John Derbyshire Was Right: Rainy Sunday Edition
Apr 28th, 2012 by Unamused
Item 10h from John Derbyshire’s infamous “The Talk: Nonblack Version” (which is the reason he no longer writes for the long-declining, increasingly irrelevant “conservative” magazine National Review):
(10) [W]hile always attentive to the particular qualities of individuals, on the many occasions where you have nothing to guide you but knowledge of those mean differences, use statistical common sense:
(10h) Do not act the Good Samaritan to blacks in apparent distress, e.g., on the highway.
A small sample of the hysterical responses
Let’s not overthink this: John Derbyshire is a racist.
Well, Ta-Nehisi Coates is obviously in no position to overthink anything.
Once in a while, I read something and think: Please, Lord, tell me that this is a joke. Please, please tell me that a human being did not actually think these things and, worse yet, think to write them down.
Note to logic-impaired leftists: eye-rolling technically does not constitute a rebuttal.
a perfect example of why Australia needs racial vilification laws
Wait, Australia?
a lot of tired racist stereotyping under the guise of “public safety” for white people
Public safety for non-White people, but “public safety” for White people. Anti-racism is anti-White.
He even suggests they should tell their children to avoid helping black people in distress
Another note to logic-impaired leftists: Derbyshire’s advice is not obviously or necessarily or a priori wrong, as it would be if he had said: “You should both avoid helping black people and not avoid helping black people.”
telling your children not to help people in distress based on their skin color… is downright crazy talk
CRAZY?! I’LL SHOW YOU CRAZY!
Gawker again:
I’m not saying white people should accost John Derbyshire and shoot him with guns in his white neighborhood, then refuse to assist him when he lies in a state of “apparent distress,” until he dies.
Yes, you are.
Why Derbyshire was right
Here is a perfect example of why you shouldn’t “act the Good Samaritan to blacks in apparent distress” — even if they’re 14-year-old girls. From Orangeburg County, South Carolina: “Teen girls plead guilty in carjacking case” (April 27).
Orangeburg County Sheriff Leroy Ravenell announces two 14-year-old girls pled guilty in Family Court Thursday to Sunday’s carjacking at Ashley and Mingo Streets.
Ravenell explains “The 21-year-old victim was giving the two girls, she did not know, a ride on Sunday evening because it was raining. After stopping at a house, one of the suspects got out of the vehicle to knock on the door. When that suspect returned, she pulled the victim out of the vehicle, threw her on the ground and kneed her in the head. The suspect got into the victim’s vehicle and drove off. Officers located the stolen vehicle on Tuesday near the intersection of Bramble Lane and Bonneville Drive in a wooded area. The suspects have been detained since Tuesday at the Department of Juvenile Justice on charges of carjacking, assault and battery – third degree, and driving without a license.”
Of course, the races of the victim and perpetrators aren’t given. But the carjacking occurred at the intersection of Ashley and Mingo, and the car was left near the intersection of Bramble and Bonneville. Both are located in Brookdale, Orangeburg. Brookdale is 98% Black. Black people are more criminal than White people. Criminal gangs are rarely multiracial. Therefore, the perpetrators were both Black.
We don’t know if the carjacking victim was a Brookdale resident or just passing through. That she offered the teens a ride suggests she was a resident and thus probably Black, but there are a couple of reasons to think she may have been White.
- She actually offered a ride to two Black people she didn’t know, even though she was a 21-year-old woman. Non-White people don’t suffer from White guilt and aren’t paralyzed with fear of being called “racist,” so they don’t feel the need to take huge risks like this young woman did.
- She was carjacked and beaten up by two Black women. In general, Black violent offenders prefer White victims over victims of any other race.
In any case, John Derbyshire was right. This goes for everyone — White, Black, Asian, whatever — but especially White people. Please, for your own sake, think real hard before you act the Good Samaritan to Black people in apparent distress.
I can’t imagine what life is like being saddled with white guilt. It must be so awful.
Excellent article. New to this blog. Love your flyers as well.

It is. White guilt created our welfare state and the resulting ghettos, and everything that sprung from them.
Welcome Lily. Have some kitties. (They’re white.)
‘Note to logic-impaired leftists: eye-rolling technically does not constitute a rebuttal.’
I avoid reading anything by Coates, did see something [Derby Related?] in the Atlantic recently by him. Hes ‘huffington post type black’, there to point his finger at the DLs dumb enough to take him seriously, or at face value.
‘Someone gave strangers a ride’! Thats a NoNo. Learn from that ones error.
Love from the city that gave Van Jones a chance to speak for earth day, we all know how green terrorist VJ is! [ He was arrested here 20 years ago during USAs biggest riot, indeed he MAY HAVE HAD A HAND IN STARTING IT]
Sign me ‘Ex Me White Guilt’ [ saddle that dark hoss elsewhere].
Unamused: Thanks for the welcome and the kitties. Love kitties! <3
“The Talk” was the first thing I thought of when reading that article via Daily Kenn.

And the insanity continues. The EEOC wants employers to relax when doing criminal background checks because more blacks have crimiminal records: http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/04/26/eeoc-issues-updated-guidance-on-employee-background-checks/

I can’t imagine what life is like being saddled with white guilt. It must be so awful.
It was. Liberalism is like AIDS. The disease by itself is not destructive, it’s all the other diseases it allows in which do the damage.
Don’t leave the door unlocked and you won’t be compromised. I simply got tired of hurting myself and of pandering to them without getting any biscuits in return, so I sought out a cure.
Help others find the cure. Speak. It’s the only way to spread awareness, we need to have our own “race for the cure.” (pun intended)
“I can’t imagine what life is like being saddled with white guilt. It must be so awful.”
It is. I was once afflicted by white guilt, and I can attest, it causes you to exercise incredibly poor judgement, and do amazingly stupid things. It even causes you to block out blatant reality, in favor of egalitarian mythology.
But now I’m healed, I no longer feel guilty about the atrocious behavior of blacks. I’m among Those Who Can See, and my life is immeasurably improved.
Yes, let’s not overthink this: Ta-Nehisi Coates is an idiot.
Tell us, Ta-Nehisi, when was the last time a black “good samaritan” ever helped out a white person in distress?
Oh right, there is no such thing.
Thanks Lurker. I had most of those already and I’m planning to post about all of them, just as soon as I overthrow the Gratuitous French Girl and reclaim ze Park d’Unamusement.
… when was the last time a black “good samaritan” ever helped out a white person in distress?
Well… there are many Black people who do not hold any racial grudges and would help out a White person in distress. But with regard to the average behavioral traits of populations, I see your point.
I’m among Those Who Can See, and my life is immeasurably improved.
As long as we keep our mouths shut about what we
believeknow, we should be fine. It’s just that SOME PEOPLE, like me, insist on talking about it to convert others. Goddamn hippies, tryin’ to improve people’s lives ‘n’ shit.we need to have our own “race for the cure”

Derbyshire is a class act. Judging by the commentariat on mainstream “news articles” (anti-white hatchet jobs), there are tons of little John Derbyshires, Peter Brimelows, and Jared Taylors out there waiting to be led.
Comment pages on black-on-white crime news articles are a very important possible point of contact.
Oh dear Truth, you have picked a pseudonym I don’t like. It’s not your fault, it’s the fault of another fellow named Truth (aka “Troof”), who posts at iSteve fairly regularly. He’s a dufus who thinks it’s clever to call white people sport. Real classy.
I don’t know why it had to be an all-or-nothing gambit with the Derb business. I read the piece, and I agreed with some of his points, disagreed with others, and a few I consigned to Don’t Know or Can’t Tell.
Why the libs went whole-hog frothing instead of trying to dissect it and rebut it, I don’t know. Well of course, no, I do know, it just makes me sad that they’re so such low-level thinkers and writers.
In the old days it still seemed possible to have an intelligent conversation with a liberal, and sometimes they even convinced me they were right about something. That doesn’t seem possible any more, they don’t persuade, they just sputter.
“a lot of tired racist stereotyping under the guise of “public safety” for white people”
Actually it was in the guise of public safety for non-black people. But this writer had to make it about white people. I wonder why.
It really cuts to the core of the Liberal dis-believers and shows that common sense plays no part in their thinking process. I hope they help out all the Black folk they find, needy on the side of the road or on a street corner. Odds are, they’ll eventually be rewarded with a tire iron to the head and breathe their last rolled up in a carpet in a drainage ditch. It’s what seems to happen to most Whites that fraternize with [the underclass].
[edited for gratuitous censorship and croissants]
just as soon as I overthrow the Gratuitous French Girl
Throw her this way, would you? ADVthanksANCE
Unamused, In answer to yr question, the 4 that saved [no doubt]
Reg Denny from the mob. The Newpaper took time to point that ‘THERE WAS A BLACK MD ON THE TEAM THAT SAVED DENNYS LIFE IN THE HOSPITAL’….Gees, a black mob kills 50? and they point to the skin color of 1 MD!
Here in 90210 land the Media had a field day with ‘The Uprising [cough] and its 20 year anniversary’ [gosh].
Any comments on what the Media could have said about the biggest
riot in USA history? I say Van Jones [or his commie group] was waiting to start it and the media reported unrest, that was the cause. New Communists / Van Jones and the local Media.
9 Scott, thats old news. Like the Damn Dems wanting Felons to have the ‘right’ [cough] to vote. The left uses ‘rights’ as a term to advance agendas.
Animal Rights.
Black rights.
Immigrant Rights.
Theres an article at Takimag about this. Cheers!
Um… er… well… since we’re on the topic of Good Samaritans intervening… you see it’s like this… we were going to rescue you, really we were… it’s just that… well… we had to lull the Gratuitous French Girl into a false sense of security first. We were just waiting for her to let her guard down, and at the right moment we would spring into action.
“Criminal gangs are rarely multiracial.”
Actually it’s 19.1%, according to our favorite sources: Unamusement Park (http://unamusementpark.com/2011/12/quantifying-black-crime-the-commissions-deception/) and the National Crime Victimization Survey of 2010. Which isn’t quite “rare”, but it is less common. Of course that’s for the whole country (or at least those that have homes and are prepared to snitch); criminal gangs in 98% black Brookdale would be rarely multiracial, so your logic still stands. And it’s probably rarer for car-jackings.
I’ve been practicing remembering the figures and sources about black disfunction, rather than just relying on my normal, more intuitive, “Can’t you see the obvious pattern right in front of your eyes!” style of argument.
“abc.net.au:
a perfect example of why Australia needs racial vilification laws
Wait, Australia?”
Australia already has very strict (and unconstitutional) racial discrimination laws. For example, Australian journalist Andrew Bolt was arrested for saying (truthfully) that many “Aborigines” in academia tend to be mostly white, but rely on their slight Aboriginal ancestry for special privileges, and he’s now under strict rules about what he can say. No Australian journalist would dare point out the reality of racial differences.
ADVthanksANCE
LOL. That took me a few seconds to understand.
Have some kitties. (They’re white.)
Actually, kitties are effectively miniature black people. They are violent killing machines with low intelligence, short tempers, and huge egos and senses of entitlement. They can’t stand to be around their own kind without breaking into fights, but want to hang around us, constantly seeking attention and handouts, only to bite the hand that feeds them. They seem to have boundless energy for attacking or being a nuisance, but extreme laziness the rest of the time. And they never, ever, do anything for us in return.
But of course, white people encourage them, and give them everything they ask for, and treat them like royalty. Because empathy for complete outsiders that look sort-of childlike and needy, is a white racial trait that runs very deep.
I am no exception, and love kitties and let them boss me around as much as they like. But, now that I understand the realities and the consequences, I’m beginning to draw the line at black people.
Us racists still need an outlet for our natural empathy, and kitties are great for that.
[U: >:( ]
Kittyz iz brilliantz!
In defense of kitties, I did have a cat–a kitten no less–leap onto my bed once when I was half asleep and being menaced by a giant mosquito*. I was too sleep-addled to defend myself, but the kitten hopped onto the bed, pinned down the insect with paw, and ate (most of) it.
Good work, kitty!
* Total lie. It was a crane fly, a harmless species that interacts with humans mostly by getting caught in the house in the summer, and by maintaining a silly rumor that it eats mosquitoes.
Sorry about that kitties = black people analogy. I did not mean to offend, or permanently traumatise any racists. I didn’t want to spoil people’s future experiences with kitties. I love my kitty as much as anyone else does. But I do stand by the accuracy of the comparison, and what it says about the genetic personality traits of white people, including white racists. Except I forgot to mention the black speech patterns of lolcats.
Anyway, sorry. Here’s a white kitteh.
