Identity Politics: Yes, Racial Divides Gave Obama the Win
Whatever the impact of Sandy, ethnic voting played a huge factor in the outcome of this campaign. Obama won despite receiving the lowest share of the white vote for any victorious candidate of any party in a two-way race. His 39% share of white voters was lower than the 42% of Mike Dukakis in 1988, when he lost 40 states. (Bill Clinton only got 36% of the white vote in 1992, but that was in a multi-candidate race).
Obama also got record lows of support for a winning Democrat in a two-way race among white Christians (less than 35%), white Catholics (40%), white Southerners (less than 30%!), rural voters (39%), white “born-again” Christians (less than 20!), and Jews (less than 70%). Not surprisingly, Romney set a record among Mormons (nearly 90%).
So despite these losses, how did Obama win? With a record urban minority turnout. For the second national election in a row, black turnout equaled white turnout, and Hispanics continue to set new records. (Hispanics were 8% of all voters in 2008, 10% in 2012). Obama won almost 100% of the tallies in urban black precincts and over 70% of Hispanics and Asians and Native Americans. Obama’s support among gays went up by at least five points.
In two elections in a row, Obama has received over 15 million black votes, compared to just nine million for Clinton 20 years ago. In 2012, Obama received nine million Hispanic votes, compared to just 3.5 million for Clinton 20 years ago. The nation’s two largest minorities gave Obama a lead of roughly 20 million votes. That was too big a hole for Romney to dig out of, but he almost did it by winning an 18 million vote plurality among white voters.
Simply put, a massive minority turnout saved President Obama. (Kudos to his precinct captains for the best Democratic get-out-the-vote drive since 1960.)
Speaking of Hispanics: If Romney had matched the 38-40% of Hispanics won by Presidents Nixon, Reagan, and George W. Bush in their successful re-election efforts, he would have narrowly won the national popular vote — and carried Florida and Colorado.
Obama won about the same share of the black vote, and scored a 10-point gain with Asians and four points with Hispanics — but dropped three points nationally among whites.
Obama also turned in the best Democratic performance in cities (over 70%) after FDR in 1936, who won close to 80% of the big city vote. His huge margins in Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Detroit helped him carry the crucial industrial states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan. Perhaps the auto bailout helped make the difference there.
But probably the biggest story of 2012 is the dramatic ethnic shift in the electorate. In 1980, when Ronald Reagan pummeled Jimmy Carter in a 44-state landslide, the racial/ethnic breakdown of the voters was 10% black, 2% Hispanic, and 88% white. This year, the voters were 13% black, 10% Hispanic, 3% Asian, 2% “Mixed/Other” — while white voters were down to 72%. In his two big wins, Mr. Reagan averaged 60% among whites, 10% of blacks, 35% of Hispanics, and 60% of Asians. Plugging those averages into the America of 2012 would turn the Reagan landslides of the 1980s into barely 50% of the national popular vote.
Anybody who believes for a nano-second that amnesty to tens of millions of Mexican National disrespecters of US sovereignty is going to ingratiate Hispanics to a Republican party is fooling themselves. They will be portrayed as the roadblocks who finally caved….thus solidifying Hispanic loyalty to the Democrat Party for generations.
Identity politics have a longer history than pressure from Hispanics/Latinos. I wrote about the vogue for identity politics in the feminist movement here: http://clarespark.com/2012/11/15/female-genitals-as-red-flag/. It has brought our nation down as much as any other factor. But we should look at Progressive initiatives for “ethnicity” and “race” as ways to sort out people. Straight out of German Romanticism. Deadly to rational politics.
Amen. Please get off the amnesty bandwagon. Hispanics will always preferentially vote for the Democrats. Please. If I want to read this drivel passing for wisdom I can always read Karl Rove or pick up the Wall Street Journal.
When Hussein was elected four years ago I believed then that we had just experienced our “Sack of Rome” moment; the moment when the Constitutional Republic of old died an ignominous death and a tragic Dark Age was upon us. Subsequent events during the past four years did not shake that belief. Now, the re-election of Hussein, given all that we have seen during his first term, has made blatantly obvious what I realized four years ago. The only thing left for those of us who do not want to live as chattel slaves to a Marxist federal government is for the “red” states to begin the process of nullification and secession to free ourselves from the worst excesses of the Marxocrats in the “blue” states. They will not change and neither should we. We must recreate a new nation dedicated to the Constitution and the Rule of Law beyond the reach of the Marxocrats Leviathan state. There is no other option if we are to ever live as a free people again.
Dear Red States:
We’re ticked off at your Neanderthal attitudes and politics and we’ve
decided we’re leaving. We in New York intend to form our own country and
we’re taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren’t aware that
includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Illinois and the rest of the Northeast. We believe this split will
be beneficial to the nation and especially to the people of the new country
of The Enlightened States of America (E.S.A.)
To sum up briefly:
- You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states
- We get stem cell research and the best beaches.
- We get Andrew Cuomo and Elizabeth Warren. You get Bobby Jindal and Todd Akin.
- We get the Statue of Liberty. You get OpryLand.
- We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.
- We get Harvard. You get Ole’ Miss.
- We get 85 percent of America’s venture capital and entrepreneurs
- You get Alabama.
- We get 2/3 of the tax revenue. You get to make the red states pay their fair share.
- Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22% lower than the Christian Coalition’s,
We get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms.
With the Blue States in hand we will have firm control of
- 80% of the country’s fresh water,
- more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce,
- 92% of the nation’s fresh fruit,
- 95% of America’s quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners)
- 90% of all cheese,
- 90 percent of the high tech industry,
- most of the US low sulfur coal,
- all living redwoods, sequoias and condors,
- all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.
With the Red States you will have to cope with
- 88% of all obese Americans and their projected health care costs,
- 92% of all US mosquitoes,
- nearly 100% of the tornadoes,
- 90% of the hurricanes,
- 99% of all Southern Baptists,
- virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.
We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.
- 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale,
- 62% believe life is sacred unless we’re discussing the death penalty, gun laws, or unjustified wars,
- 44% say that evolution is only a theory,
- 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and
- 61% of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher morals than we lefties.
Harvard and Yale aren’t Ivies?
Well, LisaK, I’m all for you “blue” state people getting whatever you want. Good and hard. Just not on my dime. And I don’t need to create some sort of “list” that supposedly shows the oh so obvious wonderfulness of an enlightened atheistic Marxist despotism. We all know the score. So let’s agree that you can build your utopian paradise and let the “red” states recreate the Constitutional Republic. We’ll see whose vision represents the best model for the future.
Nasty thingie. I wonder if you have the nerve to mock other religions.
We have the oil and food. Frankly, with the real divide between cities and the rest of the country, you can have cunning zucchini from the occasional farmer”s market, tragic urban crime and poverty, and universal wi-fi.
I’ll take self sufficiency, voluntary community that doesn’t involve adults playing volleyball like giant hipster toddlers, neighbors who will show up in an emergency to rebuild your fence, and, oh yeah, guns.
As your tech geniuses try to figure out how to burn old weekly alternative newspapers to create fuel for your i-pads so you don’t miss Portlandia on cable, we’ll be praying without irony and eating delicious pie.
– the one-party State of California is doing oh so well.
Ya froggish enough you want to split things up, then by all means – jump.
If we use 2005 economic numbers, the South as it’s own nation would be the 4th largest economy in the world. Toss in the other western Red States from this past election that have never been considered “Southern” and I suspect that number might move up to 3rd.
Geographically, the Red States have an inhabitable land area larger than all of Western Europe – and it’s full of most of the major deposits of oil, natural gas, coal, and the majority of arable farmland within the US now that allow those cities you consider to be so wonderful to actually exist in the first place.
Oh wait, I forgot to include Alaska! That bumps that land area AND energy reserves up drastically! We could be our own OPEC at that point!
In population, if the Red States were their own country it would easily be at least 12th in population ranking in the world.
As for military assets, somewhere around half or better of the US military as of 2007 was comprised of Red State volunteers, and a sizable portion of the military bases (including land based nukes in the western red states) would be under Red State jurisdiction.
An independent Red State nation would get most of the Mississippi River and all of the economic activity that surrounds it, plus a generous number of port facilities that would facilitate international trade.
The red states would get most of the land that enjoys pleasant weather and moderate winters – plus the people tend to be far more polite and generous.
Speaking of generosity, Red States statistically give more to charities than blue states do. Guess it’s all that love for one’s fellow man as cultivated by religious tenants that you seem to despise so much.
The red states are generally opposed to high taxation rates, and are inclined towards less government involvement in private lives and fortunes – so a red state government would by nature be one less involved in the personal lives and fortunes of red state citizens.
The Blue states get to keep the federal bureaucracy that is based so much in the northern blue states.
Oh, and you get to keep Cuomo. Sorry, but dem’s da breaks.
Wait – you considered that a positive???!!!???
Now THAT’S funny!
The blue states also get to keep Wall Street – I wonder how well it would do with the red states no longer taking part? Then again, I’m sure the banking institutions of Charlotte, NC, Atlanta, GA, and Dallas, TX could more than make up for the slack. You did realize that the largest bank in the US is based in Charlotte, right?
The blue states get the majority of miserable winters, high density population areas, unsustainable union based blue state economy complete with unpaid for pensions, decaying infrastructure, and mass transit systems that can’t survive without massive government aid every year….
Blue states get the old “Big Three” automakers – the Red States get to keep manufacturers like Mercedes Benz and Toyota.
Heck, Boeing might actually go ahead and move their aircraft manufacturing facilities here the way they wanted to before Obozo and his NLRB moved in and blackmailed them into staying in a blue state at the expense of a red state.
Anyway, as far as the Blue States seceding – to put it in the words of Br’er Rabbit, “but do please, Br’er Fox, don’t fling me in dat brier-patch,”.
Uncle Remus was good, Uncle Remus was wise…
Zipadeedoodah.
If a literal commerce clause was in play there could sure be some interesting changes made in America. Just imagine for example the forming of regional eonomic/financial alliances between the plains states and another such region by the South/Southeast states. A few years ago I bluprinted this concept into six such economic/financial regions. Talk about checks and balances, lol!
They also get to keep the AIDS population and it’s calamities as they welcome a “lifestyle”, illegal not that long ago for it’s perverted practices… to marry.
But, as enlightened elitists, pandering and submitting to the militant radicals…makes them “better” and maybe immune to the scourge they accept among them.
Lisa……..who will work? who will be in your military?
Also, I have a feeling the entrepeneurs wont be on your side of the border.
ROFLMAO
Wow..you’re one ignorant Kunt.
I’ll take it as long as you promise not to sneak in at some point You don’t get it. Things don’t make a quality of life. People do. I’ll take a wasteland as long as you leftie parasites and vampires are kept out. That would increase the quality of our lives exponentially. In short order your side would devolve into a facist terror state, people devouring and scrabbling for the last scrap of food. Your blithering idiocy is what has gone mainstream now. You forget those whom you disdain possess the mindset and ideas which created the “things” you now wish to claim for your side. Take them We’ll make more. And you will be like the Mexicans, fleeing the filth and stealing over to our side in the dark of night. But this time we’ll make sure you don’t make it. Take your meds now. And STFU.
Ahh, living the stagnant zero-sum game according to the rules of historical inevitability. How much of all of this do you ‘get’, Lisa?
you get obama and all the prime terrorist targets.
ill gladly take alabama.
Well, bye.
So typical of the delusional lefty dummycrats….taking credit for something they never created. This letter has been circulating the internet, yet most have denied ownership except for Lisa. Apparently she(?) has a need to ride on the coattails of others. Is anyone surprised?
Good riddance, you bastards.
Oh, please, please, PLEASE let your screed become reality. I’ll only live about a mile from your new blue nation, but I’ll be SO much better off in my red nation. Already the town (ALL the towns, actually) on this side of the river is about 3 or 4 times the size of the town on the blue side, with all the best businesses and most of the jobs. Entrepreneurship will EXPLODE here with lower tax rates while you build your Iron Curtain to keep your entrepreneurs from exiting en masse.
If we could do this peacefully, I would vote for it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, if/when any red states ever try to leave peacefully the blue states will attack and try to kill them. It’s the liberal, tolerant way.
I’ll take your deal Lisa – it sounds WONDERFUL. Seriously.
As to the list itself, there are only 2 points that I would take serious contention with:
Believing life is sacred MEANS having gun laws that allow people to protect themselves, to protect their own life. Criminals, you see, don’t obey restrictive guns laws. “I was going to murder you, which is illegal, but since guns are illegal, I guess I won’t.” Yeah.
According to lefty morality, we do – the majority of conservatives DON’T CARE about skin color, either way. The majority of lefties do. According to lefty morality, that makes you racists, which are the lowest of the low.
That’s by your OWN STANDARDS. Blatant hypocrisy doesn’t make for a compelling argument, no matter how much you want to believe it.
I notice you leave behind the lion’s share of black folks.
And how about you keep the debt of your public unions, private unions, Social Security and Medicare?
We’ll be down here with cheap nuclear power, voucher-based schools, car companies that don’t need regular infusions of public cash and cheap food. We’ll sell you the LNG you’ll need to survive once your “build windmills to stop the wind from moving across the face of the Earth” idea dies an eco-nightmarish death.
(Seriously, what kind of Eng.Lit moron thinks mass wind power is a brilliant idea? If windmills had been invented 100 years ago, not 2100, they’d be outlawed by now! Sheesh!)
Lisa, I’d gladly accept your offer to split the United States. I have zero doubt that my quality of life would be much better if I paid less tax for less government. Unzip the Red State “L” from rest of the US and let us put our government on a much shorter leash. Without the Blue States, the Red States could amend our constitution to permanently limit the size and scope of government. Without the Blue States we could do the serious budget cutting that needs to be done. Without the Blue States we could reduce the burden of regulation. I would prefer renewed respect for federalism within the United States, but if I can’t have that, a national divorce is better than being yoked to a progressive government death spiral.
I live in a very blue state but I don’t hold these illusions at all. You only believe this because you are left wing white trash and live in a pseudo-intellectual world which is far more pseudo than intellectual. The first thing that the blue states will inherit is famine. The next thing is race riot and the third thing is foreign dominance (leading to the levels of taxation you always espoused but for others.) The red states will get the levels of trust and morality that they consciously cultivate, productivity from individual businesses that they encourage and a balanced and strong currency that will go against your propaganda-based green-back, urban decay driven greenback. I will go and let you starve yourself out and I will return to the better stronger coastal state I deserve. Please drop dead in a warm, dry place. You will make for great kindling.
If what Lisa KKK (they were founded by the Democrats, honey pie) dreams up in her demented and sick mind comes true, I’m gonna have to move. I sure as sugar would not want to live in a world dreamt up by a mind as warped as hers.
It’s a good thing I’m still young and healthy enough to do that.
Wow! A virtual “Workers’ Paradise”—until the money runs out—and then the rest of us had better watch out!
Red states vs blue states? First, let me say how big of a success it was for Democrats to get the media to wage pyscological warfare by using red for Republicans.
But why focus on states? You want to hold conservative populations captive? How about you take the blue counties and we take the red counties. Let’s see how your cities survive without the producers.
Separated by counties, there would just be a few dependant coastal enclaves, a couple inland cities, and New Mexico for the blues.
And you are welcome to all those things you carefully outlined.
We will come from behind and show you the value of God, morals, understanding and charity. You go smoke your Mary Jane and have your abortions and we will stay sober and pray for your souls.
Hey Lisa, are you getting extra class credit for posting this?
Dear Lisa K.
In response to your offer, I also happily accept, and while much else about your troll has been commented upon here, I’m afraid passion has allowed many of us to be remiss in our manners, so I will but add:
Go with God.
(A pity that you would not say the same for us, even if you could,)
Just go by county, LisaK. Seceding will not be as easy as grabbing the Electoral College votes. Look at the election map and you may notice that even in Massachusetts the counties are red and the cities are blue. Good luck growing food for a million people in Boston’s Victory Gardens.
Lisa
How ’bout we split up by county?. Check out the fine film “Escape from New York ” to see your future then.
lisak, from one lib to another, you are quite an ugly person. Intolerant, hypocritical and snobbish
it is fake libs like you that are driving real libs away from the Dem party and claiming Independence
Oh, don’t forget the Asian population as well. We are now outnumbered 3 to 1 so keep on attacking the first minority president over frivolous matters. It will help to sink the Republican Party further. I know that most of you just can’t help it, that itch is always there, so keep doing what you are good at. I won’t stop you. The future political demographics might though.
Prof. Carol M. Swain said: White identity politics may well be the next logical stage for identity politics in America. As long as racial and ethnic minorities push separatist agendas, we can expect white Americans, especially as they decline as a percentage of the population, to begin to behave like self-interested minorities.
White nationalists push identity politics as a way for disorganized whites to fight public and private initiatives said to favor minorities at the expense of more deserving white Americans. I firmly believe we have carried identity politics too far in this country. We need to stress our shared American values and move away from the hyphenated identities that divide Americans, while providing a compelling justification for whites to move in the same direction.
White nationalists are encouraging white Americans to adopt the interest group politics of racial and ethnic minorities. In making their case to ordinary white Americans, the leaders of the new white nationalism have appropriated the language of the left. Multiculturalism argues that all groups ought to be able to organize to celebrate their unique heritage, contributions to the world and genetic makeup. White nationalists argue that if identity politics is good for minorities, then it must also be good for whites. Civil rights rhetoric tells us that discrimination on account of race; gender or national origin is unconstitutional.
White nationalist leaders point out that white Americans are discriminated against by governmental policies, and that this is unfair and un-American. Whites should, therefore, band together to protect themselves from insensitive and illegal governmental policies. The primary goal of the new white nationalism is the preservation of white European culture and values. White nationalism, therefore, is a separatist movement, non-violent on its face.
Racial diversity becomes a source of great conflict when governments and institutions adopt policies that favor some groups over others.
White identity politics may well be the next logical stage for identity politics in America. As long as racial and ethnic minorities push separatist agendas, we can expect white Americans, especially as they decline as a percentage of the population, to begin to behave like self-interested minorities.
White nationalists push identity politics as a way for disorganized whites to fight public and private initiatives said to favor minorities at the expense of more deserving white Americans.
White nationalism is the baby that multiculturalism birthed.
As long as racial and ethnic minorities push for identity politics, many whites will want to join.
End Quote
The question is, will White European Identity Political organizations be warmly embraced by the Diversity Multicultural Zetigeist or will they be ostracized and demonized…..thus putting the lie to Multiculturalism and Diversity.
Those who fret so noisily about “identity politics” now were applauding then when the black candidate preached “Revenge!”
Nor have the holier-than-thou fretters ever stood up to La Raza or the Black Panthers.
Hypocrites!
And they have the gall to call the ending of the racialist spoils system they created “white identity politics”.
More from Prof. Carol M. Swain…
We cannot sustain racial preferences in a society as diverse as we are becoming and not expect unrest and turmoil.
I believe that we are increasingly at risk of unprecedented levels of racial conflict and turmoil because of conditions coming together at this point in history. These conditions include the continuing influx into the country of non-white immigrants and the prospect that America in the not-too-distant future will cease to be a white majority nation. Many Americans are worried about liberal immigration policies, the decline in high paying, low-skill industrial jobs, and globalization.
Census Bureau data show that all Americans have experienced a loss in real wages and that non-Hispanic whites have had the sharpest increase in poverty. Also, certain social, political, and economic conditions can spur rises in hate crimes against disfavored groups. I see a devil’s brew for future racial and social unrest. White nationalists stand ready to exploit the frustrations of ordinary white Americans. Another powerful source of future conflict comes from the rising expectations and demands of racial minorities for a greater share of the nation’s wealth and political power.
I would like to summarize by saying that we should strive to promote an American national identity. Although we can never be totally color-blind as a society, we can adopt race neutral public policies. What we have in place today are a set of policies that pit different groups of Americans against each other. As a multiracial, multiethnic society, America has defied the odds for other countries because we are a nation where the majority of people profess to be God fearing individuals, who believe in a common creator, and a brotherhood of man. Racial preference programs are at odds with core Christian principles of universalism that stress the role of the autonomous individual, equal to every other human being in the eyes of God.
—
Sorry Ms. Swain, we cant even unite under Christianity, in the US.
You look at America and see blacks, whites, Asians, gays, straights, disabled, able-bodied, young, old and so on, all opportunities to pit people against each other. We look at America and see a bunch of people. MLK (a Republican) said we should judge people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. Presumably he thought character should overrule age, wellness status, etc. as well. Today his remembrance is used by the party that fought for slavery and against civil rights for blacks as an opportunity to bash the party that freed the slaves and pushed civil rights through. To aid in this, they have installed a figurehead black man with no visible economic or constitutional knowledge to run the country by buying votes with lots of handouts, paid for by us. No…paid for by our children and grandchildren so that they can spread “tolerance” and “diversity”.
I don’t belong to a party because I don’t believe in them. They’re just one more way to separate people into groups to play them off of each other. But if you force me to choose today, I’m with the Republicans and especially the conservative Republicans. They seem to be the only ones that are remotely sane at this moment in time. I sincerely hope that changes at some point. Soon. But I’m stockpiling food, water and ammo rather than counting on THAT.
Conservatives seriously got to get their act together and make sure Rob don’t get to Rob anyone of anymore than he already has. Oh, and take back what he has Robbed down to his skivvies.
Naked came he into the world, and naked shall he leave it. As ugly as I am certain he is naked, his ideas are even uglier, even clothed in finer rhetoric than he can ever imagine conjuring up.
Yes, racial divides, and many more tricks, gave the Racialist-in-Chief his win – http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/07/30/the-racialist-potus-seeks-transformation-via-raced-based-classroom-edicts-say-it-aint-so-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/
The Radical-in-Chief’s follow through, and that of his surrogates, was second to none. And if not for their helpmates, over many decades, and their whore-like media counterparts, The One would not have one!
The only real thing that this election and the previous election proves is the power of the media to win elections. The left’s candidate is by far the worst president in history with a pathetic record of non-accomplishments while at the same time degrading our proud history, our founders, our values, our economy and free enterprise system and ultimately our standard of living. Yes he did all this not on his own of course but by his handlers, supporters, unions, and other libtards. Finally this is the most dishonest corrupt administration in history. Obama is a pathaological liar. The fact that he can stand up there every day and lie and never get called out for it is once again a testement to the mendacity of the media itself who also lie and spin every day. So what you might say. Who cares? They won! Now the GOP is waiting to learn from this election. Most of what I hear is that we need to be more like the liberal left to win. If that is faustian promise than I reject it. Sooner or later the truth will prevail. It could take some time. In the meantime there are over $50 million Americans who made the right choice for a decent honorable and generous man–Mitt Romney. The road to our salvation as a party does not need to denigrate him, his family, or his contributions over the years. Yes we need many things right now but to become more like liberals is not one of them.
I agree with you about the media. They control the agenda now. I don’t believe conservatives will ever win an election again unless the media can be held accountable at some point. Where are all the honest journalists? How did the media become so corrupt and one sided? Are there any reporters out there with integrity anymore? Where are you?????? I think I am at the point now where I see no bright future for America anymore. The best thing we can do is become self sufficient, get out of debt, pay our mortgage at lightening speed, learn the use of herbs in medicine and focus on our families. The only place we can really make a difference any more is in our homes. I hate to say hope did die for me on election night. If people cannot truly see the dire situation Obama has put us in then what can one say? The people have chosen very unwisely and they will realize it when it affects them directly. Four more years of such a corrupt, unfriendly administration toward America will truly change the landscape forever, not just of the U.S. but worldwide. May God be with us all.
Youve got the wrong of it. Dont pay down debt. Currency is being debased, so best to pay it back with diminished dollars. Buy Brass and Lead. And form organizations and bonds with White Europeans, for the coming race war.
Obamacare is the unremovable poison pill. Fiscal collapse will come. Be ready to protect your White European Christian tribe and then we can rebuild from the ashes, but we will need White European racial solidarity and pre-formed organization to step into the vacuum and provide order.
Re your:
“but we will need White European racial solidarity and pre-formed organization to step into the vacuum and provide order.”
It’s not wise to expect much of any “solidarity” from our European cousins during or after any coming conflicts. They’ve very limited and stretched resources. Socialism is top heavy, by definition needing other’s cash….remember the wise Lady Thatcher’s phrase.
How often have we seen “solidarity” from any country (besides the ANZAC’s of WW1 era, and the Aussies and Canadians since then) in earnest since 1917? Remember the two World Wars, Lend Lease, the Marshall Plan, the American Cold War Umbrella (East/West), that original idealism behind the U.N. and N.A.T.O.?
You’re welcome, World.
Agreed, there is poignant poetry in our vast U.S.Dollar debt owed to the Chinese being repaid in ever diminishing valued Notes; but best not to count on support from a Socialistic Europe with their own looming “funding” issues….watch Spain and Greece…they’re in dire need of “others” money”, i.e. Germany’s.
U.K. is becoming all-Muzzied up. On and on….
Nobody immigrant bashed. There was a lot of virulent and extremist white bashing going on.
Opposing illegal immigration is not bashing.
You should take some time to read the publications of La Raza, the largest Hispanic organization at this point. They’re hateful. You think you’re going to rationally appeal to anyone involved in such an organization? Save your breath and open your eyes.
Al Sharpton won the election. That’s the reality on the ground.
I hope there is a special place in hell for Axelrod and his ilk.
What the article did not say, was that by 2016, the share of the white vote will be down another 2% to 70%, and blacks and Hispanics will have increased their share by another 2%.
That means that if the 2012 election were rerun in 2016, the Dem will win by 6 percentage points–a true landslide.
With each new Presidential election, the clout of white voters continues to decline further. And of those white voters, one-fifth of them self-identify as liberal, so the GOP candidate can only try to win the other four-fifths.
Four-fifths of 70% is 56%. So the GOP candidate would practically have to run the table with all of them. That’s a herculean task, something that no previous GOP candidate including Eisenhower and Reagan has ever done.
American politics is starting to look like the multiethnic politics in New York City: Half of the electorate is minorities, gays are wealthy and politically powerful, etc. It’s still possible for a Republican to win–Giuliani did–but only with a socially liberal and multiethnic platform.
There is no legitimate reason for the people in the “red” states to accept a situation where the moral and ethical tone for their suburban and rural communities must be set by the “blue” state urban bastions of perversity and criminality, such as San Francisco and New York. The wave of the future for a free people is to begin the process of nullification and secession to extricate ourselves from the failed “blue” states and rebuild the Constitutional Republic of old that was lost to us last November 6th. As time passes and the folly of the re-election of the assclown Hussein becomes a frightening,in-your-face daily reality, the nullification and secession movement will surely gather momentum.
Sinz is absolutely correct.
The GOP should ditch Conservatism and morality, embrace the welfare state and identity politics, to adjust to the new reality and win elections.
American Conservatives can go on in their losing battle, with David Frum at the helm, rearranging the deck chairs on the USS Titanic.
And White Europeans should organize, to collectively protect their rights, celebrate and promote their culture and heritage, and lobby for their interests and well being.
That is David Frum and David Brooks, small ball conservatism. Happy to lose the big ideas as long as they can have some say in the new welfare state structures.
I didn’t say that.
I simply said that once the non-liberal white electorate is below 60% of the total electorate, the GOP won’t win national elections anymore with the platform it currently has.
How we deal with that is worth a discussion. Any ideas?
I say that they stick to Conservative principles.
But what White European Americans need to do outside of the GOP and American Conservatism is organize in the Identity Politics manner so as to protect themselves and promote their culture and well being.
1. The GOP has lost an entire generation of likely voters. I don’t think I can overstate the magnitude of this shift. Just as the Reagan Revolution created a generation oflikely lifelong GOP voters, a whole generation of young people who re-elected Obama are now lifelong Democrat voters, and simply adding another Hispanic to the GOP rollcall is not going to change that.
2. Stop perpetuating this propaganda that Romney was “this close” from winning. He wasn’t. The debates changed nothing. Sandy changed nothing. Obama’s victory was based on a well-oiled, highly disciplined, relentless get out the vote effort that capitalized on his expansive base of grassroots support. That’s how Nate Silver and other number crunchers were able to predict Obama’s win months ago: they recognized that Dem voters are the new majority, and saw how outmatched Romney was in terms of likely voters. Neither the debates nor Sandy had any measurable impact.
If what you say is true, then the country is lost to us already and there is a 100% chance of a hot civil war within 10 years.
Unfortunately, the racial-ethnic spoils system has become a fact of life in 21st century America. Multiculturalism dictates that the most barbaric practices of one culture, as long as that culture is non-white, or if white, then non-Judeochristian and non-heterosexual, are as worthy of tolerance, if not respect, than the most refined aspect of another culture, particularly if that culture is white! Then political correctness dictates that any criticism of a non-white culture (if white, then non-Judeochristian and non-heterosexual) is a hate crime! I hope that the so called progressive liberal whites realize that despite their vote for Obama or their beneficence to “people of color”, when the financial collapse occurs, they will be targeted as rich, greedy, racist oppressors and seen as one and the same with their “cracker counterparts” in the red states! It will be like that rich white college kid who went to South Africa to help oppressed blacks, and was murdered by the oppressed blacks because they just saw her as a white girl, and therefore, a “racist oppressor”.
Whites should form their own group for the racial spoils system; unfortunately, many but not all of these white identity movements tend to demonize Jews.
Obama won the same way he always wins: by destroying his opposition while casting himself as The Nice Guy. Romney himself said Obama is nice,,,while Obama’s people at Obama’s direction were sowing fear and hatred against him at every turn. Univision ran continuous hate ads against Romney to scare the Latinos for months. Romney never saw it coming. After all, “Obama is a nice guy.”
Look: Obama is vicious. Unless you convince people of that, you lose.
Republicans have to turn the electorate against the democrats as effectively as Democrats have demonized Republicans.
Democrats never run on their record: they run on opposition research. Look what they did to Sarah Palin. She went from popular successful governor to village idiot bases on oppo research, public mockery and outright lies. The right won’t even tell an Obama joke.
The irony is that Romney did it to fellow republicans in the primary but would not do it to Obama. We kept hearing how “likable” Obama is and not to run against that.
Republicans have to step up and convince the electorate that democrats are crooked thugs. That’s what the Left does to the Right when it is so true of themselves. Projection, anyone?
Our national debt is over $16 trillion and rising a trillion dollars every 9 months. The clueless electorate has just re-elected the biggest spending President in our history. Our federal budget has doubled in the last 11 years, and we are spending over a trillion bucks a year on welfare of various sorts. We are spending 40% more per year than we take in in taxes. Can any rational person think this trend can go on for even a generation? As the federal government’s borrowing costs inevitably go up (think Southern Europe only the numbers are way bigger), our budgets will increasingly be eaten up by interest payment. How then are the Democrats going to keep all their client groups happy when they can no longer raid the treasury on their behalf? I am betting that our politics will change a lot when the money starts running low.
“But this problem can quickly be solved by supporting a compromise immigration bill…” Right! Just register 12 million more Democrats! Problem solved!
Where do we get such idiots?
President Obama defeated Governor Romney because he is better at communicating with the uneducated than Mitt Romney.
… unless Michelle Obama goes on the ticket in 2016 …
God help us. That would mean sixteen years of the Valerie Jarrett shadow presidency, and the true end of the nation.
The Republicans lost because of their own version of identity politics. Vanilla is also a flavor. The Democrats always get the lion share of the black vote, but part of the reason they also got a huge turnout this time, even over and beyond the race of the candidate, is that the black’s accurately perceived the other side as running white. The Republican voter suppression efforts may have also had the ironic effect of mobilizing them since nobody likes to be abused and they all remember Jim Crow. You guys would do better with blacks and Hispanics if you yourselves ran as Americans rather than as “real Americans,” aka male white guys and their adoring spouses.
One amusing thing about this article: crediting Gallup’s poll numbers. As even Gallup has acknowledged, Gallup’s bad record in this campaign derived from the assumption it made about voter turnout. Romney never had a six point lead, Gallup was simply made a systematic mistake in its methodology.
Someone just dropped his pants and filled the room with projectile diarrhea.
Damn, people, you cannot let him come into the room.
Let me rephrase my points in a form that you might be better able to understand:
You lost the election because you were selling shit, and there just weren’t enough dung beetles this time.
More projectile diarrhea from the man who loves the taste of his own shit.
Before the election, I was willing to be gentle with the likes of this nonperson who I do not regard as a human being worthy of even enough respect to acknowledge as having a name.
I wanted to think that hatred was too extreme an emotion to feel for anyone.
But not for this nonperson, not any more.
The misery they have let loose on us all will bite them on the ass too, and when it bites anyone on the ass, I will first ask: “Did you vote for Obama?”
And if they answer “Yes.” I will laugh in their face.
I, too, have a personal litmus test before I discuss politics with anyone anymore. I ask them, “Did you vote for Hussein?” And I say it just like that, “Hussein”. If they say “Yes”, then I don’t even bother to get into a discussion with the assclown. But now, if I hear anyone bitching about their plight in the future I’ll ask the question, but with a new rejoinder. If they say “Yes”, then I’ll just laugh out loud.
Hm. That’s one point of view. Just bear in mind…Obama, in spite of a (very) few years in public office, thanks to his “present” votes on the majority of meaningful issues, had no record to run on. He didn’t accomplish anything in his first term. Well, okay, he got his pet health care project passed…though I’ve heard Obama’s 1 percent vistory described by Dems as a “landslide” and the American people, last I checked, are still against Obamacare by about 20 points.
My point being that Obama still had no record of accomplishments after 4 years. He had a record of failure, but he was able to tapdance around them and bus enough mentally challenged people to the polls to overcome that. 4 more years and it will be that much more difficult to keep blaming stuff on Bush. The Dem who runs in 2016 (assuming Obama allows elections and assuming there’s indeed still a USA as such) will have no reasonable boogeyman except for Obama himself.
THAT ought to be fun. Go long on popcorn now, cuz it’ll go through the roof.
I had a conversation with brain dead left wing moonbat American, just like you Jim, here in Bali not long after the USURPER was first immaculated back in 2009. Conversation turned to the USURPER’s Islamic faith and upbringing, the moonbat sensed he had a real ‘gotcha’ when he said to me ‘so what have you got against Muslims’. To which I replied ‘Well apart from the fact that they want to rule the world and convert or make everyone Dhimmies nothing much, but what I do have against the USURPER is that he is a proven bare faced LIAR on far too many counts to enumerate’. At which point the moonbat shut up.
I’m an old man so I’ve seen this happen before. When goofy right wing movements flop electorally, as it did after McCarthy and after Goldwater, for example, its promoters switch into survival mode and what was politics becomes mail fraud or its Internet equivalent, the on-going financial exploitation of vulnerable people. The Republicans will stop hanging on Limbaugh’s every word because they want to win national elections, but Rush will still continue to collect his millions from the true believers. Same thing happened to Father Conklin back in the 30s after most people at large recognized he was selling them home-grown fascism. So the newsletters and the crank sites like this one will persevere and find ways to extract cash from the paranoid and the simple minded until they can find some way to return to a larger stage.
The Republicans’ mantra from now on should be the simple truth: Democrats hate white people. Any white person who votes Democrat votes against his/her own interest in favor of even greater governmental preferences for non-whites.
As for this election, I’ve never seen such a white-hot anger at the results. Obama truly has a tiger by the tail. His second term is going to be worse than G.W. Bush’s second term. If you doubt that, ask yourself how many previous elections in this century have inspired serious calls for secession? Obama’s supporters may love him but his opponents truly loathe him and they’ll do whatever they can to stop his agenda and bring him down.
Let’s wait and see what happens with affirmative action and the Voting Rights Act. The NYT had an article today about a decision by judges in Michigan to overturn their referendum on affirmative action. One of the quotes was from a law professor, who thought that the SCOTUS may very well outlaw the whole shebang. Interestingly, the Times also had a story last week about the Voting Rights Act and the SCOTUS. Do they know something?
If the SCOTUS does really attack the racial, ethnic, gender log-rolling coalition, which is the Democratic Party (as made clear by the election) then you will start to see some significant realignment. The Democrats will stick with their redistribution economics, but it won’t have the same impact.
The big Kahuna would be if the SCOTUS went after the Voting Rights Act. Republicans would lose seats, but by forcing blacks and Hispanics to compete for white votes, it would drive the Democratic Party as a whole to the center. Main issues, where I think you would see a change, would be on taxes and the military. Social issues probably not, where it might have no effect. In which case, you might see the battlelines actually sharpen.
In sum, let’s watch the SCOTUS this term. Really, they could be the main branch of government that determines the direction of politics in the years to come.
Yes, let’s watch indeed while Obozo likely appoints two more Supreme Court justices during this term, probably beginning with the Hildabeast when she resigns early next year and RBG decides to hang it up. They too, will become a “living document” rubber stamp for the Democrats. There is no chance in hell that the SCOTUS goes any direction other than hard left during the next four years.
Obama isnt going to appoint a 70 year old to the court. Probably a couple of 40ish somethings.
Probably Laurence Tribe or Elizabeth Warren.
John Roberts already determined the direction this country is going by declaring Obamacare constitutional, because he didnt want to be “divisive,” by kow towing to the Left.
Once Universal Health Care digs its claws in, the government will control the population.
Affirmative Action has already done it’s work of promoting Identity Politics Leftwingers in positions of power within all institutions.
The damage is done.
If what you say is true, and it probably is, then what the hell are we waiting for? Lets begin the process of nullification and secession right now!
At this point, it’s mainly the hard-right types–the ones who flew the Gadsden flag before the TEA party made it “cool”–that are talking secession. The interesting thing is, they feel free to do so, and rather than reacting with outrage or even real derision, the “herd” seems to be restless and nervous and skittish. Almost like the cattle who hate them for saying it are afraid to openly mock them, and the rest of the cattle are wondering if they may be on to something.
I’m kind of in the latter group. I’m not a starry-eyed revolutionary…after fully understanding the horrors of communist and socialist “revolutions”, I’ve become something of a counter-revolutionary in most cases. But Obama being reelected, and the circumstances under which he was elected and then reelected are really strange.
In my youth, I was elected as patrol leader and later senior patrol leader in my boy scout troop. I was vetted more thoroughly than Obama ever was, and everybody voting had already known me for years. Nobody in the press is asking *any* uncomfortable questions of *any* Dem. It’s really spooky…it’s not like there aren’t a wealth of things that seem wrong in our public life lately that maybe some of our leaders should answer for.
Answer me this: who can name a single government official on the national level that has been fired except under conditions that suggest it was for political reasons? Petreus? Hopefully we’ll find out some things about Benghazi that I’ve been wondering about, unless the blackmail birdie has already gotten to him. Sandy hit 2 or 3 weeks ago on NEW FREAKING YORK CITY, and the power is still out in large areas. FEMA is nowhere to be found. Obama did a single flyover before jetting off to Vegas or the Hamptons or the golf course or wherever he’s off to now. This is the heart of Democrat country more than any other place in the US except perhaps San Francisco or downtown Chicago. Nobody is even attempting to ask what’s being done, as far as I can tell. By this time in Katrina, Bush had already been burned in effigy in the press and in the leftist giant-puppet parades.
So weird things are afoot, and I’m not going to be firing on Fort Sumpter personally, but I’m watching and waiting on events. Preparing. For what, I’m not really sure, but at a minimum there are going to be bank holidays, skyrocketing gas and food prices (much worse than we’ve already seen) and people won’t be able to hire things done for much longer so I’m brushing up on old carpentry and other skills. Keeping the guns oiled and exercised. And generally just trying to make sense of what’s happening. Because it doesn’t add up. Not at ALL.
But I’ll say one thing. The general US electorate is much, MUCH more stupid than I ever gave them credit for. I always thought that in the final analysis, we were much smarter than to fall for something like Obama TWICE. I can see the first one, when everybody wanted to prove they weren’t racist and all that. I get it. But 6 trillion dollars and no results of any kind, and everybody seems to think it would be a good idea to play that record again.
Just writing this gave me the heebie jeebies. I’m gonna go for a run and then maybe watch Red Dawn. Never thought of that movie as a potential how-to video until just recently.
Over the last twenty years both sides have embraced, even encouraged, the hatred and dehumanization of their ideological opponents. This trend has become more virulent and divisive with each passing day and with each passing year. The potential consequences of such hatred and dehumanization of our fellow human beings, and our fellow citizens, are dire, yet no one on on either side seems to be willing or able to reverse this trend. Both sides are guilty, yet neither claims responsibility. Neither side is willing to be held accountable, nor to hold themselves accountable.
This will only end in tragedy. …and everyone will be responsible for the outcome. Everyone will pay the price.
It is NOT a matter of racial divide! Its a matter of ideological divide! For 50 years the progressive who joined the democrat party have with babystep after babystep taken over the democrat party. They have done it almost exclusively with a domestic social issues platform. At the same time, the GOP was busy advocating the consolidation and centralization of the nations economies, expanding to a global market concept and of course honed in on foreign relations and nation building.
Today, it matters not if your democrat or republican just try taking away what the progressive have given you, your communities and your states through the big government machines over the past 50 years. In the end it reduces down to the old hypocrisy thing of take from my neighbor his government handouts but by all means don’t take mine.
So, as its stands right now, the GOP anti-government rhetoric is loud by some but it doesn’t resonate very well across the majority of the nations most densely populated areas. These manufactured cancers are home to the consolidated and centralized economies, huge labor forces and high poverty — represented by powerful and corrupted progressive special interest lobby entities. Agriculture, energy and the military defense machines dominates the larger national land mass which is so much less populated and represented but get nonetheless, huge government handouts.
Bottomline. The nation is, by all newer definitions of socialism, a democratic socialist republic. So who is going to give up first, their own slice(s) of nearly 2,000 government handouts?
Folks, I have a minor correction to make: this article was written the day after the election when the returns were still coming in. Due to Obama gains in the late (West Coast) returns, his margin is now between 2 and 3 points. So, it would have taken a two-point swing to give Romney a national vote victory.
But the point remains that this was a very close election whose outcome could easily be reversed next time. Thanks everyone for your patience.
Conservatives need a dose of Identification Politics.
We need to Identify who we are, what we are about, and, as Alfonzo Rachel put it, REPRESENT!
Never mind what they do to hurt us. Its what we don’t do to fight back that brings us down.
I’d start by not engaging in dialogue with people so poisoned with Bad Ideas and so filled with Hatred of Good Ideas that they would have us waste our time trying to persuade them. Don’t engage them.
But do go into their territory and REPRESENT yourself.
In any housing project or ghetto there are a few people who recognize that their neighbors are on a downward spiral and are looking for an upward spiral. Show them that we offer the upward spiral.
Just make certain to work the base.
Base + Small Percentage of Votes They Assume Are Theirs + Some Percentage of the Honestly Undecided = Victory.
Be True to Ourselves & Bold!
The GOP had a chance to do that, with men like Jack Kemp. It had a chance to actually appeal to minorities.
But other men like Karl Rove decided that the way to get Bush (for example) into office, was to cobble together a (narrow) Electoral College majority consisting of the Red States plus Ohio. And the GOP would count on the evangelicals to deliver Ohio.
So the GOP continued to win elections by ever more intense efforts to turn out its base on Election Day, rather than by actively attracting new voters. (Asians tend to be hard-working with strong family values, but the GOP figured that who needs them when we’ve got evangelicals?)
That strategy is now obsolete and needs to be replaced.
Uh, don’t forget about the one racial group that splits it vote. Our turnout was depressed and 41% of us went with Obama.
Beg your pardon if someone has already mentioned that, but Obama got 4 out of every 10 votes by whites; I think that’s more significant than the help O got from the minority voters.
Why is no one in the media, and I am talkng about the NEW MEDIA, willing to question the integrity of the election result?
Do we know with absolute certainty that wholesale tampering with electronic voting is, even theorethically, impossible?
If that is not the case, when we look at facts that don’t correspond with the end results,why are we unwilling to raise the question of organized, wholesale tampering?
Just one case in point: Romney got 3 million fewer conservaties to vote for him than McCain did in 08. “the GOTV failed” “Romney is Mormon” etc. etc. are all possible.
And they are being talked about to no end. What about that other possibility? Why won’tanyone mention it?
The stakes are to high….if this travesty occurrec, it will be the end of the Republic.
What the minorities don’t realize is that the world has a memory, even if it is silent. I suspect that at some point the rest of the country will say: “Well, you got a problem call Obama my phone stays in my pocket.”
If the rest of the country decides these groups are placing unjust burdens on others by their free choice how much help or regard or anything will they get from the rest of us?
Life is tit-for-tat except for the chapel-rat, and other merchants of self-pity.
Good point. Let them run the economy, tax everyone and increase debt to the sky. Then when the scatological brown matter hit the ventilator the “blue” city populations will have to migrate closer to the food sources.
When one of the aforementioned voters shows up at your door asking for bread you can send them to that nice house in Pennsylvania Ave. for some organic grown snack.
The country will not reverse its coarse leftward until things change dramatically. We on the right might win elections but it matters little in the long wrong as long as the left controls the popular culture, the media and education. I am sorry to say that I can offer no solution to change this.
Think about it. The Won winning this election may be the best thing that ever happened to true Conservatism. Let them deliver like Lenin and Stalin did. The difference with Russia is that the US is actually inhabited by people that get really nasty when they realize they’ve been duped or gratuitously attacked.
I don’t care what happens to the RINO GOP but I am almost certain that this DP victory will be the end of them. Like in the old days of Wimar the US has chosen Gleichschaltung, governing even against it own Constitution. They also evolved towards Socialism (of the Nazi kind) and even managed to have a moment of glory. But the truth found them cowering in a bunker after having destroyed their country and cause the deaths of millions.
What makes them believe that this will end in a different manner?
They were found cowering in a bunker after a war that claimed 40-50 million lives. Will it come to this again? And what about the commies? After their “union” dissolved (after many years) how many of those countries became pro-freedom and how many became a thugocracy where mobsters rule? Socialism / communism is a dangerous game and the best way to win is not to play. Sadly this is no longer an option for us.
Consider what the result would have been if Darrell Issa’s Oversight Committee would have subpoenaed Obama’s original birth certificate in January 2011 and found that Obama was the son of Stanley Armour Dunham and an obliging native Hawai’ian wahine – both of them U.S. citizens and neither of them Negro.
Not only would this have pulverized his voter base; officials would have felt free to pursue the matter without being regarded as anti-Negro. Further investigation would have disclosed that Obama had relinquished American citizenship for Indonesian, and lost constitutional eligibility as a result.
Moreover, a thorough inquiry would have shown that Obama was a Comintern mole for all of his adult life to date.
And of course, the massive voter fraud, disregard for the rule of law and refusal to check for i.d. didn’t hurt either!
I don’t think it is about free stuff or amnesty. Republicans will no longer win elections as long as we allow ourselves to be portrayed as the party of white men. This was a revenge vote by minorities against whatever represents the white establishment, and its going to get worse in the future. As uncomfortable as it is to say, the “lets give whitey what he’s got coming” attitude is going to get worse and worse. Please don’t presume to accuse me of racism – I would vote for Allen West or Mia Love or Ken Blackwell or even Michael Steele in a heartbeat because I don’t see skin color, I see ideas that are pro-freedom. The real racists are the ones who will vote based on skin color, those who overlook a record of incompetence, failure and corruption because that candidate is a minority. Those who voted for Coleman Young, Kwame Kilpatrick, Obama, Clyburn, Menendez – they see the skin color, not the policies. We’re good and screwed folks.
Knock on wood using that JFK quote. We definitely don’t need Biden in the Oval Office. I oppose Obama’s policies vehemently, but I hope that God and the Secret Services will keep him alive, so just like Jimmy Carter, he can be a reminder of the failed policies of the left.
/ Right on, Patrick. You might like to react to this. Found it on the web. /
THE REAL CREATORS OF THE SUBURBS
( I experienced all this while trapped in a large American city.)
The suburbs are booming, but not fast enough. Yessir, you ghetto folks
in inner cities have started a good thing, but there are still lots of acres
outside the cities without any houses on them. So you’ve gotta move into
“untouched” city blocks and do the following:
Throw trash everywhere. You’ll insure that your friends who pick up trash
and distribute free rat poison packets will keep their jobs. And folks can
predict the weather by the direction the trash is blowing!
Walk down the street. Better yet, rhythm down it. And when I say street
I don’t mean sidewalk. Save sidewalks for your friends on cycles. Besides,
it’s hard to fit many cursing, screaming, drinking, pot-smoking kids on a
sidewalk, and it’s also hard to spot keys and other things left in cars when
you’re walking on a sidewalk!
When walking down a street, turn your head when you hear a car coming
and stare at the driver. For all you know, it might be one of your enemies
out to get you. On the other hand, it might be only your neighbor and all
that hateful staring might make him want to move out.
Be sure to beget lots of unloved, unsupervised, unwashed two-legged
“Obama welfare meal tickets” – either through wedlock or (preferably) out of
wedlock. And let them often ring doorbells, begging for money.
Turn quiet streets into noisy jungles. Have a blast – a
long blast with your car horn under your neighbor’s window at
3:00 a.m. Let folks know who the real honkies are! Blow your horn when (1)
you see the police coming (2) you want to buy some dope (3) you want to sell
some dope (4) for any other reason. Play your stereo so loudly that folks can’t
hear sirens going to the latest holdup or arson. Be noisy, man, noisy!
Be cruel to animals, especially “man’s best friend.” Tie your dog on a
short chain under a blazing sun with no water or food or love or license or
dog shots. Make him as mean as you are. Better yet, let your dog run loose.
Neighbors love to find freshly killed cats (after hearing their screams) and
other goodies on their lawns. Pit one dog against another in bloody “canine
cockfights” while friends lounge on car hoods and cheer and make bets! And
what madness is it where folks move out and abandon pets in the house,
leaving them nothing to eat but their own droppings? This happens often in the
ghetto, and almost no one will help the animals.
Keep a good supply of Saturday Night Specials – also Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday Night Specials. Your criminal
presence will improve your neighbor’s light bill; when he isn’t watching you
at night (with his lights off), he will be able to read books at night by
the light of the police helicopter searchlights!
Here’s more insanity: Uncle Sam spends millions of our tax money to
move you into our neighborhoods where we lose much when we sell our homes.
So you have your nerve when you glare and swear at us when we don’t move
out quickly; but you’re the reason we can’t find good buyers! I really wonder
what you and Uncle Sam will do when lots of folks move to the wilderness and
live off the land and consequently don’t have to pay taxes to support such
sickness!
Finally, spread the rumor that all of your troubles are associated with
skin, even though you and I know that your problem isn’t skin. It’s sin!!!
What makes a ghetto? It’s not the paint on a house (or lack of it) but all
of you two-legged pains in the neck!
