Birdman, many thanks. It's not my intention to assail you with a constant stream of pontifications on Tim Wise, but I remembered an earlier piece I wrote which is a refutation of an earlier essay of Tim's which you thought needed spiking. I didn't send it because I didn't think that it was of sufficent caliber for your website. On re-reading it I actually think that it's quite good. Anyway, if you like it I'd be delighted if you would post it.
Cheers! Calvin
Pro-White
author Birdman Bryant has challenged the race realist community to refute
the assertions made by anti-racist author Tim Wise in his ZNet essay,
"Playing Our Race Card: Reflections on Reverse Discrimination". In ascribing any
credibility to Wise in the first place, Birdman, like Jared Taylor before him,
is displaying, to paraphrase racists, TNLB, typical non-liberal behavior. In
doing so he assumes that Liberals subscribe to baseline levels of honesty,
common sense and integrity. Being a liberal apostate, who once espoused the same
vapid opinions as Tim, I have no such illusions. Bryant and Taylor are too smart
to have ever believed in the liberal catechism. I, on the other hand, was dumb
enough to partake of the poisoned fruit, but as the cliche goes, "You can fool
some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you
can't fool all of the people all of the time". I know Tim’s mindset from the
inside out. I accept Birdman's challenge.
Tim's
knee-jerk musings were inspired by, in his own words, "A case arising in New
Orleans, in which the city's first Black D.A apparently fired 53 Whites in his
office and replaced them with African Americans". Tim's analysis is that such
apparently signal events are not indicative of a general trend and are, in fact,
newsworthy simply because of their stunning infrequency. As such, the widespread
reportage of this example of reverse discrimination is an unwelcome distraction
from the under reported pandemic discrimination suffered by Black Americans.
Let's subject Tim's conclusions to some heavy redneck
analysis.
First off,
I have a problem with the phrase, "apparently fired". I've been employed, I've
been unemployed and I've been fired. I have never, however, been, "apparently
fired". Is Timmy expecting us to believe that these people are still there
hiding under their fucking desks or something? Right from the out Timmy is
pouring on the salve of good ol' liberal linguistic emollient. Eddie Jordan was
using a, "sledge hammer approach to achieving diversity" which was "clumsy" and
"wrong headed". It takes Tim around one and a half thousand words to finally
admit that Jordan's actions were, "clearly wrong". By that time Tim has bathed
the whole issue in so much semantic whitewash and "context" that if you had been
told that Jordan had masterminded the 9-11 atrocity you'd still be indignant
about a refusal to grant him a pilot's license.
It should
be clear from Eddie Jordan's actions that his and Tim's interpretation of
"achieving diversity" is not the same as yours or mine or any other sane
persons. This is full on Robert Mugabe diversity. You know? The disinheritance
of White people through a campaign of brutal murder, torture and intimidation.
This is the diversity Black raps bands are “celebrating” when they crow "Homies
think I'm crazy cos' I killed a White baby".
Let me
tell you how it is Timmy. Cases of reverse discrimination against Whites are, as
you assert, a statistical rarity, not because, as you claim Blacks are less
likely to discriminate against Whites than Whites are against Blacks, but
because the catastrophic level of Black underachievement means that few Blacks
ever attain positions from which they can discriminate against Whites. The
Jordan case, a case of vicious racial discrimination, blatant to the point of
stupidity, not a case of " a sledgehammer approach to diversity" shows that when
Blacks are unfairly elevated beyond the limits of their natural abilities to
positions of power over Whites, the results can, however, be
spectacular.
Why are so
few Blacks achieving positions of authority in society? Well! The ugly truth is that a hugely
disproportionate number of African-Americans seems to be too
busy:
a.
Indulging in illegal intoxicants.
b.
Committing crime.
c. Being
in jail.
And
generally conforming to a stereotype created for them by the culture machine of
the media elite.
Don't
believe me? Ask Bill Cosby.
Speaking of Bill, did you ever see proportional representation of Whites
on the Cosby Show, or for that matter My Wife and Kids, or any of the many other
“Black comedy” shows where White people are consigned to the role of occasional
comedic geek? That’s probably an accurate indicator of the position Whites will
enjoy in Wise’s new utopia. You
could say, of course, that White people are just getting a taste of their own
medicine. Fine, but in that case, will people please stop telling me that they
are involved in a struggle for “tolerance”? Tell it like it is. You are involved
in a campaign of revenge against Whites for perceived historical damage done to
Blacks, from which all Whites, even (especially) the White trash descendants of
indentured servants somehow benefited.
Tim claims
to have heard dozens, nay hundreds of claims of reverse discrimination over the
years. He even claims to have developed a methodology whereby he can quickly
discern the universal falsehood of such claims. It seems that Tim is a regular
little witchhunter general. Funny how Tim’s clairvoyant powers seemed to abandon
him in the case of Black bigot Eddie Jordan. It’s a bit like the strange
disappearance of Uri Geller’s supernatural powers whenever the phrase
“laboratory conditions” was whispered in his ear. Tim is expecting us to believe
that he is the recipient of near constant complaints of discrimination from
Whites. Tim is a Jewish intellectual who pretends to represent blue collar
America. Sorry Tim, that checked work-man’s shirt is just a little too well
pressed, the nasal whine a little too irritating and real men don’t invent
tortured neologisms like “audibilize”, and if you think that the utilization of
such pretentious jargon is a demonstration of your intellectual superiority,
neither do English Professors. Speaking as a genuine member of the evil White
working classes, I have never once heard anyone making a claim of reverse
discrimination. I find it hard to believe that Timmy, in the rarefied milieu of
intellectuals and professionals that he inhabits has heard “hundreds” of such
complaints. I suspect that Timmy is being creative with his anecdotal evidence,
or, in the parlance of the working-class White folk Tim pretends to represent,
Timmy is a lying sack of shit.
The
simple fact is that far fewer African-Americans ever attain positions in
the workforce which grant the power to hire and fire and this explains the lack
of reverse discrimination against Whites. Tim, who cannot for reasons of
political correctness acknowledge this obvious truth, takes six whole paragraphs
to convince us of its veracity. What exactly is Tim trying to prove? Does the
fact that, for reasons of underachievement, Blacks are statistically less likely
to practice anti-White discrimination, make it OK for the few who are able to
discriminate to do so in grande mal Eddie Jordan fashion? Six paragraphs to
establish exactly nothing. Nice work Timmy?
Wise
concludes this sorry exercise in tail chasing by observing that, because reverse
discrimination claims are 72% less likely to be successful than claims of
discrimination made by Blacks, reverse discrimination claims are less credible.
The heuristic alternative carefully avoided by Tim is that the fact that
discrimination legislation was set up for Blacks, was designed for use by Blacks
and that discrimination trials take place against a popular cultural background
in which racism is portrayed as a uniquely White attribute, makes it almost
impossible for White victims of discrimination to get justice. If the racial
roles pertaining to this statistic were reversed, Tim would, of course, be
presenting this as res ipsa loquitur evidence of anti-Black racism in the
judicial system. The double standard seems to be about the only standard Tim
Wise adheres to.
Timmy
continues his rambling and by now, largely irrelevant discourse by citing two
cases of reverse discrimination, one successful and one unsuccessful, which if
they prove anything, prove nothing more than that academic standards have ceased
to be the major criteria for admittance to American universities. A sad reality
which assholes like Tim are most likely to be responsible
for.
Slippery
Tim likewise evades the rather obvious reasons for the justifiable reservations
White employers have about hiring Blacks and Hispanics. White people are wary of
these particular ethnic minorities (but not others funnily enough) because of
the reputation these minorities have for gangsterism and trouble making. If
Blacks and Hispanics don’t like this then they should address their concerns to
the minority of miscreants in their own communities rather than blame Whites. If
you create a society in which people are encouraged to cling to their
pre-immigration cultures so that they might feel more comfortable, how valid is
it to deride White people for showing a preference for people of their culture?
Are White people not allowed to enjoy the same privileges as
non-Whites?
In a
similar vein, Tim fails to see that the statistics he provides revealing that
Blacks earn an average of 10% less than whites, only indicates racial
discrimination in the absence of any other obvious explanation. Maybe Blacks are
more troublesome, less productive and less dedicated employees? Isn’t there a
statistic pertaining to the profusion of criminal records among professional
Black basketball players? Might this not indicate a hidden factor mitigating
against Blacks in the workplace? If there is, don’t expect to hear about it from
Tim Wise. You see Wise’s is not a genuine statistical analysis, based on all of
the available statistical data, it’s an analysis based on selected statistics,
carefully culled from the available data. That’s not an evaluation technique.
It’s a propaganda technique.
Tim’s
closing gambit is the tired old “blame the rich strawman”. Pretending to
champion the little guy against the bad rich guys was the modus operandi of
Wise’s predecessors in Communist Russia. Having achieved their ends (power of
course) they showed their great love of the proletariat by exterminating about
sixty million of them. Nepotism is
nothing new and was far more evident back in the fifties when crime was far
lower and feral ethnic gangs had not made large parts of our inner cities no go
areas. It’s not nepotism which is responsible for the implosion of American
society. It’s Tim Wise and the liberal intelligentsia.
In
conclusion, Tim invites those in disagreement to write him and give it their
“best shot”. Don’t flatter yourself Tim. I don’t even limber up for lightweights
like you. Consider this to be a backhand slap.
