The perceptive human sciences reporter Jesse Singal of New York magazine is rightfully annoyed by the latest front in the War on Beckys: “Crosswalk Cathy:”
1. Woman calls Portland parking authority (not cops) b/c a car's blocking crosswalk
2. Owners of car happen to be black (caller didn't know)
3. Journos play up nonexistent racism angle
4. Asshole geniuses of Twitter busily get to work
doxing and trying to ruin her pic.twitter.com/qAHGvV7ARJ— Jesse Singal (@jessesingal) November 2, 2018
One suggestion I have for journalists in general is to stop having so much respect for Black Twitter. Credulity over the reliability of Black Twitter has gotten the MainStream Media into countless factual fiascos such as Innocent Baby Trayvon vs. the White Man and Ferguson’s Gentle Giant.
Stop assuming that if random black people around the country on Twitter are outraged over, say, how Michael Brown was gunned down in cold blood while raising his hands to surrender or how racist Crosswalk Cathy racistly tried to have a racist parking regulation racistly enforced, that has to be exactly what happened because they wouldn’t put it on Black Twitter if it weren’t the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
In reality, Black Twitter is not some exotic samizdat pipeline of suppressed pure truth. Instead, Black Twitter is much like overall Twitter, which is notoriously awful and stupid.
Update: The Three-Fifth Amendment to the Constitution states: “Congress shall make no law requiring black people to do anything they aren’t in the mood to do, like not parking in a crosswalk, because history. And racism. And white privilege.”
Legal scholars state that if you ask whether the Three-Fifth Amendment overrides the Zeroth Amendment (“Anybody from anywhere has the right to immigrate to America anytime, no questions asked”), or vice-versa, then you are a racist troublemaker and they have their eye on you.

Twitter was the first place I noticed the groundswell over Trayvon. I was surprised when it became “real” news. If you are looking to pinpoint the beginning of the left losing it, this could be origin.
See the thing with social change is that people will only go along with you part of the way. Which means you have to push for a ridiculous extreme way beyond what it is you really want, to get what you really want.
So to get a situation where blacks are treated with kid gloves, you have to ruin the life of someone who, if things were different, could have targeted some blacks, even if she didn’t.
Liberals understand this, conservatives don’t.

You know, you’re not supposed to park on crosswalks. You take your chances with getting a ticket if you do.

It's not like Blacks are doing all that well under the Coalition: they are being gentrified out of some areas; displaced by immigrants in others; tokenism in many economic sectors.
Getting a pass on vice and crime is a chit the handlers are offering.
Not to mention Black Twitter seems to have a higher than average propensity to say “TWITTER DO YO THANG”.

Parking while black?
I refuse to call anyone ‘Becky” – now that we all know what it means.
“Shaniqua”, on the other hand, doesn’t get called out nearly enough!
She’s a racist for living in Portland. I am glad this topic has been breached because I need to tell you about Portland’s racist history…
Blacks are just morally spoiled or moroiled, so they act like black brats or blats. They feel morally entitled just because they are black and because blackness has been associated with neo-sacredness in America.
Imagine the horror! The help isn't just lacking in proper reverence but criticizing their behavior! The gall, the hubris. It's beyond the pale
I think some people are attempting to impress upon the public the idea that the slave has become the master. This could be seen as karmic justice if the slave master hadn't been dead for 150 years.

Yeah, parking that way is crappy, but call the cops? That’s just lowdown. Why can’t honkies learn the right way to key a car? Then let Muhhammad-the-owner call the po-po to say he’d parked in a crosswalk and pedestrians ‘accidentally’ scratched trying to get around it.

Another has:
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/414457-1600-scientists-sign-letter-opposing-trumps-plan-to-redefine-gender
From the original letter:
As scientists, we are compelled to write to you, our elected representatives, about the current administration’s proposal to legally define gender as a binary condition determined at birth, based on genitalia, and with plans to clarify disputes using “genetic testing”. This proposal is fundamentally inconsistent not only with science, but also with ethical practices, human rights, and basic dignity.
The proposal is in no way “grounded in science” as the administration claims. The relationship between sex chromosomes, genitalia, and gender identity is complex, and not fully understood. There are no genetic tests that can unambiguously determine gender, or even sex. Furthermore, even if such tests existed, it would be unconscionable to use the pretext of science to enact policies that overrule the lived experience of people’s own gender identities.
>There are no genetic tests that can unambiguously determine gender, or even sex.

Crazy that the only part of “white culture” blacks want to appropriate these days is drawing swastikas on synagogues
Here in NYC, all you have to do is call 311 to make a noise complaint or report antisocial behavior. When they ask you if you’d like to leave your name, just say, ‘no.’
The cops usually show up. But here’s the key: call the cops again the next time they do it. Because these reports are recorded, and the cops get annoyed at having to visit the same building or street corner repeatedly. They will let the building owner know that there are lots of complaints about their building, and contrary to perception, NYC landlords generally care if their building are getting lots of visits from the cops.
People in the hood are inconsiderate and behave selfishly because they believe there are no consequences, and they have the mentality of insolent teenagers. Many have records, none of them want any police interactions. Eventually, they’ll go somewhere else where they can act stupid.
It’s called ‘gentrification,’ and it’s the best thing that ever happened to America’s decaying neighborhoods.

Well done, Mr. Sailer, with your delivery of “staccato grievance commentary”™.
I suppose Beckys are at the forefront of keeping America safe from people who have their cars sticking out a half foot or so in front of the curb and therefore into the crosswalk. Her keen eye led her to report this heinous crime to a dispatcher with the Portland Bureau of Transportation’s parking enforcement hotline. We should all be celebrating her selfless act in diverting precious police resources from their normal routine of rounding up murdering darkies and their crack selling brownie sidekicks.
Because, after all, if we were in that same situation, we would be championing her dogged efforts rather than cursing at her and threatening to run her over with our vehicle for being a busybody.
Do you habitually park your car so that it blocks the crosswalk?

I would somewhat agree but she actually called parking enforcement not the police. We also don’t know how bad the parking was. The car was in a crosswalk.

Hot take: although the rhetoric has always focused on “the man,” blacks viscerally have much more disdain for white females han for white males. I’m not sure why, exactly: one theory is that they frequently interact with prissy white female teachers as kids and thus tend to view them as martinets. Another is that white American women are simply a pain in the ass. This is a question to which scholars ought to devote significant attention.

I am anticipating that this relatively new vein of grievance against white women will eventually produce a “Gang Rape Rebecca,” in which a junior at a state college in Washington will be shamed, doxxed, whatever, for the high crime of alerting the police in the immediate aftermath of being sexually assaulted by several black members of the college’s basketball team, after she decided to leave a frat party early and walk back to her apartment right off campus.
If history is any guide, I suspect that, horrible as Twitter is, Black Twitter is even worse.
Go back and look at the cause of some of the worst riots (Watts ’65, Detroit ’67, Newark ’67). Unsubstantiated rumor spreads through the grapevine. Within hours the whole city is on fire.
One suggestion I might make for Red State America is to dramatically enhance privacy laws in order to allow Beckys to sue publications who print this kind of stuff should they do business in said Red States; obviously, it wouldn’t be quite as easy as that, but it could be done in some fashion none-the-less. This would have an ancillary benefit of deplatforming said publications.

Indeed, she certainly drank that poisonous kool-aid by the gallons.
Just a quick note – some iSteve commenters on a previous post pointed out that it is not virtue signaling, but it is actually vanity signaling. Virtue requires high moral standards of which the SJW/BLM Twitter loudmouths and mobs have none.
I don’t see why this racist’s defenders are pointing out that she didn’t even know the owners of the car were black when she called the parking authority. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
I did this, in a more direct way, about 3 months ago in Marin. What happened was, an obese black woman parked her gas car in a space reserved for EV’s, which was right in front of the ATM she was going to use. So I asked her to follow the rules, and she called me a racist mf’er. So I called her a fat pig. Which was overheard by a 50-ish white SJW who went ballistic. As I walked into TJ’s, the SJW followed me and tried to get TJ management to deny me service. Amazingly, they were unresponsive. When I came out of TJ’s, the black woman was gone but the white woman was there again to harangue me further about fat jokes. I told her she was out of shape too, and she called the cops. I hung around for a few minutes but they never came. I suspect that the black blob is a D.A. but I’m not sure.
God, that sounds typically black. It's particularly typical of blacks living in white, liberal communities, because they've learned they can get away with almost anything, and no one will say anything.
Your sow wouldn't try that up here in Redneck land. She probably wouldn't even try it in the Hood. But around white 'Progressives'? She's gentry. The rules don't apply to her.

Do you habitually park your car so that it blocks the crosswalk?
If not, why are you defending the behavior? Would it even occur to you to do so if the perpetrator hadn’t been black?
No. Now, was the guy who the Becky was busting have that reputation?
"If not, why are you defending the behavior?"
Depends upon how one defines "blocking the crosswalk". Was his car jutting slightly out causing such a stir that pedestrians and vehicles were in harm's way? I don't know. But what I am questioning is the need for a woman to make a federal case out of something that can be civilly handled.

Regardless, this group of females are not "self-hating white women". They are merely teenage young ladies who, like other Americans, make their own choices when it comes to dating.

“Geez. The point is the woman who used the photo, whatever its actual origin, was using it to virtue signal her anti-white credentials. Instead of getting high fives all round, she got trashed.”
We do not know as of yet her intentions. You are making the assumption here that she is “anti-white”. In essence, you are perpetuating a false narrative. For what purpose?
“The choices and motivations of those in the pic are not the point. It’s her caption that was the issue.”
Actually, the caption, the choice, AND the motivation are all interwoven here. The issue is that a woman–A BECKY–put in her two cents worth. Perhaps we will find out the reasons why.
“Cucky” has lost its meaning. And I am hardly a “troll”, as I regular comment here. As far as your Alt Right hero Vox Day, he exposes himself everyday with his own brand of virtue signaling and trash talking. I imagine that you are one of his “Vile Faceless Minions” coming to his rescue, like a good little White Knight.

One of the two red lights for the eastbound land was burned out at an intersection near me. I told a guy from the city- street division the next time I saw one, because a) the other red was blocked by tree leaves, and b) redundancy is good. For the greens or yellow (not so likely) it wouldn't matter as much, but I've seen one wreck and barely prevented one other at that intersection.
OTOH, I wouldn't bother anyone about motorcycles parked in odd places on sidewalks, or most anything regarding parking unless it is really a hazard, as I've done all the same myself. One time, I had to park the whole car on a wide sidewalk just to go inside the office to pay a parking ticket. "You gotta hurry!" I told them inside, "I'm parked in a bad spot." Haha, good times ...Replies: @Colin Wright

Neither would I. However, I don’t think that anyone who behaves differently than me should therefore be vilified. I can think of all kinds of things others would tolerate that I wouldn’t, and conversely, all kinds of things that I’d tolerate that others wouldn’t. If you see something illegal that annoys you, you have a right to call the appropriate authority. If you choose to do something illegal, you’ve no right to kick if someone complains. Work to make it legal if you think it’s okay.

Never ventured into Black Twitter; don’t have the stomach for it. Regarding Beckys: In my ultra liberal environment I’ve tried to wake a select few Beckys to the racist bile spewed towards them by The New York Times and other liberal media outlets. I’ve tried to alert them that their beauty and ability to produce white babies drives the POC and their deranged non-POC comrades in the fight against whiteness mad with rage. Most think I’m exaggerating. White women, for all their wondrous traits, are the least tribal group in the U.S.A..
Oh Corvinus, a.k.a. Pablum Puker, how you love it so when Vox Day exposes himself.
Harlan Ellison wrote a story, “The Man Who Was Heavily Into Revenge”, in which the unanswered frustration and despair of the world’s billions mystically focuses upon one man who wronged another, and tears apart his life. And once he’s dead, with nothing actually fixed, it then moves on to do the same to someone else.
Social media mob anger seems to be like that. First the social justice mob drove the woman in the picture off the Internet. Now the journalist responsible is getting a steady stream of Twitter hate. Though I guess equality won’t be reached until she too deletes her personal website.
Cosby was easy to throw away. Back when the crack wars were getting warmed up, Cosby called out the parents of his own race. While privileged, Cosby was still a commercial icon large enough to open his trap. But now, elderly, used up and with money to grab with these lawsuits, he became easy meat for feminist thieving via #metoo.
OK, if I understand correctly then, if my site is reached via https, then I AM using TLS at this point, right?
If your connection starts with https://, then you are using some level of encryption. The client (you) and the host (the website) negotiate what security protocol to use when you first connect, and will use the highest common denominator. IOW, if you are running TLS 1.2 and the host is running TLS 1.3, then you both will use TLS 1.2.
These protocols are constantly being tested by the guys in the black hats and the guys in the white hats because a lot of money and confidential information goes across the wire.
Internet security is one of the main reasons OS's, such as Windows XP, become obsolete. They were not written with this level of security in mind and simply cannot be patched. Also MS wants to sell you a new OS.

My favorite Starbucks/crosswalk/stop being an asshole story.
My local Starbucks is right in the center of town and it has the busiest crosswalk right outside its door. There’s also a fire hydrant there hard by the crosswalk and right before the entrance to the downtown parking lot behind the retail block. People running in for coffee occasionally park there, hoping the coffee run is shorter than the local cops’ drives down Main Street.
I was outside at one of the cafe tables on a busy Saturday morning when a car pulled up and parked, rear bumper on the crosswalk line and front blocking the hydrant. A young Kardashian wannabe jumped out of the passenger door and got into the long line of people waiting for their coffee. After a few minutes, the driver (Celtics cap on backward, Kyrie Irving jersey and a few gold chains) got out and leaned on his car exuding attitude.
A gentleman (a guy I know and he’s a state cop) came out of Starbucks, looked at the kid and the car, and told him that he was illegally parked. The kid responded with a request that the gentleman mind his own business and to go fuck himself. The gentleman reached into his pocket and pulled out his badge, whereupon the kid began to move to the driver’s door. The cop used his “cop voice” to tell the kid to wait right there, pulled his cell and called the local gendarmes to the scene.
The two cops were very entertaining as they debated just how many violations the kid should be found in violation of. It got up to about $350 in fines before they were done.

I have a redirect now to the secure site only to avoid that. On some really old browsers one CANNOT load, or at least display, many https sites, but I think not all of them. I was not able to view VDare.com for a little while with that older browser since they must have changed at that point to https.
