One of the Memphis Five cops, Demetrius Haley, texted a photo of the beaten Tyre Nichols to a woman, presumably the one rumored to have been involved with both Officer Haley and poor Mr. Nichols.

Today's news suggests Memphis 5 is less an illustration of how the pervasive reach of whiteness and systemic racism causes black-on-black violence, as so many mainstream pundits have hastened to reassure us in recent weeks, and more like what O.J. Simpson did to Ron Goldman.
For decades, the Memphis PD has used affirmative action to achieve a now 58% black police force that closely resembles 65% black Memphis.

Sadly, the population of Memphis has one of the highest murder rates in the country.

You get what you pay for.

As usual, Heavy.com is the site to go to for data dumps on murderers in the news. White doctor in Orange County on his bike was murdered by a middle class black Jamaican with Rastafarian and mainstream Democrat leanings.

Higher rates of schizophrenia are found among black male immigrants, rather like the Dana Point "white privilege" murderer. That's hardly proof of a link, but I wouldn't be surprised if schizophrenia played a role in this racist murder of a white doctor riding a bike.
Still, due to the higher rates of violent insanity found among black men, especially immigrants, our Establishment should think about toning down and cutting back on its anti-white racist hate speech deluge like "white privilege."

I think our current custom of saying that generations last 18-19 years, such as the Baby Boomers from 1946-1964, is silly. That's too long to have much in common. Much simpler would be to refer to decade of birth: e.g., 4 presidents are 1940s babies while none are 1950s babies.
Compared to 1950s babies, 1940s babies, whether born before or in the Baby Boom, had easier career paths due to lack of 1930s babies. Besides the 4 1940s baby Presidents (Biden, Trump, Bush, Clinton), there were 4 1940s nominees (Hillary, Romney, Kerry, Gore) vs zero 1950s babies
Another problem with our generational terminology is that the 1946-1964 Baby Boom was largely an American phenomenon. It didn't much happen in the UK. In contrast, referring to "1940s babies" (e.g., the Beatles) works globally and doesn't require a knowledge of Americana arcana.

Bill Russell was better for his team than Wilt Chamberlain was because he was focused on winning. But Russell's Celtics winning 11 titles wasn't good for the NBA's brand.

Wilt was better for the NBA because he bored easily and came up with fun ideas that brought the NBA good PR.
Wilt scores 100. Wilt will fight Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight boxing title. Wilt owns a VW Bug he drives from the back seat. Wilt builds a mansion built for a giant. Wilt becomes the only center to lead in assists. Wilt lifted weights at Muscle Beach. Wilt endorses Nixon.
I like this Nixon and Wilt picture more than the Nixon and Elvis picture.

Why have homicides and traffic fatalities soared during the still-ongoing "racial reckoning" following George Floyd's death? What Reuters found at the epicenter, Minneapolis, was more or less true across the country. Depolicing means more reckless driving and packing illegal guns
The Sailer Effect is the world's most obvious social science theory: The political success of anti-police activism means less active policing, which means more reckless driving and illegal handguns on the streets, which means more traffic fatalities and murders.
But, now it's 2023, and practically nobody in the media other than me has even mentioned the connection between the success of Black Lives Matter in 2020 and the huge surge in homicides and motor vehicle accidents that ensued.

The world will only have achieved True Diversity when a sidewalk video of an angry black woman assaulting a Middle Eastern woman by the hair could equally be from Amsterdam, Atlanta, or Adelaide.

NYT reports on Eudora, Arkansas, a depopulating small town plagued by so many shootings by teenagers that they mayor declared an 8pm curfew. You and I would guess Eudora is 90% black, but NYT features in its promotional tweet photo a rare white Eudoran:

nytimes.com/2023/01/01/us/…
In its lengthy article about teen shootings in dystopian Eudora, Arkansas, the New York Times never mentions that the small town is 90.3% black. That's Too Much Information for NYT subscribers who'd prefer to imagine Eudora is plagued by AR-15-wielding redneck whites.
If you read NYT's article on the shooty town of Eudora, Arkansas closely to the end, you might eventually figure out Eudora has a Black Illegal Handgun Violence problem. But if you assume instead it's Redneck Legal Rifle Violence, NYT won't do much to smash your stereotype.
