Stay Out Of Their NeighborhoodsPopular conservative columnist and National Review writer John Derbyshire topped all of his previous racist screeds (and sexist rants) today by posting a long breakdown of all of the important lessons he has taught his children about race and hes outdone his own racism with this one.
Derbyshire wrote the column in the third person, as a list of lessons to his kids about race. The lessons are his response to the talk that black parents have with their children conversations they are forced to have because of real, persistent racism. After spending a few minutes bemoaning that he cant say a racist slur (What you must call the N word is used freely among blacks but is taboo to nonblacks) and opining on the hostility he believes all black people feel toward white people like himself (though he says he isnt white before calling himself white several times), he cuts to the heart of his lessons for his children:
(10a) Avoid concentrations of blacks not all known to you personally.
(10b) Stay out of heavily black neighborhoods.
(10c) If planning a trip to a beach or amusement park at some date, find out whether it is likely to be swamped with blacks on that date (neglect of that one got me the closest I have ever gotten to death by gunshot).
(10d) Do not attend events likely to draw a lot of blacks.
(10e) If you are at some public event at which the number of blacks suddenly swells, leave as quickly as possible.
(10f) Do not settle in a district or municipality run by black politicians.
(10g) Before voting for a black politician, scrutinize his/her character much more carefully than you would a white.
(10h) Do not act the Good Samaritan to blacks in apparent distress, e.g., on the highway.
(10i) If accosted by a strange black in the street, smile and say something polite but keep moving.
(11) The mean intelligence of blacks is much lower than for whites. The least intelligent ten percent of whites have IQs below 81; forty percent of blacks have IQs that low. Only one black in six is more intelligent than the average white; five whites out of six are more intelligent than the average black. These differences show in every test of general cognitive ability that anyone, of any race or nationality, has yet been able to devise. They are reflected in countless everyday situations. Life is an IQ test.

(36,437 posts)This incident is really bringing them all out into the light. How any decent person could again associate with this out-and-put racist is a mystery. Will the National Review have some comment on this? Will the mainstream media pick it up? This is the flagship magazine of conservative thought in America. This is what they publish? A racist screed that one could just as easily find in the worst DIY 'zines of the neo-Nazi movement? This is fucking shocking beyond measure.

Scrutinize the character of black politicians harder than white politicians?
No, you couldn't have published that not so long ago without massive headaches.
Something weird is going on.
