From the New York Times news section:

Salamishah Tillet, a contributing critic at large for The [New York] Times, won the criticism category for her writing on race in popular culture that examined Black experiences, including how the art inspired by the murder of George Floyd resonated with her.

Dr. Salamishah Tillet is, among other things, a Professor of Black Rage, having taught a course on:

Black Rage: Race, Affect, and the Politics of Feeling

And she’s a leading academic figure in the burgeoning field of Beyonce Studies, having taught the following class:

Family Feuds: Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Solange and the Meaning of American Music

Salamishah Tillet has been featured seven times in iSteve for her above-and-beyond efforts to make my job easier by providing me with hilarious content in the general Hair Touching Crisis genre:

I’d like to thank the Pulitzer people for helping make Salamishah Tillet an even bigger role model for an upcoming generation of obliviously clueless self-absorbed black women pundits.

  1. Race denial is the disease, race realism is the solution.

    Black Rage: Race, Affect, and the Politics of Feeling

    Black rage is due to the WRONG idea that Black suffering is caused by whites (lowercase). US Blacks don’t compare themselves with Haiti Blacks or Ruanda Blacks.

    The whole truth requires mentioning that comparison, and the fact that the Haiti and Ruanda Blacks have bliss and zero rage upon arriving in their dream land. (correct?). Certainly the “racist” US is their dream land. Such #TrueSpeech is taboo, not allowed.

    We got from somewhat justified white rage about Black crime and dysfunction to totally unjustified Black rage against whites (lowercase) who provide them with a civilized safe country, good schools, food and white tax dollar welfare.

    Such #HateFact truths cannot be told, not even as hypotheses to be discussed and tested.

    In 2017 life expectancy at birth for all of Sub-Saharan Africa was 61 years. In the US, black life expectancy is 75.5 years - about 3 years lower than that of whites but a full 14 years higher than life expectancy in Sub-Saharan Africa.

    In 2021, GDP per capita for all of Africa - which includes non-black North Africa - was $1,970. In the United States black per capita income was about $41,000 in 2018 - again, quite a bit lower than white per capita income, but fully 20 times higher than per capita GDP in Africa.

    The reality is this: there are damn few blacks in America who would actually want to move to Africa, apart from those (like Barack Obama's father) who have solid ties to the African elite. The only way to get most blacks to leave America and move to a black majority country would be to drag them there kicking and screaming all the way.

    There are plenty of whites who would be thrilled to move to a white majority country, and plenty of countries they'd be happy to move to: Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Iceland, the UK, Norway, Sweden, Finland, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Italy - I'd gladly move to any of them if the circumstances were right. I might even move to Canada, if they ever get rid of Trudeau. And even Eastern Europe, while poorer than most other white countries, is not without its appeal.

    If we ever did have a 'National Conversation on Race,' this would be the basis for the realists' opening statement.

    The conversation flowing thereafter - if the discourse was permitted to be honest (a big 'if' there) - absolutely would not track the way activists anticipate.

    The Pulitzer jumped the shark in 1932:
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Duranty

    In the early ‘80s a black female Washington Post reporter won a Pulitzer for a story about an eight-year-old heroin addict. After social agencies tried and failed to locate the child, she was forced to admit she made the whole thing up. She returned the prize and it was awarded to the runner-up.

  14. I drilled-down into the Penn course catalog, because I thought it is important to understand the context in which Salamishah teaches. The courses are about half woke insanity, which is about twice as many expressly woke courses as I would have guessed. The other half purports to be the standard curriculum, but that half has been watered-down to include woke intrusions, and, contains entire courses that seem like trivial fun courses (For example, a course on Pirates Real and Imagined.) I am guessing that the Psych, History, and Govt departments are the same.

    Curious, I randomly checked-out the English department at the University of Wyoming. I ran into the same situation. Instead of the Pirates course, there was a course on Zombies. So I guess all is lost, all over.

  15. OT — Punchbowl News, a questionable web site I was conned into clicking on by a disgraced lawyer type who is always selling pills, has finally produced something useful amid their swamp-diving and society gossip. Their bailiwick is Washington, DC, and they claim to be the only media outlet who called the big Roe change (but their stock is rumor, and plenty of law talkers were also so rumoring, and the rest of the lyingpress is stupider than normal since Trump).
    The real constituency — the real rulers — the lobbyists. Punchbowl polled them anonymously and derived these results (in-depth results restricted to subscribers):

    A majority (52%) of K Street leaders believe that the Biden administration has been unsuccessful so far. Unsurprisingly, 81% of Republicans agreed. But 60% of Democrats said that the overall performance of the Biden administration has been successful.

    Trump staffers are out of luck. Most (57%) K Street firms said they look less favorably on former Trump staffers. Only 2% of firms said they look at them more favorably.

    The second paragraph strikes me as kind of iffy. They’re lobbyists. They make deals with whoever is in power. Trump and anyone who once lunched with him are very much not in power. At the moment.
    More interesting is the first item: a narrow majority of lobbyists do not suffer from brain damage, and even 40% of identified Democrats are capable of basic honesty regarding the shocking universal failure of the illegitimate Biden administration.

    The Pulitzer Prize used to be a mark of quality. The winners definitely skewed Left, but you could generally count on picking up a good read. But the rot’s gone deep.

    Black Rage: Race, Affect, and the Politics of Feeling
     
    Black rage is due to the WRONG idea that Black suffering is caused by whites (lowercase). US Blacks don't compare themselves with Haiti Blacks or Ruanda Blacks.

    The whole truth requires mentioning that comparison, and the fact that the Haiti and Ruanda Blacks have bliss and zero rage upon arriving in their dream land. (correct?). Certainly the "racist" US is their dream land. Such #TrueSpeech is taboo, not allowed.

    We got from somewhat justified white rage about Black crime and dysfunction to totally unjustified Black rage against whites (lowercase) who provide them with a civilized safe country, good schools, food and white tax dollar welfare.

    Such #HateFact truths cannot be told, not even as hypotheses to be discussed and tested.

    In the early ‘80s a black female Washington Post reporter won a Pulitzer for a story about an eight-year-old heroin addict. After social agencies tried and failed to locate the child, she was forced to admit she made the whole thing up. She returned the prize and it was awarded to the runner-up.

    I drilled-down into the Penn course catalog, because I thought it is important to understand the context in which Salamishah teaches. The courses are about half woke insanity, which is about twice as many expressly woke courses as I would have guessed. The other half purports to be the standard curriculum, but that half has been watered-down to include woke intrusions, and, contains entire courses that seem like trivial fun courses (For example, a course on Pirates Real and Imagined.) I am guessing that the Psych, History, and Govt departments are the same.

    Curious, I randomly checked-out the English department at the University of Wyoming. I ran into the same situation. Instead of the Pirates course, there was a course on Zombies. So I guess all is lost, all over.

Our society have a “come to Jesus” moment where we remember America is great because it is rooted in Western Christian civilization (Anglo division) and because of the hard work of generations of pioneers and settlers, and the pragmatic creativity and innovation of a lot of white guys? And then chop off all the “Civil Rights” bureaucratic and legal harassment of the minoritarian super-state and give the white guys (and now some Asian guys) a shot at competing with the Chinese?

    What’s the chance of that? 1%? .1%?

    Black rage is due to the WRONG idea that Black suffering is caused by whites (lowercase). US Blacks don’t compare themselves with Haiti Blacks or Ruanda Blacks.
     
    In 2017 life expectancy at birth for all of Sub-Saharan Africa was 61 years. In the US, black life expectancy is 75.5 years - about 3 years lower than that of whites but a full 14 years higher than life expectancy in Sub-Saharan Africa.

    In 2021, GDP per capita for all of Africa - which includes non-black North Africa - was $1,970. In the United States black per capita income was about $41,000 in 2018 - again, quite a bit lower than white per capita income, but fully 20 times higher than per capita GDP in Africa.

    The reality is this: there are damn few blacks in America who would actually want to move to Africa, apart from those (like Barack Obama's father) who have solid ties to the African elite. The only way to get most blacks to leave America and move to a black majority country would be to drag them there kicking and screaming all the way.

    There are plenty of whites who would be thrilled to move to a white majority country, and plenty of countries they'd be happy to move to: Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Iceland, the UK, Norway, Sweden, Finland, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Italy - I'd gladly move to any of them if the circumstances were right. I might even move to Canada, if they ever get rid of Trudeau. And even Eastern Europe, while poorer than most other white countries, is not without its appeal.

    Black rage is due to the WRONG idea that Black suffering is caused by whites (lowercase). US Blacks don’t compare themselves with Haiti Blacks or Ruanda Blacks.
     
    In 2017 life expectancy at birth for all of Sub-Saharan Africa was 61 years. In the US, black life expectancy is 75.5 years - about 3 years lower than that of whites but a full 14 years higher than life expectancy in Sub-Saharan Africa.

    In 2021, GDP per capita for all of Africa - which includes non-black North Africa - was $1,970. In the United States black per capita income was about $41,000 in 2018 - again, quite a bit lower than white per capita income, but fully 20 times higher than per capita GDP in Africa.

    The reality is this: there are damn few blacks in America who would actually want to move to Africa, apart from those (like Barack Obama's father) who have solid ties to the African elite. The only way to get most blacks to leave America and move to a black majority country would be to drag them there kicking and screaming all the way.

    There are plenty of whites who would be thrilled to move to a white majority country, and plenty of countries they'd be happy to move to: Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Iceland, the UK, Norway, Sweden, Finland, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Italy - I'd gladly move to any of them if the circumstances were right. I might even move to Canada, if they ever get rid of Trudeau. And even Eastern Europe, while poorer than most other white countries, is not without its appeal.

    And the income gap gets worse the further away from colonialism or slavery you get. Haiti was the Caribbean nation to throw off the yoke of slavery, and it's far poorer than any other Caribbean nation.

    South Africa was the last African nation to throw off the yoke of a white-run government, and it's the richest country in Africa, and the government is begging and pleading for the white and Asian oppressors not to leave.

    14-year-old boys (and much older boys) can Google for literally millions of pictures of women every bit as beautiful (and more explicit, and higher resolution) as the women SI puts in the Swimsuit Issue. Why would they drop a few hard-earned bucks on a magazine?

    Nowadays the swimsuit issue only exists for the purpose of virtue signalling.

    Unfortunately the powers that have a death grip on our major institutions essentially demand this archetype be brought into existence, as they have determined angry and black is the proper condition of our segment of our fellow citizens, rather than integrated and grateful.

    The left has really hit a triple bank shot in the mental distress and agitation is inflicts on its most cherished demographic while successfully cultivating the idea that a) it's someone else doing it and b) it's a healthy way to exist.

    About a month ago, you commented on one of Steve's articles about BLM malfeasance that you thought you recalled news stories of BLM getting pledged over $1 billion in 2020,


    I could have sworn that a year or so ago I’d read that corporate America had given blm $1 billion in 2020
     
    which I recalled hearing too. Specifically, I recalled Bank of America being one of the big pledgers of a billion dollars.

    Looking on their website confirmed this, sort of:

    https://newsroom.bankofamerica.com/content/newsroom/press-releases/2020/06/bank-of-america-announces--1-billion-4-year-commitment-to-suppor.html

    The fine print says "over four years", and checking back a year later, it turns out that it's not necessarily BLM per se but just anything they can shoehorn into the "racial equity" narrative. They seem to like giving to Asian-American stuff, lol. In fact, there is no mention at all of BLM a year on:

    https://newsroom.bankofamerica.com/content/newsroom/press-releases/2021/03/bank-of-america-increases-commitment-to-advance-racial-equality-.html

    Given the infamy that various BLM exponents are heaping upon their cause, I suspect most other big corporate pledgers are doing a similar disappearing-into-the-shrubbery act.

    Of course corporate charity is kind of shady to begin with. If they have so much extra money that they don't need, their fiduciary duty ought to be to return it to the shareholders and let them decide which charities, if any, to give it to. But somehow, fashionable grifts seems to be a carve-out from the fiduciary duty rules.

    The first name that this young ABB or her Mom pulled out of her ass sounds very much like the name of one of the Pacific Northwest Indian tribes. If she'd move out to Seattle, I'd bet they'd let her fish salmon with a net and operate a bank of slot machines, sight unseen.

    It would be both consistent and nice and victimy if she had siblings named Skykomish Tillet, Snohomish Tillet, Snoqualmie Tillet, Stillaguamish Tillet, Duwamish Tillet, Skagit Tillet, and of course, Nooksack Tillet.

    Has former Braves and Phillies “great” Earl “the Earl of Snohomish” Torgeson weighed in?

    “Earl Torgeson’s two favorite activities were fist-fighting and breaking his shoulder, both of which he did whenever he got the chance. On the back of this card it says, “Torgy likes a good practical joke” – which is the biog writer’s subtle way of suggesting that he enjoyed knocking people’s teeth out. He is probably also the only left-handed hitting first baseman over 6’2″ who ever stole 20 bases in one season.”

    OT -- Punchbowl News, a questionable web site I was conned into clicking on by a disgraced lawyer type who is always selling pills, has finally produced something useful amid their swamp-diving and society gossip. Their bailiwick is Washington, DC, and they claim to be the only media outlet who called the big Roe change (but their stock is rumor, and plenty of law talkers were also so rumoring, and the rest of the lyingpress is stupider than normal since Trump).
    The real constituency -- the real rulers -- the lobbyists. Punchbowl polled them anonymously and derived these results (in-depth results restricted to subscribers):

    A majority (52%) of K Street leaders believe that the Biden administration has been unsuccessful so far. Unsurprisingly, 81% of Republicans agreed. But 60% of Democrats said that the overall performance of the Biden administration has been successful.

    Trump staffers are out of luck. Most (57%) K Street firms said they look less favorably on former Trump staffers. Only 2% of firms said they look at them more favorably.
     
    The second paragraph strikes me as kind of iffy. They're lobbyists. They make deals with whoever is in power. Trump and anyone who once lunched with him are very much not in power. At the moment.
    More interesting is the first item: a narrow majority of lobbyists do not suffer from brain damage, and even 40% of identified Democrats are capable of basic honesty regarding the shocking universal failure of the illegitimate Biden administration.
    These are the people who actually run things, and they would appear to accidentally represent the wider country pretty well.
