Blacks commit enormously more violent crime than whites almost everywhere in the world. In their most honest moments blacks know this as true. Only politically motivated blacks and whites refuse to realize the truth of blacks committing much more violent crime than whites. The whites refuse because of a self-hating noblesse oblige liberalism. The blacks refuse because of a large inferiority complex.
“Noughts and Crosses” was a popular race-flipped YA series by a Caribbean immigrant author with whites as the stabby underclass in a black majority Britain:
“At the time of the series, slavery had been abolished for some time, but segregation, similar to the Jim Crow Laws, continues to operate to keep the Crosses (dark-skinned people) in control of the Noughts (lighter-skinned people). An international organisation, the Pangaean Economic Community, exists…it is playing a role in forcing change by directives and boycotts. Britain is known as Albion, Africa is one country called Zafrika, and Scandinavia — known as Fenno-Scandia — is the only Nought country left.“
The main white character is the Celtic-sounding Callum McGregor and the black heroine’s surname is “Hadley”, like the popular Caribbean surname “Headley” as in the Hardest Working West Indian Family or the black British lady who tried to shake down the Royal family a couple of years ago.
Steve I'm currently reading Shelby Foote and it's so refreshing to read about a conflict without the constant reminders of black suffering, as if this were the only possible lens through which to view the world. I came across one of your favorite punching bags in Mr Foote's wiki, where I saw that Tennessee (sp?) Coates, who has written several books about himself, claimed that Shelby Foote, who dedicated his life to studying the civil war, could not possibly have understood the conflict due to his whiteness. One is torn between feeling contempt or envy for this awe inspiring, invincible self regard.
It's been on my list forever, but I've always run into two mental blocks: 1) historical descriptions of battles bore me to tears, and 2) getting into civil war history is a final irrevocable admission that I'm becoming an old man
Shelby Foote was here, there, and everywhere during the Civil War. He was then teleported from the 1860s into our own time to relate his experiences of the war in person and through books in a soft drawl, a sadness born of tragic loss, and the wisdom of a sage.
Adolescence seemed to me to be primarily pro-censorship propaganda. The UK online safety act is a big political issue because it demands that American companies censor British users or face fines of 10% of global revenue.
The show blames smartphones and social media for the fictional explosion in little white boy on little white girl knife murder over online amateur porn drama.
Overall, though, the meta narrative seems to be "These young white boys are getting scary angry at us posh elites. Yikes!"
1. Obviously I know what a QUANGO is. What kind of maroon doesn't. Thanks Wikipedia
2. "black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds were more likely to be jailed for some crimes than those who were white."-- excellent example of my rule for reading the news. If it raises an obvious question then fails to ask or answer it, the answer would weaken the author's argument or contradict the point of view of the article.
3. Hilariously, if you follow the link "two tier" and open the accordion for female offenders, turns out they too require special treatment for reasons. No mention of whether females go to prison more or less than hemales. I'm left to assume that England is locking up dames for offenses that would get a nice white boy a slap on the wrist and a hard candy before sending him on his way.
I lived in Oxford for a bit in the early 1990s, and the Blackbird Leys estate--ironically a project built to house workers at Oxford's once-thriving auto manufacturers--had just become super-famous for street takeovers with stolen cars. From Wikipedia:
"Around 1991, Blackbird Leys suffered from joy riding. Young men from the estate would steal cars and 'display' them (with a variety of high-speed stunts) to an audience gathered outside the estate shops (known locally as the 'Top Shops').[10] Following a crackdown by police on joyriding in September 1991, some 150 youths stoned police officers. Two women suffered stab wounds and two men suffered other injuries during the riots."
By the way, Blackbird Leys is an awesome English name, even if it can't possibly hope to compete with the all-time leader. Wormwood Scrubs, the name of a piece of common land that borders London's main prison and for which the prison is also named, is basically the Secretariat of English toponyms.
BTW- you can absolutely look like that and be an incel...if you are 23.
It must be very strange growing up today, being 13, your balls barely sentient, and already being told the darkest secrets of male/female relationships. Adolescence should be the time of pretty lies, of convincing you to work hard and do right because life can be amazing. We can't tell kids that their reward for an A in algebra II is a soul crushing moderately well paying job as a Director of Marketing for Pharmaceutical company division X. They'd all end up on the street cooking meth.
"Of course, the British Establishment views this as proof of racism. Hence, the Sentencing Council in the U.K., a recently created QUANGO delegated immense power, has announced a new “two-tier” system of sentencing to punish whites harder than nonwhites because nonwhites, per capita, commit more crimes."
The wisdom of our Founding Fathers has never been more apparent. In Britain, and Western Europe generally, there almost no constraints on the exercise of naked power by the State or the bureaucracy.
I saw a few rave reviews and decided to watch. I bailed after the first episode; I have two sons and I am well aware of who is committing the stabbings in that region of the world. Not my sons, to put it mildly. Had I not been aware of the crime stats in Britain, I may have kept watching. Because the left/Dems don't bother with silly statistics, they will not put it together - and be offended if anyone tries to point it out to them.
I found it particularly offensive that they found such a wholesome, cherubic looking boy to play the role. Hard to put into words why.
English essayist and podcaster Louise Perry has a sensible view of these matters. Here is a link to her Substack page about one of her recent interviews on the decades-long grooming/rape gangs scandal.
In UK 2025 you can be arrested and questioned for 11 hours just for posting mildly snarky comments about the hiring process for your daughter’s school:
I had a lunchtime conversation with some colleagues who are all Nice White Ladies about how realistic the show was and how terrified they were that the same thing would happen to their own kids.
Their point was less about knives and more about how social media has totally changed how adolescents relate to each other. This is completely true in my experience, Snapchat is worse than all social media put together and is very good at making teenage girls miserable. But in net terms, it means that kids today have far fewer real world interactions and far more times spent alone staring at their phone.
To my eye, this should all lead to less homicide and more suicide, but these effects are very difficult to disentangle in the real world.
“…even though, apparently, he looks like a TV star and (did I mention?) he’s 13.”
I believe Artie from the Larry Sanders show had a relevant observation.
“But you can’t talk about that or the bobbies will come knocking on your door asking you to please accompany them down to the station to assist them with their enquiries”
Watching an argument that started on English soil 800 years ago end the wrong way in the selfsame place inspires a similar reaction to the one I had watching Notre Dame burn and thinking it would collapse completely: how bizarre that it stood for almost 9 centuries and I should be alive to see its destruction.
“Poor” Starmer is at the heart of it; some of his comments on speech are positively Soviet, and he was likewise at the heart of hiding the rape of thousands of English girls. The man is evil.
You are alive to see things those who lived long ago never could imagine. And that some of those same things were ever done will be unimaginable to those who come long after you. So it is with everyone else who has ever been and will ever be.
“[Producer] Artie chews out [writer] Phil after his repeated homophobic jokes prompt a gay assistant (Scott Thompson) to hit the show with a sexual harassment lawsuit. “You know who runs this town?” Artie growls at Phil.
Aren’t these the same people that produced Clockwork Orange 60 years ago? Take out the race angle and it seems like older well meaning mothers overreacting to the effects of new social media on their children that they don’t understand. In the 1960s it was the Beatles, today it is TikTok influencers. Of course, you wonder if NetFlix has an alternative agenda.
At what point can you call the constant attempts to mythically associate white men with crime and antagonism in society at rates WAY outside their actual proportion, a “blood libel”?

"almost everywhere in the world"? Do tell where not.
P.S. Wakanda won't do
Vermont?
> Vermont?
Uh... Here's plucky Vermont Public Radio, bravely asking the tough questions back in 2018:
"Why Are There So Many African-Americans Incarcerated In Vermont?"
https://www.vermontpublic.org/programs/2018-11-02/why-are-there-so-many-african-americans-incarcerated-in-vermont#stream/0
Answer: white racism. Of course!
Even in Vermont. Oh, woe!
Why would it be any different in Vermont??
Magic dirt.

Ta-Nehisi Coates the name is. Everything you’ve said about him is correct.
It's pronounced like Tennessee though right?
Yes, I think so.
I often confuse Ta-Nehisi Coates with Tennessee Tuxedo.

I was an adolescent (just about) in the pre-Internet era.
I’m quite glad I didn’t know anything about dating discourse or mating patterns and just had to figure it out for myself

British and European governments hate their own people and think Americans have too much freedom. I don't regard them as allies.

Because in the real world, most killers are ugly, stupid, and not interesting.
This is why true crime focuses on a tiny number of cases. Most murderers are simply too pathetic to take any interest in.
It’s drama, not a documentary!

what was arties observation?
“[Producer] Artie chews out [writer] Phil after his repeated homophobic jokes prompt a gay assistant (Scott Thompson) to hit the show with a sexual harassment lawsuit. “You know who runs this town?” Artie growls at Phil.
“The Jews?” Phil says.
“No,” Artie retorts. “The gay Jews.””
Funnily enough, I was trying to find a clip to link to and tried “Artie gay Jews Hollywood” on DuckDuckGo, and the first hit is to this 2008 post on iSteve: https://isteve.blogspot.com/2008/12/joel-stein-asks-how-jewish-is-hollywood.html
Oh yeah I remember that episode. Ends with Phil and ST's character "settling out of court" haha
Great show. I need to re-watch it.
Larry Sanders Show was def ahead of its time!

“A Clockwork Orange” was inspired by the gang-rape attack on Anthony Burgess’s wife by American soldiers during the war.
That’s interesting. I wonder how much detail she would have given him.
