize blacks. The Biden administration backed away from an initial decision to ban menthols, delaying it until this year.

Paulette Gipson, NAACP Compton, Co-Chair of Black Leaders Against Tobacco Injustice and Betty Williams, President, NAACP Sacramento, right, looks inside menthol cigarette-filled casket, surrounded by white flags symbolizing black deaths from tobacco as they bring awareness to Prop 31 at Fremont Park in Sacramento, July 28, 2022. (Credit Image: © Paul Kitagaki Jr./ZUMA Press Wire)

The reason? The Hill wrote that “a vast majority of Black smokers use menthols, and in an election year, when every vote matters, President Biden can ill-afford to alienate any potential constituency.” An estimated 85 percent of blacks smoke menthols.

The next wave of lawsuits may be against food companies. “People of color have the highest obesity rates in the US,” Vox noted in 2018, and “food marketing is part of the problem.” Since then, there have been many similar complaints:

Someone will argue that minorities were tricked into eating unhealthy food, just as the Sandy Hook shooter was tricked into buying a rifle.

The law has always been a powerful weapon, but liability is expanding. If car and gun makers are to blame for criminals’ actions, and tobacco and junk food companies make blacks sick, practically anything could be grounds for a suit. Already, there are studies alleging that “structural racism” makes blacks sick. In some countries, pro-white speech is banned because it poses a “danger;” likewise in America, judges could well rule words “harm” people.

The “Kia Boys” precedent could mean that everything has to be designed to prevent blacks stealing it or using it to commit crimes, but the blacks won’t be held responsible. This would mean higher costs, less freedom, and ruinous lawsuits. The diversity tax keeps going up. If blacks are exempt from personal responsibility, the rest of us pay up and also take the blame for their poor decisions.
