RSSThe term was “awakened”, and it applied to race realism, understanding globalism, innate male/female differences, HBD, and a general understanding of how the world really works compared to what we were told as children before the term Red Pill was common.

Conspiracy types have suggested for years that Epstein acted as a front man funded by wealthy patrons and partners to act as an agent running honeypot operations, and his persona as Wall Street genius was his cover. During the raid that resulted in his previous arrest and conviction, video surveillance cameras were discovered in the guest rooms.
And yet here are Western men, with yet another big youtube channel, micro-analysing “alpha male eye contact” and how to wear a three piece suit!
This obsession usually goes in tandem with being an unconvincing internet tough guy.
Breaking Bad seemed like a nihilistic response the screw-job heirloom America received and weren’t supposed to either notice or get irritated over, just tolerate quietly.
The entire OJ saga was a wake up call to some who had bought into the “content of our character” canard that had been drilled into their heads for a couple decades, but it also confirmed what a lot of us already suspected. A lot of White dudes figured Nicole Brown Simpson paid the toll and had a limited expectation that the assembled mostly black, female jury would convict regardless of how solid the evidence was against the Juice. It was payback time.
This should be a wake up call to the sanctimonious SWPL of the GTA (especially those in the Annex) who blather on about Toronto being a great city because of it’s multiculturalism, but it wont. I’d bet the majority of the violent offenders were from Scarboro.
*Scarborough, First of all. No, they were blacks, and they were prolly from Regent Park or JanenFinch, or some other project hellhole. According to the TPS crime maps and repeated statements given by police service officials, Scarborough is safer than central Toronto with all it's negroid, and its crime rates are relatively comparable to that of Etobicoke when they are contrasted with each other. Scarborough is safer than central toronto, that's a FACT
I’d bet the majority of the violent offenders were from Scarboro.
Will’s dissatisfied with his chances of ever regaining relevance so he made a calculated decision to leave as much scorched earth in his wake as possible as he makes his exit.

It was part of an intelligence program of cultural debasement that also included the importation of Frankfurt School and placed them in positions of authority and visibility throughout the US. Patrons of the arts deathly frightened at the prospect of appearing to have unsophisticated tastes helped prop the whole thing up.
These statistics showing violent black criminality are staggering. This helps explain why the MSM are so dedicated to soft-pedaling and obfuscating the murders, shootings, and rapes committed by African Americans and instead focus on mass shootings involving a few Whites (and increasing numbers of Hispanics and Arabs) instead of the day-to-day, free floating violence that is the norm in BRA metro areas.

If the last three failed Baltimore mayors were white men and that were mentioned by a black woman, would the reaction have been the same?

Out of 99 homicides, and nine White victims, there was only one White suspect. The non-white on white crime rate is not statistically insignificant.

Ever since her coronation by the entertainment media complex, everybody is expected to kiss the ring. Pop music in general is targeted at the prepubescent, blacks, chicks, and gays, so a white male teenager disliking all things Beyonce would be the expected norm.
Modern DSLR/mirror-less photo and video camera cameras do have trouble with darker skin tones, but some (Canon) are better than others. When taking a shot with multiple people with a wide variety of light to dark skin tones, exposure and white balance favors one complexion over another. By balancing somewhere in the middle (tan Mediterranean), there will usually be enough information to provide for post optimization for all parties when editing, especially if shot with a 15+ megapixel camera with high dynamic range in RAW.

Back in the 1990s, Bill Gates got to be the richest man in the world by hiring smart workers
I learned this principle while working at a hotel hosting a Microsoft conference in the Summer of 1992. In era where the rest of corporate America was in a race to the bottom, the guy who was popping up on worlds wealthiest lists was paying his employees very well and treating them to an all-expenses paid, week-long bender in the Big Easy. They also happened to be most pleasant group we dealt with that year.

This is akin to a Westerner whose family immigrated to Taiwan and who campaigns against the explicit “yellowness” on display at the National Palace Museum. Just another grievance monger earnestly out-Onioning The Onion.
Yeah…but at least where I live this is just codifying what’s already the de facto standard. Negroes aren’t prosecuted most of the time anyway.
The open secret in the criminal justice system is that if even half of negro criminals were prosecuted the entire system would grind to a halt, crash and burn. It’s simply not designed for the numbers, and we don’t have the manpower.
Dallas County will move away from “criminalizing poverty,” District Attorney John Creuzot said.
Translated: Dallas (and most “urban” jurisdictions) will move away from criminalizing crime. Yet another facet of Black Privilege. Laws are for White People.
There's a solution for that, too: use the process as the punishment. Raise bail requirements, make huge tent camps to house the pre-trial detainees, let them plead out if they cop to a felony.

Welfare, food stamps, free housing, Medicaid, Pre-K, Midnight Basketball, and bike/school supply daypack drives are no longer enough. We must now allow them to steal $749.99 worth of other peoples stuff without fear of prosecution. This is the sort of ridiculousness that makes even NIMBY leftists consider the lawless future this policy represents.
Expect serious overhaul of Texas current Second Amendment-friendly gun laws in Texas a few years after it goes solidly Blue (see Colorado), so law-abiding Texans should not expect to be able to protect themselves with circa 2019 street legal weaponry and CCW permits as it inches closer towards Road Warrior mode.
Cat ladies glued to their big screens during Law & Order marathons will tell you that White hedge fund managers and Fortune 100 CEOs are the ones responsible for all the carnage in NYC.
“Racist” has lost its sting.
That happened sometime during the 2008 US Presidential Election.
For prosecutors and judges, ignoring federal gun statutes is rampant in Memphis courts. Shootings are prosecuted as an aggravated assault instead of attempted murder while federal gun statutes and mandatory minimums that could easily keep criminals locked up for a decade or more are ignored. The same goes for felonies committed with a handgun, ie; a robbery that did not go “wrong.” Gun laws were designed to punish and disarm otherwise law-abiding White gun owners, not keep felonious NAMs off the street.

Remember days of the flash mobs and polar bear hunting? It became so prevalent that Matt Drudge agreed to comply with critics by reducing coverage of black mayhem and violence.

BLM and the riots were the cherries on top. But it was already too late, and the narrative collapse has been going strong, onwards to the Smollett Hate Hoax.
A prevalent conspiracy theory going around is that the murder of Mr. Hussle was done to keep a woke man from having a positive impact on his community, not just another example of fellas being fellas.
“A 24-year-old man whom the husband of Frances Jane Schultz had previously hired to help bale hay…”
So many of them going around knocking on doors in search of yard work/odd jobs are felons who can’t get a straight job or work off the books to keep the government checks coming. Those who have been able to shield themselves from the undertow too often forget why they separated themselves from it in the first place and let their guard down. All it takes is a minor disagreement before angry NAM’s revert to violence. This murder fits the template for predictable killings that occur around the suburbs and exurbs of Memphis annually.
I used to teach automobile maintenance classes with mostly women in attendance, and the first thing I told them was whenever they have a roadside auto emergency is to pull over far into the shoulder, get away from their vehicle (and out of view of other drivers) and call for help. They should get to either a public place ASAP or hide and wait for police or a tow driver and to take no assistance from other drivers.
This was considered extreme, but it shocked them when I explained how a garden variety scumbag will to go into predator mode when a crime of opportunity presents itself. Recounting a few horrific news stories was all it took to shake them out of the delusion of being empowered modern ladies. Women are being sold a bill of goods about how to conduct themselves in public places, and unfortunately, these lies lead women into very dangerous predicaments with dire results.
“I hope he wins,” Anderson added.

From the little I’ve seen, Keenan Thompson has been one of the most consistently funny cast members on SNL. The more recently hired White dudes tend toward the extremely bland or ultra dorky.

It's such an important issue that it is necessary to lie about it. After all, it is so difficult to find actual examples of those 99.8% of hate crimes which are not hoaxes, so we have to invent them. :)Replies: @MarcB.
What Smollett did was wrong but the big problem isn’t the .2% which are hoaxes, it’s the hate crimes which have risen 20% since Trump took office.
After all, it is so difficult to find actual examples of those 99.8% of hate crimes which are not hoaxes, so we have to invent them.
And they don’t ever try to validate the number of actual white-on-non-white hate crimes, they just throw numbers around like the static “11 million illegal aliens” used since the early 2000s.
It’s not that they were wrong, per se, just that the tone felt like they thought India only existed to be all those things for them.
More mindreading from leftists. This obsession with delving into minutiae is enough for some of their allies to eventually give up on the while GoodWhite thing.
Until, ofcourse, they have the numbers and “vote” to disarm you.
This is really the larger endgame for not only the US, but for the entire Western world.
When I was a kid in the San Fernando Valley, it seemed to get down to 28 F pretty regularly, but lately freezing temperatures are rare.
It could be the result of the City Heat Island effect. Cities and outlying areas in the South Central region now have milder Winters and Falls and longer, hotter Summers after metro areas expanded out into surrounding counties/states with the growth of exurbs. The range of Armadillos was relegated to the Deep South back in the 1980s, but are now a pervasive pest well north of I-20.
Using political office for a cause as ridiculous as this may serve to wake up a few deluded whites. It’s tough to get concerned about the prevalence of a chain store that fills the niche between the convenience and big box store in neighborhoods with limited retail options.
The Smollet case sheds light on the probability that the vast majority of racially motivated crimes taking place in the wake of President Trump’s 2016 election victory were also hoaxes. The MSM constantly refers to them as if there are an avalanche of actual verified incidents yet rarely offers any evidence.
So he was a creepy orbiter who used manipulation and promises of career advancement to bag more than his share? BFD. This could backfire if the press tries to make Adams into another Weinstein. Soy boys would be wise to view this as a cautionary tale and reconsider their political leanings.
Comparing and contrasting the MSM’s handling of this incident to Ryan Lochte’s Rio adventure illustrates the importance of the “Who? Whom?”. The attack was supposed to have taken place in an alley with no cameras. I wonder if that was planned or serendipity that allowed Jussie’s presumption of victimhood to be extended by a few weeks.
To reignite the NeoConservatism as the dominant philosophy in the Republican party once the MAGA train leaves the station. If that doesn’t work they’ll be trotted out by Establishment media as examples of how good conservatives should behave.
Hip Hop circa 1986 was of the NYC variety and about mostly about partying and being the coolest cat on your block, with a few rappers tiptoeing into social commentary, not West Coast gangster. Either her time frame was off or she was clumsily trying to sound like she was cool “back in the day.”
He can harass illegals to make them self-deport.
The weaponization of the Social Security Administration is the first place to start. Multiple illegal aliens use one valid SSI number to gain employment and establish themselves financially. Target them with audits and fine and arrest those who refuse to comply.
However I never understand normal whites echoing the same sentiment. They are, like most naive whites, suicidal at best or masochistic at the worst.
While a few are self-loathing Good Whites willing to suffer for the betterment of the outgroup du jour, most are simply unfortunates whose most basic survival instincts have been socially engineered out of them.

A lot of this resentment has more to with not being a part of the high school A-list rather than living in fear daily of being dumped head first into the hallway garbage can on the way to first period. So many of these whiners have spent decades deluding themselves into thinking that they are funnier, smarter, better looking, and cooler than they really are, and they can’t figure out why they have been so unfairly excluded from the reindeer games.
So their adult lives are spent forging pathways to the current version of the cool kids club while being every bit as nasty and exclusionary as they feel the crowd that ignored them were in the process. I saw this dynamic play out in the underground music scene and various hipster circles, where much of this extended adolescence is a battle for primacy in a smaller pond as compensation for being the low teenager on the totem pole. The PUA scene is another place these demons haunt males well into their thirties who will ceaselessly attempt to bed the grown-up archetype of the pretty secondary school cheerleader long after the popular people have gotten on with their adult lives.
When every reasonable defense of Western culture is deemed white-splaining, people of European descent may eventually stop feeling the need to justify their existence and go straight into racial chauvinism. At that point, we’d at least be on equal footing.
I prefer marketing campaigns be full-on anti-White instead of nominally so. When they are this blatant they provide a wake up that’s akin to cold water on a sleepy face. Even normies saw the fat doofus husband/hot smart wife TV trope as propaganda, and this approach is even more apparently nasty. Today I’m signing up for those razors they sell on right-wing podcasts.
There must have been a lot of investment in grooming Julian Castro for high office because he is being pushed despite lacking any of the qualities typically required to attain it.
I noticed a trend among post-modern leftists that emerged during the Obama era towards behaving in an uppity manner that would have earned WASPs a mocking by the riff-raff in the previous century. Much of the journalistic animus against President Trump went along lines of “right-thinking people would never support this ____, would we?” instead of providing much in the way of reasoned discourse.
A new trope in the Law and Order franchise is the heel-turn for black suspects who initially appear to guilty until a great white defendant emerges to show the viewer just how prejudiced they really are.
New Mexico and West Texas still have sizable populations descended from Spanish settler stock who did not mix with indigenous Mexican populations nor consider them hermanos. Many are visibly phenotypically Western European despite some intermarriage with Navajos. The modern perception of what constitutes Hispanic seems to be influenced by the Chicano movements of the 1970s equating it with brown skin.
End result: Stalin takes half of Europe. The people there live in a gray hell for half a century. Not so good for Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe. Britain caused WWII and placed millions of innocent people into the chains of communist dictatorships.
Bill Clinton’s mentor, Georgetown Professor Carol Quigley, covers this in his book “Tragedy and Hope.” England spent years leading up to WWII actively coercing Germany under the cover of Chamberlain’s weakness and gullibility.
Every previously terrible organization or policy becomes an incontrovertible good once in the hands of the post-modern left.

“There was a chip on my shoulder about wanting to please those who cast me aside. I wasn’t confrontational because I thought, ‘Nobody likes Germans.’ ”
This was matches my impression of West Germans back in the 1980s. The most prevalent looks were the meek-looking hippies in granny specs or the cheesy, feminized Eurotrash. It was if they were actively working very hard to be non-threatening out of collective guilt. The East German men in Saxony remained archetypal Germans.
Those with foresight knew where it all would lead to.
Here is Sam Philips admitting that Sun Records was intentionally used as a vehicle for the negrofication of Whites:

The term privilege was chosen specifically to conflate the connections and career advancement opportunities available to someone from the Bush or Kennedy family with a working-class White guy with the last name O’Neill.
When you mess with the bull, you get the horns. Add this corpse to the pile who have explicitly attacked President Trump and his MAGA policies. The better news that it was no longer considered a worthwhile enough vehicle for Establishment propaganda to be propped by a third party.
Steve’s appeal effectively highlights Stephans’ double standard.
The “blacks invented everything” canard is propaganda that is so profound that it’s likely to trigger those with average intelligence and curiosity to realize that they are being lied to. And if they are being lied to about this, what other information have they just accepted as fact that is false? Cultural leftists consistently overplay their hand.

The same goes for stable, relatively safe middle-class, mixed-race neighborhoods. Home prices are still a bargain due to subpar public schools and the Putnam Effect. While they do present an opportunity for White suburban gentrifiers, the vast majority pay significant premiums for areas with better schools and homogeneity for reasons they’ll only cop to in hushed tones.
Those of us who grew up watching cautionary 1970’s future shock movies featuring dystopic transhumanism should realize we were actually being predictively programmed. That’s why there is hardly any push-back to all of this Dr. Moreau-style insanity. Now that sperm banks are normalized, each nutty step beyond just gets met with a shrug of the shoulders.

In the past Democrats benefited by having Independents and Republicans vote for their entrenched, familiar candidates over a straight R ticket, but the media has so closely tied Trump to Republican congressmen and senators that it will hinder this pattern. President Trump’s popularity is up by 5% over 2016 levels, and the economy has improved tangibly. The media has encouraged a strong Republican and Trump voter turnout by declaring a Democrat takeover a fait compli for the last six months.
Other than a few small cliff bands in South Florida and some random deposits of limestone bedrock, there isn’t a lot of exposed rock in the state. Most of the available rock would be limited to pebbles used in place of mulch or larger landscaping rocks.

It boils down to acting on loyalty to one’s people or siding the usurpers. While there is a general understanding that women possess the inborn survival trait to side with the enemy in an effort to live after their village gets pillaged, among males an unwillingness to defend their land is universally considered cowardly.
Brokaw often used to come up with awkward or odd phrases, but I don't think there was anything infamous about it.

I’d have gotten a kick out of hearing NBC’s favorite Marble Mouth go into salacious Maury Povich era Current Affair territory back then.
This has been building steam ever since the New Left gained primacy within the Democratic coalition in the wake of Bill Clinton’s presidency. It’s just become more explicit than implicit.
I'd argue that our entire system - not just affirmative action - relies on whites not looking out for themselves and trying to "exploits" the various "ambiguities." This country relies on whites acting against their self-interest; otherwise, the whole thing will collapse.
the affirmative action system doesn’t collapse into farce, the way it is doing in Brazil, because white Americans, with Senator Warren as a conspicuous exception, seldom try hard to exploit its ambiguities.
Whites will shrink to such a small portion of the population that even their labors and good citizenship will get overwhelmed by the parasitic majority. (Granted, this can take a long time. Look at South Africa.
The election of President Trump was the clarion call to the Western World to finally start acting in our own interest, even if it meant being called racists. This change in mindset is far more important than whatever he accomplishes while in office. And when the productive decide to no longer share resources with those who despise them yet depend on to provide essential services, the whole thing collapses. The SJW/Antifa mania is the last blast of a dying breed who will eventually realize how bad they’ve been conned and get onboard with the winning side.
So, to be a Good White lady you must use your vote and activism to empower those competing against your husbands and sons. Since 93% of White women in the US still marry within their race, making this explicit could backfire, especially as Whites increasingly view their political interests through a racial lens.
It takes a lot of courage and honesty to go against one’s own deeply ingrained partisan politics and call it like it is.
I noticed this trend in the mid-1990’s as Cultural Leftism transitioned from fringe campus Foucault acolyte to the political class. Trumpsim has given liberals a chance to see the true face leftism, and some are drawing a line in the sand. Policies requiring intellectual contortions to agree with while placing you and your people at a disadvantage have a limited shelf life for any thinking person who has not yet been assimilated or bought off.
