https://twitter.com/herandrews/status/2037230153160331741All the complexities that were pondered in the run-up to independence—the moral claims of various parties, the colony’s unique history, the economic needs of the future state—collapsed before the simple Fanonist logic of white man bad.

https://twitter.com/peter_nimitz/status/2035529037561397271Obviously “anti-racism” here doesn’t mean just the idea that racism is bad. It means the specific model of NGOs that (1) use anti-discrimination measures for lawfare; (2) lobby for infinity migrants; and (3) keep watchlists of “far-right” groups that spread “hate,” i.e. dissent from the above, and work with the deep state and other establishment organizations to weaponize those lists.


https://twitter.com/nydailynews/status/2033648254206853155A lady once bumped into my toddler getting off the train. I said, hey, watch it, and she went into a full-on meltdown (“Bitch you don’t know who you’re messing with”), following us around the station for ten minutes shouting. She harassed us on three subsequent occasions at the same stop.

It makes you think of diversity seminars and college professors. “Race communism” sounds like what it is: your telecommunications merger won’t be approved unless you give sufficient hand-outs to legally favored races.


“The old ladies of the church were getting beaten and robbed on their way to early mass, so we stopped those… We had a lot of trouble with school children being beaten... I guess you heard about the eighth‐grade girl who was raped by four boys from Audubon.”

Asians outnumber whites at Harvard, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, and many other schools. The last ethnic succession in higher ed on this scale was in the 1960s. The effects then were massive. It basically created “The Sixties.” We should expect changes of similar magnitude this time. https://twitter.com/herandrews/status/1721213152686227673


“The Protectorate Administration—such as it was—attempted nothing in the way of development and the British Somalis wanted none… Somaliland was firmly established in official minds as a ‘Type Four Dependency’: nothing was expected or possible here.”

Irish authorities will go to great lengths to stop anyone “politicizing” horrific crimes by immigrants. In 2023, the boyfriend of murder victim Ashling Murphy made an impact statement in court that was initially reported but later censored from RTÉ press coverage of the trial. The section that was deleted from news stories said: “It just sickens me to the core that someone can come to this country, be fully supported in terms of social housing, social welfare, and free medical care for over 10 years—never hold down a legitimate job, and never once contribute to society in any way shape or form.”

That is just a small preview of how things will be when women come to dominate our institutions. Back in the 1970s, a lot of people thought introducing women into institutions wouldn’t change them, or might make them slightly softer but otherwise the same. That prediction has been proven false. Look at how much the legal profession, journalism, medicine, and journalism have changed now that women are the majority of the younger cohorts. Imagine how much more they’ll change as the remaining men age out.

This is how Gov. Luther Hodges of North Carolina describes the incident in his memoir. His three main points:
Bribery was common at the Chicago Defender—five dollars clipped to a news release, brand new cars for reporters. Burns thought it was dishonest, but no one else had a problem with it. “The practice became established and was accepted by most of the black community. I had no choice but to ignore and pretend I knew little about what I viewed as a kind of bribery.”
Most interviewees had children in school when busing came in. “Our son quit takin’ his lunch because they would steal his lunch or his lunch money, so he just didn't eat.” “When my daughter went there . . . she was afraid to go to the bathroom, to the point that we had to take her to a urologist.” “He would have our son get down and lick his shoes and he would say, ‘Your people have slaved my people, now I'm gonna slave you.’”

I can name them if people want, but just look through back issues of The Lamp, First Things, TAC, CRB, Compact—you’ll see their names.

“On the fourth day, a boy from Oklahoma saw the sharks eat his best friend, and I suppose that was more than his brain could stand. He took his knife, which was about 12 inches long, placed it in his mouth (like Tarzan in the movies), and started chasing sharks. They would stay just far enough ahead of him that he couldn’t touch them. He would go under for long periods at a time, making us wonder whether he would come up. I don’t know how long this went on, but sooner or later, I noticed that he wasn’t around.” —Sherman C. Booth
On April 12, 1904, some white high-school boys were having track practice at a public park. According to witnesses, a group of 15 or 20 black boys were taunting and jeering them from the stands. Roy Martin, the team captain, asked them to stop. One of them shot him in the heart.
