Introduction to stereotypes: a flyer
Feb 22nd, 2012 by Unamused
I made you a little flyer. The topic is stereotypes, especially as they pertain to crime. It seemed appropriate, in light of our recent appearance in the Seattle Stranger (and the shenanigans that inevitably ensued).
The flyer is available as a PDF file here, as a PNG file below (click for the full-size image), and as plain old text below that.
Introduction to Stereotypes
Everyone knows that men are more dangerous than women. They’re right, according to every National Crime Victimization Survey, ever.
The fact that some women are dangerous, and most men are not, does not change this statistical truth, also known as a stereotype. If you refuse to acknowledge it and act accordingly, you put yourself at risk.
Everyone knows that teenagers are more dangerous than toddlers. Or the elderly. They’re right, according to — seriously? You need a source? Fine: the NCVS again.
The fact that some old ladies are killers & arsonists, and most teens are all right, does not change this statistical truth, also known as a stereotype. If you pretend it isn’t true — not that anyone does — you put yourself at risk.
Everyone knows that blacks & Hispanics are more dangerous than whites & Asians. And they’re right about that too, according to the exact same NCVS data.
Every single year. It’s not even close. The crime rate gaps are staggering. And no, they don’t go away when you control for poverty and other non-racial factors.
For example, blacks are at least 13 times as likely as whites to be muggers,
8 times as likely to be murderers, 5 times as likely to be rapists, etc. [source].
The fact that some Swedes & Koreans are dangerous, and many Haitians are not, does not change this statistical truth, also known as a (terrible, awful, nasty, “racist”) stereotype.
If you ignore racial differences in violent crime rates, you put yourself at risk. And when it comes to buying a home or choosing a school for your kids, your put your family at risk. So please ask yourself which you would prefer: someone, somewhere, thinking you’re a “racist” (whatever that means), or you or someone you love getting assaulted, robbed, raped or murdered.
Thank you for reading. Best wishes from unamusementpark.com.
Awesome! Well done! I’m sure City Arts and The Stranger readers will enjoy the update, now that Dave Segal has fired up all the Seattle Rangers with hope and encouragement for leafleting.
Some minor changes I am considering though, are making the words “men” and “women” bold, to emphasize the comparison for lazy readers who just skim read. And maybe the last paragraph sounds a bit to unrealistically dramatic to most people, so I’m considering something like “Ignoring race differences in violent crime rates is suicidally stupid when in a ‘bad’ area” or “Ignoring race differences in violent crime rates is suicidally stupid when choosing a neighbourhood”. But I don’t know. It probably depends which area is leafleted and how careful people there normally have to be.
I’d help distribute the leaflet around Seattle, but I live more than 8,000 miles away.
Yeah I’d amend the last line.
Be racist or live in a predominantly wealthy liberal neighborhood and pretend you are not racist.
Webster Groves in St Louis for example. Leafy white liberal suburb.fighting like a demon to keep out blacks from St Louis proper who are running to a school
district with good scores and acreditation.
Another option
be racist live in a secure condo, be racist and live in a gated community
or pretend you are not racist and live in quaint leafy liberal suburb next to college professors.
I like Unamused’s version better.
I assume the target is Wavering leftie types who are sick of keeping up the “righton!” hipster facade?
The last line is a little too crude and slightly dark. The rest is funny as hell. Ending on humor or a humorous note would improve receptivity.
I think the last sentence is slightly problematic on the flyer. That’s all. The rest of it makes sense. Mention living among them somehow. A lot of people avoid the groid already. So they have lived according to the realist view already. In a sense the unfair campaign points out that mostwhites are justifably fearful of blacks living nearby. It’s just a matter of shoving that perception into the open. Even if I’m around blacks That I am suspicious about I do not expect a robbery, rape etc etc to happen. All you are trying to do with the flyer is to wake people up to their own real feelings.
You can either be racist or you can RISK being beaten, robbed and raped. Your Choice.
Either you can be “racist” Or you can RISK beatings, bullying,robbery and rape. YOUR CHOICE.
Either you can be “Racist” or ACCEPT the increasing RISK of beatings, bullying, robbery and rape. YOUR CHOICE.
Bullying because, you send a kid to a private school to avoid thug bullies. That tugs on the altruism factor and it’s also a subtle hint that if youare a Multiculter you are a wimp.
i think it’s perfect b/c there’s nothing to argue with, so DWL’s must either ignore it, or concoct a spurious argument, or just swallow deeply, glance around furtively, & go about their business trying not to think about it…
You need better fonts and layout. That heavy, bold sans-serif isn’t attractive and is hard to read.
I think an elegant serif font would be better for the headings. A good italic for the “everyone knows” repeated lines would add an element of rhythm to the design. You want the result to be attractive to the reader’s eye and draw it through the text (even if the brain resists!).
DWL like an argument going on their head though. Holding two contradictory thoughts on one subject is something many of them love. They are addicted to the dissonance. I am working on one right now. He can feel the dissonance he just has not admitted it to himself yet. He’s a theology professor. Ending with a question For them to answer will lead them here like Hansel and Gretel as sure as candy strewn on forest path.
A DWL can dismiss the last line by simply saying, ‘contact with blacks is just a controllable “risk factor”. I’m smart enough to sense danger, I can handle it.’
An appeal ought to be made to altruistic ideas in that last sentence somehow. Be racist or ACCEPT increasing RISK of beatings, robbery and rape. YOUR CHOICE.
Actually I think toddlers are the most violent demographic (Steven Pinker writes about it in his recent book), but they’re just too weak, small and uncoordinated to cause the damage they intend to. Of course “most violent” is not the same as “most dangerous,” but just pointing that out.
“Steven Pinker writes about it in his recent book”
Well it must be wrong, then.
I got a good upbraiding from the peeps at YouTube yesterday.
When I went to log on to watch the wonderful TNB posted at World Star Hip Hop, my youtube page had a giant red warning message:
*Warning! You’ve been flagged for posting hate speech!*
Turns out I’d been flagged for saying that n*ggers are not human, and that n*ggers are the cockroaches of humanity.
Harsh words I know, but sadly true.
I strongly believe in being cognizant of the group/individual dynamic when it comes to being deliciously racialistic towards blacks: I do not hate them as individuals – in fact I’m staying with a half-black right now, I consider him a friend – but as a group, their behaviour must be décortiqué (dissected, analyzed in minute detail).
Given the PC mafia black-out censors, the only way to do this is by coming to Unamused’s site, and learning the unpretty truth.
Sincerely,
- Arturo

Years ago I had planned to meet up with a Black friend — who is very sensitive to any racial slight, real or imagined — in a somewhat iffy part of Oakland, CA. As I waited on the street, a group of Black teenage males came by and slowed down and hung around. I, being a good liberal and thinking that it would be racist and wrong of me to move away, stayed there. It turns out my friend had come from a different direction and had witnessed this, to me, non-event.
After we met up, he scolded me for not moving away or heading into a store or coffee shop. And get this. The reason I was being scolded was because I had left myself in an obviously dangerous situation because of my sense of White Privilege (!), that somehow my skin would make me immune to a threat that would not have protected someone Black.
This was one of the steps from me being a good liberal on race and other matters to where I now feel in relation to Blacks as a group, individuals excepted, that I can’t win, I owe you nothing, you are your own worst enemy and largely beyond any kind of help, and I could care less what you think of me.
And I have learned to love and cherish my White Privilege.
Seconding John up there. Being a race-ostrich does not cause you to be robbed by a black thug; it merely increases your risk. And even that is assuming you are not a hypocrite. Hypocrites can have the best of both worlds. They can live in a lily-white suburb (or more likely, one with just a sprinkling of diversity, all the better for denial), and send their kids a lily-white school (or more likely, one with just a sprinkling of diversity, all the better for denial).

This rap video shows what is prevalent in black “Urban” America.
There are real problems out there folks. Black folks know this too, and hate stupid liberals who ain’t real.

To Un: the flyer is weaker than it might be, because you don’t really address the primary argument of liberals. Many know that blacks are more criminal than white, but their crimestop for that is poverty. So I feel the flyer would be much stronger if you could work in an attack on that idea, namely, that even after controlling for poverty (or at least, “poverty”), NAMs are more criminal.
I.e.: everyone knows that poor people are more criminal… and they’re right… (stats)… it’s a stereotype;
You believe that black poverty fully explains the stereotype of black criminality… but you’re wrong. Even non-poor blacks are more criminal than poor whites… (stats)… sometimes stereotypes are wrong!
Thanks for all your feedback. I still like the last line the way I wrote it. ;)
You’re quite right, David F. I didn’t put enough effort into presentation. How does this version look?
Leonard: I suppose my primary purposes were to defend racial stereotyping and promote the message: You can be a “racist,” or you can be dead.
I mean, it’s not actually about race, crime, socioeconomic status, and so on. It’s definitely not a substitute for my big ol’ race & crime flyer. It’s really about allowing yourself to engage in stereotyping for your own safety.
Still, getting every liberal to admit that blacks & Hispanics are, in fact, more criminal, for whatever reason — rather than just more likely to be arrested, convicted, etc. — would be a decent start.
There is a logic problem in that last sentence. Which diminishes the self evident truth of the rest of the flyer. A DWL could agree with everything, then read the last sentence and justifiably dismiss your point out of hand.
Being “unracist” is not a cause of a beatdown or rape. There’s also a problem that you are asserting stats all the way and at your final point state Something that you fail to provide evidence for. Do racists avoid being victims of crime, moreso than DWL? Where are the stats? Obviously there are none. However it’s clear that someone who is racist is Honestly objecting to Both the negrification and criminalization of their society. I’m no more likely to be in a fight or less than a person who is an avowed antiracist unless you can prove otherwise.
I’m a professional editor btw.
How about for the last line… “It’s obvious the social experiment didn’t work out. Re institute segregation now and save the lives of thousands.. for the children.”
‘For the children’ works every time.
Wait a sec…
Arturo de Gheaube is flagged for posting hate speech…
Two posts later I click on Dewey’s YouTube link and watch Waka Flocka et al., singing the same word that Arturo was flagged for. In addition, many of the commenters use this word, too, and the video had 436 likes and only 22 dislikes.
From now on I will refer to Arturo de Gheaube as “Arturo, Prince of Irony.”
BTW – I flagged the video (on principle only) I don’t expect TPTB to recognize the double standard.
I love Reality’s “for the children” comment! At jewamongyou’s blog he cogently commented that forced integration is a form of child abuse.
Do it for the/your/our…all work equally well eh? Cheeky but effective.
Reality has a racial bias!
http://www.breadedcats.com/
‘Nuff said.
Another thing to consider: feminists (who significantly overlap DWLs) have no hesitation in using the fact that there is more male-on-female rape than the reverse to provide a critique of all men: i.e., the Brownmiller line that all men gain privilege by the fact that a small number of men rape women, since rape keeps all women in a state of subservience, blah blah blah.
But if this is the case, can one draw a similar conclusion that the high rates of black violence, especially inter-racial violence, serves a similar function in keeping other races in a state of fear, which is then exploited by race hustlers to gain political privileges (AA and the rest of the rackets)? Add to this such things as violent flash mobs, gang-banging and urban riots, all of which in the last half century seem to be coming primarily from blacks. Is there a political component there insofar as these things have been used to gain an endless number of government and corporate programs? This was fairly blatant back in the 1960s, where the government went on overdrive to push through every manner of social engineering legislation in order to avoid more “long hot summers.”
Another thing: could it be that DWLs really are afraid of blacks? And the reason they provide blacks with everything from AA to media whitewashes is because they see blacks as higher up on the feeding chain, their natural masters in the pack? It would be interesting to do a psycho-biological study of DWL personality types and see what one comes up with.
Just some random thoughts…
So, who’s going to put their money where their mouth is and distribute this one?
And where are we going to put it?
I was trying to internationalise this flyer… but the International Crime Victimisation Survey doesn’t mention race (of perpetrator or victim). It does cover both White and North East Asian countries though, and white countries have more crime, in line with the stereotype.
Where else should I look?
I do think the American establishment wanted Obama in office to ameliorate black rioting BEFORE it occurred. I’m astonished there were no riots between 2008-10 looking back now. Was he pushed on us in part to prevent a long hit black summer?
It is genocidal for whites to ignore race in sexual activity, having children, marriage, neighborhoods, crime, et al.

Also more likely to exceed the speed limit or text while driving.
your best flyer yet
No riots in 2008-2010? What do you call “Beat Whitey Night” at the 2010 Iowa State Fair?
Which reminds me, I need to start breaking in some leather for the 9mm and find the extra magazine for the .380.
John: From 2008–2010 there were lots of black race riots/”flash mobs” and plenty of black-on-white mob violence. “Beat Whitey Night” and the Akron mob attack are two spectacular examples, and there were lots of flash mobs in Philly as well. The politicians, police, and mainstream media just covered them all up.
Black Power White Power: Here’s my usual list of suggested places to put flyers. Leave them at people’s houses. Tape, staple, or glue them in public places. Pin them up on bulletin boards. College campuses are full of them. Put them between the pages of free newspapers and magazines. Leave them on seats where someone is likely to sit and read: buses, coffee shops, libraries, classrooms, auditoriums, etc. If you do leave flyers in a classroom or auditorium, make sure one ends up on the podium or wherever the lecturer is most likely to see it. You can also leave comments with links to my flyers (and yours) at other websites.
Very true, George. Thanks, stonelifter.
No I meant something more like the King riots, both Rodney and Michael.
Violent blacks are the ordinary state of things. I’m alluding to the scale of an entire city burning down over night.
Some tactics for flyering:
Turn the expedition into an outing. Go with a friend or two. Afterwards, go out for lunch or whatever. Being active is good for morale and shows you can strike back at the system.
Have your logistics in order: staple guns, tape, plenty of flyers.
Do a recon: walk the area to be flyered ahead of time to see where there are bulletin boards and other locations to post.
Know your audience. If you have a school (for example) which is sympathetic to your flyer’s message, this may be a way to bring in more people to your website (URL should be displayed on the flyer). If you have a school which is hostile to your message, this is a chance to drive them nuts. Also, there will be people who are fed up with PC on campus and will look to you as someone who is rebelling against the system.
Have a cover story if you are stopped. Like, “We’re exercising our First Amendment rights.”
Do a “post strike evaluation” to see how many flyers remain posted on bulletin boards. I’d estimate that 50% of flyers will be removed within 24 hours, and most of the rest within a week. But that’s OK, because if this is a college campus, thousands of people will have seen them. (I’ve seen flyers stay up for months in some places.)
You might consider a followup flyering expedition. Advertising indicates that most people have to see a flyer several times before it makes an impact.
Have fun!
I was trying to internationalise this flyer… but the International Crime Victimisation Survey doesn’t mention race (of perpetrator or victim). It does cover both White and North East Asian countries though, and white countries have more crime, in line with the stereotype.
There are several websites which deal with crime rates in the new South Africa. Might be interesting to do something on crime after apartheid.
Must agree with John – the next to last sentence in the flier is a bridge too far.
My suggested correction:
*You can remember them and risk being called a “racist,” or you can forget them and risk being beaten, robbed, raped, or even murdered.*
So the last paragraph becomes:
“Ignoring racial differences in violent crime rates is suicidally stupid. You can remember them and risk being called a “racist,” or you can forget them and risk being beaten, robbed, raped, or even murdered. Your choice.”
Admittedly, not quite so punchy as the original – but a lot harder to dismiss without thinking. Or so I’d hope.
Californian writes: ‘Have a cover story if you are stopped. Like, “We’re exercising our First Amendment rights.”’
That works if you’re a Californian, but most parts of the world don’t have a first amendment, and publishing unwanted statistics is a crime worse than pedophilia.
The more they ban it, the more I want to do it (the publishing unwanted statistics, I mean), but I need to be more careful. I’ll have to think how to do it.
I think that final version looks very good. I agree with some of the comments on the last sentence. Don’t force the reader to “be racist.”
You could even subvert the quasi-PC phrase “racially aware.” After all, “improving our awareness” is always a *good thing*!
Thank you all for your feedback. I have updated the flyer to take into account as much of it as possible, and I think you’ve improved it a lot.
The major differences are as follows:
1. I mention that ignoring any stereotype puts you at risk.
3. I emphasize that you also put your family at risk when you ignore racial stereotypes when, e.g., buying a home or choosing a school for your kids.
3. I add some… nuance… to the last line, which is now a last paragraph.
4. I point out that socioeconomic factors do not account for race differences in crime rates.
Un, what can I say. Beautifully done. The best so far. Highlighting the “other” non-controversal stereotypes that EVERYBODY knows, was pure brilliance (94/100 parts brilliant).
Also, find some other French chicks to join the usual suspect.
By the way, for those who aren’t keeping up with the newer comments on older articles: Dave Segal has just expanded his ad for Unamusement Park, oops, I mean his post on Seattle’s the Stranger about the evils of white racism, into a whole major article for the main section of the paper in the print and online versions! Before it was just a tiny piece in the minor online music section, but now we’ve gone mainstream!
http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/white-mans-book-does-justice-to-black-power-music/Content?oid=12745243
The link to it on their front page is quite prominent too (just under the main article calling for everyone to rig the election).
Are videos like this a good way to break down PC?
“Put ‘Em in the Body Bag” by “Wooh Da Kid” (of course, ft. Waka Flocka)
The weird alliance of peacenik anti-gun rights liberals with low-class blacks is just amazing. These people have nothing in common, they need to see this fact. How can this be? DWL’s with misogynistic, gun-loving, racist blacks… This cannot be that difficult to do.
Yeah, I’m sure poverty, slavery and the evil white Capitalists are to blame for this attitude you see in this video…
It’s funny. I grew up in a working-class White neighborhood where all this stuff was simply accepted as regular knowledge and common sense.
Nobody I know needs to be overtly told these things, but it’s definitely a massive morale booster to see it posted in public, loud and proud, instead of being furtively whispered.
Next thing is to start speaking Truth about Islam, which, being exotic here as yet, is not yet a topic of lucid folk wisdom.
I like how this points out that perfectly normal behaviour like choosing a good school is a form of racism, whatever that means. You have to normalize and naturalize it. It’s like saying “Guess what, folks, anti-racists don’t want you to be safe, well educated or happy.
Crime is always an interesting one for liberals because everyone knows men commit more crime than women. It’s hard to blame that on s8xism, or poverty. So having accepted that there are probably biological reasons for differences in crime, it then figures that those factors may be relevant to group differences too.
Has Dave Segal agreed to run the flyer in the next edition of Stranger? :P
Unamused,
Now that the buzz of making you famous has worn off, I have come up with a new and even more devastating idea for flyer-festooning. (You will hear about it soon enough.)
I had a close call when I was nearly nailed the other day at one of my drop-off points, and I am not sure if citing free speech (or even the desire to prevent rape and murder) would have saved me from the career-killing public pillory followed by a deadly pelting-by-Segalian-poofter-pomade, even if I could have escaped incarceration.
Also, if I had been caught, the inquisitional tribunals could easily dream up some kind of reason to lower the boom, such as, for example, having me arrested for tampering with public property, or for sabotaging the advertising value of any advertisement that happens to be on or near the festooned page of whatever hipster rag I rescue from banality. Lesbian plumbers and neo-tribal Body Modification Hut-hunkerers pay out the pomo-perforated wazoo for those things.
I too like the logical sequence.
Men, men 15-38, less affluent men 15-38, black men less affluent 15-38: they account for almost all violent crime!
The logic is inescapable. No one could read that and conclude that race isn’t a massive factor in a propensity toward violence. Nothing else can possibly explain it away without looking like excuse making.
When posting controversial flyers with an accomplice: One man places the real flyer underneath a fake, anodyne, moving sale flyer and staples them up; the other man comes along a few minutes later and tears down the moving sale signs, exposing the hate. The lead man is doing nothing outwardly untoward, and the trailing man can plausibly claim to have found “racism” and, outraged, to have begun tearing down the flyers between triggers. This is a Black Bloc technique and may go back to the time of the Tsars for all I know.
Armchair editing: Why mention the “R” word at all? Stick to the euphemistic “wisdom of stereotypes”. Let the flyer serve as a “baby step,” reassuring a status conscious audience that they don’t have to spout off at a manchego tasting to benefit from eons of social experience. Just respect stereotypes when your safety is at stake.
Full Stranger reference to the flyer:
What kind of name is Segal?
i gotta admit, it’s kinda fun to post there:)
(e.g., “crime rate facts are “quasi-intellectual”? facts are racist? books that call people “whitey” are cool? where’s Orwell when we need him!”:)

Check out the commenters and their racial breakdown on this Army Times article about the firing of the chief of the drill sergeant academy (for typical black behavior.)
http://www.armytimes.com/news/2011/12/army-teresa-king-drill-sergeant-school-commandant-suspended-121311w/
Note that it’s a total racial split between whites who joined to fight their country’s wars and blacks who joined the Army for the green welfare system and took various administrative jobs. Note the levels of hatred below the surface, the threats to have white soldiers punished for expressing their opinions, the rush by former protected subordinates of SGM King to defend her (which is how things work in the military’s ethnic mafias.)
One man places the real flyer underneath a fake, anodyne, moving sale flyer and staples them up; the other man comes along a few minutes later and tears down the moving sale signs, exposing the [real flyer].
This is a very good idea.
Any other useful tactics out there?
The weird alliance of peacenik anti-gun rights liberals with low-class blacks is just amazing.
Perhaps the DWLs see the blacks as having the traits of violence and aggression that they would like to have in themselves, and thus identify with them? Or they see blacks as the muscle they can use against other whites? Or the DWLs are “Omega” types following the natural lead of the “Alpha dogs” of the pack?
They are getting awfully close to a horde of blacks balkanizing Seattle. But we still got a few plucky whites who refuse to accept their own dispossession.
Phucking Hipster Wankers.
I guess Thomas can revel in the fact that he has exposed a new audience (me) to the Watts Prophets. It’s mostly “Slam”-quality free verse, delivered in angry black baritone and backed by bongos. Hostility to Whites is a running theme, but — surprise — so is the Prophets’ frustration with low cognition, laziness, and crime among the black masses. Alas, the “Panthers’ Burden.” It’s like Kipling… that you can dance to!
To Chef Boyhowdy,
This you said:
“Hostility to Whites is a running theme, but — surprise — so is the Prophets’ frustration with low cognition, laziness, and crime among the black masses.”
I concur that within the Black Power movement, there is a positive strain of improvement of the Black people. They would actually agree with much of what is written on HBD websites. They simply believe there is a way to unlock the potential of Black people, and seek to improve the morals of their community. Instead of alienating these Black who desire an improvement of their race, I advocate allying with them.
This requires recognizing, on both sides, the inherent disadvantages of the Black race. Lower intelligence test scores, higher rates of criminality, and general disorder can be agreed upon as Black disadvantages. Can we all agree on this and move on to ways to counter this?
The Black advantages are greater creativity, stronger bodies, quicker maturation, and greater self-confidence.
If we recognize the inherent weaknesses of Black people, and provide the strong structure, absolute discipline, and quick technical skills they need, they can flourish better than they do now. This happened before desegregation, and their business venture and marriage rate was far higher than now.
Black people will always have lower intelligence test scores, but that does not mean they can’t make up for that with intense, basic technical training.
It’s time to let the Blacks who want to succeed separate from the chains of pity. There are allies in the Black community we can work with.
See “Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny”, led by Rev. Jesse
the chains of pity
Disagree with an alliance. Blacks are not gifted sportsmen either. Just explosive runners and punchers. They are average to poor: drivers, swimmers, skiers, pilots, shooters, horse riders and Engineers or animal trainers. REAL sports and related activities. They are not the best footballers either. Association Football that is. They can catch a ball and run though. Bfd.
“The Black advantages are greater creativity, stronger bodies, quicker maturation, and greater self-confidence.”
Those are all major disadvantages in black people. They are some of the reasons it’s dangerous to be around black people.
The advantages are being more resistant to osteoporosis, skin cancer, and malaria.
I had an interesting experience with the Stranger readership in Jan ’11:
http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Author.html?oid=6351928
I credit the editors with running my stuff completely unedited. The readers were apoplectic.
Hey! Welcome, Dennis Dale. Maybe you gave a few Stranger readers heart attacks. We can only hope.
I think Dewey (#61) might be on to something. Jesse Lee Peterson’s book “Scam” is a good place for skeptics to start. Also Gedaliah Braun’s “Racism, Guilt and Self-Deceit.”
The Dennis Dale essays are hilarious. I recommend “Unity in Levity”, though I may find another favorite before I’m done.
The reader comments are even funnier, in a sad “how can they possibly not get it?” way.
Hi Dennis!
You’re great, but your posts are long and hard to read. Maybe you’re deliberately pitching it so far over black people’s (and dumb liberals’) heads that they can’t tell you’re a race realist, and can’t complain. Or maybe it’s just bad writing.
Most of the comments seem to be “I couldn’t get through the first paragraph” rather than their usual “Eat s*** you ignorant racist ****”. But I don’t know which response you were after.
I loved the Omar Thornton post. Their double standard is obscene.
I’ve only read his last article — about Eric “Nation of Cowards” Holder — and I thought it was well written, easy to read, and not too long. According to the race denialist liberal commenters, however, it was poorly written, difficult to read, and way too long. I dunno about his other articles but it might be a matter of taste, not to mention politics.
…Or maybe it’s just bad writing.
I only leave the house to be reminded why I should never leave the house.
Does it all have to be plainsong to you people? Do you never tire of it?
By the way, I used my real name and no Stranger writers showed up to refute me (though at one point someone wailed “why doesn’t Charles Mudede [apparently their senior black marxist on staff] write a rebuttal?”)
F—ing BPWP! You have no idea what it’s like to stand out in the open. I was making these arguments while you were reciting MLK speeches in middle school! “Bad writing”! Aggh!
The Monday of my first posting there was MLK day, too! Just dumb luck that. So I gave them the Omar Thornton post–comparing dull Omar’s second-hand indoctrination into critical race theory, and the appalling news coverage which took him seriously, with the hysterics surrounding Jeremy Loughner, the Arizona shooter.
They didn’t get it. Story of my life.
i read the “something for the ladies” and “it seemed like a good idea” posts and i thought they were pretty fuckin awesome. the author does not have a responsibility to make his writing compatible with 21st century attention spans.
“the author does not have a responsibility to make his writing compatible with 21st century attention spans.”
I didn’t mean to suggest that he did. Just that it might, or might not, be beneficial for him to do so, depending on what he was trying to achieve.
“I only leave the house to be reminded why I should never leave the house.”
You really should leave the house, but you should take friendly criticisms on board. Like Unamused did with his flyer. It doesn’t mean people don’t appreciate what you do, just that we have ideas that we think might (or might not) help.
“F—ing BPWP! You have no idea what it’s like to stand out in the open.” I have some idea, which is why I don’t do it yet. You are a braver man than me. But you also live under a different legal system.
Another curious thing about the Stranger readers that I see hasn’t worn off yet–this obsession with “troll spotting”. One or more of them will call out a commenter as an author’s sock-puppet (“Mencius Moldbug is actually Dale himself”–one errant Columbo inadvertently flattered me). I had maybe two defenders there, and the one they didn’t know already just had to be me! It’s a form of greed.
“Say what you really mean” another obliviously goaded (of course, there is that problem with reading comprehension. I almost chided them at one point–some hadn’t got the racism until day two, it seemed–by saying their professors would be ashamed).
You’re out there speaking the unspeakable and they’re still trying to paint you as furtive. That’s the game, of course. Nothing scares them so much as your decency. Like you’re being right, it drives them insane.
So be good, and be right, and don’t be greedy–if you can’t prove it don’t assert it–and provide them always with the example in decent conduct and logical rigor they so desperately need, thus causing fear, confusion and general discomfort to your enemies. Keep it up.
Ok BPWP; sorry about the prickly nature. I can’t help it (how’s that for “HBD”?).
Some blacks are violent but all blacks gain from their threat of black violence.
@Dennis Dale: those posts of yours at The Stranger were just beyond brilliant…and the reader response just beyond pathetic.

Once, when midnight smote the air,
Eunuchs ran through Hell and met
On every crowded street to stare
Upon great Juan riding by:
Even like these to rail and sweat
Staring upon his sinewy thigh.
@Unamused:
Another one of the flyers you highlighted on your site a while back is seeing use. I’m sure you don’t mind. That’s what they are there for.
