The Tyranny of Guilt

From a review by Eric Kaufman in the fine British magazine Prospect of French intellectual Pascal Bruckner's The Tyranny of Guilt: An Essay on Western Masochism:
There is more, too, to be said about guilt itself. Could it be that making guilty noises signals sophistication and status, with the high priests of the left earning psychic wages equivalent to bankers’ bonuses? Or, given the collapse of ideology, are we witnessing a new form of spontaneous guilt, where ideas such as socialism give way to knee-jerk impulses like “my comfort makes me guilty.”

Personally, I don't think we need particularly sophisticated psychological theories about "white guilt." I haven't noticed many people particularly wracked by personal guilt over race. Instead, it's more an effective tool for people to get what they want from other people, money, power, admiration, or to reassure themselves that they are better than other people. For lots of people, the mentality of white guilt is simply the substance in which they swim, and they are no more inclined to stop and think about it than a fish thinks about water.

Which brings us to yet another Associated Press article, this one from mid-day Saturday, carefully sifting for evidence for the role of white racism in causing the Manchester Massacre.

The Associated Press delivers to its subscribers plain-vanilla news reporting from its reporters across the country, so these articles represent how plain vanilla journalists perceive how they are supposed to think in 21st Century America. These articles display the conceptual water in which these fish thoughtlessly swim.

Although the evidence dredged up so far appears to have been in the stupid and resentful mind of a thieving mass murderer, he was a black stupid and resentful thieving mass murderer, so attention must be paid. 
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — To those closest to him, Omar Thornton was caring, quiet and soft-spoken. He was excited to land a well-paying job at a beer delivery company a few years ago and his longtime girlfriend says they talked of marrying and having children.

But underneath, Thornton seethed with a sense of racial injustice for years that culminated in a shooting rampage Tuesday in which the Connecticut man killed eight and wounded two others at his job at Hartford Distributors in Manchester before killing himself.

"I know what pushed him over the edge was all the racial stuff that was happening at work," said his girlfriend, Kristi Hannah. ...

Thornton, who grew up in the Hartford area, complained about racial troubles on the job long before he worked at Hartford Distributors.

"He always felt like he was being discriminated (against) because he was black," said Jessica Anne Brocuglio, his former girlfriend. "Basically they wouldn't give him pay raises. He never felt like they accepted him as a hard working person."

One time Thornton had a confrontation with a white co-worker who used a racial slur against him, she said. Thornton changed jobs a few times because he was not getting raises, Brocuglio said.

"I'm sick of having to quit jobs and get another job because they can't accept me," she said he told her.

Brocuglia, who said she dated Thornton until eight years ago, said Thornton helped her become a certified nursing aide. She said he never drank or smoked and remained calm, even when she would yell or grab him.

"He was such a caring person," said Brocuglia, who is white. "He showed me so much love. He was like a teddy bear."

Brocuglio's sister, Toni, said Thornton would come home and say co-workers called him racial slurs. He was also upset by comments made by passers-by about the interracial couple, she said.

"He just didn't understand why people had so much hatred in their lives," Toni Brocuglio said.

Brocuglio said Thornton put her family up in a hotel after a fire at her house and was "like a second dad" to her children.

"Omar was the best man I ever met in my life," Brocuglio said.

Thornton ran into his own troubles a decade ago when he filed for bankruptcy protection.

His debts were discharged in 2001 and the case was closed.

Around that time, Thornton was hired as a driver with Chemstation New England, a chemical company in South Windsor. But he was let go after 10 months, unable to master the mechanical skills involved handling the equipment, said Bruce LeFebvre, the owner.

"He was a real nice kid when he was with us," LeFebvre said. "Certainly I would never have expected anything like this from him."

... Thornton and his mother were especially excited when Barack Obama was elected the first African American president, Hannah said. He listed Obama and the gun range among his interests on his Facebook page.

But Hannah said he showed her cell phone photos of racist graffiti in the bathroom at the beer company and overheard a company official using a racial epithet in reference to him, but a union representative did not return his phone calls. Police said they recovered the phone and forensics experts would examine it.

"Nothing else bothered him except these comments he would make about them doing the racial things to him," Hannah said.

The anti-White "anti-racist" regime aided, abetted, and now excuses these murders.

"I know what pushed him over the edge was all the racial stuff that was happening at work," said his girlfriend, Kristi Hannah.

What pushed him over the edge was anti-White "anti-racism".

So, will the authorities ever come out and show us what was on his cell phone?

I think the 'racism' was in the murderer's mind. It was his convenient explanation for why he could not get ahead.

(The chemical company said he could not learn to use the equipment. That is a big clue.)

Steve, I think it's time you provided some context here about facile blacks can be in processing the concept of "racism." Remember the S.F. baseball assault I related to you from 1982? Why not post it for readers?

I've been reading some comments on the web in reader talkback forums. One of the commenters said that the murder-victims deserved death simply because there weren't more blacks/minorities on staff and there's a *chorus* of leftwing voices declaring that the murders were justice for "racism". We don't even know *what* "racism" (if any) occured. If I am to understand correctly, if one WASP staff-member is overheard saying to another WASP staff-member that he doesn't feel absolutely worshipful toward blacks/jews/fill-in-the-blank, that gives the minority staff-members an absolute unconditional right to mass-murder. I keep having to pinch myself to check that this isn't just a bad dream.

No it is not a dream.

Check this commercial out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phe2SnvOAfw

There's another Lowes commercial running, a mother and daughter, both very blonde, helped out in a kitchen remodel by a wise Black woman at Lowes.

Here's another commercial:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8thg6jf94xo

Note the target audience: Women. White women. You can see the same stuff with Home Depot -- ads for paint, gardening stuff. A major push for the female consumer. I can't think of when I saw an ad targeting men from either Lowes or Home Depot.

Part of the push is "reassurance" that the company shares their PC/Diversity values. I.E. a "noble Platonic lie" about the nature, demographically and otherwise, of non-Whites (and the utter dweebishness of White guys). See the first video, the husband with the baby carrier might as well be the fabulous gay best friend. Its fairly typical of how ads present White guys (stupid dweebs).

Part of this is how dominated ad agencies are by gays and young women, White and non-White. But a good chunk of it is that the message, in two parts, White guy = dweeb, Black guy = super! is eagerly received by Steve's "Nice White Ladies" who form the core audience/target.

That's also true of local news and newspapers, both of which are overwhelmingly female in production and targets.

You can also see who does NOT get nailed for using the n-word, and other stuff: Big Men. Mel Gibson has Whoopi Goldberg defending him on the View. Why? He's a big man. Michael Richards, or Don Imus, not so much.

That's a massive indicator arrow (non-Big Man White guys murdered are "racist" and Mel uses the N-Word and is defended by Whoopi) about what the dynamics are.

Which means it won't change anytime soon.

I wonder if the journalist of this story is trying to get in the point that this guy was always feeling aggrieved no matter what (later the former boss basically notes the guy was incompetent).

With blacks it doesn't matter whether they do get pay raises or don't get pay raises, they're always feeling aggrieved. I work in a professional job. There is one black guy in my position. He is COMPLETELY incompetent, deeply surly, cocky, expecting his supervisor to be his lackey, etc. He has been given rewards, bonuses, and promotions which come at the expense of the rest of us (there is only so much bonus money and awards to go around). He was NEVER satisfied and always complaining and threatening to get more and more and more. Finally upper management got sick of him after he screwed up multiple projects and caused a lot of issues with outside people and so they tried to reign him in. He is borderline nuts and his attitude is just like that of this thieving murderer.

How likely do you think it is that the bosses at my job--liberal though they may be--are going to be looking to hire a black guy? After his threats, attitude, and incompetence I would say not too likely, affirmative action or not. Not fair to the competent blacks out there, but until their more attitudinal brothers cut the crap, that's what'll happen.

Worst thing to be said...

Until being a "racist" stops being among the worst things to be in the US, expect more of the same. I would like to see a poll on the subject of what is the worst thing to be. That is, what would they be most ashamed to be thought - what would they most be ashamed of one their relatives for being - who would they hope the worst for? Here's my guess of how it would poll:

1. Pedophile
2. Racist
3. Rapist
4. Terrorist
4. Woman beater
5. Murderer
6. Child Abuser
7. Animal Abuser
8. General Criminal(rob, steal,etc)
9. Drug dealer
10. Sexist

Don't take this the wrong way, but know where all the exits are in your building, and put 911 on your cell's speed dial. Not trying to be funny. The media have trumpeted across the nation that killing white people at work for perceived (imagined) "racism" is okay; every black in America is listening to this, and absorbing the message.

Would like to know if any public voice is condemning this mass-murder unconditionally.

Nonsense, if racist gets up that high it's got to be first. ;)

Actually, I suspect it is probably closer to #9 on that list... if we are being fair.

Liberals do like to have racists around otherwise they can't use them to get ahead.

Whiskey, in my experience, 100% of the time, when a guy makes an "all women" claim, but then is forced to say "well, you are an exception" it means: The woman/women I'm attracted to is "all women"; the rest are invisible.

Lawrence Auster had a key insight that I had been thinking for awhile myself: those who most eagerly want to help blacks due to liberal beliefs are the most likely to be victimized.

Relatedly, I couldn't help but think of the time I recommended a black guy as driver where my husband worked at the time (which I mentioned once on this blog). Hindsight is 20/20 and there was no union, but my guy was the polar opposite of this killer. A church-going married family man, he has been there for years now and is so perfectly suited and good that he'll probably retire from there. I've been wondering if, since political correctness makes one stupid, are all blacks kind of the same to these liberals?

Last thought, the majority of working adults and college students have probably experienced someone like Omar and love to share their stories and see who dealt with the worst Omar: the black person who is in over his head, knows it, but blames it on "racism" and is hostile to his co-workers/classmates. It will be like the Mel Gibson story: the media screaming at everyone to care about it and see it their way, but to no effect.

I second that thought. I've experienced more than one Omar. Incompetent+paranoid=seriously hostile black man. (By the way, I'm also a woman and agree with your first comment as well).

I give up said...

Okay, up 'til now I've resisted, quite manfully I think, pointing this out, but:

The men Thornton shot were victims of white anti-racism. Almost certainly the beer distributor coddled Thornton for some time because managers feared being accused of racism if they fired him (he was probably an affirmative-action hire in the first place).

If the beer distributed had fired Thornton when they noticed he was a dimwit with a chip on his shoulder instead of waiting until they caught him stealing the goods he was supposed to be delivering, they would have saved 8 lives and a hell of a lot of grief.

They keep talking about the shooter's labor union membership, and how his shop steward helped him get promoted from helper to driver.

Is that union under a Title VII consent decree or some such? I mean, a lot of Boston unions are.

Maybe that's the issue. Thornton shot up a bunch of middle-aged white men who were forced to keep a dangerous lunatic around because the union needed him to fill a quota.

We have an unstable situation in the U.S. The white man brought Africans (now about 38 million), millions of Latin Americans and countless other international all-stars to do work that he should have done himself. It didn't work out so well. These folks brought the ways of Africa, Latin America etc. along with them.

Despite their partial assimilation, many of the old ways remain. As the philosopher Roissy has said, "proximity + diversity = war." I'd substitute "serious conflict" for "war," but his point largely stands. It's possible we are a couple of shots away from Civil War II. Consider: one of our many riots jumps the tracks and winds up in white suburbia. The homeowner, who is often a gun owner, sees a slugger from the Crips or MS-13 crossing his lawn and approaching the area where his wife and children are sleeping. He lights them up (shoots them) and we're off. Retaliation ensues and we might quickly pass the point of no return.

The MSM's job is to keep the "lid on the garbage can" as a N.Y. cop described his own job in a related context. They are the public relations arm of our rulers. The Nazis were honest enough to have a Ministry of Propaganda. We have the MSM. The one-size-fits-all explanation for colored folks' misbehavior is "white racism." The media seems to have no Plan B and this one seems to work every time anyway.

To be clear, I see black men loving it up with their small children every day of my life. I've also seen more racial hatred directed at me and other white folks from blacks and Africanized American-born Latinos -- Dominicans and Ricans -- than the late brother Omar could imagine in his worst nightmares. I'll spare you the details, for now.

We're stuck with them and, from their point of view, vice versa, to be fair. It's hard to imagine that this event will do anything other than increase the hostility of many white people to blacks, but then I read other commenters saying that at liberal blogs the readers' remarks indicate that they swallowed Thornton's racism excuses whole. We live in interesting times.

The boers in South Africa who are atively dealing with the syndicates operating against them are usually very firm with their black employees and blacks they deal with. They are fair, but strict. They don't take any nonsense or chances since their lives may depend on them. These people are subjected to far more attacks than city liberals, but they survive. coz they play by the black mans' rules.

As Steve has pointed out many a time class as well as race is involved.

In terms of race, there's a disconnect between the MSM world and what people say publicly and how people REALLY behave.

In the public world, people say they are colorblind and any black crime or poverty is caused by nasty white men and their evil racism. MLK is a saint and African Americans are all judges, doctors, and Army officers.

In the real world, no one believes this. Whites don't mind being around a small percentage of blacks but once its gets too high, they move. In the real world, everyone avoids black neighborhoods, and views any young black man as a possible threat. If you see a black person in college or a high level job, the immediate assumption, usually correct, is that he/she is an affirmative action baby, who never would've made it on merit.

In the MSM world of make believe the shooter was a victim of "racism" in the real world we know he was probably another black headcase, a AA baby who was hired and kept employed because of his race.

none of the above said...

Most white guilt is pure signaling. As Robin Hanson would say, anti-racism isn't about race.

The irony here is that really buying the moral premises of white guilt would soon lead to far more racism from whites. If we're all to blame for the evil acts of everyone with our skin color, how do all the decent, hard working blacks avoid bearing the blame for black crime, drug use, high HIV rates, illegitimacy, welfare, etc.? But since white guilt isn't about race, this sort of concern never comes up.

Fred said...

The best defense is a good offense. If you just cover up in the corner, they'll keep pounding on you. Hollander should start punching back.

Step 1, confirm with his private eye that Thornton's girlfriend was involved in his beer stealing. If she was, go to the police and press charges. If she wasn't, dig up other dirt on her.

Step 2, sue the ex-girlfriend, Thornton's family, and anyone else who made unsupported claims of racism against the company for defamation. Sue any reporter who did the same too.

Step 3, hold a press conference while the bodies are still warm and shame the press for giving credence to Thornton's unfounded claims of racism, while dishing out dirt on Thornton and his girlfriend and contrasting them with the good lives lived by the men he killed.

Arthur Hu, in his Wonderlic-to-IQ conversion table, estimates that the Wonderlic people would like to see an IQ of "100 to 108" in a "Driver, bus or truck".

My guess is that Thornton probably had an IQ no higher than about 90 [he needed to be just smart enough to sweet-talk the white girls into sleeping with him], but that the chemical company was asking him to operate equipment which required an IQ out towards 105 or 110, and he just couldn't deal with it.

So I'm guessing that, in his final job, with the beer distributorship, either the union or the distributorship's management was trying to force a black with an IQ of about 90 into a job which had an IQ requirement about a standard deviation higher than that.

If I'm right, then it would be like asking a kindergarten teacher [IQ 115] to become a surgeon [IQ 130].

And no - he would never have gotten the gig if he hadn't been a quota hire.

Anonymous said...

Meant to add: The kindergarten teacher [IQ-115] could never legitimately become a surgeon because [on average] she wouldn't be able to ace her Organic Chemistry courses [or her two semesters of Calculus, or her semester of Physics].

I.e. on average, the kindergarten teacher would need a quota admission to medical school, followed by a quota admission to the surgical residency, if she wanted to become a surgeon.

How correct is the assumption? I'm just curious, haven't run the numbers.

Black cop, no other info. What odds are there that they're not affirmative action?

Same with black physician, corporate manager, and school teacher, to name the four we're most likely to encounter in daily life.

Without other info, I'm guessing for an individual black in a selective occupation, there's a 1:3 chance they're there on merit. How true is that? I'm not interested in silly rare occupations like astronaut or history professor.

“SWPLs think other white people are guilty and deserve to be punished. It's always a mystery to them why people like them are sometimes hit by minority violence.”

- Truths about race are a mystery to SWPL types because they rarely live in contact with substantial populations of blacks, and those blacks they are in contact with are several std. deviations above the black norm. As a result they can comfortably maintain their delusion that the failure and violence of most blacks is due to “white oppression”. Even though I was hit over the head with the White Oppression model like everyone else through the classroom and media every day growing up too, it didn’t stick because I went to a public school in a city where a third of the population was black. No amount of what I was told I should believe could overcome what I saw with my own eyes day in and day out. In a way, there is a silver lining to the ever-increasing populations of NAMs- more white kids will avoid becoming PC drones, no matter how much the MSM and schools crank up the nonsense.

In my case, I was summoned upstairs to add what I could to help the organization I worked for fight the racism charges. I was asked if I thought that he was actually capable of doing the work. I told them that I didn't know because I'd never seen any work he'd actually completed. That got a chuckle.

White guilt hasn't even been proven to exist - you think they REALLLLLY care about anybody other than themselves? - and you come up with a clever theory like this to explain it all?

White guilt is simply a euphemism for the phenomenon of status posturing. It is through this social game white people can feel superior over other white people who "don't feel guilty", who therefore have unrealised genocidal Nazi potential and cannot be trusted with money or power.

That's it. Simple as.

Racisim is a thought crime and most of those don’t come with jail sentences. We have some free speech protection left over from the Constitution to protect expression of it. That doesn’t mean the public thinks that the act of holding/expressing such a view is less immoral than murdering. To find out what they think, you would really have to poll them.
But consider that murder carries with it a hefty sentence. This shows that the public does indeed believe that murder is immoral. Consider that murder coupled with racism carries a higher sentence and is a “hate crime.” Thus, nonracist murder < racist murder.
Consider that movies and TV glorify some murderers. From gangsters to serial killers, it is clearly acceptable (if controversial) to sympathize with murderers. Racism may not be portrayed in a sympathetic manner.
But. Without a poll, the easiest way to compare the two is to consider from the public’s point of view the question: is a black man morally justified if he murders people who treated him in a racist way? Isn’t that what this whole story is about? Was this guy justified in killing these white folks? I think that if there had been serious smoking gun evidence of systematic discrimination against Thornton, a good percentage of the public would say that he was justified in killing them. If they believe that he was justified in killing the racists, it could only be so because being racist is worse than being a murderer.

That's right, pal, always blame whites no matter how much you have to twist logic, reason, and your mind into spaghetti to do it. This is a real mental sickness on the part of some whites. It's a perverse narcissism: "It's always our fault" is another way of saying "It's always about us."

Maybe the black guy was just a shit. Ever think of that?

Affirmative action is like wearing lifts. That's why asking "but are some blacks in their position purely on merit" makes little sense. They all get the boost, and the higher up you go on the cognitive scale, the bigger the boost has to be to matter. (Result: daffy posts by Half Sigma that Barack Obama is maybe a genius--in reality he's probably no smarter than Sarah Palin.)

They all get the boost. The guy who works at a beer distributor and seems like a good worker and is also black will always have that affirmative action bonus--he makes me and my company look good just by doing work at a level that would be unremarkable for anyone else. I can point to him with pride as an example of how virtuous I am, and how we can all live together in harmony (until he shoots me in the face).

Or take Truth's posts here. The fact that he can string sentences together already elevates him far above the ghetto dweller who can barely talk without drooling. He's mostly just hustling, but a liberal would probably spot him a good 30 IQ points for his passive aggressive race talk (hopefully he doesn't own a gun).

"So I'm guessing that, in his final job, with the beer distributorship, either the union or the distributorships management was trying to force a black with an IQ of about 90 into a job which had an IQ requirement about a standard deviation higher than that."

Isn't this true for blacks in general? No matter what simple procedural job you give them, before long they begin to act overwhelmed. Their coping strategies include staying out of sight to avoid being assigned new tasks, setting up a defensive force field of rudeness and refusal to accept criticism, and just pestering white colleagues with questions until they do the work for them.

The work place inevitably feeds blacks' sense of whites being unfair to them: blacks have to work sooo hard (at simple jobs), yet they get paid sooo little. It never occurs to them that in most private sector occupations salary is commensurate with real productivity. This is why Mexicans clean up in the unskilled job market. They have a 5 point edge in IQ, they don't show 'tude, and they work steadily.

However, blacks do well in corporate team jobs. They make good social facilitators and entertainers. But don't bother going to them with your advanced question about Java or Excel.

Truth be told, Thornton was probably fired from the chemical company not for lack of productivity but for creating a situation where he was decreasing the productivity of those around him.

Good-old boy southerners with confederate flag bumper-stickers know this. Thornton was just making it up, or he was a raving paranoid.

I am sure blacks wonder what whites think about them behind closed doors just like whites do about blacks.

snook said...

Without other info, I'm guessing for an individual black in a selective occupation, there's a 1:3 chance they're there on merit.

Obviously it depends on the trade/occupation. Blacks are naturally good at physical things which require endurance and repetition and have a higher danger level. Their athletic skills are known. I could believe a black cop would be OK on merit, in the old South Africa there were many black cops and back then AA was definitely NOT a gov. policy. In addition I met a few black soldiers I would not have enjoyed fighting against. Granted they were under a white command structure which brought out the best in them. I also think blacks do well in some difficult construction, mining and infrastructure jobs.

Obviously the hollywood meme of protraying them as astronauts, rocket sientists, doctors or bioligists is BS. Also many of the blacks in admin jobs are slow. I think once they own a place that dysfunction of the hood takes over and ties the willing ones down. Things involving accuracy or high discipline are also no their forte. And they generally seem to avoid technical engineering type jobs.

Actually, I suspect it is probably closer to #9 on that list... if we are being fair.

Yes, most people probably do think rapists and terrorists are worse than racists.

Ah, but encounters with the first two are (fortunately) rare. On the other hand, as Steve has pointed out many times, "evidence" for racism abounds if you look for it and hope to find it. Furthermore, whereas one must rape to be a rapist and blow something up to be a terrorist, one only has to think to be a racist.

Therefore, "racism" being "common," "racist" is the favorite epithet not only of lefties but of many otherwise nice, ordinary white people - especially young women, for some reason.

I was all set to type up my own "Omar story," but the shorthand alone spares me the effort. Suffice to say, I believe any racism was all in this guy's head.

Thornton was hired as a driver with Chemstation New England, a chemical company in South Windsor. But he was let go after 10 months, unable to master the mechanical skills involved handling the equipment, said Bruce LeFebvre, the owner.

Okay, so not too bright. Though that shouldn't be an absolute bar to holding down a job. Unfortunately, all the virtues needed for a less intelligent man to get ahead in the work place have been denigrated in schools and pop culture. Hard work, cooperation with peers, ability to take direction from management, persistence, punctuality and attendance, have all been torn down in their own right. And racial grievance-mongering makes it even worse.

Thornton changed jobs a few times because he was not getting raises, Brocuglio said.

I mean, there's part of the problem right there. If he'd kept the first job he wasn't fired from, and worked hard to the best of his ability he'd have gotten some kind of raise eventually. But when you tell a man he's facing hidden structural racism built into a society it gives him an easy out in his own mind.

Anonymous said...White guilt is simply a euphemism for the phenomenon of status posturing. It is through this social game white people can feel superior over other white people who "don't feel guilty", who therefore have unrealised genocidal Nazi potential and cannot be trusted with money or power.

While this theory has validity, it doesn't explain WHY defaming your own race in preference to others has become the standard for status among SWPL. Is there any other race that does this?

Harold said...

The Reds had found that the easiest way to subdue any group of people was to give its members a guilt complex and then to lead them on from self-denunciation to self-betrayal. All that was required to put this across was a sufficiently heartless exploitation of the essential goodness in people, so that they would seek self-sacrifice to compensate for their feelings of guilt. The self-sacrifice obviously made available to them in this inside-out environment is some form of treason.

Throne of Blood said...

The main issue of this tragedy shouldn't be 'were white folks racist?' but what is to be done about black criminality--not just among black criminals but among black workers who steal more than any other kind of worker--, black aggressiveness, black use of threats/intimidation/fear/thuggery to silence criticism of their rotten work ethic and transgressions, etc. We know many teachers are afraid of disciplining black students who are big, strong, and routinely beat up teachers--even male teachers. Some of these rotten black kids later become workers and act the same way. They are half-workers/half-criminals. Stealing from their jobs is often their main thing. Also, many black males make lousy workers because they grew up thinking of themselves as millionaire rappers, athletes, and badass dudes. They wanna be like Muhammad Ali, Kanye West, or whatever, but they have no skills for anything but menial jobs. So, they get pissed and think they should steal to get something extra(like the angry dude in CAR WASH). On top of that, the NAACP and white/Jewish liberals have been telling blacks that they are always OWED stuff.

Because blacks are different from other races--more troublesome, bothersome, aggressive, stronger, dangerous, etc--, this was indeed a racist issue. White workers were good decent racists--people who were honest about race and racial differences--, and they understood that merely calling Omar on his theft would throw him into angry fits. So, they decided to gather SOLID EVIDENCE to prove to Omar that they were not targeting him simply because his skin is black but because he acts like so many black thugs and idiots--that he steals and deals on the side. Omar just couldn't handle this racist truth.

Ask yourself, why are black communities so down-and-out, so defunct? It's because there are too many people like Omar who steal on the job. We tend to think it's street crime that is destroying black communities but that's only half the answer. The other answer is black workers steal on the job more than any other race does--yes, even more than Italian Americans in Goodfellas. Blacks act this way for four reasons. (1) They are naturally more aggressive and transgressive (2) They are stronger and know that non-black fellow workers or bosses will be afraid to complain or fire them. Also, non-blacks are afraid of getting beat up or being accused of 'racism' if they were to raise alarms about black theft on the job. (3) fellow black workers look the other way and also steal themselves (4) White/Jewish liberals and black leaders have been telling blacks that blacks are OWED reparations for slavery, and this serves as justification for black stealing.

Throne of Blood said...

And so, too many blacks steal and cause trouble on the job. As a result, what happens? Few people want to invest in the black community. What's the point of setting up factories or businesses in the black communities when not only black rioters and criminals but black employees steal and steal and steal?

BUT, we can't discuss this problem of black theft because it would be 'racist'!!!!!!!!! Yet these same liberals and blacks--the very people who scream 'racism' and silence debate--demand that we need have a HONEST DISCUSSION of racial problems to figure out why we continue to have a major black underclass problems. It's like telling a doctor that he must treat a cancer patient without ever saying or admitting that the patient has cancer.

What we need is honest racism to explain WHY blacks are INDEED more prone to stealing, cheating, and lying. And it's the same in Africa and Haiti and all the other black-run places. Blacks don't run businesses; they run them into the ground. Of course, not all blacks are like this, but enough of them are to make it very risky to invest in the black community.

What kind of country are we living in that we cannot discuss real problems in a real way? We are constantly told that something has to be done for the black community and to help blacks. But nothing can be done until we get to the root of the problem. And only racism, genuine racism as in race + ism = belief in races and racial differences, will help us understand why we have a major racial problem with blacks. They are emotionally more aggressive, physically stronger, intellectually less intelligent(and thus more childlike and tantrum-prone), and socially-politically-and-culturally-spoiled by white liberals and Jews who both patronize and fear them.

Though liberal media coverage of this story has been lousy, I'm glad it happened cuz it appears the liberals only dug themselves deeper into a hole. Like so many 'racism' hoaxes on colleges and workplaces by disgruntled blacks, the more we find out about this story, the more it appears Omar is just another pathological black liar--as well as a murderer. It's just like the Jayson Blair controversy at NY TIMES. Recall that Blair had been given all the favors, forgiven all his trespasses, and promoted ahead of others. But all he did was lie and cheat. And when he was finally caught, what did he do? He screamed 'racism'. And when that no longer worked, he played the 'victim' of mental illness. We see the same pattern over and over. Black guy does wrong. He gets caught. He screams 'racism'. If it backfires, he goes for the insanity plea, and liberal media cover up for him. And the final grand narrative will be, 'the black went insane because white man made him so'. Around and around in circles we go.

By the way, if any living entity should be held accountable, shouldn't it be the liberal Jewish beer company for hiring a psycho who endangered the lives of other workers? Suppose a conservative German-American owned beer factory hired a neo-nazi nut who saw conspiracies everywhere and shot dead Jewish workers upon being accused of stealing beer? Wouldn't that company have been sued up its ass for having hired a dangerous psycho who killed innocents?

Steve, while status seeking may explain the majority of cases of white guilt today, it doesn't explain why it came to be seen as so virtuous in the first place.

As Auster points out, their have to be some ethnically sound true believers for it to have gained any kind of social value.

Countries with high levels of white self-loathing and SWPL identification like Sweden also have high levels of personal guilt, as reflected in high levels of honesty and low crime rates (at least among their native populations)

As much as I hate to say it, there are plenty of white Obama worshipers in Ottowa, Wellington or Stockholm who would happily return a wallet left on the ground.

The white guilt you folks are lamenting about can probably be traced to the damage done by the Frankfurt School. Here is a write-up by historian William Lind which presents a nice summary of what has occurred over the last 80 years.

Excerpt:

To serve its purpose of "negating" Western culture, the Frankfurt School developed a powerful tool it called "Critical Theory." What was the theory? The theory was to criticize. By subjecting every traditional institution, starting with family, to endless, unremitting criticism (the Frankfurt School was careful never to define what it was for, only what it was against), it hoped to bring them down. Critical Theory is the basis for the "studies" departments that now inhabit American colleges and universities. Not surprisingly, those departments are the home turf of academic political correctness.

The Frankfurt School sought to define traditional attitudes on every issue as "prejudice" in a series of academic studies that culminated in Adorno's immensely influential book, "The Authoritarian Personality," published in 1950. They invented a bogus "F-scale" that purported to tie traditional beliefs on sexual morals, relations between men and women and questions touching on the family to support for fascism. Today, the favorite term the politically correct use for anyone who disagrees with them is "fascist."

kopseer said...

Gc,
You make some valid points. I think Christianity has a lot to do with it. Certainly the likes of the Frankfurt School and modern PC-enforcers wouldn't stand a chance without the ingrained cultural influence of Christianity in the West. That’s why you don't have so many Jews and PC-conmen hammering down Chinese, Japanese, black or Arab societies. It's only in the West with its old tradition of Church and state where they are so active. Not even in Israel do they bother encouraging love of say Palestinians and cry about their lot.

PC manipulates the conscience of western man, which has been sensitized by Christianity. But PC does not have a valid point in the biblical sense. The purpose of guilt is to lead man to salvation, not to drum him down and make him subservient to the $PLC, NAACP or AIPAC. And the sins the Bible describers are the personal variety and man’s relation to God, not whether he favors quotas or immigration or not. Being PC doesn’t get you 1 inch closer to heaven.

Traditional Christianity also did not have these hang-ups with race, I'd say it was fairly realistic about race and mostly sought pragmatic local solutions. Most of the ideologies concerning race, be they Nazism, PC-ism, or a more hidden version of racism such as Zionism, are ideologies which have nothing in common with Christianity.

Truth:

Sentences tell us something, not everything about the public's judgments of morality. Luckily, public polling is not the process by which guidelines are written. The voting process leaves quite a few of the public at their homes, watching the NBA and soap operas and so their moral judgments don't come near being translated into law. But moreover, legislators don't set guidelines simply on the basis of what their voters think is wrong. They consider the danger that the prohibited action poses or its other effects on society and the punishment necessary to stop it, as well as constitutional protections that would keep the laws from taking effect. Therefore, certain activities which are not that morally reprehensible - possessing pot - carries a punishment while marching down the street in Nazi uniform does not. Would you really argue that the public thinks that the former is more morally reprehensible than the latter sport?

About acceptability, if this blog is what you can point to, as opposed to movies, tv shows etc, I don't know why you bothered trying to make a point. Racism is NOT to be sympathized with, that's a clear PC mandate.

Jews can't pass for Chinese, Japanese, or black. They can pass as Arab, but Jews and Arabs see each other coming a mile away (same basic behavioral genetics, lots of similar cultural traits). Basically, Jews have an "in" with whites they don't have with non-caucasoid groups, and this is probably a better explanation than simply comparing mental or cultural traits between whites and people without this "in."
