The Twitter corporation has apologized to me for suspending my account for tweeting about how the co-founder of BLM has bought a $1.4 million house in 1.4% black Topanga Canyon, home tom 1970s mellow singer-songwriters: Image
Here's a screenshot my offending post. (I wonder if Twitter has apologized to suspended sportswriter Jason Whitlock as well?) Image
Twitter has a Kafkaesque policy of not explaining which rules of theirs your offending tweet has violated. You are just supposed to guess.
It's not at all unreasonable for Twitter to ban tweets disclosing specific home addresses (e.g., John Lennon used to joke that despite his "imagine no possessions" lyric, he owns several apartments in the Dakota.
On the other hand, Topanga Canyon is 50 mountainous square kilometers. Plus, it's famous for being appealing to very white entertainers but very few black entertainers, which makes the irony of the BLM co-founder buying a house there, far from black riots inspired by BLM, funny.
There has long existed a huge genre of Celebrity Real Estate Porn. The LA Times runs 100s of articles per year about celebrities wheeling and dealing in houses. Seal Team Six could figure out where thousands of celebrities live, but most potentially violent crazies won't bother.

As the cover image of Edward Said's "Orientalism" suggests, Said was particularly outraged by European intellectual sex tourists visiting the Middle East to sexually exploit Arab boys and girls.

Anybody ever notice that Michel Foucault was exactly whom Edward Said despised?
Just as I guessed, Palestinian critic Edward "Orientalism" Said didn't much like Michel "Discipline and Punish" Foucault for his sex tourism in the Arab world. In 2000, Said gossiped about possible reasons why Foucault left a job teaching in Tunisia:

Here's my 2017 column "The Vengeance of Edward Said:"

"But it’s worth attempting to think about Said instead as a conservative with natural, healthy concentric loyalties to his clan and race..."

Generally speaking, elites take a lot of plane trips. So even at revolutionary sub-Saharan countries' national airlines, they seldom yanked the stick from the hands of white pilots for political principles.
But American elites are getting so high on their own supply that they aren't even phased anymore by the increased chance of plowing into the ground at 400 mph. It's racist to even think that lowering standards to let in more Diverse pilots might raise the risk of mass death.

A big question:

Assuming that blacks really are committing more crimes against Asians in 2021 than in 2019, is it because:

- Blacks are now committing a higher % of their crimes against Asians?

- Or, are blacks just committing more crimes overall due to the Racial Reckoning?
It's quite possible that blacks have always preyed on Asians as badly as they have in 2021, but the phenomenon was previously just swept under the rug. But some videos went viral this year, and the media stupidly figured they could blame them on Trump or white supremacy.
But it's also possible that there really is a surge in black-on-Asian violence this year.

But would that be due to blacks targeting Asians more than in the past? Or is it merely due to the massive increase in black violence ever since the Racial Reckoning was declared last May?

@mattyglesias The Grand Strategy of the Bush Dynasty going back to GHW Bush's illegal oil operations in Mexico c. 1960 was to open Mexico to American business (e.g., NAFTA) in return for opening America to Mexican immigrants.

This strategy solidified with Jeb's marriage to a Mexican.
@mattyglesias The Bush Dynasty's multigenerational grand strategy of

Invade Mexico (with American Corporations) / Invite Mexicans / Elect George P. Bush first mestizo President

is actually rather impressive in scale & elegance.

Weirdly, almost nobody ever noticed what they were intending.
@mattyglesias In 1938, Mexico nationalized foreign oil holdings and banned Americans from owning oil operations in Mexico. Texas oilmen like George HW and George W Bush have long wanted to reverse that decision to get access to Mexico.

Britain finds its long-needed Great White Defendant.

As Ayaan Hirsi Ali notes in "Prey: Immigration, Islam, and the Erosion of Women’s Rights," European women have been steadily losing their right to walk the streets of their cities unharassed or worse.
takimag.com/article/catcal…
But the women of Northern Europe weren’t supposed to talk about the increase in street crime and catcalls, because most of the men bothering them were immigrants or of immigrant ancestry. Instead, they were supposed to man up and not mention it.

unz.com/isteve/britain…
But now, a pretty blonde woman professional class woman named Sarah Everard has been murdered and — mirabile dictu — for once the man arrested turns out to be white. And a policeman! A middle-aged English family man, the Great White Defendant.

I am back from Twitter Gulag after 2 weeks. On 1/25/21, Twitter told me I must delete 2 "hateful" tweets (click below) to be allowed on Twitter, unless I appealed, to which they promised to "respond as soon as possible."

I appealed, but 2 weeks later: no response.
My first "hateful" tweet pointed out the fact that only 14 unarmed blacks were shot dead by cops in 2020, according to the Washington Post's database. (The WP's count has since gone up to 15). Try it for yourself at:

washingtonpost.com/graphics/inves…
My banned Tweet then went on to mention three famous BLM martyrs (Michael Brown, Ahmaud Arbery, and Rayshard Brooks) who were unarmed at the start of their confrontations but who then grabbed for weapons, after which they were shot dead.
