When white policeman Kyle Rittenhouse shot George Floyd and Emmett Till on January 6th, 1619, it was not just the white supremacist murder of two more black men, it was a lynching of *all* black bodies, which built our democracy, but were redlined out of generational home equity.

Within 280 characters, what else can you fit in that Today’s Youth know about American history?
Here’s an updated version to work with:
When white supremacist cop Kyle Rittenhouse crossed a state line to shoot George Floyd and Emmett Till on January 6, 1619, it was yet another lynching of all Black bodies, who built our democracy and invented the lightbulb but were redlined by FDR out of generational home equity.
To paraphrase what singer David Allan Coe told songwriter Steve Goodman after Goodman claimed “You Never Even Called Me By Name” is the perfect country song: It’s not bad, but where is “lived experience,” “emotional labor,” “intersectionality,” “exhaustion,” and “touched my hair”?

Also an interesting article from almost exactly 10 years ago to the day in the NYT. A lot has changed since. Even the vague amorphous illustration has more dept and looks like it could be hand drawn as opposed to modern ‘people of flat’ illustrations that have zero depth and embrace a digital Tumblr-style that is so dull.
https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/29/opinion/sunday/adolescent-girl-hysteria.html
At the time, January 2012 the author couldn’t have imagined the greatest mass hysteria of teenage girls was just beginning and makes no mention of transgenderism since until recently there were just a literal handful of FtMs. (One the best passing examples being the former ‘boyfriend’ of the dominatrix the first Wachowski brother trooned out with and married.)
Whilst wokeness obviously has as it’s precedent much ideology that has become the new moral cosmology for the West and the US in particular over many decades coming from obvious ethnic activists, it seems to me that the particular form it has taken since around 2013 has very much the imprint of hysterical teenage girls who have been acting out through social media, whom they are the power users of, leading to outsized and sudden influence that has been hugely destabilising socially as wokeness keeps moving too fast in directions only certain kinds of teenage girls could understand, alienating everyone else and seemingly having no limit or objectives.
Teenage girls with BPD and the downstream followers who aren’t as cluster B are a key element to understanding what has happened since 2013. Tumblr was a community virtually solely inhabited by them and it became known throughout the internet as a place of sheer madness and purity spirals. And it was the place where many things we take for granted today in terms of wokeness began just with a delay of a few years.
I have thought for a while most young women would be a *lot* healthier if they started everyday by milking the cows, collecting some eggs and cooking breakfast.

Semi off-topic:
A couple of weeks ago, a Philadelphia public housing apartment bldg. which had 26 people stuffed into two apartments, went up in flames when a 5 year old left unattended found a lighter and lit a dry Xmas tree, killing 12-13 people and torching the building.

During the War of 1812, light-skinned negro Dayquan Scott Key was detained by white racist British soldiers simply for walking while being black, and transported him for further questioning offshore to a British frigate, facing an American fort.
His stalwart defiance in the face of drunken racist British officers was absolutely remarkable. Rather than respond in anger, they were surprisingly impressed with his “bold negro disobedience,” and actually invited him to the captain’s table for a mock white dinner, in order to humiliate him for their bemusement by exposing what they’d assumed would be a comical ignorance of white table manners.
Mr. Key, unknown to them, was a sophisticated self-educated saucier, and proceeded to criticize the captain’s chef’s crème brûlée, to the embarrassment of the captain and officers present, and was promptly thrown into the ships brig, it’s barred window facing the American fort that the British proceeded to attack with assorted projectiles, just to demonstrate the Might of the King to, in their bigoted eyes, “a sarcastic, upstart negro requiring a proper British education.”
Mr. Key, a poet and songwriter, who had recently invented a newfangled musical style he called “Wrap,” discovered a strip of animal hide and a sliver of discarded coal in his cell, and proceeded to compose a new wrap song, documenting the chain of events of the malicious and ultimately futile attack on the well prepared fort, rolled the poetic missive into a tightly wound scroll, and distributed it up his ass for safe-keeping.
Out of rounds, dejected and humiliated, the racist white British soldiers resignedly released him, and he quickly made his way back to Philadelphia, with the intent of having his wrap song published in none other than the local newspaper owned by none other than white American patriot and whoremonger Benjamin Franklin!
An excited Benjamin Franklin knew he had an inspired poetic work of significant social and political import, but as he was white, and therefore somewhat racist, he told Key that his white readership wouldn’t accept a negro as a reliable documenter of historic events, and demanded he publish the authors name as FRANCIS Scott Key, or it would not be published. Key reluctantly agreed.
It was very well received, later to become our national anthem, and Key was only given credit reluctantly, and… as a white man.
He, nor his heirs, ever saw a penny of the profits his work has generated for the public coffers to this very day, thanks to a practically Jewish-style of binding contract authored by Franklin which good natured Key had later been tricked into signing.
And now you know the rest… of the story.

Geez. No kidding. It took me a minute to realize that it was a satirical sentence. I honestly wouldn’t have been surprised if it wasn’t!
I seldom have to deal with black people in my business or personal life.
I had a Zoom meeting scheduled recently with an American academic administrator I had never met before.
To my surprise, he was black. My default assumption was that he would be a low intelligence, over-promoted beneficiary of positive discrimination.
He turned out to be a calm person who spoke well on moderately complex matters and gave the impression of thoughtful intelligence. The two of us talked for over an hour, so I had time to get a good look at what he was like, and if he had been a clown, I think he would have given himself away by then.
Sad that based on my observations of the world, the default for me has become the above very negative (but I think realistic) one. Tough luck on decent, intelligent blacks.
Gotta work in the undying black certainty that we want to rape all of them, including the men and the fattest of their women.

Speaking of Canucks, streaming a program from BC and encountered two BC public service announcements (or whatever Canada calls them) in a row: first, some pretentious-sounding "nurse" telling us that "Canada's vaccines are safe for children" and to get any children vaxxed right away; then, a "comical" one where someone gets a visit from the voice of "your common sense" suggesting that "The Canadian govt will never ask you to pay with gift cards" and "Listen to your common sense."
I suppose that the gift card thing is a real telephone scam, but frankly, my "common sense" tells me it's more believable than the idea that children should be vaccinated for a disease 99% don't get and doesn't kill the 1% who do. "Listen to your common sense, you stupid bastards!"

That alone is reason enough for conservatives to talk it up.
But in terms of practicality, i thin the reasonable plan is:
-- Everyone "votes" themselves onto a team--America or Rainbow. (Perhaps other people put forward other options. Libertarian, Black Nationalist, etc.)
-- Everyone is "grandfathered" in in terms of being able to live/work where they are. But they are only a citizen--only have voting rights--on their on team.
-- You no longer have the right to move to the other team's territory. That's the key aspect in terms of "America". We regain the right to have a border and they Rainbowista's can not come in a wreck it.
I think those 3 conditions are sufficient. Then over time people will move and there can be territory swapping. (For example is say Madison even viable--have jobs for all the Rainbowista's there when it can no longer collect taxes on great swathes of Wisconsin?) The result should be some territorial consolidation. Mostly i expect there would be a lot of bubbles popped and a lot of "learning" and as result some political evolution.
But again just talking separation, indicating that we've had enough is the important thing. Perhaps we can recover the workable essentials--the border closed and a return of both individuals rights and a healthy federalism where people again make decisions about how they will live.
It is not realistic to talk about Americans splitting up into various enclaves based on political ideology and respecting the new borders. This is fantasy land.

And Texas is 12% black. The states north of Texas in a column are much less black so the new country would be under 10% black.Replies: @Art Deco, @Bill Jones
Since there are no guns in Canada, they have to go to Mexico to shoot it out.

Better just down a sixer of Molson and duke it out.

Who was the IT guy here who considered it his responsibility to keep his spergy co-workers out of trouble by educating them about this?
Can you fit “domestic terrorist” in there?
A couple of weeks ago, a Philadelphia public housing apartment bldg. which had 26 people stuffed into two apartments, went up in flames when a 5 year old left unattended found a lighter and lit a dry Xmas tree, killing 12-13 people and torching the building.
Anyway, a negro girls dance group, with the euphonious name of "Chocolate Ballerina" , decided to hold a scam, er, sorry, a fundraiser supposed to go to the surviving victims of the fire, as well as the bereaved families of the dead.
The title of the fund drive "Give the Gift of Warmth".

Wouldn’t have Wormth been more appropriate – and more caring too? Also more non-discriminent against lidplers.
That Coe song is a hoot. My mother played it when I was a kid, but I hated country music then and never listened to the words. It’s a funny song.
Of course, if you have nothing to say, cutting won't help.
Also, people, especially journos, discovered you can just reply to yourself endlessly, creating a "chain" (I think; I don't use and never used Twitter) that can accommodate Gibbon's Decline and Fall.Replies: @Nicholas Stix
“Omit needless words!”
I'd argue that black wokeness has become very feminised and is signal boosted by teenage girls very much actually.
There are angry black man groups but they don't seem to be the ones spearheading things on social media. Yeah they burned everything down after Floyd but the mass marches and things were pure MSM and social media fueled. Nobody actually listens to the angry black men on the street anymore, we don't get their vox pops. BLM was founded by women. The two black women who pushed Bernie Sanders off stage were like central casting stereotypes of Tumblr users.
Stuff like this is very much what black race hysteria looks like today.

This kind of weird vague post modernism. Again as social media has grown in importance so too has the style and aesthetics of young women come to grow in importance.Replies: @J.Ross, @James J O'Meara, @Nicholas Stix
Fascinating theory. Thanks.
Do you think a new country forming a column from Texas to North Dakota would be possible? It would have a lot of oil so social security checks don’t have to be reduced after independence and Texas has ports so the new country couldn’t be threatened by blockade (e.g. surrounding states get angry about abortion ban and shut down borders in protest).
And Texas is 12% black. The states north of Texas in a column are much less black so the new country would be under 10% black.
I draw a blank on what sort of scenario could bring it about. Such a territory would have sufficient population and productive capacity to prosper once the political conflicts were sorted out.Replies: @anonymous
I have thought for a while most young women would be a *lot* healthier if they started everyday by milking the cows, collecting some eggs and cooking breakfast.
I think that's true for all of us. We're evolved for the mix of labor--including physical labor--of farm life. But it seems young women are particularly nuts when unmoored.Replies: @Alden
I think the ISteve blog would be greatly improved if the men would focus on something other than what they think teen girls and young women are doing. I doubt you’re a perv Dad. It just seems weird to me. With all these grandchildren and their friends I know a fair number of real live living teen girls.
Why would a middle aged or older man look at teen girls social media? Only reason I’m aware of teen girls is because of grandchildren and their friends. I sure don’t care what girls I don’t know yak about on social media.
Yeah–I feel bad for all three of them.

2. Aversion to cities
3. Desire to keep blacks as a % of population low
4. Texas with its cities and minorities included to get ports
The new country could include Iowa to the east and Idaho, Wyoming and Montana to the west.

Contrary to TV, the US is currently only 13% black. Under 10% is nothing to aspire to.

Unionism was all about keeping the ports. (The people were hardly worth fighting for.) That bombed bigtime.
The America of 30 years ago elected Bill Clinton.
