Steve Sailer is well known. Few "nice guys" dare speak truth to power as he. Another persona non grata we ought to be hailing and supporting, financially and otherwise is John Derbyshire, journalist, mathematician and China expert. His latest piece is perfect and should put any and all race trolls to rest:

Seems a bit racist. IMO, but I can see where he's coming from.

BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front), tl,dr:

Why be a mean bastard and speak ill of the dead without a real good reason?

We live in a world where there are several tiers of hundreds of thousands of commentators saying shit to get attention (get people to read them) and provoke a response). A world of trolls.

As anonymous commenters on a message board or blogs, we are at the bottom. Having your own cable talk show like O'Reilly, Stewart or Maddow is Level One. Ta-Nehesi is near the top, maybe second level.

Derbyshire is maybe a level below Ta-Nehesi. Sailer is up there, but below Derbyshire. Sailer's got a niche, says some true things and some bullshit things.

One way to get attention is trolling about the dead. Most people follow the rule of not speaking ill of the dead, unless it's Elliot Roger or Hitler or somebody like that.

To me, Maya Angelou was just another voice, nothing offensive. To the extent she was writing from her experience as black lady who lived a long life in the USA, point out where she was full of shit. Otherwise, be quiet.

Maybe she wasn't the greatest poet, but not any worse that the scores of ceremonial poets who are pulled up to the podium for events of Serious Significance. I thought her poem for the Clinton inaugural in 1993 was OK in that it gave some sense of transcendence:

A Rock, A River, A Tree
Hosts to species long since departed,
Marked the mastodon,
The dinosaur, who left dried tokens
Of their sojourn here
On our planet floor,
Any broad alarm of their hastening doom
Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages.

But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,
Come, you may stand upon my
Back and face your distant destiny,
But seek no haven in my shadow,
I will give you no hiding place down here.

You, created only a little lower than
The angels, have crouched too long in
The bruising darkness
Have lain too long
Facedown in ignorance,
Your mouths spilling words
Armed for slaughter.

The Rock cries out to us today,
You may stand upon me,
But do not hide your face.

That's because it's the whole HBD thing or race realism or whatever they call themselves now.

I also wouldn't call Derbyshire a mathematician. If he's a mathematician, then William Lane Craig is a physicist.

What's ironic is that black unemployment is higher than it's ever been. Blacks are poorer in America than ever before, and out of wedlock births among Blacks are at all time highs. All this despite non-stop pandering from Whites to Blacks.

This is a perfect example of how socialism creates dysgenics. The reason it didn't happen to whites is because whites had more family wealth and did not need to turn to the welfare programs right away, but even today the dysgenic effects of welfare are easily seen on American white populations as well.

Bankruptcy can't come soon enough.

This is what cries of racism sound like to white people who don't have any white guilt:




You sound like losers.
