That’s a wsj article behind a paywall. Does the writer cite grade discrimination, sexual harassment, and sex and race hoaxes against normal White men as factors in their avoidance of college?

Back in 1997, I wrote what would long be the state-of-the-art article on the politicization of college grading, which the top neocon journal, Academic Questions, published under the pseudonym, Robert Berman, in its Spring 1998 issue (behind an exorbitant paywall, last I checked). (“Making Up the Grade: Notes from the Antiversity.”)

AQ’s editor, Sandy Pinsker, put me under tremendous pressure to use my real name, so that I could commit professional suicide. I successfully resisted him, and when I ran into him at the 1999 National Association of Scholars national conference in Chicago, he stared daggers at me. Yeah, academic “conservatives” are just as vicious and hypocritical as non-academic gopers. No wonder “conservatism” has been so successful in America.

White feminists in English and other departments would engage in massive grade inflation on behalf of blacks and hispanics (especially coeds), while committing grade discrimination against White men.

To a Mets fan who followed that pennant race closely, your statement seemed a bit off.

So I checked. Vic Davillio appeared in 99 box scores for the '71 Pirates. His most frequent designation was "pinch hitter." He amassed only 312 plate appearances. He didn't walk a lot (11), but he didn't strike out that much either (31).

As for the suggestion that he increased Pittsburgh's win total by eight: the nerds who calculate a player's offensive and defensive Wins Above Replacement player value (WAR), give him a total, rounded to the nearest whole integer, of zero. So I must respectfully disagree.

They were rough and tumble, working class, over six foot tall White kids who actually lived in LA but were recruited to attend BHH.

Anyway, going back to my initial comment, although it was clear that although a fair number of my neighbors disapproved of the behavior of others in the community - ie, frequent out of wedlock pregnancies, lack of effort to try to obtain employment, criminal activity, etc. - there is a complete aversion to making an effort to police others' behavior either directly or through cultural pressure. It's this bizarre passivity about the in-your-face dysfunction that has kneecapped even moderate upward mobility for a huge swathe of black America.

I agree.

It's Blacks Behaving Badly plus a massive influx of both legal and illegal Asians to this country.

Asians are more appealing targets because they're largely docile and, because of their subservience to big government, less likely to carry a weapon for self-defense. If a Black thinks about attacking a Hispanic, they may momentarily consider the backlash from a close-knit community with possible ties to Hispanic gangs. If a Black thinks about attacking a White, unless they're sucker punching (as they so often do), they may momentarily consider the White is carrying a gun.

By the way, I am surrounded by Asians in my big American suburb and they are the most fearful of COVID and wear masks everywhere including in the car by themselves. I theorize it's because they're naturally deferential to authority and believe everything someone like Fauci says.

I'll go ahead and do it too. From what my dad told me my mom had a reputation for being promiscuous in high school. This was in the wholesome late 1950s. It wouldn't shock me if more teens were having sex then than now. Teen birth rates were higher back then but that doesn't tell the whole story. I think they had more sex simply because there was a teen culture back then. Lot's of kids hanging out with each other. That died after 9/11 when helicopter parenting became the norm. Teens socialize less (irl instead they socialize on things like snapchat now) so there are less opportunies for them to have sex.

When I was a kid in the mid 70s my mom went to real estate school. She would come home late and my dad was absolutely convinced she was cheating on him, although there was never any evidence. They soon divorced.

After my parents divorced my mom became a super sl*t. She was dating several different guys at once. Several nights a week she would go out to bars and discos and bring home one night stands. One night I woke up late and walked to the kitchen to get a glass of milk. I didnt realize my mom was home and I almost stepped on her and some random dude on the floor having sex. I could give you story after story.

My impression is this period mid 70s-mid 80s might have had the most casual sex of any time period. The sexual revolution was in full force but hypergamy didnt kick in all the way so it seemed easy for anyone to get laid. Around 1986 the media started saying (incorrectly) that heterosexuals can easily get AIDS too and that seemed to usher in a more conservative period sexually.

I look back now and think wow my mom was really sleeping around a lot. At the time though it seemed in the realm of normalcy to me, partly because it was the environment I was raised in but also because of the time period.

One thing I'll say for my mom though is despite raising me as a divorced mother she never took a penny of public assistance. She worked a lot and also received child support from my dad. As someone mentioned earlier back then it was unusual for white people to collect welfare. I don't recall my mom ever saying anything like she had too much pride to collect welfare (even if she would have qualified for some, such as school lunches.) It was more of a matter of fact type thing, it never even crossed most white people's minds back then.

And there is no way to square that circle.

So (according to the SCOTUS) when you violate both a Federal law and a State law you are not being tried twice for the "same offense" - you are being tried for two separate offenses. Just like, if you kill a DEA agent in Mexico and are tried in Mexico and then picked up by the US, it's not double jeopardy because the SAME sovereign is not trying you twice.

Contrary to what Steve says, the test cases have not involved unpopular classes of defendants like cops. In the most recent S. Ct. decision, Terance Gamble was pulled over by a cop for driving while black driving with a damaged headlight. Smelling marijuana, the officer searched Gamble’s car, where he found a loaded 9-mm handgun. Since Gamble had previously been convicted of second-degree robbery, his possession of the handgun violated an Alabama law providing that violent felons could not own guns . Federal prosecutors indicted him for the same instance of possession under a similar federal law. The Court ruled 7-2 that this was OK. Ginsburg and Gorsuch dissented. So you can see that the Court did not split on ideological lines nor was this a close decision.

That being said, this case was decided in 2019. Maybe in the era of Floyd people would look at this case differently. Back in those ancient times (2019) no one had any sympathy for armed black felons.

As you can see just a few years ago, Mississippi had a lower than average violent crime rate. It's homicide rate was 8.2. Lower than Alaska, Missouri, Nevada, Arkansas, Alabama, Maryland

https://www.wlbt.com/2020/10/20/analysis-mississippis-homicide-rate-ranks-highest-nation/

As of 2020 the city is the center of the most murderous metropolitan area over 100,000 in America.
From 2000-2010 the city averaged 25 per 100,000 it is now around 80 per 100,000 as of 2020.

The Article is right in that White Southerners have always been more violent than their Northern counterparts, in fact the rate is estimated to be 3 times as high. The data is there but it's hidden by black homicide statistics. When it mentions 1800-1860. Slaves were largely excluded in homicide totals, so it's basically comparing the white rates to each other. Unless you have some historical reason to believe in rampant black criminality during that time. West Virginia is just one example of it, routinely being 3-4 times higher than equally White Maine.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2015/01/14/map-the-black-homicide-rate-in-almost-every-state/

As you can see this is in 2012, just a year or two into the homicide increase of Jackson. If this data was analyzing a few years earlier Mississippi would likely be below 10 per 100,000, and would be approaching 7 per 100,000 if Jackson was taken out completely in that year.

So no your hypothesis isn't true. The areas with the largest homicides at best is the areas with the most Urban Black population. As a result the Midwest with it's dichotomy of Black Cities, and much Whiter suburbs than most of America is far ahead in Black Homicide rates. Missouri in particular has the misfortune of having both Saint Louis and Kansas City in it's state while having Midwest demographics of relatively small rural and suburban black populations. As a result it's homicide rate is through the roof. It's long been known that the Midwest is the worst region for Black people.

Maryland has the misfortune of having a million middle class Blacks in Charles, Prince George's, Howard, Montgomery, Anne Arundel and Baltimore counties get overshadowed by the half-a-million black people in Baltimore, and their high homicide rate.

Louisiana folks just have a higher homicide rate than other Southerners it's unique to them, as the article points out. So you didn't answer the question in the article.

You also didn't answer why White Southerners have higher homicide rates than the rest of white America, but Black Southerners seem to have lower rates than the rest of Black America.

This is a long link but it shows that the South is simply more violent than the North, the idea that Maine is representative of American homicide rates is a falsehood. If the South was as white As Maine, America would still be 2-3 times as violent as most of Europe.
