I’ll just say it: the Martin Luther King model has turned out to be a catastrophe for both America and the black population. It taught that political activism is the way ahead. Straight line from Du Bois to King to the race hustlers of today. Keep in mind that Du Bois – founder of the NAACP – was the son of an immigrant who lived a middle class life in an integrated, American community which gave him so much opportunity that he obtained a PhD from Harvard…but he rejected the ideology of Frederick Douglas which urged integration and became a Pan-Africanist…a black nationalist. This man, who had no connection to American slavery or Jim Crow, used both of those to attack the nation which had given him a great life. And it has simply lead to disaster.

A couple days ago an old man in New York was murdered – pushed onto the subway tracks by a random attacker. The attacker was there because a couple weeks before that, he had assaulted a random woman who refused to press charges because she “didn’t want to see another black man in jail”. This is where race-conscious political activism leads…to complete insanity. Had we kept with Douglas things would have been better. Here is George Washington Carver’s – a man strictly in the tradition of Douglas – eight points of the true Lady or Gentleman:

Be clean both inside and out.

Who neither looks up to the rich nor down on the poor.

Who loses, if needs be, without squealing.

Who wins without bragging.

Who is always considerate of women, children and old people.

Who is too brave to lie.

Who is too generous to cheat.

Who takes his share of the world and lets other people have theirs.

Nobody can improve upon this – it is all anyone needs. If everyone followed these precepts – even if haltingly and with mistakes – this world would approach Paradise. But it was abandoned – and largely so because the white upper class in the USA paid for it to be abandoned. They paid for political activism…because they simply could not imagine a world where black people were their actual equals. I know that sounds weird, but it is so – for all the trouble Klan racism caused, the worst was that of upper class whites in the big cities. It was they who essentially decreed that black Americans could not make it…and so they were going to pay off political radicals who would keep a welfare-dependent black America in line for them. This all needs to be reversed…and the means are now in place. The end of race-based districting is the door being kicked in…the end to racially set-aside political power at the beck and call of urban white liberals.

The media is barely reporting it but the US Navy is winning the battle for the straight decisively – and if this were normal times, we’d now have national heroes to celebrate. But it works out well for Trump so the MSM prefers to ignore the fact that the Iranians tried their best to attack our ships and got totally destroyed without even causing damage. And the blockade continues…Iran is desperately trying to get empty tankers into their ports because they’re running out of storage room for oil…and I guess that if you shut down production you can’t just whistle it back up. That is, once it is cut off, there’s a significant time and effort cost to get it back up and running again…time when you have to spend a lot of money while not making any. I honestly don’t know what game the Iranians think they are playing…Trump will resume strikes if there’s no deal. And as we’ve now got past the War Powers Act time line, he can resume strikes at any time without having to invoke the Act.

The redistricting fight has ended in catastrophe for the Democrats. Do think about it: in response to Democrats massive gerrymanders (which, among other things, shut the GOP out of New England even though 40% of the voters there are GOP), the Republicans did a modest gerrymander in Texas (nowhere near as byzantine as the districts Democrats draw in their gerrymanders). In response, Democrats went flat out…and in Virginia tried to draw a 10-1 gerrymander in a State Trump got 46% of the vote in. To do this, they had to violate laws that they had written! It was Democrats who got Virginia a “non-partisan” redistricting commission. It was theirs – it had already drawn districts overly favorable to Democrats. And there were strict provisions in their own law to prevent redistricting outside the commission structure (this to prevent a transient GOP legislative majority from writing districts!). Democrats ignored all that, forced through their referendum (at the cost of $70 million)…while the GOP just waited for it to be done, got an injunction against the results and then a SCOVA ruling on the obvious…it was against the law for Democrats to do that. Now its at least even money for the GOP to hold the House (personally, I think it’ll be 222 or better GOP, but we’ll see)…because in response to the Democrat outrage in Virginia and the SC ruling that race-based districts are unconstitutional (mostly because they are), Red State after State is redrawing districts. Florida already has their new districts…and we’re going to get 4 more GOP reps out of the State.
