Post Racial

John Derbyshire, who has admitted he doesn't think, has an article up proving that he can't. Using "math" and "science" he "proves" that black Americans hate white Americans, kill at the drop of a hat, that most are dumber than the 10% of dumbest white Americans, and, among other horror show nonsense, if reasonable bright and presentable the most favored of all Americans. In the comments, on of his supporters, of whom there are many, takes him to task for not mentioning that black American males are sexually aggressive

What a horrid little man.

UPDATE:
It seems that there are calls for the NRO to fire the "Derb."  This needs to stop; the Right in the USA is racist and sexist.  They need to acknowledge this.  Making a case for not reading the NRO because it is filled with batshit crazy Religio-Fascists and related nutters is the way forward.  They are all of them crazy, liars, and horrid little people.  The "Derb" isn't an outlier.

 UPDATE:

Rich Lowry has a post up distancing himself and the Right from the Derbyshire debacle.  Oddly enough the comments are off. I suspect they are off because, being a race baiter himself, he is fully aware of the extent to which his readers are foaming-at-the-mouth racists.

Remember the bullshit, in the Frankfurtian sense of bullshit, about no one cares about black on black violence is bullshit, evidence that the speaker is absolutely ignorant of the reality of black Americans lives, and yet more bullshit.

UPDATE:
In 2003 Derbyshire said of himself that
I am a homophobe, though a mild and tolerant one, and a racist, though an even more mild and tolerant one, and those things are going to be illegal pretty soon, the way we are going.
For 8 years he has been an important part of the NRO and the Right wing noise machine.  Not only ought they not fire him but they should all come out and admit that they supported and support "mild" homophobia and racism.

  1. You can see where George Zimmerman got his fear of all things black.

  2. Yeah, it all became a surreal moment in America's long struggle with racist nutcases when Geraldo blamed a hooded sweatshirt for Martin's death. Rivera's claim is about one degree removed from Derbyshire's rant.

  3. The stuff Derbyshire is saying is pretty common when you get around privileged white guys talking at a country club, it's interesting that lately so many of these guys are putting their views out there for the masses, my guess is that they are so distraught we have a black president they can't control themselves.

  4. Yeah but its also that there fewer racists now and that, in fact, the racists do want their white supremacy, er country, back.

  5. I was reading a column the other day by Richard Benjamin the guy that wrote in search of whitopia and he described people like Derbyshire as a combination of really scared and smug about it, and that really des explain it. Racist like Derbyshire really do think they are the ones telling people the uncomfortable truths, when really they are justifying their fears and hatreds. Hopefully people will start to feel more comfortable calling them out on it in the future.

  6. Ideally it won't be the calling out but the foreclosure of modes of discourse that stink in the noses of civilized human beings.
