From the NYT on the ongoing evolution of the Democrats into the Black Party:
Young Black Democrats, Eager to Lead From the Left, Eye Runs in 2018
By ALEXANDER BURNS MAY 15, 2017
MACON, Ga. — In Georgia, a Democratic lawmaker planning a run for governor promises to confront President Trump and what she calls the “fascists” surrounding him. In Maryland, a former president of the N.A.A.C.P. warns national Democrats not to take African-Americans for granted. The mayor of Tallahassee, Fla., goes even further, declaring that Democrats have failed by fixating on centrist voters.
In states from Massachusetts to Florida, a phalanx of young black leaders in the Democratic Party is striding into some of the biggest elections of 2018, staking early claims on governorships and channeling the outcry of rank-and-file Democrats who favor all-out battle with Mr. Trump and increasingly question his legitimacy as president.
By moving swiftly into the most contentious midterm races, these candidates aim to cement their party in forceful opposition to Mr. Trump and to align it unswervingly with minority communities and young people. …
And, these Democrats say, they are willing to defy the conventional strategic thinking of the national party establishment, which has tended to recruit moderate, white candidates for difficult races and largely failed to help blacks advance to high office under President Barack Obama. …
Rather than pivoting to the center, Ms. Abrams, 43, said Democrats should redouble their focus on registering and energizing blacks, Hispanics and Asian-Americans, as well as young and low-income voters, who often decline to participate in politics.
A big question that doesn’t get asked often is how much do Hispanics and Asian-Americans really want to be led by the Black Left?

O/T, but in today’s NYT there’s an article on Jewish cuisine in Berlin and the writer makes a comment about “when the Soviets liberated the city in 1945.” Is that really the right word? Paris was liberated; I think Berlin was conquered.
I wonder when the typical white progressive will start to realize that blacks are not actually liberals. They are mostly conservative folks who favor them and their kind over outsiders. The entire push of their political existence is to help themselves, not empower others. I believe this realization will cause a real rift in the leftists going forward.
Newsflash: the typical white progressive isn't liberal either.

“A big question that doesn’t get asked often is how much do Hispanics and Asian-Americans really want to be led by the Black Left?”
They have no problem being led by Blacks because they voted in a bloc for Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 and 2012. And they will vote in a bloc for Cory Booker in 2020.
You gotta feel for Asian and Hispanic SJWs. Kissing all that Black ass must get tiring…..
Reminds me of the Labour party in the UK that can rightly be called the “Muslim Party.”

The Democrats are the Black Party. The Democrats are the anti-White Party. The only thing holding the Democrat Party together is a mutually shared hatred of Whites.
The Republicans are the White Party. The Republicans only win when they get substantial portions of the White vote. The only thing holding the Republican Party together is racial solidarity.
The upper middle class and wealthy Whites who support the Democrats do everything in their power to live separate and apart from Blacks and Latinos. Hillary Clinton moved to Chappaqua, New York because it is a town of mostly White people.
The young Black politicians who want to take control of the Democrat Party will find it easy to do so. God bless those Blacks who can resist the big fat Jewish money that goes to compliant and housebroken Blacks. At least these Blacks show some fight and independence. The mixed race politicians who pose as Blacks such as Corey Booker and Kamala Harris have no problem doing the bidding of wealthy Jewish donors. Maybe the young Black politicians will start a brawl with the Jewish donors who are the funding source of the Democrat Party. That could be loads of fun for all.
Forget the crude blacks you see in the Congressional Black Caucus. Many/most of them can be indicted for enriching themselves same way Corrine Brown was. All this takes is an unafraid prosecutor. The new breed will copy Obama and get their education tickets punched at the right places. Hispanics and Asians will vote for them if they look non-thieving.
If true, the GOP was right. Maxine Waters and Charles Rangel are shining examples of graft-covered, low-IQ, nonsensical black politicians who know how to scream racism to get elected and get nothing accomplished.Replies: @Art Deco, @Alden, @Truth, @Henry Bowman
While it does happen here and there, black primary voters (older and better educated) have a pretty good record of not giving in to temptation of nominating a black liberal over an electable white Democrat. Indeed, they stuck with Hillary in polls until only after Obama started winning white state primaries in 2008.
Marginal black general election voters are another group entirely.
I taught at a public high school that was/is predominantly Asian.
I’ll give my answer to the question “how much do Hispanics and Asian-Americans really want to be led by the Black Left”
Older Asians (particularly those born overseas) – not much; younger Asians – lots. Remember -these young people attended American public schools, in neighborhoods carefully chosen by their parents because of the neighborhood’s good schools. Their actual experience with Blacks has been fairly limited and sanitized. They go off to college, generally good colleges, and they encounter Blacks students from a fairly narrow, select segment of the Black population. From kindergarten to college they have been indoctrinated by their instructors to hate whites and idolize Blacks and Hispanics. Young Asians would vote for Black politicians because they perceive it to be the cool and socially just thing to do and they will do it because they have no real experience dealing with Blacks, and they do not live in communities that have been run by Blacks.
Hispanics – I dunno. My guess is they would not want to be led by “the Black Left” as much because they are in competition with blacks for the coveted position of “most favored victim”. However, their youngsters are also targets of public education so they will likely vote for a black candidate over a white one.

de Blasio was born Warren Wilhelm, Jr. His father was German-American. He changed his name for political purposes since having a Germanic surname would be a political liability with any large Jewish constituency.
He is married to a recovered/current lesbian (take your pick). Somehow or other this counts for a plus in Sodom and Gomorrah on the Hudson (aka, New York City).

The Democrats’ black constituency is a two edged sword.
On the one hand, they are beyond loyal to the Democrat Party. They vote Democrat in percentages otherwise only found in dictatorships. Assuming (and we’ll get to that) that whites are equally divided, the black vote will tip the election to the Democrat candidate every time – that’s the good part.
The bad part is that the non-black vote is NOT equally divided and for every black vote that the Democrats pick up with we love BLM type shenanigans, they may lose a white vote. LBJ thought that this trade was a good deal when he backed the ’64 Civil Rights Act, which both cemented the loyalty of blacks to the Democrats AND permanently alienated Southern Whites but I’m not sure it really was a good deal for the party in the long run.
How much influence can 15% of the population with average IQ of 85 have?
They need to wait and get the number of votes they need to manufacture; that only happens after everybody else has reported. Wisconsin and Pennsylvania were especially obvious...Michigan was kind of normal, Detroit precinct had 50 paper ballots and reported 305 votes for the crone...that's why they stopped the recount, it was going to show the extent of fraud in Detroit.
Here’s a question: by what combination of cultural and social-psychological factors does the Black Left have a constituency at all? What exactly have Coleman Young, John Conyers, Ron Dellums, Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Alcee Hastings, &c accomplished in their years in public life? What has a more temperate figure like John Lewis accomplished?
Considering matters from the perspective of the material interests of wage-earning blacks, both Rudolph Giuliani (who had real accomplishments in improving the quality of life in New York’s black neighborhoods) and Trump (who put the immigration issue on the table) should have a constituency among blacks. Hoodlums galore and Central American immigrants represent (respectively) a problem and a challenge for blacks. Giuliani never collected more than 20% of New York’s black electorate and the pollster’s best guess is that Trump garnered 8% of the black vote. Material interests are not motivating for black voters, by and large, at least in the voting booth. What is motivating, and why?
This cynical view does have weaknesses.
-- The black middle class relies on governments for employment, not exclusively but more than other races. It makes sense for them to play for Team Government.
-- You know how non-wealthy whites in decaying areas feel when they hear lectures about "white privilege". Think how non-wealthy blacks feel about being told, "The source of all your problems is that your partially inbred extended family isn't very smart or well behaved, and government shouldn't do anything particular to help you." Respect matters.

I don’t think the mayor of New York, regardless of who holds the job, could get a major party nomination in the current political environment. If at some point the nominating process changes, it is possible, but as long as it starts Iowa- New Hampshire – South Carolina, it is unlikely.
Trump being from New York is an exception because of his celebrity, that he hadn’t previously held office and the working class took a flyer on him based on his rhetoric catering to their concerns. At some point I think the nominating process will change because the left will be complaining Iowa and New Hampshire don’t “look like America.”
More than you would think. They are so big (aka living large) in the American media that gets transported everywhere, that foreigners think America is 35% black. Black is in except in China, even though you and I know the IQ truth. How soon before the homeless black Africans camping out in downtown Paris get lionized too? They are just a few soccer and basketball player-heroes away.
People in other countries who watch Grey's Anatomy will come to the conclusion that Seattle is a majority Black city thanks to Hollywood Blackwashing.
A big question that doesn’t get asked often is how much do Hispanics and Asian-Americans really want to be led by the Black Left?
‘Black left’ really meaning Afro-centrists unlike Obama who was really a Judeo-Homo-Bobo-Centrist despite his bogus ‘street credentials’ as ‘community organizer’?
Yes, that would be problematic. But it might work out IF Afro-centrists understand the game and play it more like Obama than like Sharpton. After all, the Democratic Party is really ruled by Jews, homos, and bobo whites. Blacks are symbolism of the Party due to MLK cult and Civil Rights Narrative. Democratic Party gave up on lots of blacks beginning with Clinton(who fooled a lot of blacks by taking lots of photos with Negroes), but the legacy of MLK made it own the race issue. Likewise, the New Deal Narrative allowed Democrats to hold onto Labor issue even long after they gave up on the working class. I think Labor Narrative was finally lost to the Democrats with Hillary sidelining Sanders and then calling the working class a bunch of ‘deplorables’.
In a way, Dems have been welcoming immigrants to make the party from a black one to an immigrant one. Dems want a party ruled by Jews/Homos and white rich, dominated demographically by immigrants, and in possession of Civil Rights Narrative. Dems want to lock up more blacks or send them out of cities BUT mask this fact with MLK cult. Also, the reason why Jewish/white elites supported BLM was out of fear. They feared it was really directed at them, so they try to own it by egging on blacks to blame it all on ‘racist cops’ when those cops are working to keep cities safe for Jews, homos, and yuppsters.
Now, if blacks get too vocal and if indeed Afro-centrist take control of the Democratic Party, it will be a big fall. The question is which kinds of Negroes will win? The Bobo-centric Buppies like Obama(who use black symbolism but really favor Jews and Homos and yuppsters) or Mofo-centric Nasties. Keith Ellison surely alarmed a lot of Jews, which is why Democrats went with Perez the white Hispanic.
How can Democratic Party carry on with the policy of “You Negroes go back to the back of the bus and sit behind Jews, homos, yuppies, and immigrants, but don’t worry because the portrait of MLK is placed right in front.” Elevate the Negro symbols, lock up the Negro muscles.
Anyway, the Democratic Party vs GOP isn’t really about Diversity vs Whiteness.
It’s about White(and Jewish) Privilege vs the White Middle.
In a homogeneous society, the elites have to represent and serve the masses.
In a diverse nation, the elites can just serve themselves while playing divide and rule among the masses.
Diversity is bad for whites but great for white elites. They no longer need to serve the white masses and only pretend to care about the Diverse masses. So, tell me… what have Jewish/whites elites really done for Palestinians and Palestinian-Americans?
If the US had been diverse during the Great Depression, the rich white elites need not have worried about Revolution. Diverse US would have been too divided to come together to overthrow the capitalist class. But because it was mostly a white nation, the white elites had to make concessions to suffering white working masses.

It didn’t ‘permanently alienate’ Southern whites. The Democratic Party’s advantage among generic Southerners began to erode as early as 1952 (and cracks in the edifice could be detected as early as 1928). It looked for a time in the 1970s as if temporizers like Jimmy Carter and William Waller would keep the South in the Democratic column. It wasn’t until 1994 that Southern congressional delegations were sorted into piles along ideological and programmatic lines (with standard-issue Republicans facing black Democrats and vaguely-liberal white Democrats). It wasn’t until the last 7 years that the congressional delegations of the Southern states and the Southern regions of mixed states were almost bereft of white Democrats. (You see white Democrats from the Philadelphia – NoVa corridor and from peninsular Florida, but these areas are not Southern; there have in recent years been only 6 white Democrats from the South properly understood). The electoral shifts have been too gradual and incorporated components too recent to be attributable to Johnson Administration legislation.
Precisely so. In the 1940s, the Republican share of the Presidential vote in the South- defined as the 11 states that once comprised the Confederacy- ranged approximately from 20% to 26%. In 1952, Eisenhower won 48% of the vote in the South. Moreover, Eisenhower won a larger share of the vote in the South in 1956 than Goldwater won in 1964.
The South's high turnout for Herbert Hoover in 1928 was a consequence of the South's reaction to Al Smith's Roman Catholic religion. His religion sparked fears that he would be a tool of the Vatican. Those fears were were brought over from England, courtesy of Guy Fawkes's failed Gunpowder Plot, three centuries before. My grandmother voted for Hoover in 1928 for that very reason. She later prayed to God to forgive her for having voted for Hoover.

This was due to the ongoing transformation of the South into a more "normal" part of the country following the investments of the New Deal, wartime manufacturing, and the postwar increase in industry and cities and suburbs. This created constituencies who voted Republican in the postwar era (middle managers, small businessmen, local professionals, etc).

No, his maternal-side relations are Italian. I think his father’s were ethnic German, which interests no one outside of Milwaukee. What’s strange is he made a point in his adult years of legally changing his surname to his mother’s maiden name.
Gillibrand won the district only twice. Another Democrat won a special election in 2009 but was voted out of office the following year. Gillibrand had the wind at her back in 2006 and 2008: Democrats were winning all over Upstate as the Bush Administration lost stature; also, the Republican opponent she unseated in 2006 was a skeezy character in a generic sort of way and a known alcoholic to boot. In the intervening years, Upstate has returned to it’s Republican default state and left the Democrats with the Albany and Buffalo seats they’ve held for sixty years or so, along with an ancient Democratic incumbent in Rochester the Republicans seem to never have been able to dislodge for whatever reason.

By ignoring immigration as the chief a cause of wage reduction, social fracturing, atomisation, lowered availability and increase cost of housing, ethnic conflict and general reduced quality of life for the working class?
If you can’t confront neo-liberalism on mass migration you can’t confront neo-liberalism, nothing else cements it in place quite like it. Even worse is going along with all their nonsense decoy issues, police shootings, trans-gendered bathrooms etc.
Mass immigration trashes every professed "progressive" goal other than sticking it to whitey.
But even more simply, you can not have pro-worker politics that is for opening up the labor market to the world. That policy inherently drives down wage levels in any nation not at/near the bottom.

But if California moves its primary towards the beginning of the process, as CA Dem legislators are discussing, an explicitly radical black socialist-to-communist candidate could do quite well in the Dem primary.

Should I get a bet down now on President Winfrey?
Or do these idiots eventually figure it out?
OK. President Winfrey it is.
Her weakness is that her non-cable show went off the air more than few years ago, so younger folks (those under 30) won't know her, remember her, or care about her, and older folks won't feel her massive cultural pull as much. Trump's show, remember, was on the air to the moment he ran for president. He knew the value of a good Q rating when running for office.
And she'll have to get nasty to win, which will turn off a lot of people to her and her brand. (The only time Oprah got nasty was when that lefty-tard pulled a fast one on her and made up his entire drug-addled biography to get on her show.) Remember, Rosie O'Donnell got nasty after being known as "The Queen of Nice" and went from having a huge-hit talk show to being just another howling screecher monkey on The View, and now a deranged lunatic on Twiiter.
The other obvious person running is Tom Hanks. Hanks recently sent the White House Press Corp a new coffee/expresso machine, and said something politically decent regarding Trump. He's clearly angling to get into politics, and he saw how Trump vaulted to the head of the line based on celebrity.
Again, the issue with Hanks is nastiness. His image is modern-day left-wing version of Jimmy Stewart; we haven't seem him play dirty.

The patriarch, who before the Six Day War worked in Jordan's civil service for the West Bank, told his children to get out of the West Bank. From his experience as a civil servant, he informed his children, he concluded that Muslims would always favor promoting a Muslim over a Christian.
A grandson of the patriarch got his BS in the Middle East and his graduate STEM degrees in the US. While he was able to work in his profession in the US, the amount of time he devoted to political activism caused him to lose his jobs. One irony about his anti-Israel activism is that a cousin of his on the other side of his family has given ample testimony about Muslim harassment/violence/robbery against Christians in the West Bank. Which mirrors what the patriarch said over 50 years ago- but which his grandson conveniently forgot while protesting Israel.Replies: @Bro Methylene

Considering matters from the perspective of the material interests of wage-earning blacks, both Rudolph Giuliani (who had real accomplishments in improving the quality of life in New York's black neighborhoods) and Trump (who put the immigration issue on the table) should have a constituency among blacks. Hoodlums galore and Central American immigrants represent (respectively) a problem and a challenge for blacks. Giuliani never collected more than 20% of New York's black electorate and the pollster's best guess is that Trump garnered 8% of the black vote. Material interests are not motivating for black voters, by and large, at least in the voting booth. What is motivating, and why?Replies: @Sammler, @Jack D
Completely wrong. Black support for the Democrat Party is ALL ABOUT material support. Blacks (and they ain’t wrong) perceive the Democrats as the party that supports gib-me-dats for blacks – welfare and food stamps, Section 8, government employment, AA, minority set asides , the whole show. Without Democrat support these programs would never have existed.

Well said, Altai.
Mass immigration trashes every professed “progressive” goal other than sticking it to whitey.
But even more simply, you can not have pro-worker politics that is for opening up the labor market to the world. That policy inherently drives down wage levels in any nation not at/near the bottom.
“Progressive” politics that are for immigration are about something other–have some other agenda–than the good working men and women.
Progressivism = Globalism. Everything else is secondary and this is something that they are very vocal about.
My guess is that while the Democrats will have to be juggling ethnic entitlement continually from here on out–they created “diversity” not just out of ethnic animus but to have a balkanized nation in which the state is supreme and unchallenged; so really not a bug, but a feature–they won’t have to keep the national ticket black every year.
However, i do think that members of their largest constituency–WWW (Whiny white women)–make particularly bad national candidates. The problem is WWWs think they are somehow “oppressed”, but minorities look at them and accurately think WWWs are in fact the most privileged demographic in the nation. Furthermore men–neither minority or white–actually want to listen to their whining, lecturing, hectoring.
While Trump winning was–potentially, if Trump stops cucking–great for the nation, to me there’s no doubt that Hillary would have been a disaster for the Democratic party. She is just so unpleasant. Some of that is just Hillary’s personal unpleasantness. But most is inherent in her i’m-going-to-tell-you-what’s-wrong-with-you church lady demeanor that is characteristic of the type. The Democrats dodged a bullet which could have blown a hole in their party’s image for a generation (worse than Carter).
I assume lots of smart Democrats understand all this. But the problem is when a party is so ideologically straight-jacketed it’s hard to speak freely, openly about such issues.

"Fact is, many of us who are most enraged by Donald Trump’s presidency would prefer it if Hillary Clinton, along with Bill, would go away. The Clintons have been running the Democratic Party like a fief for 25 years. Hillary should not even have run for president in 2016. She was ethically compromised from the get-go. She’s not good at retail politics, she’s a chronic, shameless dissembler and her campaign was grossly incompetent."

At any one time, about 15% of the black population is quite troubled and troublesome; these are the people collecting TANF and collecting disability and unemployment benefits at abnomral levels. You keep mistaking that set for the whole. The vast majority of blacks are ordinary wage earners. Blacks are more likely to work in public administration and postal services than are others, but the difference in propensity translates to about 400,000 extra public sector workers in a black workforce of 18 million.
Impecunious wage earners are eligible for SNAP and Section 8, but people who are notionally eligible commonly do not apply for these programs and housing subsidies are extended (via lottery) only to a modest minority of the notionally eligible. The total expenditure per notionally eligible household on SNAP, housing subsidies, and utility subsidies amounts to about $4,000 per year. Of course, those who apply get the benefits (which are more lucrative than that figure), but on the whole, that class in society (about 30% of the population, some of them elderly) are not livin’ large on these sorts of public subsidies.
As for Medicaid, it’s made use of by every class in society. Among the affluent, it’s tapped when you have eldercare disasters. Among the impecunious, it’s tapped when you’re in small-scale wage employment which lacks insurance benefits. About 19% of all those receiving Medicaid benefits for medical care (as opposed to l/t care) are black, v. 13% of the population as a whole. The excess amounts to about 750,000 individuals in a black populaiton of 40,000,000
Then you have to ask yourself how the benefit stream is likely to differ under a Republican administration. The answer is, ‘only marginally’.

Black people are constantly being urged to lead, even from the shadows. In the movie version of The Circle, one of the three founders of this world-shaking company is (of course) black. At the end of the film, only he can save the day (and the lovely Emma Watson) by completely outmaneuvering the evil and manipulative (and white male, if that wasn’t obvious) other two founders.
Wheezy Coats may have lost his comic book, but the narcissistic need for white filmmakers to push the achievements of fictional blacks higher and higher seems to only get worse. I don’t doubt that there are plenty of white democrats whose perverse wish to shower infinite blessings upon blacks will cause them to support the next Barack.
All of this attention from filmmakers, implying that blacks are always the superior leaders, must be intensely frustrating to blacks.

Pat Buchanan has argued that when the Dems movied for gerrymandering black-majority congressional districts, GOP didn’t oppose it too strongly on the long-term belief that blacks would elect incompetent, corrupt blacks who wouldn’t be that talented at national politicking and who largely be satisfied with graft. As a result, the rest of the area around the district would reliably vote GOP and not only overwhelm the blacks in terms of numbers, but also give blacks an outlet and “black leaders” so they wouldn’t agitate that much.
If true, the GOP was right. Maxine Waters and Charles Rangel are shining examples of graft-covered, low-IQ, nonsensical black politicians who know how to scream racism to get elected and get nothing accomplished.

I’m always surprised no one realises the REAL circle that the the Dems have to square is not looking like insane people to wide swathes of America when they get up there and sound like Hillary post Dallas. Part of Obama’s appeal was that he kept his Alinsky insanity under wraps until AFTER he was elected. Not so much for Kamela Harris and Cory Booker.
Furthermore the alternative media is much, much, much more robust than it was in 2008. If Obama had tried to run in 2016, some patriot would shown up with Reverend Wright tapes with Obama Amening when Wright was talking about 9/11 that would have been to Obama what Hillary collapsing on 9/11 was.

Trump’s show, remember, was on the air to the moment he ran for president. He knew the value of a good Q rating when running for office.
And she’ll have to get nasty to win, which will turn off a lot of people to her and her brand. (The only time Oprah got nasty was when that lefty-tard pulled a fast one on her and made up his entire drug-addled biography to get on her show.) Remember, Rosie O’Donnell got nasty after being known as “The Queen of Nice” and went from having a huge-hit talk show to being just another howling screecher monkey on The View, and now a deranged lunatic on Twiiter.
The other obvious person running is Tom Hanks. Hanks recently sent the White House Press Corp a new coffee/expresso machine, and said something politically decent regarding Trump. He’s clearly angling to get into politics, and he saw how Trump vaulted to the head of the line based on celebrity.

She won her congressional seat the first time when a leak of sealed information that her opponent had a domestic incident with his ex-wife appeared in the press. Irony being that after the election it was disclosed that it was the ex-wife that was beating up on the Congressman not the other way around. A good bit of luck for Gillibrand. She was only elected to that seat one more time.
Now the good Senator has been making a name for herself by opposing everything and everyone Trump proposes.

However there very very difficult to replicate, so even though the journalist conveys a message there will be more of them, it’s highly unlikely. The Democratic party had a hard enough time finding Obama and he wanted to be found.
It’s the massive voter fraud; they didn’t do it in 2016 because they believe their own hype and thought it was in the bag. Urban vote totals came in at the same time suburban and rural; that never happens when the fraud is going down.
They need to wait and get the number of votes they need to manufacture; that only happens after everybody else has reported. Wisconsin and Pennsylvania were especially obvious…Michigan was kind of normal, Detroit precinct had 50 paper ballots and reported 305 votes for the crone…that’s why they stopped the recount, it was going to show the extent of fraud in Detroit.
All of the coalition of the fringes will follow leftist blacks if they feel that is where the action is in scamming whitey. Neither Asians or Hispanics have loyalty to the US. They are only loyal to their tribe and will vote accordingly. The Asians want open borders to increase the numbers of their tribe and to introduce other Asians to the horrors of microaggressions and white privilege. Asians also want to cash in on the SJW bandwagon when the opportunity arrises.
Female Hispanics, and to a lessor degree male Hispanics, want to turn the US into Mexico Norte and increase the social services to which they are addicted. One of the primary missions of Hispanics is to take the social services Americans no longer want to take.

Propensity? Without AA set-asides, just how many black civil servants would there be? Note that among NYC’s firefighters, blacks were a minuscule number of that workforce, because they tended to score fairly low. What Judge Garaufis did seems to have been to insist that NYC adopt the same hiring rules as the Federal government for civil service jobs – hire some percentage of top-scoring blacks to fill a percentage quota regardless of their qualifications rather than just hire the top scoring candidates for office. Without these quotas, the civil service would be mostly non-black.

Yes. Interesting similarities…..
Not difficult at all. In the 1960s and 1970s my father had dealings with a Palestinian Christian family that had a lot of members with postgraduate STEM degrees. There was a reason why they were in the US.
The patriarch, who before the Six Day War worked in Jordan’s civil service for the West Bank, told his children to get out of the West Bank. From his experience as a civil servant, he informed his children, he concluded that Muslims would always favor promoting a Muslim over a Christian.
A grandson of the patriarch got his BS in the Middle East and his graduate STEM degrees in the US. While he was able to work in his profession in the US, the amount of time he devoted to political activism caused him to lose his jobs. One irony about his anti-Israel activism is that a cousin of his on the other side of his family has given ample testimony about Muslim harassment/violence/robbery against Christians in the West Bank. Which mirrors what the patriarch said over 50 years ago- but which his grandson conveniently forgot while protesting Israel.
Blacks are the not so secret weapon of the Democratic Party — aimed at White Women. A dude on Heartiste’s site, not me, noted that the main preoccupation of Upper Class White women and those who aspire to that status is inter-female competition.
White women ADORE Black women for the same reason they adore 4 foot tall obese Mexican women — they feel prettier beside them. Add in that Black men are known for toxic levels of self-esteem (tm Whiskey), no smattering of self-doubt urging them on to greater work efforts, lower IQs on average, and high levels of extraversion and violence and you can explain Europe’s Immavasion by Africans (also Muslims): women invite, men invade.
White women voted by the TRUCKLOAD for Obama. They could not stop writing (particularly when married) sexual fantasies about him in the New York Times. Martin Luther King Jr. apparently cut a wide swath through married White women and Ralph Abernathy alludes to that incident where two of them met in the motel room with King on the last night of his life for a drag-out-fight.
The pill, condom, anonymous urban living, rising female incomes all make White dudes disposable to most Upper and Middle Class White women. They’d vote for Oprah in a heart beat (its why they adored Michelle Obama — even the frumpiest could look good next to her). They’d vote for Cory Booker even or especially if he came out as gay. They don’t seem to like other women much — too much bitchiness, and just won’t turn out (Marie Le Pen’s great weakness is being a woman). But for a Magic Negro of either sex, yes.
Either Cory Booker or Oprah would beat Trump like a drum, even if he built the Wall and pushed up incomes by $20,000 a year. As he’s cucking out predictably to Jared and Ivanka, he’s lucky not to not be impeached by year’s end and replaced summarily by Obama as “regent” or what have you.

Blacks are happy to leave private sector jobs to Hispanics and prefer government jobs instead. So, boosting jobs in the private sector while reducing the size of government is a defeat for blacks. Blacks just don’t do well in the free market.
Again, about 11% of the working population is black, so one’s default expectation would be that about the same share of public employees would be black as well, unless public employment systematically draws on skill sets that were less common or more common among blacks. I suppose there might be literature in industrial psychology on that question.
Ethnic groups, assessed collectively, tend to pool in certain types of employment. People here are obsessed with Jews. Jews tend to be found in employment that incorporates verbalization and negotiation (law, agency, distributional enterprises where price arbitrage is important, electoral politics). Blacks tend to be found in lines of work where personal service and/or carrying things is important (barbers, nurse’s aides, porters, postal workers, and, back in the day, domestic service). I don’t think it’s all that suspicious that 22% of all postal workers are black or 16.7% of those employed in general public administration are black. Without a doubt, preference schemes will explain a fat chunk of that, but that sort of pooling is something you might see without preference schemes. IIRC, about 1/3 of the barbers in the United States are black. I don’t think AA explains that.

Again, there are 18 million employed blacks. Blacks employed in ‘public administration’ number 1.145 million, those in general social assistance (e.g. childcare workers) number about 660,000, about 2.9 million or so work in health care (about evenly split between employment in medical services and employment in long-term care services), about 1.5 million work for educational institutions; about 100,000 work for law firms and counsel’s offices; about 140,000 work for public utilities, about 140,000 are postal workers, about 150,000 work for bus and transit services, about 30,000 work for the railways; and about 30,000 work in data processing, archives, and libraries; and about 230,000 are in the military. That’s about 39% of the black working population, of whom roughly half would be public employees. Some of them benefited from AA, some of them did not. I’m not sure how nurse’s aides qualify as ‘poverty pimps’.

There is no such thing as a ‘neoconservative war’ and the military’s manpower requirements are met satisfactorily with a volunteer force. Military professionals want no draft and the only period of time in American history when conscription was in force absent a general mobilization or a state of affairs resembling a general mobilization was between 1954 and 1973. Even during that period, those enlisting outnumbered conscripts by a considerable margin.
The utility of a volunteer army is not in question. What is in question is the utility of a draft to prevent useless and counterproductive neoconservative wars (and yes, there such things as neoconservative wars!).
When I was in graduate school there was a very left wing Frenchman who was returning to France to perform his required army service. His self-described motivation for return was to keep the French fascists warmongers at bay. At the time I thought his motivation was wrong. As matters turned out, I was the one who was wrong.
I guarantee you if there were a draft in place the prospects for another neoconservative war would be nil or less.

You can explicitly use jobs as welfare, though. Consider WPA – if you’re paying people to pick up trash, for example, when there’s no real market demand for it, you’re essentially giving welfare.
At any rate, there has been the infamous case of true “affirmative action hires” which keeps cropping up. Its essentially, if you want to think about it, a case of corruption. As a large company, you can choose to hire someone with the correct special interest groups even if he doesn’t do any work, so you save yourself a lot of legal trouble and comply with a mandate. In some other countries, you might hire the cousin of a politician for the same purposes.
In both cases, your hiree is doing nothing or very little.

There were 35,000 Christians in Israel in 1950 and there are 165,000 today. Other than occidental expats living in the Gulf emirates, they make up the most affluent Christian population in the region. They’re not living in the middle of an endless civil war, they’re not in danger from Islamist paramilitaries, they’re not in danger from mob violence, and they’ve been neither the targets nor the participants in any sort of sectarian war (all of which puts them in a more agreeable situation than the Christians of Syria, Syria and Iraq, Egypt, and Lebanon). They have full citizenship if they’re native to the territory inside the 1949 armistice lines and can apply for it if they’re native to east Jerusalem. They seem to be doing all right.

He has dated numerous women, stolen the wife of his closest aide, married twice, fathered four kids, and famously dated a teenager while mayor of SF.

That would indeed be the default assumption. And violating it such that blacks were a substantially greater portion of the public employees would be good evidence for the points others are making. Let’s take a look at some numbers:

30.7% of active duty enlisted women are black.
At this rate, the NYT will talk also of the “tragedy” of the deaths of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.
No the blacks are field hands. They get some real benefits out of the deal--government employment, welfare and the right to slap around whitey. That's not nothing. But the core policies--mass immigration (how great is the Mexican influx for blacks?), financialization, the super-state--how great are those for blacks? Exactly.Replies: @Art Deco
It’s the Jews’ party. They contribute most of the money, the contribute virtually all the intellectuals and they set the policy direction.
About 10% of Barack Obama’s quondam cabinet secretaries are Jews. The Los Angeles Times has been for eight years sitting on videotapes of BO’s public tribute to Rashid Khalidi for a reason. Hint: it’s not because BO’s remarks would raise his stature with interested voters (who remain, unlike Unz contributors, fairly congenial toward Israel). As for the Congressional caucus, the only Jewish floor leader on either side of the aisle in the last 75 years has been Charles Schumer, who has had all of 4 months to work his sneaky Jew magic. Jews in the Democratic Party occupying governor’s chairs number somewhere around zero. Be sure to write Strobe Talbott of the Brookings Institution and tell him he doesn’t have any gentile employees.

My numbers were provided the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Women are a modest minority of the soldier population. About 17% of those in uniform are black. The notable segments of the public sector workforce where the black proportion exceeds 17% are postal workers (22%) and transit service employees (30%). People who work in social services and long-term care are disproportionately black, but employment outside of public agencies is common if not modal in that sector.

The utility of a volunteer army is not in question. What is in question is the utility of a draft to prevent useless and counterproductive neoconservative wars (and yes, there such things as neoconservative wars!).
When I was in graduate school there was a very left wing Frenchman who was returning to France to perform his required army service. His self-described motivation for return was to keep the French fascists warmongers at bay. At the time I thought his motivation was wrong. As matters turned out, I was the one who was wrong.
I guarantee you if there were a draft in place the prospects for another neoconservative war would be nil or less.

1. Latinos, Asians and Muslims will never vote for a black guy or even a black backed candidate unless they have to. They voted for Hillary over Obama and for Bernie over Hillary.
2. The first two states are all white. The southern blacks only voted for Obama after the white voters in Iowa gave them permission to do so. IA and NH primary voters will not be doing that for Booker so southern black Dems will vote for the Best Available White. Booker’s performance amongst black primary voters will likely be so bad he won’t even end up as the VP candidate.
The BLS data are industry specific and specific to occupation. As far as I’m aware, their regular data reports are not sorting people into categories of ‘public sector’ and ‘private sector’ per se, though they may issue occasional report on that subject. However, one of their industrial classifications is ‘public administration’, which incorporates about 1/3 of all public sector employees. One subcategory is ‘postal services’, which is public sector by definition. Educational services are predominantly public sector (and not disproportionately black). Industrial subcategories with the largest black segment are as follows:

The Republicans are the White Party. The Republicans only win when they get substantial portions of the White vote. The only thing holding the Republican Party together is racial solidarity.
The upper middle class and wealthy Whites who support the Democrats do everything in their power to live separate and apart from Blacks and Latinos. Hillary Clinton moved to Chappaqua, New York because it is a town of mostly White people.
The young Black politicians who want to take control of the Democrat Party will find it easy to do so. God bless those Blacks who can resist the big fat Jewish money that goes to compliant and housebroken Blacks. At least these Blacks show some fight and independence.

The problem is that the Republicans don’t give a damn about white people.
They just pretend that they do. Their interest is in the tribe and their money and fighting wars for Israel.
The Democrats are at least honest about their hatred for the white goyim.
Too many Asians have bought into the idea that being a liberal Democrat is fashionable.
Waters and Jackson-Lee clearly suffer from profound intellectual deficits, regardless of the burden imposed on them by psychiatric problems. Rangel may be corrupt, but I always found him to be intelligent. And he was right to try to get the draft reinstated. If the Neocons and their stooges had to send their sons and daughters off to fight wars on behalf of Israel, they might be a little more cautious with American blood and treasure..
Sheila Jackson Lee passed the Texas bar exam and Maxine Waters earned a college degree at a time when perhaps 20% of each age cohort did so. Their general intelligence may be lacking next to other members of Congress, but it's adequate for most intents and purposes. They have hellish personality problems.
Sheila Jackson Lee's daughter is a horticulture specialist once employed (and perhaps still employed) supervising the maintenance of decorative plant life at one of the airports around Houston (IIRC). I'd be fascinated to know what she's like, and what she thinks of her mother.
I’m sorry, I did not make that clear. My discussion was of the excess black population on Medicaid derived from participation at rates exceeding the non-black population. The excess is 4,000,000. The total black population on Medicaid is 11.5 million, or about 19% of the population on Medicaid. Somewhat north of 25% of the black population is signed up for Medicaid. Part of that is that an abnormally large share of working-aged blacks seem to have checked-out. Another part of that is heavy participation in sectors (home health care, retail trade) which rely on contracting, part time labor, &c.
Also it's this checked out population that can spell the difference between a Dem or GOP WH.

No one’s been sent to ‘fight on behalf of Israel’.
The discourse about ‘neocons’ is profoundly silly. They were a modest corps of opinion journalists who do not now and have not for 25 years traded in a distinct strand of thought within the Republican Party. They’re standard-issue Republicans, for the most part. They do have personal and professional histories which differ from Republican politicians. Elliot Abrams was never a real estate agent. That’s about it. Not one of the people associated with the Committee for the Free World is under the age of 55 and the former executive director of that outfit is 90.
While we’re at it, William Kristol’s son was in the Marine Corps and put in time in Afghanistan. Michael Ledeen’s daughter was a civilian employee in Iraq (and not stationed in the Green Zone) during one of its more dangerous periods. (Not that your ad hom was at all valid).

My "black side" comment above had a jesting side, but I think it actually explains a lot. It just baffles me how the non-criminal blacks seem so willing to accept the neighborhood destroying aspects of that (e.g. tolerance of black criminals, easy single mother welfare, etc.).
Then there is the aura of being on the "right" side of the civil rights battle.
I think we mostly agree here. I just would not dismiss the material interest argument completely.

Fiction. Nearly half of Hispanic births are outside of marriage and the mothers collect social services and can make good money that way. Also, families from Central America with children have the highest rate of social assistance. Hispanics also collect a variety of other social services in huge numbers.

I do think on average blacks are more susceptible to token gestures like Obamaphones.
My “black side” comment above had a jesting side, but I think it actually explains a lot. It just baffles me how the non-criminal blacks seem so willing to accept the neighborhood destroying aspects of that (e.g. tolerance of black criminals, easy single mother welfare, etc.).
Then there is the aura of being on the “right” side of the civil rights battle.
I think we mostly agree here. I just would not dismiss the material interest argument completely.
The wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, etc etc are being fought on whose behalf?
We’re not fighting any war anywhere but in Afghanistan, where we have our own interests. Israel’s priority in 2002 was the threat from Iran, a concern the Bush administration put on the back burner.
Syria’s problems and Libya’s are sociological in character and do not derive from their conflicts with the occidental powers or Israel.
I am very worried about the state of our world and the health of our republic.
I do not wish harm towards anyone.
But is there not some way for us to come together to avoid such terrible wars in the future? Does the whole Earth have to burn for the sake of Israel? Is there any way for there to be peace over there?
Good people from all of the tribes of the world have got to find a way to sit down and talk.
We can no longer afford to be aggressive and stupid. Our world has a gun pointed to its head with nuclear weapons and there is no room for error.
We have to get smarter and kinder fast or we are going to extinguish ourselves and our planet.
I fear for the future more today than I have ever feared for the future.

Can you elaborate on this comment?

It sat on my shelf for many years. I tried to start reading it two or three times. I instantly fell asleep, every time.
Bisexuality is the mode among women with an interest in lesbianism. Some pure lesbians resent them.
Interesting contrast to the party line among the (male) gay lobby, which maintains that bisexuals do not exist.
Following him to Hell seems easier than reading his stuff. Unreadable.
Cory Booker is too black to attract white voters like Obama did….
Don’t forget the 1 million blacks in jail. They’re supporting the prison economy.
