SHOTS FIRED AT HOME OF INJURED AMSTERDAM RAPPER’S MOTHER
By Janene Pieters on Thursday, 27 August 2020 – 11:00Multiple shots were fired at a home on Nieuwersluishof in Amsterdam Zuidoost during the early hours of Thursday morning. The mother of rapper Bigidagoe, who was injured in a shooting on Vechtstraat on Tuesday, lives in the targeted home, several sources said to Het Parool. …
This is the third shooting in Amsterdam since Tuesday afternoon, when rapper Bigidagoe, real name Danzel S., was gunned down on on Vechtstraat. He was rushed to hospital with serious injuries, but is now in a stable condition.
During the early hours of Wednesday morning, there was another shooting on Vechtsraat, leaving one man injured. According to Het Parool, that shooting was targeting the house of rapper “Justin van Zuid” on the same street.
Here is a recent video from this proud heir to the unique Dutch culture of Erasmus, Rembrandt, van Leeuwenhoek, Spinoza, Vermeer, Huygens, and Van Gogh.

Great title post, Steve. In the same way that regions of the US, such as the real South, the Midwest, Yankee territory, etc, are now homogenized and State’s rights are a goner, all the countries of the world are to be equally homogenized (except maybe one, oh, and in Africa, where that’d be colonization and is unacceptable).
This works out great for the elites, though, as there will be no more unified regions of white people with means and ability anymore to stand up to them … it’s almost like they planned it.
We used to have real diversity among regions and even the various States, in this country. “Diversity” is one of those big lies. I remember when it started up, come to think of it.
Show me just one area of the world that was vastly improved by Blacks entering any other society. I won’t hold my breath waiting for an answer.

On my way over to Unz I came across a clip of a blacketball player exclaiming how exhausting it is to be black in America. Most of you here are thinking it's exhausting to be white in George Floyd's America. And you are, of course, correct. I have no idea who this blacketball player is because I gave up on corporate sports sometime in the 1990s when I realized watching muscular young men get all sweaty and stuff is something homosexuals would also enjoy.Replies: @Buffalo Joe

It’s a genuine topic of interest to me about how different the world might be if shameless Howard Stein-like record producers hadn’t pushed NWA and the more and more extreme gansta rap. Making literal heroes out of violent criminals. All musical genres evolve due to the need for novelty but there is no reason it had to evolve in that direction.

It’s like French movies. They used to be mostly about quaint French people trying to cope with modernity (Jacques Tati), or existential dramas with a hint of eroticism (Malle, Truffaut, etc), or if not overlong and talkative films about upper-class people having affairs and discussing everything in a pedantic manner, but with its actors still distinctly French.

Wiley didn’t have his MBE revoked. Instead, he had his Twitter deleted after a few days. In those days, he called Jews “snakes” and “cowards”, claimed they are at “war” with black people, said they were responsible for the slave trade and suggested they deserve to be shot.

Somebody has to willingly purchase that cr!p. Statista claimed that in 2018 21.7% of all music album sales consisted of rap and 1.1% consisted of jazz. A lot of people just have garbage taste. And if you want to know why Dinah Washington and Brook Benton were top of the charts in 1963 and NWA was 30 years later, biology doesn’t get you very far.

But the rappers that followed (mainly after 1994-95) could never match their creativity and were destined to be derivative. Fast forward 30 years to today, and rappers are doing the same thing. It seems stale.
The Wire was one of the best TV shows of all time. But it's hard to imagine a new show based on the same themes and types of characters having the same impact. It's been done.Replies: @What a joke
No but there's a common factor of desired societal disruption, which may be biological or at least historically demonstrable. Look at the diapered black soldier in the Sand Hill indicting white civilization. They absolutely would have attempted NWA in 1963 if they could get away with it. Meanwhile the path out of Compton was smoothed by talent like Dinah.
"Someone needed those high interest loans, goy."
"Chinese people wanted that opium, what's the problem with us selling it to them?"
"Poor black people needed to rent to own their furniture, Jews were just helping them out."
Brook Benton released several singles, in 1963, but his biggest Billboard Hot 100 hit single, that year, reached only #3 (and that single— “Hotel Happiness”— was actually released in November 1962); it reached #2 on the Billboard R&B singles chart. Of his eight singles actually released in 1963, none made the Hot 100’s Top Twenty, and only three made its Top Forty; those three hit #4, #7 and #15 on the Billboard R&B singles charts. Brook released two albums in 1963 (“Golden Hits, Volume 2” and “Best Ballads of Broadway”); the hits collection peaked at #82 on the Billboard 200 album chart, while the Broadway-ballads collection failed to chart, at all.
Long story short, Dinah Washington and Brook Benton were two fine talents, but neither one topped the charts in 1963, let alone dominated them.
Here are the 21 #1 hits on the 1963 Billboard Hot 100 singles charts, just prior to the British Invasion:

Here is the 1963 Billboard Year-End Hot 100 Singles Chart:

The latter chart, especially, is replete with great Black pop artists and groups, both old and new. I was fortunate to have seven older siblings, and so I was immersed in the popular music of the 1960s, on Chicago AM stations like WLS (“Channel 89!”) and WCFL, many years earlier than most of my peers.
Steve, speaking of diversity being the same everywhere, we’re starting to get Jacob Blake wannabes. From back in my old home state of Silly-nois:
https://www.theherald-news.com/2020/08/25/man-shot-through-car-window-in-bolingbrook-stole-womans-property-cops/aw90ijl/
Key point:
“With the exception of Banks, the other occupants exited the car and complied with officers’ commands, police said. Banks kept reaching back into the car, police said.
When Banks exited the car, he refused to comply with officers’ commands and walked to them while yelling, putting his hands under his vest and telling them, “You’re going to have to shoot me,” and “Shoot me,” police said.”
Could’ve gotten ugly:
“Police said a Taser was deployed on Banks “with negative results” and he began punching the officers when they grabbed him. Banks was taken to the ground but he continued to fight with them and a Taser was deployed again, police said.
After Banks was handcuffed and placed in a squad car, he kicked the officers and was “noncompliant,” police said.”
I suspect this will now be the go to reaction for suspects.

It was recently mentioned in casual conversation among reasonable woke persons that housing prices in nearby Middleton, WI have increased much more and to higher levels than in Madison. The reason offered for this was “the schools.”
Schools? I thought Middleton was where the lower-paid University staff rented cheap, ticky-tacky apartments near a bus line into Madison? Houses are being bid up outside of the city that is home to all of those college professors with yard signs for BLM, No Matter Where You are From in Arabic, English and Spanish or No Human is Illegal, Science is Real?
Do you suppose it has to do with Madison not being safe, with the four guys in Hawaiian shirts still at large?

People like King Leopold are the ones running the world today and they’re all for importing immigrants who are just better and not cheaper at all.

One can’t cut child workers hands off today but it’s the best they can get away with and since the Jewish influence on the left has made ‘immigrants’ sacred creatures, they are getting away with it.

Belgium isn’t Holland. Or the Netherlands.
I’ve always found it somehow incomprehensible that Western European countries are choosing to allow in black people.
I mean, we kind of woke up in the modern era with blacks already here; it wasn’t like there was much we could do about it, practically speaking. However, at least our example was there as a warning, if the Europeans chose to learn from it.
Black riots and crime started ruining America apart more than half a century ago; it wasn’t a mystery what would happen. Yet all those European countries decided it would be a good idea to copy us — even though the warning was right there.

I have no idea who this blacketball player is because I gave up on corporate sports sometime in the 1990s when I realized watching muscular young men get all sweaty and stuff is something homosexuals would also enjoy.

Blacks combine low-wattage thinking with high-voltage narcissism. They believe the bullshit streaming out of their ears.

The best thing a whitey can do for himself is turn off the corporate sports and become physically active. Climb over the fence of Steve’s country club and sneak in a few holes before Steve rats you out to security. That’ll get your adrenaline pumping. Then go home and make sweet love to your woman.

Only if you prefer the kind of frivolous inquiry into psychobabble mechanics of how hard-partying charisma-thugs are electronically “created.” Non-Black audiences seem to have developed a way of tapping the societal brakes on this trope, at least for gangstertainers who are likewise non-Black.
In other words their dorky non-Black squareness eventually wins out against their authentic, fast-life-history YOLO Blackness. What is your “non-biological” explanation for the apparently reversed situation among Black audiences and the content creators they tend to inspire?

At the time, NWA was more of a cultural exposition than music. Pubic Enemy and NWA had a prominent role in expanding musical expression. Their music exposed hundreds of millions of people around the world to the separate and very different world of American blacks during the crack epidemic. At that time, their styles were innovative (particularly PE) and began to have a significant impact on the broader culture.
But the rappers that followed (mainly after 1994-95) could never match their creativity and were destined to be derivative. Fast forward 30 years to today, and rappers are doing the same thing. It seems stale.
The Wire was one of the best TV shows of all time. But it’s hard to imagine a new show based on the same themes and types of characters having the same impact. It’s been done.
It's basically the story of two alcoholic detectives, one white and one black, who carry the series along (and provide the only comic relief) against a backdrop of subplots with impossible, stereotypical characters that sit on the "white man bad, black man good" narrative. Apart from the white protagonist, whites are portrayed as immoral, evil, or downright incompetent with few or zero redeeming values. On the other hand, blacks are portrayed as witty, wise, competent, humane, and morally just, who want to do better, if only the invisible white man's hand didn't keep them down and force them to break the law and live in the ghetto's tragic dirt.
Fully PC-compliant white characters include (off the top of my head) a cop so incompetent he accidentally kills an innocent black man; a smart, but selfish ladder-climbing major who's revealed to be a closeted gay out of the blue; a smart, but lazy cop always looking to avoid hard work; a selfish politician who's out of touch with reality; a brash, young detective who's too dumb to make sergeant. Any competent white is ethnic and evil.
On the other hand, you have plenty black heroes and anti-heroes: a brash, young detective who wises up and makes sergeant; an old, wise, quiet detective who's solving cases noone else can; a competent, young lesbian who aces every mission; a skilled captain who's kept down by the system (but gets the redhead); a police boss who's smart but has his hands tied by the superiors; various street-smart thugs who would've made it in life if only they weren't marginalized; a comic-book caricature of an openly-gay super antihero street thug; a comic-book caricature of a black mob enforcer wearing glasses and a bow-tie, holding a book in hand.

There even used to be a magazine called "Eurabia", which promoted this codswallop, if memory serves.

It’s an artistic masterpiece and practically white nationalist propaganda when compared to Law & Order, that’s why. At least it showed urban criminals as black and the government as corrupt and incompetent. Many racially aware younger white men at the time it aired — younger Xers and older Millenials — watched it. It came on the air around the time The Sopranos stopped regularly having new episodes and a lot of the younger Sopranos audience migrated over. They were both on HBO Sunday nights, when younger people who go out on Friday and Saturday nights are more likely to stay in and watch TV. The same audience, a little older and starting settle down, migrated over to Mad Men when The Wire and The Sopranos wrapped up.
Dinah Washington released only one single in 1963, before her untimely death that December 14th. It peaked at #92 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and did not appear at all on the Billboard R&B singles chart. I see no indication on Wikipedia.org that any of her three albums released that year even made the Billboard 200 album charts!?!
Brook Benton released several singles, in 1963, but his biggest Billboard Hot 100 hit single, that year, reached only #3 (and that single— “Hotel Happiness”— was actually released in November 1962); it reached #2 on the Billboard R&B singles chart. Of his eight singles actually released in 1963, none made the Hot 100’s Top Twenty, and only three made its Top Forty; those three hit #4, #7 and #15 on the Billboard R&B singles charts. Brook released two albums in 1963 (“Golden Hits, Volume 2” and “Best Ballads of Broadway”); the hits collection peaked at #82 on the Billboard 200 album chart, while the Broadway-ballads collection failed to chart, at all.
Long story short, Dinah Washington and Brook Benton were two fine talents, but neither one topped the charts in 1963, let alone dominated them.
Here are the 21 #1 hits on the 1963 Billboard Hot 100 singles charts, just prior to the British Invasion:

Also note, yes, he isn't merely cancelled but now has a criminal record for it in the UK.Replies: @El Dato, @Dumbo, @Not Only Wrathful, @Richard of Melbourne, @duncsbaby
The Ramones once dared to cross the KKK and where are they now? That’s right, all in shallow graves.
Since Aesop was a slave, look for that history to be retconned.
That wasn’t one of Æsop’s. There are Russian and Persian versions. Both peoples had nasty neighbors, and were quite capable of nastiness themselves.

Why do they always have anti-social personality disorder? The loudest voices always have this. Could it be that they consider this a form of violence against whites?
Akim Aliu is from Ukraine with a Nigerian father. Nice to see him repaying his hosts too. Impressive form, father skipped out on two countries to trade up and his son agitates against the natives in the best one. I also like how they were just able to go from Ukraine to Canada.

And, holy cow, this French gangster song is up to 269 million views now. Somewhat subversive.

Thanks for sharing these entertaining European rap videos, even though I wouldn’t consider either one of them to be “gangsta.” What’s really amazing is that both of these apparently popular songs are in English and not French or German. At least Bigidagoe was nativist enough to keep it real in Dutch.

It's 'incredibly insulting' that the NHL hasn't involved itself in silly cringe activism. Don't they realise that all sport including, no especially, the ones not played of or any interest to black people, are obliged to act like they're the NBA?Replies: @vinteuil, @Known Fact, @PaceLaw
It is amazing that the not-very-intelligent leader of the NBA, LeBron James, can effectively shut down ALL sports leagues by simply issuing his own fatwa. The Mafia wish they could wield such power! Lol! I anticipate LeBron making an overreach for power in the near future which will hopefully backfire and diminish his movement.
Mets’ Smith Pleads Through Tears: ‘People Still Don’t Care’

Son, I wouldn't give a plug-goddamn nickel for your life.Replies: @PaceLaw
So many tears these days! Professional athletes were once put on a pedestal as the highest examples of strength and manliness. Now, our highly sensitive athletes are not much more than pajama boys. I also think there’s a high degree of performative activism going on these days. Athletes or just competing among themselves to see who’s the most woke/sensitive. The hi-testosterone WNBA made this cute little gesture: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.insider.com/wnba-strike-prompts-candlelight-vigil-commissioner-expresses-support-2020-8%3famp

Cameron was a champ in Louisiana yesterday, with top max gust of any parish during Laura, at about 124 MPH average, weighted on population distribution.
I just finished reading A Bend in the River, by Naipaul, recommended by a commenter here. Nice discussion of post-independence Congo, Joe. Worth a read.
The sins of the fathers (enslaving Africans, mutilating Congolese to create rubber plantations) I will visit upon the sons for three generations, said some guy or other.

I just finished it last night and I don’t get what all the hoopla is about. Parts of it are indeed beautifully written, but the narrator is neurotic and some parts just don’t make sense. How come Yvette has an affair with him? How come he breaks up with her so suddenly and violently? How come Metty turns him in? How come his friend’s BigBurger wasn’t nationalized, and his crummy store was? I kept waiting for some kind of resolution that never came.
It was worth reading; good, but not very good, or great.

I would also recommend North of South, written by Shiva Naipaul, younger brother of V.S. It’s a non-fiction account of his travels in Africa. Shiva was highly talented in his own right, but died in his 30s, and so is not particularly well known.
Try listening. That group has some catchy tunes.
Electro swing, which seems to be a thing.
Apropos of the recent Steve post about Michelle Obama complaining she is invisible, the narrator discusses many women with whom he has relations, presumably all of them African, but only describes ONE relationship, with Yvette, as fulfilling. Kind of a noN-Western version of Orientalism, fetishizing white women. A lot of unanswered questions and unclosed loops, I agree.

I’ll check it out; thanks.
My own recommendation is to listen to, not read, Things Fall Apart, by Chinua Achebe. It works better as a sort of oral history. You find yourself worrying if the yam crop will be good this year. He also records the reaction of a new people to Christianity: how can God have a son if he has no wife? I did have to laugh at that one.
