Today is National Signing Day, when high school seniors and junior college transfers decide which college they will attend and play football for over the next two – four years. For many people this day is a holiday where grown men who have never, ever socialized outside of work with Black people will have their very happiness and well-being dictated by the decisions of primarily Black 18-year-olds.

Sports fans high on the opium of college football with this decision
Sports fans high on the opium of college football with this decision

In a sick and twisted way, the amount of time and money grown men spend salivating over the 40 time, vertical jump and physical attributes of primarily Black 17 and 18-year-old recruits would make them eligible for membership in the North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA).

White alumni fantasize about what these recruits might look like wearing their school uniforms, as long as they can post sufficient grades for entry into the school. Entire colleges will ignore their history if only Black players will sign with their school.

If a Black four or five star recruit spurns their alma mater for a rival institution, all hope for future football success is lost. The amount of money spent recruiting these Black athletes, who come from school systems that these same white alumni have fled so their kids can attend “better” districts, will only result in a big return on investment for a number of the schools in NCAA that derive massive profits off of this unpaid labor.

Virtually all-white colleges sign 20-28 football players, the majority of whom are Black, to full academic scholarships. The media exposure and adulation these athlete-students will receive while in college is an incalculable asset that no normal student receives. It is difficult to qualify the name recognition they will garner for rushing the football, scoring touchdowns and sacking the quarterback, but wealthy, well connected alumni will undoubtedly take notice.

College for athletes should be considered a short-term investment for potential long-term monetary gains. Consider how much publicity in local newspapers, Internet stories, television and eventually ESPN, ABC, CBS and other national channels these athletes will receive. This correlates to a massive head start over their fellow students who merely attend college to get a diploma and then battle for a job in an increasingly tight job market.

Not all athletes will go join the professional ranks and the majority of those who make it will eventually go bankrupt. But for those Black athletes that sign scholarship papers on National Signing Day, an opportunity to attend Tier 1 institutions that their porous grades and low ACT/SAT scores on obviously culturally biased tests is guaranteed in spite of their academic deficiencies.

Black athletes, despite hours of free tutoring and academic support not available to normal students, have horrible graduation rates at these institutions. A football scholarship to a major Bowl Championship Series (BCS) school is like winning the golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s factory. That athletes fail to understand the gift they receive by representing the school on the football field (all games are televised now and a hungry fan base devours any and all news on the Internet message boards) and what that translates to in potential job opportunities in high level sales after college is their fault.

Take a look at ESPN’s Top 150 prospects (you could also look at Rival.com or Scout.com lists) and feast your eyes upon the first names of many of these exceptionally gifted talents. Consider that in every other vocation (save basketball), a ghetto name is considered a huge liability to employment:

To test whether employers might discriminate against job applicants with black-sounding names, associate professors of economics Marianne Bertrand with Chicago’s Graduate School of Business and Sendhil Mullainathan with MIT conducted an elaborate experiment. They fabricated resumes for multiple “phantom” job seekers with common black and white names. The professors then sent out nearly 5,000 resumes for 1,300 job openings advertised in newspapers and on online job sites throughout Chicago and Boston…

The results are a bit disturbing, the researchers admit. Applicants with white-sounding names were 50 percent more likely to be contacted for job interviews than those with typical black names. There were no significant differences between the rates at which men and women were contacted.

Only in college football (and basketball) would a ghetto first name be considered an asset instead of a liability. The same white alumni who move their families far away from Atlanta, Memphis, Chicago, Baltimore and other majority Black cities, counties or school districts will nevertheless spend countless hours following the exploits of athletes who grew up in the very cities, counties and school districts they abandoned.

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), already crumbling due to inept management, loss of accreditation, poor academic success rates and a crushing inability by students who attend to pay back student loans are also deprived of an obvious source of revenue when Black athletes decide to attend white schools.

A lot of Black people think that Black athletes are being taken advantage of by not receiving monetary compensation for their participation in athletics. William Rhoden has likened these athletes to modern day slaves; Boyce Watkins has called the NCAA a sweat shop that destroys Black males and Black families alike; and Billy Watkins has described it as a “new plantation” model, where white schools pocket revenue at the expense of veritable Black slaves.

Let’s be honest: without sports, a near majority of Black people would never attend a major university. Their scores on culturally biased aptitude tests would preclude them from being accepted by virtually every major school.

College football is the opiate of America and on National Signing Day the opium dens around the country are open to such extremes that the highs allotted are greater than many drugs available for purchase from dealers operating in the same areas where the athletes recently signed call home.

The movie Boyz n the Hood showcases this situation beautifully. One of the main characters, Ricky, is trying to get his SAT score so he can play college football (the film was made when Proposition 48 mandated that athletes have at least a minimum of a 700 on their SAT):

A college football coach from USC visits Ricky one night for an interview; Brenda kicks Doughboy and his friends out onto the porch where they discuss first college, then girls. Meanwhile, the coach promises Ricky an athletic scholarship at USC if he earns a minimum SAT score of 700.[4] Ricky struggles during the test, looking often at Tré for help, and seems unsure of passing. Later that day, Furious tells the boys that the English section of the test is culturally biased and only the math is fair.

As Tré walks home, he looks back just in time to see Ferris and his friends pull out in front of Ricky. Warned by a frantic Tré, Ricky attempts to run from them, but is gunned down with a double-barreled shotgun. Doughboy and his friends soon pull up to find Tré crying over Ricky’s dead body. They bring Ricky’s blood-soaked body home in Doughboy’s car. Brenda immediately blames Doughboy, who tries to comfort her but is rebuffed; he then attempts to remove Ricky’s son from the room where his father lies dead. Later that night, Brenda sobs over Ricky’s test results, discovering he earned a 710, just enough to qualify for the scholarship.

Remember that this film came out during the Prop 48 debate, a moment of immense clarity in NCAA history. The overwhelming majority of Prop 48 athletes were Black, and yet people still complained of the difficult standards that these athlete-students had to reach to be deemed eligible:

According to the 1990 Knight Foundation Report, 86.5% of the football and basketball players who have been affected by Prop 48 during the last three years are black. For the most part, these athletes have been unfairly labeled as intellectually inferior. Yet behind every Prop 48 athlete, there is a story, one that too often goes undiscovered.

Prop 48 would eventually be struck down as racially bias:

Few rules in sports history have triggered more fiery debate than the NCAA legislation that was born in 1983 as Proposition 48 and was struck down last week as an example of racial bias. Designed to raise graduation rates among college athletes, Prop 48 and its ’92 successor, Proposition 16, required incoming freshmen to meet academic standards—including minimum scores on the SAT or the ACT—to play sports their first year.

The rule’s demands became part of college sports shorthand. Athletes who failed to meet the minimums were called Prop 48s. Recruits were divided into those who “had the score” of 700 on the SAT and those who fell short The stakes got higher when Prop 16 lifted the bar by imposing a sliding scale requiring recruits with a 2.5 grade point average in high school core courses to score at least 820 on the SAT and those with a 2.0 to score at least 1010.

Critics said the requirements discriminated against minority students, and on March 8 judge Ronald Buckwalter of the U.S. district court in Philadelphia agreed. In a case brought by the Trial Lawyers for Public Justice on behalf of two athletes ruled ineligible under Prop 16, Buckwalter wrote that the NCAA’s use of the SAT and ACT had an “unjustified” impact on black students. In the opinion Buckwalter cited evidence showing that 21.4% of black students who applied for Division I eligibility in 1997 failed to meet Prop 16 standards, compared to 4.2% of white students…

Props 48 and 16 weren’t all bad. “They pushed marginal athletes to work harder in the classroom,” says Lee Boyko, basketball coach at Rich Central, a predominantly black high school in suburban Chicago. The late Arthur Ashe also supported high standards for athletes. “Black educators were incensed,” Ashe said of Prop 48’s minimums. “I was incensed that they were incensed. They should have complained that the number wasn’t higher.”

We already know how Richard Lapchick feels about the graduation rates for Black athletes, though few people dared point out what we did in regards the 2010 Auburn University football team and what Jim Harbaugh said about marginal athlete-students at Mich igan.

Without sports, you have no positive examples of Black people. Well you do have Black Fictional Heroes, but again these are conjured up by script writers with a mission to bolster the minority at the expense of the majority. This is of course the modus operandi of Black Run America (BRA) worldwide, with minority outreach dominating the goals of US diplomats globally.

So ingest that opium America and bask in the glory of National Signing Day. Prepare to cheer as Black people sign academic scholarships to come represent your alma mater on the football field and remember that you, dear white football fan, live far removed from the communities where these Black athletes grew up. It is these communities that are on the verge of collapsing into complete ineptitude, but at least they produce one export that you find tolerable: college athletes.

The Rivals and Scout.com top 100 recruits look like a cross-section of Thug Report and it is thanks to athletics, the dependency on Black recruits and the shunning of white athletes by Predominately White Institutions (PWI) that keep the opium pumping into the veins of people who could throw off the chains of BRA tomorrow.

White America’s desire for its opium fix is the reason Michael Oher was adopted, as well as other Blind Sides across the country were protected from the ravages of an unforgiving Black underclass that gets worse and worse by the day.

Through it all athletes who look like Toby Gerhart, Jacob Hester, Peyton Hillis and Jeff Maehl rarely receive the adulation from high school scouts as athletes with those strange first names do. Even Wes Welker, the Oklahoma Gatorade High School player of the year, only received one scholarship offer out of high school.

Happy National Signing Day! It’s truly stunning what a meat market the entire process represents. And just think the NFL Draft is next to gratify and captivate white males nationwide.

You knew it coming. Last year for Black History Month we brought you Black Fictional Heroes, an ode to the monumental roles Black people have had in Hollywood that have helped create positive images in the minds of movie goers, television viewers and those who consume vast amounts of popular culture.

A Black Virologist?
A Black Virologist?

Though the real world produces a scarcity of positive examples of Black people (hence Spike Lee’s vain hope of locating Black men to become teachers, when less than 50 percent of Black males even graduate high school), Hollywood has helped craft the ideal (idol?) numinous negro to supplant the continuous inundation of negative information that emanates from the Black community.

Television gave us The Cosby Effect , a by-product of that wonderfully fictional Black family that Americans invited into their homes on a weekly basis during the 1980s. Though 72 percent of Black children are born to single mothers (an incredibly high percent never makes it past the second trimester), the positive images from Bill Cosby’s sitcom denuded many of the negative stereotypes that white people held regarding Black people. “We’d love to have the Huxtable’s as neighbors,” thought many white people viewing The Cosby Show .

Though patterns of residential living suggest otherwise, The Cosby Effect is real. The power of Black Fictional Heroes is real.

NASA can scour America’ s elite colleges for the next top Black engineer to no avail, but Hollywood can cast a Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Cuba Gooding Jr. or Morgan Freeman as a top virologist, mechanical engineer, molecular biologist or even God and viola, you have a fictional representative that millions upon millions will see.

What NASA can’t find, Hollywood and television can easily manufacture. That is the beauty of mass media, fabricating images that can create a massive amount of cognitive dissonance among the viewer. The media will constantly bemoan the lack of real-world Black architects, doctors, dentists, ballerinas, engineers, Nordic Gods, and even wine enthusiasts, but movies and television (even commercials) rarely has a shortage of Black people starring in roles reality simply can’t duplicate.

This is the idea behind Black Fictional Heroes. We at SBPDL love movies and through viewing hundreds if not thousands of films have come to admire the tenacity of casting directors in Hollywood who continue to perpetuate the idea of Black Fictional Heroes.

When you watch movies (or television and the commercials between programming) you allow your mind to enter a state of “increased suggestibility” that allows the implantation of the numinous negro phenomenon (what we call the Black Fictional Hero) to easily seep into your brain. Though sports provide the bulk of real-world positive examples of Black people, Hollywood works diligently to program the rest through a steady diet of fictional heroes:

Consider this passage from Four Arguments For The Elimination of Television by Jerry Mander:

I asked … prominent psychologists, partly famous for their work with hypnotism, if they could define the TV experience as hypnotic and, if so, what that meant. I described to each the concrete details of what goes on between viewer and television set: dark room, eyes still, body quiet, looking at light that is flickering different ways, sounds contained to narrow ranges and so on. Dr. Freda Morris (former professor of medical psychology at UCLA and author of several books on hypnosis) said, “It sounds like you are giving a course outline in hypnotic trance induction.”

Dr. Ernest Hilgard, who directs Stanford University’s research program in hypnosis and the author of the most widely used texts in the field (said), “Sitting quietly, with no sensory inputs aside from the screen, no orientating outside the television set is itself capable of getting people to set aside ordinary reality, allowing the substitution of some other reality the set may offer. You can get so imaginatively involved that alternates temporarily fade away. A hypnotist doesn’t have to be interesting. He can use an ordinary voice, and if the effect is to quiet the person, he can invite them into a situation where they can follow his words or actions and then release their imagination along the lines he suggests. Then they drift into hypnosis.”

Now, if anyone were really honest about this, how could they say that the typical watching of television doesn’t fit the same conditions necessary for hypnosis? Of course, some people will scoff at the idea that hypnosis is anything but Quack Science; for those I suggest researching the Department of the Ministry of Truth as described in George Orwell’s Nineteen-Eighty-Four or Soma as referred to in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World . I suggest researching these two only if I can get those of you who still believe television is good or neutral to turn it off for a moment to bother to pick up and read a book.

The point of this is to show that television is a form of hypnosis. Hypnosis is described as “suspension of the critical factor” which expands on the idea of “increased suggestibility.” A person who is hypnotized may accept statements as true that he or she would normally reject…

As I stated in my article (and confirmed by Marie Winn’s book The Plug-In Drug ) it is not what is on television that is bad, it is not the content that is damaging; it is the mere act of watching television that is harmful . Television is a displacement of time. It is a huge waste of time — in a hypnotic state — that implants other people’s messages into the viewer’s head.

Think about this: how often do you see movies or television shows where the villain is Black? Though Thug Report showcases the true color of crime, Hollywood would have you believe that only white guys are actively engaging in criminality. Television shows such as Law and Order utilize real-life crimes as plots, yet switch the races from Black culprit to white to ensure that people will watch.

The nightly newscasts that turn into veritable into Thug Report’s is a reality that most people find difficult to live in (though most move flee the problems by moving to whitopia’s), so TV shows and movies constantly manufacture white villains and criminals to root against, while a Black cop becomes the hero.

Ask yourself: How many movies or television shows have you ever seen where the Black guy was the villain? In Mission Impossible III , it was teased that Lawrence Fishburne’s character was a rouge member of the IMF, a double-agent for a terrorist cell. Instead, Billy Crudup’s white character was the traitor. To make it worse, he dared suggest Fishburne’s character (Brassel) got the job as head of the IMF because he was an under-qualified Black man, signifying his true immorality:

(Musgrave reveals himself to be the traitor)Ethan: You told him. You told Davian Lindsey was coming, that’s how he knew.Musgrave: I thought you could get her back. But I wasn’t going to let all people, to let Brassel to undo the work I’ve done. I took action, Ethan. On the behalf of all working families of America, the Army force, the white house. I’ve had enough of Brassel and his sanctimony. IMF director, he’s an affirmative action poster boy.

One of the lone recent movies where the bad guy is Black happens to be Unbreakable . Mr. Glass, played by Samuel L. Jackson, is a super-villain who pulls off acts of terrorism in a bid to find an unbreakable person.

What other television show or movie made recently has a Black antagonist? Movies where they save the world come out routinely, as do movies with a Black person portraying the President of the United States (funny that most of them are president when the world is ending). Name some that have Black bad guys.

Now come up with movies or television shows that have a Black person portraying the moral compass, always there with sage advice or a brilliant new intention. In the real world, the primary invention we have courtesy of Black people is the Super Soaker. In movies, the inventions of Black people help bring about artificial intelligence and the destruction of the world.

This Web site has documented Black Run America (BRA) for almost two years, a tyrannical ideology that governs every aspect of life in the former United States. It seeks to remove any and all vestiges of a once prosperous nation,and in movies we even see history under attack.

Why else would Morgan Freeman be cast in a Robin Hood movie? Because people believe movies and television are an extension of reality and perceive history to be accurately portrayed in them. Though England had almost no Black people in the nation as little as 50 years ago, it makes perfect sense for Freeman to be in 12th century Britain when you apply logic utilized by Hollywood.

Same goes for a Black person playing a Nordic God in Thor , or even a Greek God in Percy Jackson: The Lighting Thief .

Black people provide an endless comedy of errors in the real-world, though Hollywood and television work overtime to create positive examples of Black people through Black Fictional Heroes and compensate for the reality’s deficiencies.

Search the archives for last years inductees and suggest new entrants into this illustrious Hall of Fame. Men like Morgan Freeman, Will Smith, Denzel Washington and Eddie Murphy have done more to create positive examples of Black people through their film roles then any bus boycott or civil rights speech ever could dream of replicating.

We will be highlighting Black Fictional Heroes all month, these men and women who have done more to artificially create the perception of equality through their films and television roles then any of the saints you will learn about during Black history month.

Just remember that Black people are more likely to engage in heroism than whites. Then you’ll understand why Black Fictional Heroes month is so important.

It was two years that a study came out discussing the religious tendencies of the various racial groups in America. The most religious group is Black people, though the high rates of abortion, out-of-wedlock birthrate and Black-on-Black crime is but a minor deviation from the gospel:

A 2009 study by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life found that African-Americans were more religious on a variety of measures than the U.S. population as a whole, with 87 percent of African-Americans describing themselves as belonging to one religious group or another.

Nearly eight in 10 African-Americans said religion is very important in their lives, compared with 56 percent of the general U.S. adult population.

That same article would state the number of atheists within the Black community is growing, that fact revealing a direct correlation to the above cited problems plaguing that racial group.

Despite evidence that some Black people are beginning to spurn the word of God in favor of a world devoid of a deity to worship, the majority of Black people are still incredible pious according to surveys (disregarding crime rates, marriage rates, out-of-wedlock birthrates).

Rarely has evidence of this deep devotion to God been on display like this past Sunday in North Carolina, when rival groups of Black people attending the same church got into a royally theological rumble:

A large brawl broken up by about 30 police officers at a Fletcher church Sunday stemmed from an attempt to get rid of the current pastor, church members said today.

Officers from five agencies in Henderson and Buncombe counties responded just after noon to Greater New Zion Baptist Church on Asheville Highway after a sheriff’s deputy at the scene for routine security called about a fight, said Capt. Jerry Rice with the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office.

Sunday and church is a deadly serious time for Black people, with two, three, sometimes even four hours devoted to worshiping the lord in a service. The Sunday sermon offers Black people an excuse to get dressed in the most opulent outfit in their wardrobe and an exhausting spiritual cleansing transpires once they sit down in a pew.

It has been called America’s most segregated hour, but rarely are the differences in the various races on full display then at church:

Americans may be poised to nominate a black man to run for president, but it’s segregation as usual in U.S. churches, according to the scholars. Only about 5 percent of the nation’s churches are racially integrated, and half of them are in the process of becoming all-black or all-white, says Curtiss Paul DeYoung, co-author of “United by Faith,” a book that examines interracial churches in the United States.

DeYoung’s numbers are backed by other scholars who’ve done similar research. They say integrated churches are rare because attending one is like tiptoeing through a racial minefield. Just like in society, racial tensions in the church can erupt over everything from sharing power to interracial dating.

Fighting over faith happens all the time. That’s why we don’t talk about religion at all here. But we will showcase events that require 30 cops to restore order, especially when this event transpires at a place of worship.

It’s fitting that on the day of the massive church brawl, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) held its annual pay-per-view, the Royal Rumble.

Something tells us that had Vince McMahon known about a real brawl – instead of his choreographed male soap opera – that he would have broadcast the Black church brawl instead, guaranteeing a higher buy rate.

We know: you aren’t supposed to make fun of Black people or admit that they have problems within their own community. The mere Saturday Night Live skit Blackenstei n has infuriated Black people all over the Internet, showing how closely guarded Black people are regarding how other races few them.

The secrets out Black people, thanks to YouTube and World Star Hip Hop. Black riots transpire constantly and thanks to the Internet they can no longer go down the memory hole.

A riot broke out at a basketball game in Charlotte this past weekend, when a parent hit a resource officer. 10 students were arrested at Vance High School in Charlotte (70 percent Black), for brawling.

Video of the church brawl can be found here.

Is there any reason to continue posting stories of depravity in a community that is so obviously lacking in self-control? We at Stuff Black People Don’t Like find it sad that the most pious people in America can’t find commonality when airing their grievances and resort to brawling amid the pews.

Well, not for a month at least… it’s time for a whole new batch of Black Fictional Heroes for Black history month.

The New York Times, that publication that still sets the agenda for the nation, has published a long article entitled Black? White? Asian? More Young Americans Choose All of the Above .

In this article, these lines stand out the most:

One in seven new marriages is between spouses of different races or ethnicities, according to data from 2008 and 2009 that was analyzed by the Pew Research Center. Multiracial and multiethnic Americans (usually grouped together as “mixed race”) are one of the country’s fastest-growing demographic groups. And experts expect the racial results of the 2010 census, which will start to be released next month, to show the trend continuing or accelerating.

No one knows quite how the growth of the multiracial population will change the country. Optimists say the blending of the races is a step toward transcending race, to a place where America is free of bigotry, prejudice and programs like affirmative action.

Pessimists say that a more powerful multiracial movement will lead to more stratification and come at the expense of the number and influence of other minority groups, particularly African-Americans.

And some sociologists say that grouping all multiracial people together glosses over differences in circumstances between someone who is, say, black and Latino, and someone who is Asian and white. (Among interracial couples, white-Asian pairings tend to be better educated and have higher incomes, according to Reynolds Farley, a professor emeritus at the University of Michigan.)

Along those lines, it is telling that the rates of intermarriage are lowest between blacks and whites, indicative of the enduring economic and social distance between them.

The best line is this one, “Optimists say the blending of the races is a step toward transcending race, to a place where America is free of bigotry, prejudice and programs like affirmative action.”

It is SBPDL’s belief that as long as programs like affirmative action exist then prejudicial thoughts will persist. Look, NASA is always going to be searching for that Black scientist to dispel bigots who believe they just don’t exist save in movies, because they just don’t exist save in movies.

A multiracial society will always have bigotry, because one racial group will always perform at a higher rate than other racial groups. Resentment will grow and efforts to rectify this problem will be codified into law. Thus is born affirmative action and ideas such as disparate impact.

The New York Times article does mention income inequality as one of primary reasons that Black and white pairings are a rarity, as opposed to pairings from the model minority – Asians – and white people.

It should be obvious though that Malcolm Gladwell and Steve Sailer are correct about a rise of a mulatto elite. Educated Black women are finding it difficult to find suitable mates (some urge interracial dating), with the high incarceration rate of Black males coupled with the horrible rates of education force many of these women into childless situations.

Those Black women that are having kids tend to be single parents with a net worth of $5 dollars.

The real bigotry toward the mulatto elite and those mixed-race individuals profiled so glowingly by The New York Times will come from the majority of Black people who do not pass the Brown Paper Bag Test (BPBT).

Real Black people are being left behind at a rate that would make Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins mad with envy, while those Black people with white relatives (one-drop) are getting ahead at a much faster rate. Only in sports are authentically Black people getting ahead.

Take the curious story of current Parks and Recreation star Rashida Jones. SBPDL loves The Office and when Jones was on that show it never occurred to us that she was partially Black. In fact, the daughter of Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton faced discrimination from a Black sorority she tried to join because she didn’t look Black enough:

Rashida is a Harvard grad. She claims she struggled with her identity there and was “rejected” by some traditionally black sororities. While I feel Rashida on her inability to fit in, I’ve never met a black sorority who turned down an not-black-black-woman considering that many black Greek organizations have historically LOVED women who can pass a paper bag test and LOVE any women, black or NBBP, who have rich, famous fathers.

Rashida Jones is not Black enough by Black peoples standards to be considered Black, though The New York Times continues to tell us that bigotry will go away as soon as evil white racists all die off so that multiculturalism can usher in a new era of peace and utter tranquility.

Wouldn’t it be nice if society worked the way Stuff White People Like (SWPL) white people wish it did?

We at Stuff Black People Don’t Like can only laugh at stories such as the one The New York Times has just published and will assuredly publish as 2010 Census data becomes available. To understand the real America, just read The Big Sort .

The stratification in America by race, income, political ideology and class is incredible right.

Disingenuous White Liberals (DWLs) can have their multiracial fairytale, but the truth is they only welcome members of the mulatto elite into the neighborhoods, though they will never tire from fighting for the rights of permanently disadvantaged Black people from afar.

And Rashida Jones still will never, ever be considered authentically Black.

It is a well-known fact that by 2050, the United States of America will have a majority-minority population. What this means is anyone’s guess, but based on current trends in credit allocation, mortgage defaults and access to low rates for car insurance, drop-out rates and with the abysmal record for majority Black cities and, the future isn’t going to be the one depicted in the cartoon The Jetsons .

The first casualty as we approach this glorious moment of white displacement will be free speech and the right to assembly. Already language resistant to the changes transpiring in America has been labeled as an over-utilization of “Hate Facts” as few voices are able to articulate what is coming without being tarred and feathered, publicly humiliated and ultimately shunned from polite society.

Omar Thornton and the Tuscon shooting show us quite clearly what Disingenuous White Liberals (DWLs), who have all the power in Black Run America (BRA), truly desire in the coming months, years and decades to come.

A devotion to antiquated documents written by Dead White Males still is a trademark of those who believe the United States operates under its original governing ideals. BRA has no need for any of the Bill of the Rights, the US Constitution being the most consistently ignored document (but eagerly cited by enthusiastic devotees to Pre-Obama America) governing our daily lives.

Two stories highlight what the future holds, whether you decide to accept it or not. One is from Clayton County in 2005. We have talked aboutit before, but must highlight it again:

On his first day at work, the new sheriff of Clayton County called 27 employees into his office on Monday, fired them and had snipers stand guard on the roof as they were escorted out the door.

A judge on Tuesday ordered him to rehire the employees.

The sheriff, Victor Hill, 39, defended the firings and said he had the right to shake up the department in whatever way he felt necessary.

Sheriff Hill also said it was necessary to fire the workers the way he did, including taking some deputies home in vans normally used to transport prisoners because the deputies were barred from using county cars.

Sheriff Hill was among a spate of black candidates elected last year in the county, which was once dominated by rural whites. The fired employees included four of the highest-ranking officers, all of them white. Sheriff Hill told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that their replacements would be black.

A once thriving county outside of Atlanta, reduced to losing its accreditation, bus system, posting some of the highest foreclosure and crime rates in the nation all because white people fled to safer, “better” school districts thereby leaving Black people in charge.

Once in charge, they fired the remaining white police officers and marched them out with snipers on the roof aiming their guns upon them like war criminals.

Would it be wise to label all white people in America now war criminals? Since Newsweek magazine published a story claiming white babies are racist for their natural predilections for members of their own race, DWL’s appear to waging a calculated war on nature, nurturing a sense of white guilt into all of these criminals.

Their crime? Being white, an unpardonable sin.

Perhaps this is why no one dares discuss the gross disparities in rape by race. The UN wants declare rape a tool of war, but the rates of Black-on-white rape in America outnumber white-on-Black rape by, well, a lot:

In the United States in 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man, while between zero and ten black women were sexually assaulted or raped by a white man.

What this means is that every day in the United States, over one hundred white women are raped or sexually assaulted by a black man.

A defeated people have no voice. The onus of guilt already weighs upon the shoulders of war criminals before they even stand trial. This is what transpires in BRA, with DWL’s silencing any opposition to the awesome changes in America by declaring that racism is obviously a mental illness and that any opposed the changes in the United States is undeniably a racist.

Perhaps this is why so many articles are being published discussing the lack of Black people in certain vocations? Will it one day become a crime if a certain percentage of Black people isn’t employed in a private or public sector job? It’s already that way in South Africa.

Remember the name Jared Taylor? He was – without a shred of credible evidence – thrown under the bus in the Tuscon shooting. Now the organization he heads is being denied the right to peacefully assembly, thanks to the actions of an elected Black official in Charlotte:

When a white nationalist magazine announced a conference in Charlotte, anarchists and other groups vowed to protest or disrupt the gathering.

But behind the scenes the conference apparently met an unexpected obstacle: Charlotte City Council member Patrick Cannon.

On Wednesday, American Renaissance magazine said plans for its annual conference are now in limbo because the hotel where it was scheduled to take place canceled the reservation.

An e-mail Cannon sent to a constituent early this week suggested he was lobbying local hotels to refuse to book American Renaissance.

Cannon wrote that he had contacted hotels and that “they seem to be cooperating.”

“An attempt was made for accommodations at another hotel but based on what I ask to take place they were denied again,” the e-mail said.

Jared Taylor, American Renaissance editor, said Cannon’s e-mail violated the First Amendment.

“It’s unconscionable (that) public officials would try to interfere in private contractual affairs,” Taylor said. “We have never run into this before.”

In a brief interview Wednesday, Cannon said he sent the e-mail to “update a constituent on where things stood.”

“By no means would I be in the business of trying to violate someone’s rights,” Cannon said.

That this story isn’t a national scandal shows you not only BRA’s power, but the ability of DWL’s to control all news and the direction of any and all debates. What do people expect is going to happen in America? The TSA already conditions us to accept a mindset of guilt before innocence. Daring to hold a conference in defense of the historical majority population of the United States is now forbidden, with elected officials dedicated to defending the Constitution actively seeking to stop said conference and peaceful assembly of individuals from transpiring.When white people fled Detroit, the city fell to ruin. When white people fled Prince George’s County, Birmingham, DeKalb County and… insert name of majority Black city here, that city or county saw a dramatic decline in standard of living for its citizens, a complete drop in quality of schools (despite an increase of spending per pupil) and overall quality of life.

When white people fled Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans in 2005, what was left behind overwhelmed a city and required hired mercenaries to restore order. A day without white people… New Orleans during Katrina.

Will we make it to 2050? With BRA failing before our eyes, increasing the vice around acceptable dialogue will become vital to holding the center together.

One thing should be crystal clear by now: white people are already considered war criminals by those running BRA. War criminals are marched around with snipers aiming high-powered rifles at their heads and completely denied any right to speak on their behalf, their guilt already presumed.

You might not agree with American Renaissance, but freedom of speech and the freedom to assembly is increasingly under attack.

What will 2050 look like? Well, at least the Navy will be diverse.

Jimmer Fredette scoring yet again in a BYU game
Jimmer Fredette scoring yet again in a BYU game

Basketball, as Bill Simmons makes clear in his tome The Big Book of Basketball , is a Black sport. Time magazine wrote this in 1977:

Nearly 65% of National Basketball Association players are blacks. Says Jerry West, the former superstar who is now coach of the Los Angeles Lakers: “When I first came into the league [in 1960], it was just starting to turn into a black league. And let’s face it. This is a black league now.”

The growing black dominance in sports is evident in college athletics too. During the recent N.C.A.A. basketball playoffs, for example, Champion Marquette and Contenders Michigan and University of Nevada at Las Vegas each had only one white in their starting lineups. In N.C.A.A. football, most of 1976’s top-ranked teams were loaded with black stars—in numbers far out of proportion to the percentage of black students on campus.

Black dominance in basketball (and the slow integration of college football, which became a rampaging flood) led to the destruction of the idea of white supremacy. The notion of a starting lineup of only white players as a viable option was destroyed when Texas Western (starting five Blacks) defeated lily-white Kentucky in the 1966 NCAA finals. Coached by Adolph Rupp, Kentucky’s all-white team would undergo one of the fatal blows against white supremacy that might prove fatal. This is how Sports Illustrated remembered the game in 25 years after the fact:

Apparently, though, Rupp could see the forest for the trees. Midway through the 1965-66 season he halted practice and gathered his undefeated Rupp’s Runts—no starter was taller than 6’5″—around him. He told them about the college basketball poll he’d seen in that morning’s newspaper. “Boys,” Rupp said in his scratchy Kansas twang, “when you go home tonight, I want you to look long and hard at these rankings. One. Two. Three. Kentucky, Duke, Vanderbilt. All from the South. And all white. Read it and remember. You’ll never see it happen again.”

Five years after College Park, a 7’1″ black player named Tom Payne suited up for Rupp and Kentucky. Seven years after College Park, Alabama-George Wallace, governor—started five black players. In the 1980s, 82 of the 100 starters in the NCAA championship game were black. Indeed, from 1982 through ’85, only one first-stringer on a national champion was white, Matt Doherty of North Carolina. Twenty-five years after College Park, 19 of the 20 starters on the four top-seeded teams in the 1991 tournament—UNLV, Ohio State, Arkansas and North Carolina—are black. The lone white player is Pete Chilcutt of North Carolina.

The point of these numbers, the best moral of all, is that after Texas Western rose to the cusp of a revolution, the denouement was so swift and total that it was hardly noticed. Now college basketball is all Harry’s brothers.

The 2010 NCAA Tournament was one for the ages, with Butler and Duke providing a championship for the ages with seven or eight white guys on the floor the majority of the game. Basketball fans hate Duke, primarily for the team’s whiteness in an almost endless Black sea of hoops stars that Predominately White Institutions trot out.

The Orlando Sentinel published an article in 2009 stating that NCAA Tournament teams had a lack of white players, though research from our good friend Richard Lapchick continues to show that those white players graduate at a much higher rate than Black basketball players. Why is that?

That same paper published a story detailing how the University of Florida has become a haven for white basketball players, where the thug culture so prevalent on most college teams is filtered with a safety net of fellow melanin-deficient athletes to pal around with:

But one thing is obvious: White players can feel as if they belong at Florida. Billy Donovan has cultivated an environment for the white player to flourish. Florida forward Chandler Parsons said he evaluated the white-player track record of schools when he was being recruited in 2007.

“You look at any school in the past that has had a white guy do well,”Parsons said. “If you’re a white recruit, you look at that stuff. But you really want to look at a school that fits your style of play. All black, all white, all Spanish, doesn’t matter as long as you can flourish in that system.”

That the two big sports – basketball and football – are dominated by Black athletes mean the lone white guys in locker rooms require instant bonding. Just ask Peyton Hillis what he experienced in the 2010 NFL season. When a white player dominates a sport that Blacks have for so long presided over, you’re bound to see resentment from Black athletes.

Enter the next great white hope in basketball, Brigham Young scoring sensation Jimmer Fredette. Sports Illustrated once asked where the white athlete went and wrote these dismissive words:

Most kids, black and white, report that coaches generally are the ones who encourage positional segregation. But Mater Dei’s Rollinson often encounters white parents who won’t consider that their child might be good enough to play a “black” position at the college level. He says these parents see their son lining up at cornerback or wide receiver and say, “He’ll never make it because he’s not black.” Rollinson tries to tell them their boy runs a 4.5 40-yard dash and has great hands, but they don’t want to hear it. “They come right back and say, ‘Don’t give me that BYU story,’ ” Rollinson says.

Brigham Young is perhaps the most prominent exception to the black domination of sports. Relying almost exclusively on white talent, the Mormon school has fielded teams that have continually competed at the highest level. The football team sits perennially in the Top 20, making an occasional run at a national title. The basketball team has won 15 Western Athletic Conference titles, made 17 NCAA tournament appearances and produced a dozen All-Americas, and for a week in 1987 it held the No. 2 ranking in the country—yet the Cougars have never started more than one black. “I don’t think I had ever played on or against an all-white team,” says Van Horn, the former Ute. “When we played BYU, it was strange.”

The paucity of African-American players on BYU teams has worked against them. “We haven’t had the quickness that a black student-athlete has,” says Roger Reid, a Cougars basketball coach for 19 years, seven of them as head coach. Nevertheless, BYU has beaten predominantly black teams from such schools as UCLA, Notre Dame and Virginia. The Cougars have defeated black teams that started games thinking that when push came to shove, their own athletic superiority would tell. San Diego Padres out-fielder Tony Gwynn learned this. As a junior point guard in 1980 he went to Provo, Utah, with his San Diego State team and got beaten badly. “Those BYU guys were flying through the air, jumping over guys, getting rebounds, and that’s the first time I thought, These guys are really athletic,” Gwynn says. “Our whole club was shocked.”

Perhaps it fitting that Ferdette, college basketball’s leading scorer – a modern day version of Pistol Pete Maravich – had one of his best games of the season against that same San Diego State team. Scoring 43 points and leading a BYU team that had 4 or 5 players on the court at all time against an all-Black San Diego State squad, Ferdette dominated the game.But it is his race that has sports writers questioning whether he can compete at the next level:

From everywhere on the floor, Fredette is a relentless, ferocious scorer. His range stretches far beyond the 3-point line, and his deftness with the ball – not to mention his toughness – gets him to the basket and the free-throw line. He’s scoring in the 30s, the 40s on some nights – averaging a nation-best 27.4 points per game – and perhaps it’s so amazing because people just don’t see that coming from a 6-foot-2 Mormon out of upstate New York. There’s no debating Fredette’s greatness as a collegiate scorer, but most fascinating is projecting what kind of pro player he’ll be.

Conversations with multiple NBA general managers and scouts who’ve tracked Fredette’s progress result in one consensus: Almost no one agrees on anything. Perhaps there’s something about a white guard with American roots which causes such prejudging, stereotyping and skepticism to abound. Perhaps there’s something about a white guard with American roots which causes such rooting interest and overhype. People are forever trying to pin Fredette into a neat little comparative box. Most agree he could top out in the late lottery around 12 or 13 but probably won’t last past the mid-20s.

It’s funny how Fredette draws comparisons to Gonzaga’s Adam Morrison(notes) and Duke’s J.J. Redick(notes). They don’t play so much like him, but they sure are white guys. Thirty years ago, the best player in BYU history, Danny Ainge, would’ve been the highest-drafted player in school history had he told NBA teams he preferred pro basketball over pro baseball. He was a different athlete than Fredette – bigger, faster and more suited for the pro game. For whatever it was worth, there was no shortage of comparable players in the NBA.

“I was a guy who could run, had good speed, and never in my college career did anyone question my athleticism,” Ainge said. “If I wasn’t playing baseball, I would’ve certainly been one of the top five or six picks. I don’t think anyone in the NBA was thinking about that with me or Doug Collins. We were bigger. We were athletic.”

Fredette has been unstoppable this year, shooting the ball with a precision normally reserved for automatons on an assembly line, though an attempt at a breakaway slam dunk become fodder for ESPN analysts who pointed out that white guys really can’t jump.But they sure can shoot lights out.

Where is the diversity?
Where is the diversity?

BYU is chastised for its lack of diversity constantly, as this Sports Illustrated article on University of Utah football coach Kyle Whittingham attacked the school for being, well, too white:

To get them there, Utah recruiters often must battle preconceived notions about the state. Before senior Shaky Smithson became a star returner at Utah (he leads the nation in punt returns, with 23.3 yards per touch), he was a star receiver and returner at East Los Angeles Community College. He was guarded when Utah’s coaches first tried to woo him. He had visited a friend in Provo and been turned off by its lack of diversity. Persuaded that Salt Lake was different, Smithson took a visit. “It was a big eye-opener,” he says. “Lot of restaurants, lot of clubs. There’s a lot to do here, and the people, they accept you with open arms.”

While BYU remains one of the nation’s most monochromatic teams, Whittingham takes pleasure in pointing out that his is “the most diverse program in the country.” A third of the Utes are white, a third African-American, a third Polynesian. Half are Mormon. Some are married, and some are married with children. “The beautiful thing about this team,” Bergstrom says, “is that we’re diverse, yet we can make fun of our differences and nobody gets upset about it.”

If you are a parent reading this who has a talented white son that excels at football or basketball, consider sending them out west to schools like Colorado State, BYU, the Air Force Academy, Wyoming, Boise State, Montana (Division FCS), Rice, Stanford or a university that will play white athletes and offer a program such as Florida basketball does.

Go where white players get the chance to play . The Southeastern Conference (SEC) equals 12 PWI schools (all with more than 85 percent white enrollment) that have football teams comprised of more than 65 percent Black athletes in football and 85 percent in basketball. Do they graduate? Who cares as long as they win games and championships!

If your kids play baseball, well, every college baseball program is overwhelmingly white.

When you breakdown the decline of the United States, sports offer a direct window into how small, incremental changes through integration allowed positive images of Black people to percolate slowly into the white American mind. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: sports offer the primary positive examples of Black people in America. Jimmer and other talented white athletes threaten these images by showing that white players can compete at levels at or exceeding the talent of Black players.

Now when sports fans see Jimmer Ferdette of BYU dominating a basketball game, they immediately laugh at his talents because they have conditioned to believe the only legitimate form of basketball is played by Black players.

They experience a form of cognitive dissonance watching a white guy perform at levels that exceed that of even the best Black player. Because, after all, basketball is a Black man’s game.

Just don’t tell that to Jimmer. Or Peyton Hillis.

Stuff Black People Don’t Like includes Jimmer Fredette, yet another great white hope in basketball who will be surrounded by nine or ten Black players on his NBA team that will undoubtedly treat him like Pistol Pete was by the Hawks.

You can bet the Utah Jazz will try and draft him.

Until then, he provides every white sports fan with an image of what white basketball actually looks like.

This Web site started as a joke, a late-night idea conceived by a number of friends engaged in a conversation on forbidden topics. It’s evolved into something else entirely chronicling a nation in swift, virtually free-fall decline.

Three past entries are in the news again, necessitating a sequel of sorts. They include errant snowballs in Washington D.C.; Naval Academy Standards; and acknowledging Black people’s love of soul food.

Just like the soul food meal at NBC headquarters last February for Black History Month, the honoring of Black people through a meal of chicken and waffles seemed a good idea at the University of California-Irvine. However this meal broke one of the primary rules of Black Run America (never publicly acknowledge Black stereotypes) though the popular TV show Man vs. Food has showcased a popular Atlanta restaurant serving the exact items.

The offending meal will regrettably cause many heads to roll:

Students at the University of California-Irvine were irked when an on-campus dining facility served fried chicken and waffles in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, reports the Daily Pilot.

The dinner came on the first night of the campus’s 28th annual Martin Luther King Jr. symposium.

Although university representative Cathy Lawhon acknowledged that the decision to link the foods with MLK’s name was insensitive, she said that the chef in question would not face disciplinary action from the university.

Lawhon said the Jan. 17 dinner was “put together at the last minute,” according to the Los Angeles Times.

Regardless of intent, some students were offended by the nod to the culinary stereotype. “It’s just another in a long line of small events on our campus that aren’t meant to be taken in a certain way, but are at least questionable in their cultural legitimacy,” Black Student Union director of communications John Murillo III told the Times.

The Times reports that dining service providers Aramark said they will offer cultural sensitivity training for chefs and managers in light of the event.

No word on if Flava Flav’s new chicken restaurant in Iowa will cause patron’s to engage in a random Beat Whitey riot.

Cafeteria managers, restaurant owners and any working in the food service industry be forewarned: do not promote stereotypical Black food dishes near any holiday that celebrates a Black figure or Black history month. It will be seen as painting Black people in a negative light, which can never occur in Black Run America.

It should be noted that out of 26,000 students, Cal-Irvine has roughly 550 Black students (or two percent of the undergraduate enrollment).

If snow and cold weather are among Black people’s worst nightmare, errant snowballs represent weaponized projectiles of frosty doom for the person who dares throw the missile. Just ask this Washington D.C. citizen who was hit with an errant snowball:

Tossing a snowball almost cost a man his life in Lake Ridge.

Tyree Merle Alexander, 40, was arrested early Thursday morning after he sliced another man’s neck with a box cutter, Prince William County police said.

Alexander was shoveling snow around 4 a.m. Thursday on the 3800 block of Core Place in Lake Ridge. Authorities said Alexander was hit by a snowball thrown by a 23-year-old Woodbridge man. An argument ensued between the two, ending when Alexander produced a blade and cut his victim, police said.

Occupants of a nearby house came outside and began fighting with Alexander. The fracas was broken up when police arrived and took Alexander in to custody.

The victim was airlifted to a nearby hospital with life threatening injuries, but is expected to survive.

Unlike the Washington D.C Black detective who brought a gun to a snowball fight, this guy brought a knife. Errant snowballs and Black people don’t mix.

The Naval Academy has been in the news of late, with a Black, high ranking Navy officer proclaiming diversity as the future of the maritime force. The only way to achieve this glorious vision is to lower Naval Academy (and Coast Guard Academy) standards, with the previous requirements for admittance a precarious task for Black students.

Bruce Fleming, a professor at the Academy, pointed out the absurdity of diluting the officer pool with the poisonous, toxic idea of diversity and created a minor controversy in 2009. Now, he’s back with a vengeance:

Fleming wrote a piece last year exposing the fact that the USNA had a “two-tiered” system of admission that was designed to bring more minorities into the academy. (Since access to the full article has expired, reporting on the article is available here.) And he began speaking to academy alumni about the lower standards.

We’ll do anything to get non-white students,” he said, in order to appear more diverse and improve the football team. According to Fleming, the admissions system is two-tiered because minority candidates have lower test scores and grades than their counterparts. In short, Fleming says that the Academy is rejecting better qualified white applicants to admit minority candidates with less impressive credentials. The USNA has been very aggressive on the affirmative action front in recent years. In 2009, Adm. Gary Roughead, the chief of naval operations, went so far as to say that “diversity is the No. 1 priority” at the academy. (Gee, I guess training warriors and officer’s is now #2).

But Fleming,who has served on the academy’s admissions board, goes even further. While white applicants are required to secure a nomination by a member of congress or other federal official, minority candidates are sometimes given what he calls “a pro forma nomination to make it legit.”

But it gets even worse . As the Associated Press reports:

“Fleming told The Associated Press that midshipmen who struggle are given easier coursework or unlimited tutoring, breeding resentment among students who expected to get a first-rate education along with their military training. The environment is particularly toxic for talented black midshipmen, he said, because they are perceived by some classmates as less-qualified.

‘My students are disillusioned beyond belief,’ Fleming said. ‘They see people being coddled for political reasons or racial reasons or sports reasons.’

The result, he said, is a watered-down officer corps that weakens the military. Navy leaders haven’t fully articulated their reasoning for wanting more minority officers, he said.
‘What I hear is, what the enlisted people want is an officer who won’t get them killed,’ he said.”

The Navy apparently doesn’t care for Fleming’s honesty. Even though he was recommended for a merit pay increase by his supervisors, it was denied by the Navy brass. So Fleming filed a complaint. While he cannot discuss the details, he says that he is very satisfied with the result.

We learned in the Fort Hood shooting that diversity can never be the casualty of any event that transpires in Black Run America, because an increasing of diversity is the primary goal of every institution in BRA. Regardless of the consequences, diversity is the primary goal, equating to a replacement of qualified individuals with unqualified Black people possessing a collectivist mentality.

The United States military (save Special Forces and Air Force pilots) is a testament to this philosophy. Who are we fooling; every institution in America is a testament to this philosophy whether government, academic or private sector.

BRA will collapse into itself clinging desperately to the prevailing ideology of egalitarianism, with every television channel broadcasting propitiations to a belief system that no one ever believed in the first place save those sociopathic enough to compete for positions of power.

There’s nothing to laugh at anymore. World Star Hip Hop (the best Black Web site) broadcasts the unvarnished, uncensored truth of the growing Black underclass and people commenting at the stories posted there that highlight atrocious behavior find humor in the visual proceedings they watch.

In short, you need to understand what we write here is not hate, but a delineation of Hate Facts.

And concealing Hate Facts from normal Americans is a task even the hardened gatekeeper and battle-tested censor is incapable of succeeding at today.

Superman!! Where are you?
Superman!! Where are you?

Does anyone see the inherent contradiction in two stories that have galvanized the nation this week? You have a school that has had huge disparity in white and Black test scores that believes segregating students by race in homeroom and giving them Black mentors will by osmosis grant them the ability to perform better on tests. Then you have the ultimate tale of woe, a Black mother living in government housing who sends her kids to a white school so that they can get a better education.

The story from Pennsylvania of homeroom segregation:

A high school has defended its decision to segregate students by race and gender.

The scheme, at McCaskey East High School in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, separates black students from the rest of the school pupils, and then further breaks it down into black females and black males.

The separation is only for a short period – six minutes each day and 20 minutes twice a month – but it has drawn criticism for raising the spectre of racial segregation.
Today the school’s principal defended the policy.

Bill Jimenez said the school noticed that black students were not performing as well as other students, and that research had shown that same-race classes with strong same-race role models led to better academic results…

He told Lancasteronline.com: ‘One of the things we said when we did this was, “Let’s look at the data, let’s not run from it. Let’s confront it and see what we can do about it”.’

The idea came from Angela Tilghman, an instructional coach at McCaskey East.

She said statistics had shown about a third of McCaskey’s African-Americans scored proficient or advanced in reading on last year’s Pennsylvania System of School Assessment tests, compared with 60 per cent of white students and 42 per cent of students overall.

In mathematics, only 27 per cent of black students scored proficient or advanced.

These Black kids aren’t doing that great by attending an integrated are they? There scores are consistent with Black scores nationwide. So what does the Black mother of two Black children living in government housing think is going to happen by sending her kids from the ghetto of Akron to a better (better is an educational synonym for white) school district?

Will they magically find that Waiting for “Superman” produces better educational results there, surrounded by white pupils?:

Ohio mother of two Kelley Williams-Bolar was released from jail on Wednesday after serving nine days for falsifying records so that her two daughters could attend a better school.

Williams-Bolar was convicted by a jury of using her father’s address to claim residency status that would allow her children to attend a higher-performing suburban school.

While her sentence was light in terms of jail time, Williams-Bolar was put on probation for two years and ordered to complete 80 hours of community service. The conviction may threaten her ability to get the teaching license she was working on.

According to NPR,

And the judge felt strongly enough about it in this case that the judge has written a letter to the State Department of Education saying this woman has no record, please don’t make this a reason to pull her license.

The case has struck a cord across the nation with many sympathetic to the struggle of a mother trying to get the best education for her children. The racial undertones of Williams-Bolar’s case have also not gone unnoticed.

Syracuse University Professor Boyce Watkins, who has written about the case, told HLN,

“I felt that the sentence was draconian and really, the case of Kelley WIlliams-Bolar, it’s such a microcosm of everything that is wrong with America when it comes to access to educational quality, when it comes to economic inequality and when it comes to inequality in the criminal justice system.”

Although many parents lie about residency, Williams-Bolar’s case is unique because other parents never land in court. According to NPR, the mother fought to keep her children in the school, while other Ohio parents quickly removed their children from the school if they were confronted by district officials over residency issues.

The United States of America, for roughly 50 – 60 years, has been built upon a lie. The educational system in the United States spends more on education and per pupil than any other nation on earth. While white students and Asians perform at levels that would rank the country among the elite, an anchor scrapping the bottom of a sadly destitute and bleak academic ocean pulls the overall score down.

Parents move their children to “better” neighborhoods and school districts, in the hopes of removing their kids from a bad element that curiously gets in more disciplinary problems at an astonishing rate. Property value in these Whitopia’s is tied directly to the school system and when that system harbors to many Black students those white families that can will move away in search of that elusive white whale, the “better” school district.

Williams-Bolar thought that by sending her kids to a “better” school district they would post higher scores on reading, math and science aptitude tests. Such is not the case, as the pernicious racial gap in learning is a persistent beast haunting the educational-equality dreams of all Disingenuous White Liberals. In Wake County, North Carolina, forced busing to achieve economic equality is coming to an end:

IN RALEIGH, N.C. The sprawling Wake County School District has long been a rarity. Some of its best, most diverse schools are in the poorest sections of this capital city. And its suburban schools, rather than being exclusive enclaves, include children whose parents cannot afford a house in the neighborhood.

But over the past year, a new majority-Republican school board backed by national tea party conservatives has set the district on a strikingly different course. Pledging to “say no to the social engineers!” it has abolished the policy behind one of the nation’s most celebrated integration efforts.

And as the board moves toward a system in which students attend neighborhood schools, some members are embracing the provocative idea that concentrating poor children, who are usually minorities, in a few schools could have merits – logic that critics are blasting as a 21st-century case for segregation.

One would assume that a sensible idea is having kids attend schools in the neighborhood that their parents live in, instead of riding buses for hours a day to achieve some sort of economic balance. One group in the south receives a disproportionate amount of free lunches in school, so this policy would be virtually impossible to implement in most states.

It’s time to end the insanity. What is in front of our eyes is a truth that once powered the United States; now we are powered by a force that desires locating the next top NASA engineers from a racial group completely deficient in the area of scientific competence.

You can only laugh when you read the story of segregation in Pennsylvania to try and improve Black scores, while they already attend school with white students. Juxtapose that with a Black woman living in government housing in Akron sending her kids to a “better” – ahem, white – school system in the vain hope that it may improve their test scores.

The hysteria of these stories shows how powerful Disingenuous White Liberals (DWLs) are right now, though they send their children to private schools far removed from the crumbling Black underclass.

But for those paying attention (H/T as always to Steve Sailer), the gaping holes in the primary notion holding Black Run America (BRA) together – coerced equality – is breaking apart.

In the next five years, if trends continue unabated, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) will be forced off of television. Highlighting movies from a bygone era, littered with faces whiter than the ones nominated for the 2011 Academy Awards, this channel operates in direct conflict with the new regime dominating us today – Black Run America (BRA).

Seeing films that pay tribute to a time before integration (what we call Pre-Obama America) is just too much to stomach for 21st century Americans – Disingenuous White Liberals (DWLs) and Black people alike – since they glorify a nation that treated Black people as second class citizens.

Every movie made that fails to showcase diversity in a positive light will be remade, more than likely starring Jaden and Willow Smith. The son and daughter of box-office star Will Smith, Jaden already remade The Karate Kid and Willow will star in a remake of the beloved play about an orphan named Annie .
No word yet on whether a white couple will portray the adoptees in the film or if it will be a white Hollywood actress in need of a cool, chic accessory.

Black kids need positive examples of Black people to emulate and movies might improve Black people’s self-esteem knowing that they could grow up to be stars too (though most Black kids grow up believing they can make a living in professional sports, something that many professional Black athletes fail to end up doing).

Watching movies that lionize a stifling world of rigid conformity and banal whiteness, Black people in America can no longer endure the sights of movies that run on TCM. As we learned in 1954 with a fictional Doll Study used to justify low self-esteem among Black children – which helped ensure the Supreme Court ruling in favor of Brown in that landmark case ending segregation – it vital that we do nothing to damage Black people’s self-worth.

Perpetuating images of a happy, prosperous America before integration – as TCM does – can no longer be allowed, for it might destroy Black people and their self-esteem. If poor test scores, high dropout rates, disproportionate crime rates, being incubators for sexual transmitted diseases, poor credit scores, a net-worth of $5 dollars for single Black mothers, a horrible track record for running major metropolitan cities and once prosperous counties, and white flight occurring once a few Black families move into the neighborhood doesn’t impact Black self-esteem negatively, nothing will.

Many have argued that seeing positive examples of Black people in academic settings will improve Black children’s test scores in science, math and English/ reading comprehension, areas that need drastic improvement if the vocational goals for Blacks are to exceed being a barber.

It was stated the Mein Obama would have a positive influence on Black people and radically improve the scholastic achievements of Black students. The election of a half-white dude to the Oval Office has proven to offer no quantifiable improvements in Black student’s performance, though the rate that Black students are disciplined in schools has risen dramatically.

We’ve already said it before: Black people love being Black. They see nothing wrong with how they act, what they wear and how the world views them. In fact they are shocked when private businesses enact dress codes or deny them entry, cities enact curfews and society demands obedience to laws that seem to prey upon Black people only.

Every racial group in America – even DWLs – realize that housing prices plummet when Black people move near; that school districts measure of effectiveness rise and fall with the amount of Black enrollment; and that malls and businesses shutter once they go Black (they never come back).
Every group, that is, save Black people:

In 2002, Jennifer Crocker and Jean Twenge conducted a “meta-analysis of studies of self-esteem.” They intended to discover which American ethnic group would score the highest on a self-esteem test. They also wanted to identify how each group’s self-esteem ranked in comparison to how positively society regarded that group. The researchers proceeded by making 712 self-esteem comparisons among five ethnic groups: Native Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, African Americans and European Americans.

The outcomes surprised Crocker and Twenge. They learned that African Americans scored the highest in the self-esteem category, but ranked last in the area of Society’s Positive Regard for the group. They concluded that African Americans consistently make positive statements about themselves even though society does not view them positively. European Americans were second, Latinos third, Native Americans fourth, and Asian Americans were last. Asian Americans’ ranking surprised the researchers because, outside of European Americans, the other groups hold them in high regard.

This is a Black world now, despite continued Black failures in high school, college, law bar exams and a complete reliance on the government for jobs and entitlements. It’s becoming obvious that this world can’t last forever, but one would never gather this from observing studies that discuss rates of self-esteem among Black people.

The belief that movies should reflect greater diversity and that a re-writing of actual history to conform to a pleasant Afrocentricism worldview is necessary to improve Black people’s self-esteem and ultimately destroy the racial gap in achievement belies the facts:

Indeed, black students enrolled in Afrocentric educational programs receive a full-course diet in self-esteem enhancement, all of it positioned on the shaky theoretical ground that injecting racial pride into black children will help them overcome obstacles to academic success.

But again, the value of self-esteem for black children is highly questionable, even if it does not come packaged in Afrocentrism.

Self-esteem theory made its first dramatic impact upon American schools in 1954, when the Supreme Court accepted that school segregation damaged the self-esteem of African-American children in its Brown v. Board of Education ruling. Low self-esteem, the Court said, “affects the motivation of a child to learn, and has a tendency to retard children’s educational and mental development.” According to Barbara Lerner, this proposition makes three questionable assumptions about blacks: (1) Low self-esteem is the major cause of low academic achievement; (2) Blacks have a lower self-esteem than whites; and (3) Changing white attitudes toward blacks will raise black self-esteem. Taken together, these faulty notions provide the reasoning behind the current repudiation of high standards and expectations in our public schools.

In reality, black children at the same grade level and in the same school system as white children display a higher sense of self-esteem. African Americans usually report “slightly higher levels of agreement with statements about taking a positive attitude toward oneself, judging oneself to be a person ‘of worth,’ and being generally satisfied with oneself.”

Studies also show that, like whites, enhancement of global self-concept is not a potent intervention for academic improvement for African-American adolescents.22 Stanley Rothman and his colleagues at Smith College’s Center for the Study of Social and Political Change found that while the self-esteem levels of blacks are now at least as high as those of whites, the average academic attainment among African-American students is still below that of whites. They conclude that the evidence “appears to show quite conclusively that the low self-esteem hypothesis is neither a necessary nor sufficient explanation of African-American achievement levels.”

Black people see nothing wrong with Antoine Dodson, YouTube videos that display fights in public places and in fact glorify them at such places as World Star Hip Hop, a vast compendium glorifying Black achievement.

Atlantic monthly reported that in 30 years, all Black women will be considered morbidly obese. One wonders if the extra layers of skin will have any impact on their psychological well being, since Black women have some of the highest of self-esteem in the world:

African-American women will say positive things about themselves that Caucasian women are not comfortable with saying about themselves (Dent 1).

Rushton found that African-American women have equal or higher self-esteem levels then Caucasians or Latinos (Rushton 9). Gray-Little found that not only African-American adult women have higher self-esteem than Caucasian women but the same is true in children and adolescents (Gray-Little 17). Abba supports the idea that African-American’s hold higher self-esteem standings throughout life (Abbas 2). Differences in self-esteem between African-American women and Caucasian’s are less during childhood years and grow to adulthood (Twenge 1).

One study (found here) states that a conclusive link to why Black people have higher self-esteem cannot be determined. Indeed scientists studying the high rates of Black self-esteem have been befuddled in attempts at ascertaining why such rates exist, when empirical evidence for this belief is obviously non-existent.

The United States of America has been forced to lower standards in every profession (militarily, law, medical, academia, police, firefighters) at the private and public level to accommodate Black people’s inability to perform at the same level of whites, yet they maintain a higher level of self-esteem then Asians who outperform even white people.

Entire counties outside of major metropolitan areas that were once prosperous and white have been ceded to Black people and new counties further from these cities have become havens, enclaves for whites (and Asians) who desire a high standard of living.

DWLs price Black people out of living in their cities, yet utilize their relationship as the guardians of Blacks to position themselves as morally superior to untouchable whites.

Through it all, Black people maintain the highest rates of self-esteem while also maintaining the highest rates of unemployment, incarceration and contributing to the continued decline in educational standards despite the highest rates of educational spending in the world.

White kids and Asians don’t participate in Waiting for Superman , a task left to the Crusading White Pedagogues and their Black students.

All of the classic movies that are on TCM will one day be remade, with Black faces thankfully subbing for the smiling, ethereal white faces. Like the Soviet Union who once airbrushed pictures of people who had fallen out of favor with the Communist party, Black Run America will begin airbrushing out of United States history all memories of Pre-Obama America.

Black test scores won’t improve. Black-run cities, counties, schools and local governments will continue to crumble and when Black people flee what they have wrought and enter white enclaves, white people will move away, perpetuating this absurd tale.

And through it all Blacks will still have the highest rates of self-esteem…

Editor’s note: Posts on self-esteem and shame are delayed for one more day.

Everyone loves movies. The escapism offered by viewing a film grants us the opportunity to visit exotic locations and live vicariously through glamorous actors and actresses. Computer Generated Images (CGI) – produced almost entirely by white people – have led to such films as Avatar , the entire Pixar resume of films and countless action movies, allowing directors (almost all white) to utilize scripts (written almost exclusively by white people) that will eventually be scored beautifully by composers (almost all white) while actors and actresses (with few prominent roles going to Black actresses) work their magic in front of the camera.

Watching movies (and television), one would imagine the United States still has a population that is 90 percent white, as it did in the mid-1960s. Though token Black characters appear in movies cast as characters without historical equals (sometimes in situations that have no historical precedent or basis in fact), Hollywood remains an institution teemed in an astounding whiteness.

Traditionally the embodiment of the most progressive, Stuff White People Like (SWPL), Disingenuous White Liberal (DWL) mindset and agenda, Hollywood is tragically stuck in a situation where they must market their movies to the rest of America. Because of the scholastic shortcomings and ineptitude of Black people, vocations such as director, screenwriter, producer, composer and the small armies of support staff that work on the production of films are overwhelming white.

You aren’t handed jobs in life, you earn them, which is a contradictory concept to our entitled Black friends.

Whenever a Black director, screenwriter, composer, actor or actress comes along and woes Hollywood, critics (most of whom are white and rabidly DWL) and the American public, they will be pushed to the moon, regardless of their portfolio.

It is a constant, deafening refrain come awards season when Hollywood gathers to congratulate itself for producing vapid films of questionable merit and shockingly little entertainment value that the monster of enforced, codified diversity rears its ugly, ever-expanding head.

Hollywood films and television shows preach an undying devotion to the tenets of diversity (glorifying every racial group – save white people – and normalizing every sexual orientation, life-style, etc.) and never fail to pay homage to the concept of Black Run America (BRA), but when Oscar season comes around (and the Emmy’s) few Black people are ever nominated and the Academy Awards voters will be forever castigated if they fail to bestow the Oscar upon that Black person who is nominated.

Take this CNN article, “ Where’s the Diversity at the Oscars ?” which laments the paucity of Black faces up for awards. Isn’t it 2011, not 1951? Where is the progressivism? Certainly not the cabinet of the new Republican Ohio governor, but you’re telling us that a Gabrielle Sidibe film couldn’t be found precious enough to be nominated?

Black actresses have a tough time finding roles that will win them acclaim. It’s been nine years since Black history was made at the 2002 Oscars, when Halle Berry and Denzel Washington both won Oscars. Other than that year, the past 70 years of the Oscars have been nearly monochromatic in their whiteness, with a few token Blacks winning every now and then to maintain the mirage of diversity.

What does that CNN article say?:

After the Academy Awards ceremony in 2010, there was a great deal of hope that the glass ceiling had finally been shattered in Hollywood.

“The Kathryn Bigelow” effect was coined by some industry observers who believed that her win for “The Hurt Locker,” the first Oscar for a woman director, would open doors of opportunity for females behind the camera. The riveting film “Precious” yielded a best supporting actress win for African-American performer Mo’Nique, and the first ever statuette for an African-American screenwriter in the best adapted screenplay category went to Geoffrey Fletcher.

But that was last year.

This year there was a decided dearth of diversity in the Oscar nominations. There are no women or people of color among the director nominees, and the acting nominees are all white. Javier Bardem, who is up for best actor for his role in “Biutiful,’ is a Spaniard and therefore European.

Which raises the question: Why in an era of ever increasing diversity among movie audiences is that not being reflected among the nominees for Hollywood’s most prestigious award? Where are the diverse faces both in front of and behind the cameras?

It’s a complex issue that involves both supply and demand.

But historically far fewer meaty dramatic roles, which are beloved by the academy, have been written for or awarded to actors of color, and women behind the camera are greatly outnumbered by men.

“The stories that we would really like to tell usually don’t get greenlit,” said Rocky Seker, a former creative developer for a director with Sony Pictures and now a film curator who runs Invisible Woman … Black Cinema at Large. “We’re just not taken seriously. It’s all a moneymaking issue.”

Both groups also find it difficult to break into the big-budget Hollywood films that garner the attention to carry the momentum needed for nominations. Seker said she often comes across wonderfully made black independent films that just aren’t able to get big-studio backing or distribution deals.

While Debra Granik and Lisa Cholodenko have both received critical acclaim for their turns as directors of “Winter’s Bone” and “The Kids Are All Right,” respectively, their films did not enjoy the same media attention as “Black Swan” or “The Social Network,” whose male directors were nominated. (Granik and Cholodenko both were nominated for their screenwriting efforts.)

Cathy Schulman is a producer of the Oscar-winning film “Crash” and president of Women In Film, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing sexual equality in filmmaking. She said that when there are 10 nominations for best film, but only five director nominees, invariably it means someone will be slighted.

“On the one hand, I am very encouraged to see that there are women sprinkled throughout most of the categories, with the continued strength as we’ve seen before in art direction, in music and in other areas that we have consistently seen a strength in,” Schulman said. “What does disappoint is the lack of women in the writer, director, producer roles and some of the other key departments like cinematography and editorial, though there is one woman, Pamela Martin, who has been nominated for editorial (for “The Fighter”) and that is certainly well-deserved.”

Martha Lauzen, executive director of the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University, said, “There are lots of reasons at both the individual level as well as the industry level that converge to suppress diversity both on the screen and behind the scenes.”

Lauzen added, “The film industry does not exist in a vacuum; it is part of a larger culture, and our attitudes about gender and race are extremely deeply held. Those attitudes don’t change overnight or with an Oscar win.”

Hollywood and television have the ability to completely shape public opinion, steering debates on key issues any which way they desire. It is movies and television (plus sports) that have provided the bulk of positive (wholly fictional) examples of Black people, and it is through this medium that beloved stars like Will Smith, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington and Jamie Foxx have become household names.

We have reached a point in Black Run America (BRA) where we have been trained to see Black people prominently in movies, television and sports, so that when they don’t appear racism is only acceptable culprit. The absence of Black people in any situation, whether it be vocation, avocation, awards ceremony or in academia can only be attributed to racism.

This is how the DWL mind thinks and increasingly all minds in America.

That the Oscars lack any Black nominees for Best Actor and Actress, Supporting Actor and Actresses, Director or for any discernable characters in Best Picture translates to unrepentant racism on the part of an entire industry that has been solely dedicated the complete, methodical destruction of anything resembling Pre-Obama America for the past 50 years (just take a look at Black Fictional Heroes).

Here at Stuff Black People Don’t Like , we don’t hide the fact that we love movies. It is obvious that movies and television have provided ample opportunities to promote agendas that would never, ever be accepted without careful behavioral modification placed in the story-lines (just check out White Dog if you don’t believe us).

It’s just fitting that an entire industry is now thrown under the proverbial bus for not placating Black actors and actresses and the spattering of Black directors, screenwriters, producers, composers, animators, special effects designers, etc., enough.

A beast of monumental proportions has been unleashed in America. Black Run America (BRA) has made us so dependent on Black people that anytime a dearth of them are present, we feel racism is the only logical explanation for this situation.

Yes, you can see too
Yes, you can see too

You can’t address any of the problems in America – whether increasing or decreasing taxation, improving education (its working pretty good for whites and Asians), stopping manufacturing companies and white collars jobs from being outsourced, improvements in transportation and cutting the size of government – without addressing that white elephant in the room, Black people.

Government payrolls are filled with otherwise unemployable Black people, an entire middle-class created because private companies can only hire so many diversity enforcers. Take a look at Prince Georges County to see the ability of these Black people once they are left to their own devices.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ( EEOC) makes it virtually impossible for a company to operate, without fear of being questioned for under-employing obviously under-qualified Black people. Companies that could employ Americans then move overseas to China, India or other nations where millions, sometimes billions of higher qualified people work completely devoid of the fear of violating someones civil rights.

Does Stuff Black People Don’t Like believe in the American Dream? No, we believe in the Pre-Obama American Dream. We believe in a restoration of The Manifest Destiny.

We reject liberalism completely. We reject the belief in equality completely. Those who question the concept of equality are always called “close-minded” or “ignorant.” Imagine if you were an alien new to earth, seeing the world for the first time. Would you honestly surmise that the gross differences in standard-of-living between the United States, Western Europe, China and Japan versus the continent of Africa and Haiti (and any area within the United States with a majority Black population) was due to anything but inequality?

The amount of lying it takes to create a worldview where someone can convince themselves that equality is factual is tantamount to an undying devotion to the belief that the earth is flat.

We believe that for America to succeed and compete on a global scale in the 21st century, an acknowledgment of racial differences in intelligence and ability must occur.

The POTUS 2011 State of the Union was delivered to people who have a steadfast devotion to the perpetuation of the belief in the equality. It’s time to stop lying to ourselves. The world isn’t flat.

No amount of money will ever bridge the racial gap in learning. Companies will continue fleeing in America, because of laws that make the firing of Black people once hired virtually impossible to fire.

It’s time to mention the unmentionable. Race is real. Very real.

Just imagine what you’ll know tomorrow

Nothing should shock us anymore. Nothing.
Nothing should shock us anymore. Nothing.

If you’ve been reading this Web site for awhile now nothing that we post should surprise you. No story of utter depravity should induce shock, no mainstream newspaper article or CNN story bemoaning the lack of Black participation in certain vocations will astonish, and certainly anything construed as a Hate Fact will undoubtedly be further validation of what a simple, honest appraisal of the Black community would surmise.

We have tried to come up with a phrase to describe the totalitarian regime that the United States of America has become, where any and all criticism of Black people must be viciously stamped out. Though Black people do not literally run the government, the government of the United States of America is run for their specific and stated betterment.

That is why the term Black Run America (BRA) has come to play a vital part in this Web sites evolution. No one believes Black people actually run the United States government – though cities and counties that they do run have a tendency to break down completely and lose their accreditation – but the United States government’s main objective is augmenting Black people’s existence for the better.

The media – which unabashedly shapes the public’s opinion and the direction of a debate better than any medium ever created – is firmly controlled by the same governing tenets BRA: thou shall never show Black people in a negative light. The corollary to this rule being: if Black people are shown in less than positive circumstances the culpability for this condition will always fall upon white racism.

Disingenuous White Liberals (DWLs) are firmly in control of every institution (media, government, academia, and the military) and through strenuous effort they ensure that BRA remains unopposed.

Funny: DWL’s live far removed from Black people and actively engage in pricing them out of major cities that will soon be virtually Black free (San Francisco and New York offer prime examples of this).

Nothing shocks us anymore at Stuff Black People Don’t Like . We have read stories from around the country that confirm the veracity of Hate Facts and profiled the collapsing Black underclass that threatens to explode at any moment.

Believe whatever conspiracy you want; the ultimate conspiracy of the 20th century (and 21st century) was the ability by the DWLs who run BRA to create an atmosphere where toleration for the proliferation of the Black underclass – and the morals of that community – became viable.

Primarily through sports, positive images of Black people permeated into the living rooms of all classes in America who otherwise would never, ever interact with Blacks. Where America once had Roger Staubach as a hero, we now have Michael Vick.

If BRA did not exist, positive images of Black people through sports would still be plentiful, but these would be juxtaposed with the reality of the Black underclass where the majority of these athletes call home.

No one dares point out that the problems of Black people are largely self-perpetuating, and those like Bill Cosby who bring attention to the massive problems within that community are tragically castigated by the same people he is attempting to help.

This quote personifies the power of the media (television, commercials and film) and how BRA has been palatably packaged in a non-threatening way:

“The American motion picture is the greatest unconscious carrier of propaganda in the world today. It is a great distributor for ideas and opinions. The motion picture can standardize the ideas and habits of a nation. Because pictures are made to meet market demands, they reflect, emphasize and even exaggerate broad popular tendencies, rather than stimulate new ideas and opinions. The motion picture avails itself only of ideas and facts which are in vogue. As the newspaper seeks to purvey news, it seeks to purvey entertainment.”

– Edward Bernays, Propaganda

BRA thrives on propaganda with the creation of Black Fictional Heroes (February 2011 is approaching for new inductions into this growing pantheon) in both film and television comprising a vital component of manufacturing positive images of Black people through actors and actresses in popular roles.

Just remember this: the plan for the creation of BRA is not new. It has been around for quite some time. Without the positive images of sports, there is no deflection from the endless stories of criminality, cop killings and fast food meltdowns that Black people seem to constantly find themselves participating in on a daily basis.

Over the past 50 years, the media has put out movie after movie, sitcom after sitcom and commercial after commercial that has helped manufacture a false paradigm where Black people in America reside in a happy, whitopia-style existence. Academia has done everything in its power to instill Black pride and create an environment where academic success is viewed as acting white (though SAT, ACT and every standardized test result would seem to validate this view).

And through 50 years of propaganda, white people still have no desire to live anywhere near Black people or send their kids to school with a population of Black children that is nearly 3/4th’s illegitimate. It is Black people who desire living around white people, sending their kids to school districts they do not live in or demanding forced busing.

TV shows and movies might showcase an inauthentic and fabricated view of the Black community, but YouTube and the Internet continually deflate this carefully constructed image with crushing finality. Take these two stories from IHOP and Wendy’s, two restaurants that have decided to implement McDonald’s 365Black moniker with stunning efficiency.

First, from the International House of Pancakes courtesy of Orangeburg, South Carolina, a group of Black people decide to riot after someone ostensibly suggests leaving a 15 percent tip:

A Midlands restaurant’s parent companyis reviewing video of a fight in its dining room to determine how to make the dining experience safer for its patrons.A spokesperson for International House of Pancakessays corporate leaders are looking at a video posted on YouTubeshowing an out of control early morning crowd at its Orangeburg location early Saturday morning.The cell phone video shows punches flying, drinks being thrown and tables and chairsbeing knocked over inthe diningroom at the IHOP on NorthRoad.Thetwo minuteclip starts out with an unidentified woman yelling “I ride the ride! I ride the ride!”Then she yells “Back off! Back off!” and punches start flying.The video is unsettling to some Orangeburg residents. “It bothers me that my mother, my family could be out trying to enjoy a simple meal,” said Eric Collins. “It makes you wonder… Am I going to be next? Am I going to get caught in this?”During the brawl, a man with a black jacket with “security” written on the back attempts to break up the fight, but the punching and name calling continues.Later in the videoa man can be swinging what looks like a cane at an unidentified woman. That same man is seen at the end of the video walking toward the door of the restaurant claiming he ‘hasn’t done anything.’Kenneth Collier and his goddaughter are embarrassed the video is getting attention on the Internet. “It just make us look bad, ignorant, all of the above,” said Collier.”It’s just ridiculous.””I don’t see how you can talk about kids acting the way they do. When grown-ups acting like that. I just don’t understand,” said Collier. “I guess they’relooking for a reality show.”

This scene reminds us of that infamous brawl in Florida, the primary variable connecting each disparate story is the presence of Black people.Next we have Wendy’s, a restaurant famous for donating large portions of income to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. In keeping with the adopted theme of 365Black that all restaurants – save Chick-fil-A – have incorporated, Black people frequenting a Wendy’s in Queens decided an impromptu brawl was needed to add diversity to the restaurant:

A fight broke out at a Wendy’s in Queens Village, leaving one of the workers seriously injured. The disturbing scene from inside the Wendy’s was captured on a phone on Friday. In the video, you can see the cashier get pummeled to the ground by teenage girls.A Wendy’s employee told Fox 5 that it started with one girl attacking the woman and a large group of them jumped in and punched her. The worker said it all began when the group started fighting and throwing food. She was behind the counter when her co-worker walked over to try and stop them, she said.The woman who was attacked suffered a concussion and is currently unable to work.Two of the teens have been identified by school officials as students at Martin van Buren High School, which is just down the block. School officials said they are working closely with the NYPD to investigate the incident.

The Wendy’s franchise director, Louis Meyer, released a statement that read in part: “This vicious attack on our female employee was shocking and uncalled for. We are cooperating with the police in their investigation and our security camera data and anything else they request will be provided to them.”

These stories no longer shock us at SBPDL. That 11 cops were murdered in a 24 hour across America is not shocking to us (that the suspect’s pictures have been primarily hidden in all cases is incriminating enough evidence to prove that Thug Report will be called upon show us the killers photos).

A name is needed to describe the situation that we find ourselves living through in 2011 America. We have come up with Black Run America (BRA), a term that does not mean Black people necessarily run America, but that America has been rebuilt to the benefit of Black people solely (DWLs profit from positioning themselves as the ultimate saviors of Black people).

One thing is certain: a society built upon lies cannot last forever. Fifty-plus years of intense propaganda have ultimately failed, with sports remaining the last line of defense in keeping the concept of BRA alive.
The scenes of savagery at IHOP and Wendy’s punctuate vividly why DWL’s are pricing out the Black underclass from their centers of operations in New York City, San Francisco, Austin, Boulder, Portland and Seattle (Washington D.C and Atlanta are slowly but surely next).

The scenes of savagery at IHOP and Wendy’s have unquestionably been e-mailed hundreds of thousands of times, viewed by millions. As OneSTDV stated brilliantly: YouTube: bringing private moments of HBD to the masses since 2005.

It’s time to get back to the # posts at Stuff Black People Don’t Like , but know this: the ranks of those who can see grow by the second, by the minute and by the day.

Enabled by the election of Mein Obama, Black people feel compelled to “act a fool” with a callous disregard for the consequences since a Black man is president.Black people love being Black, which translates simply to this: they have no shame.

Knowing this, nothing should surprise you anymore either.

The world of “Idiocracy” creeps closer by the day
The world of “Idiocracy” creeps closer by the day

Didn’t we just talk about abortion? Facebook post on deadbeat dad i nfuriates deadbeat father of 23:

Larry Luther didn’t see the Facebook post by a Terrebonne Parish child-support hearing officer about a barroom bouncer appearing before him who has 23 children and “too much time on his hands.”

But people who read a Courier and Daily Comet story containing questions about the posting’s propriety had little trouble determining who the posting was about and called Luther to tell him.

Now the 41-year-old grandfather says he is preparing to file a Louisiana Judiciary Commission complaint against the hearing officer, William Dunckelman.

“I am waiting on the papers in the mail,” Luther said Friday night. “I am doing it for future purposes, for people in the future so that their things will be privately handled and what is in court stays in court.”

Dunckelman has de-activated the Facebook page that includes the post, which never mentioned Luther by name but which judicial-ethics experts say likely crossed acceptable lines of conduct such judges are obligated by law to uphold.

“Just had a fellow leave child support court. He works as a bouncer and has twenty-three (23) children!,” the post reads. “Of course he gets paid cash and thus pays no (0) taxes. I think he needs another job as he has way too much time on his hands! What do you think?”

What Luther thinks is that the post has negative and unfair implications. His two youngest children are 3 years old. There are three 14-year-olds and the rest are in their upper teens and in their 20s. He fathered his oldest child when he himself was 17.

“Even with the number of children I have, I am a very supportive father,” Luther said Friday after calling to tell his side of the story. “Sometimes I have no rest tending to those kids.”

Luther’s Jan. 6 appearance before Dunckelman was in regard to only one of his children. The court got involved after the 3-year-old’s mother, 23-year-old Courtney Danielle Lewis, was arrested in January 2010 on a charge of second- degree cruelty to a juvenile. Authorities alleged she threw the boy against a couch, which resulted in a fractured leg.Luther’s Jan. 6 appearance before Dunckelman was in regard to only one of his children. The court got involved after the 3-year-old’s mother, 23-year-old Courtney Danielle Lewis, was arrested in January 2010 on a charge of second- degree cruelty to a juvenile.

Authorities alleged she threw the boy against a couch, which resulted in a fractured leg.

DAY IN COURT

Luther was not involved in the incident. Because the boy was placed in state custody, the state filed against Luther for child support, resulting in his appearance before Dunckelman.

Luther said his day in court — even without the Facebook posting — was problematic. Dunckelman pronounced in open court that he thought Luther had too much spare time during the day, then ordered child-support payments of $299.25 per month, as well as what the court said were arrears of $52.50.

The dollar amount ordered is not Luther’s primary concern. Rather, he said, it is Dunckelman’s recommendation, written on the support order, that he has trouble with. He also resents that Dunckelman handed him job applications for the Wendy’s and Subway restaurant chains, which he maintains he does not need.

Dunckelman’s recommendation was that Luther perform a job search 10 times per week and that four of the jobs for which he applied be at fast-food restaurants.

“I am a grown man and, I am very supportive,” Luther said. “I am not poor and I do make it. I don’t need him to tell me I need to get a fast-food job as long as my obligations are met.”

Dunckelman himself has expressed regret for the Facebook posting but maintains that his treatment of Luther at the hearing was appropriate.

We have nothing more to say on this story. Black people don’t like child support and they don’t like being called deadbeat fathers. What are you willing to bet all of his children receive free lunches at school?

Remember: The Cosby Effect is just a form of behavioral modification to create a false-paradigm of the Black family. 72 percent of Black children are born out-of-wedlock to father’s with a deep commitment to responsibility like Mr. Luther.

Peyton’s Place was the end zone in 2010, to the chagrin of Black defenders

Without sports, it’s incredibly hard to fathom where positive images would come from in the United States of America. With sports, the concept of Black Run America (BRA) was erected.

Without sports, well, we ask again: How would positive images of Black people be supplied?

We have discussed college football supplying the ultimate opiate to America and the predominately white fan base, alumni of nearly all-white institutions are presented with positive images of Black people wearing their school’s uniforms and colors.

Watching Black people represent their schools is the closest many of these alumni will ever come to interacting with Black people and were it not for the necessity of recruiting Black athletes in conferences like the Southeastern Conference (SEC) for thespeed and size that whites perceive only Blacks can provide, would Michael Oher be just another causality of Black-on-Black in Memphis?

In 2008 a white running back for Louisiana State University named Jacob Hester led that team to the national title. He was ridiculed for being white by nearly all-Black opposing SEC defenses and questioned why he wasn’t playing for the Air Force Academy.

The Air Force Academy, a team whos e former coach once claimed that they needed more Black athletes to compete (Air Force is a school with high academic standards and will not relax them like the Naval Academy to admit more Black students) is a school that looks like Brigham Young University, starting anywhere from 16 – 22 white players at a time.

Lowering standards at major colleges is one of the primary ways to ensure Black athletes can get into school, their grades and standardized scores not on the same level as their athletic ability. This is why Paul Hornung said Notre Dame should lower their standards back in the early 2000 s.

White athletes are perceived to not have the same athleticism as Black athletes, though Black athletes routinely fail to graduate when white athletes excel in the classroom.

Players like Tim Tebow and Toby Gerhart were treated as Great White Hopes for playing and succeeding at positions that have come to be reserved for Black players. Tebow, an athletic quarterback (that term is usually used to describe Black players) was constantly derided for his piety and had his ability questioned by NFL scouts who wondered if they would translate positively into the professional ranks.

Gerhart was just derided for being white, which he believed hindered his draft status in the NFL.

Black people are dominant in two professional sports, comprising 80 percent of the NBA rosters and 70 percent of the NFL rosters. This year however, a white running back named Peyton Hillis ran for more than 1,000 yards for the Cleveland Browns.

He was pressed into service only because of injuries to two other Black running backs (something that happened to Brock Forsey, another white running back who played in only a few games for the Chicago Bears in 2003 and was promptly cut though he gained 134 yards in his only start).

Hillis was one of 2010 legitimate surprises, but he shouldn’t have been. In 2008, he ran the ball with authority in starting tailback for the Denver Broncos, though the franchise would play him sparingly in 2009.

Black people dominance of basketball and football has created a paradigm in sports where Blacks are seen as the ultimate definition of athleticism and anytime a white players succeeds is seen primarily as a fluke. White guys aren’t supposed to run the ball or catch it, positions dominated by Black players at both the collegiate and professional level (running back and receiver – a future SBPDL).

With this, let’s move to an interview Hillis recently gave to Dan Patrick:

Peyton Hillis is sort of a rarity in NFL history — a white tailback. While there have been a few prominent ones, including John Riggins and Larry Csonka, they’re the exception rather than the rule.

On The Dan Patrick Show, Hillis said he heard about it every Sunday.

“Every team did it,” he said. “They’ll say, ‘You white boy, you ain’t gonna run on us today. This is ridiculous. Why are you giving offensive linemen the ball?’

“All kinds of stuff like that you hear on the field, but I use that to my advantage. I kind of soaked it in, ate it up a little bit, because I enjoyed it.”

Hillis said he’s been referred to by nicknames such as “The Avalanche” and “White Rhino.”

He also touched on getting overlooked in Denver and his Cleveland breakout.

“In Denver, they just wanted me to play strictly fullback, nothing else. I wasn’t too happy about the situation, but I was trying to be a team player.

“I just wanted to be on the field. It ended up I didn’t play anything at all.”

He continued: “Coach Mangini came up to me before our first game, against the Buccaneers, and said he could see me being a 1,000-yard back. I never had a coach have that much confidence in me before. He helped me out a whole lot on a mental level.”

Once, Black players were told they weren’t smart enough to be quarterbacks. Now, white athletes are told they can’t play virtually any position save quarterback and offensive line.

Those whites who succeed against the stereotype (all whites are slow, right?) are the fodder of taunts from color-conscious Black athletes shocked that a white guy dares challenge them on the field.

Peyton Hillis proved to the world that more white guys should be getting shots, but that a concerted effort is underway to deny white players opportunities to shine in the NFL (and college football).

Perhaps the reason for this is because BRA needs its soldiers — Black athletes — to provide that steady stream positive images for the opiate-addled masses in order to keep them from realizing the enormity of the massive Black underclass in America that subsists solely on government programs.

Either way, expect those Great White Hopes to continue taking scorn and abuse from the entrenched Black athletes. To these Black athletes who poke fun at Hillis for being white, he represents a 21st century Jackie Robinson.

Funny that players like Danny Woodhead, Jon Kuhn and Toby Gerhart have had major success this year from the running back position in the NFL, just as Hillis has had.

Once Black players were stacked at certain positions, such as corner, flanker and and defensive end. Now the deck is so stacked against white players that when a player like Hillis comes along the racially-conscious Black athletes attempt to put him in his place.

White guys aren’t supposed to run over and around them. That’s not part of the “Black guys dominate sports” paradigm.

(Editors Note: This will be considered the definite statement on what Black Run America – BRA – represents. It’s been alluded to here on this siteon numerous occasions, but never has an entireentrybeen devoted to fully explaining the concept of BRA)

We live in Black Run America
We live in Black Run America

We’ve discussed McDonald’s 365Black campaign. We’ve discussed American Airlines Black Atlas program. Corporate America bends over backwards to placate a population that is merely 13 percent of the United States population (that number could be higher if the regard for life in the womb and outside of the womb were a greater priority in the Black community).

Corporate sponsorship for Web sites like Black Voices, Black Planet and the new Huffington Post Black section, Huff Post Global Black , represent a subsidizing of propaganda for the continuation of Black Run America (BRA), a blank check for uncontested articles to be written that castigate all white people for practicing racism to perpetually keep Black people in a state of disarray:

The Huffington Post and BET co-founder Sheila Johnson are launching a HuffPost section devoted to African-Americans.

The section, “HuffPost GlobalBlack,” is expected to debut in early March. The Huffington Post is set to make an official announcement about the new platform Thursday.

“Our goal is to cover more stories of importance to the black community,” says Arianna Huffington, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of the New York-based Huffington Post.

“We have the supreme irony of having the first African-American president, which is such a historic event and a milestone, while at the same time, conditions for African-Americans are deteriorating, in terms of unemployment, in terms of high school graduation, in terms of the number of African-American males in prisons,” Huffington says.

GlobalBlack is the 27th section for the Huffington Post, but its first racially based one. It plans to soon launch a Latino section.

A February 2010 survey by Edison Research and Arbitron found that about 25 percent of all Twitter users are black, roughly double the percentage of blacks in the U.S. population. About 11 percent of all U.S. Facebook users are black, the social-networking site reports.

A greater percentage of whites than blacks and Latinos have broadband access at home, but laptop ownership is now about even for all these groups.

“In all of this digital space, the African-American voice is really falling off the radar screen,” says Johnson, who sold the Washington D.C.-based Black Entertainment Television to Viacom in 2000. “We’re on other radar screens, with other digital sites, which is wonderful. But I really wanted to bring the real news, the storytelling — to really bring back the voice of the black community on some relevant news and views.”

“We’re going to be able to fill that void,” Johnson adds.

There is a belief held by Black people that every facet of American life is out to get them, that Corporate America, academia, the media, the government (executive, legislative and judicial), and law enforcement are combined in a sinister conspiracy to keep Black people from ever tasting the American dream. Let’s be honest: the so-called Black voice has never been disseminated to such a great extent as it is today. Black Entertainment Television (BET) eloquently presents the modern voice of Black people, and coupled with Black representation on reality TV shows the market is virtually cornered on airing authentic Black voices.

Plus, Cable News Network (CNN) and ESPN (henceforth known as BESPN) are channels devoted exclusively to covering stories from a highly Black perspective.

All the while anyone who dares say that it is Black people and poor decisions made by Black people that keep them in a permanent state of disarray (in America, as well as South Africa, Haiti and wherever they may be found in the world) will be promptly escorted from polite society. Black people cannot be blamed for their poor decisions, namely high illegitimate rates;having high dropout rates in school; high abortion rates; high crime rates; poor credit scores; horrible records of personal health; and, a lack of participation in certain vocations, etc.

People daring to harbor insidious views that dare hold Black people accountable for their decisions have no place in a tolerant, Disingenuous White Liberal (DWL) led society. White guilt is an eternal sin and slavery is a most convenient excuse for the continued decline in all aspects of Black people’s lives (save for sports) and a rational discussion on racial matters will never transpire in America for hate fac ts are not allowed in the arena of accepted parlance in approved BRA discourse.

It would be virtually impossible to find one organization that purports to lobby on behalf of America’s historic majority population that receives funding from a major corporation, though 100 Black Men of America, Inc. receives funding from virtually every Fortune 100 company in the United States:

Despite every manager in everyvocation bending over backward to promote Black people beyond their capabalities (or lowering standards to ensure Black people can actually be considered for the job); despite Hollywood inserting Fictional Black characters in movies to implement behavioral modification in the viewer; despite a media that excuses the mass killings of white people by a Black person because he claimed he was the victim of prejudice; despite a judicial system that actively works to suppress the rights of the historic majority population of America; and despite hundreds of organizations dedicated solely to advancing Black interests that are immune from the charge of “racism”… phew… Black people still believe a concerted effort is underway to keep them under the iron heel of white supremacy.

Disingenuous White Liberals also believe this myth, though it has absolutely no basis in fact. As this Web site has documented, all of the above entities have the expressed desire to push Black people at the expense of the historic American majority population.

Black Run America
Black Run America

Corporate America is in a crisis if Black people aren’t represented sufficiently within their payrolls; colleges and universities with poor Black enrollment can scarcely be called institutions of higher learning (though many of the Blacks at Predominately White Colleges merely attend to play basketball, football and run track); the media refuses to show the face of crime, a task left to Thug Report; and the government is the primary reasons a Black middle class exists, with tax payers paying the salary for a bloated bureaucracy that has a disproportionately Black face.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the reality of Black Run America; a nation where every institution is entirely devoted to protecting and promoting the interests of Black people above all others.

Anyone who dares try and tackle the growing leviathan that is Washington D.C. directly takes on Black Run America (notice how those who dare repeal the Healthcare Bill are tarred and feathered as racist since Black people comprise the bulk of the uninsured in America) since Black people have a vested interest inthe power of government remaining quite high and the continuedredistribution of wealth flowing smoothly.

Just as the gang of 50 Black people who attacked a white family trying to enjoy Independence Day in 2009 said, “This is a Black world.

George Washington was boxed in for a reason on Martin Luther King Day in South Carolina, the delicate sensibilities of Black people always coming first in BRA.

McDonald’s doesn’t need to be 365Black, anymore than an airline needs to introduce a Black Atlas or The Huffington Post needs to introduce a separate Black section (though book stores should still utilize self-segregation techniques to ensure that an African-Americansection can highlight great books by Black authors) for its readers.

Every facet of life is governed by the principals of Black Run America, which means every institution must promote Black interests above all others.

This show was set in Detroit?
This show was set in Detroit?

When attempting to ascertain the ultimate Pre-Obama America television show of the past thirty years, a number of contenders leap to the front immediately.

The saccharine Full House was a show set in San Francisco that implanted a highly positive image of that Stuff White People Like (SWPL) city in the viewers mind, who would be blissfully unaware of what life was actually like on the bay.

In actuality, virtually every sitcom that has aired on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in the past 30 yearscould be considered blissfully unaware of the sweeping societal changes that are transpiring in the real world.

Sure some shows have an agenda,but most exist in a vacuum as if the United States had never undergone such massive demographic changes. Pressure groups have long bemoaned the lack of diversity on network television and in sitcoms, but drastic demographic changes must be pushed slowly so the populace will hardly notice (see Modern Family and Glee). With the cancellation of M.A.N.T.I.S, Black people faced a traumatic setback in the goal of landing another The Cosby Show style hit, a blow they have yet to recover from fully.

This study, Prime Time Now 2001-2002, is a diversity study that documents the gross absence of Black people in sitcoms. It’s now 2011 and the latest network television shows continue to be bathed in a sea of whiteness, an occasionally life boat thrown out to Black actors to ensure such studies won’t be commissioned again.

One television show in the past 30 years can be labeled as the ultimate Pre-Obama America sitcom and it was set in the outskirts of The Motor City, ostensibly in an alternate reality where Black people rarely interact with white people (of course, this is considered the real world).

That show? Home Improvement. Tim Allen’s show about a bumbling tool-man, loving husband and father to three sons is set in a lily-white Detroit suburb and rarely does the harsh reality of life in that Black-run city interfere with his families existence.

A show that also ran on ABC, The Drew Carey Show, was set in Cleveland and many people found the whitewashing of that majority Black city unsettling. Stuff Black People Don’t Like can locate no articles that point out the lack of Black characters in the strange universe Home Improvement was set in, perhaps because anyone from the real Detroit greatly desired living in that fictional world.

Consider the uproar a new ABC show entitled Detroit 1-8-7 is causing, casting that crumbling city in a more realistic, gritty role it serves on a daily basis:

Growing up near Detroit in the ’70s and ’80s, I was jealous of other cities that had their own TV shows. New York City, L.A., Boston, Chicago — even Milwaukee had both Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley. (Milwaukee!) Eventually, Detroit got a few sitcoms (Martin, Home Improvement), but no series ever really explored the dramatic possibilities of this sprawling Rust Belt city.

Cut to the first scene of Detroit 1-8-7, which makes its debut on ABC Sept. 21. A policewoman shows us the homicide-division whiteboard, too small to accommodate the growing list of murders. “We may be the last assembly line left in Detroit,” she says. Later, a homicide cop is searching for a spent bullet on a roadside and finds it — after sorting through a slew of other bullets.

It’s not exactly a tourism brochure. Some locals say Hollywood is giving the city a Gucci-shod kick while it’s down: 24% unemployment, a hobbled auto industry and now this? ABC didn’t help matters by shooting the pilot in Atlanta or by making a promo that erroneously gave Detroit the highest murder rate in the U.S. (It comes in fourth.) City councilman Kwame Kenyatta sponsored a resolution asking ABC to change the show’s title, which he says equates the city with murder. (187 is police code and slang for homicide.) The resolution failed. But the question remains: Does a show set in a troubled city have a responsibility beyond the ratings?

The only 1-8-7 in Home Improvement was the running gag of Tim Taylor (played by Tim Allen) constantly hurting himself on the show he hosted within show, Tool Time. It’s hard to conjure up a more family-friendly show then Home Improvement, with jokes mature enough to fool young people watching but entertain parents at the same time.

Still aired in syndication today, the show holds up remarkably well as opposed to other 1990s (and even 2000-era) comedies.

Watching the show and growing upwith theTaylor family (Home Improvement was one of the few shows that maintained a high level of continuity and would constantly allude to prior episodes in other seasons) one was tragically unaware of the dire situation unfolding in the real-world of Detroit.

A brief synoposis of the show:

The series centered on the Taylor family, which consists of father Tim (Tim Allen), his spouse Jill (Patricia Richardson) and their three children: the oldest, Brad (Zachery Ty Bryan), the middle child Randy (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) and youngest, Mark (Taran Noah Smith). The Taylors live in suburban Detroit, Michigan and have a neighbor named Wilson (Earl Hindman) who is often the go-to guy for solving Tim and Jill’s problems.

Tim is a stereotypical American male, who loves power tools, cars and sports (especially the local Detroit teams). He is a former salesman for the fictional Binford Tool company, and is very much a cocky, accident-prone know-it-all. Witty but flippant, Tim jokes around a lot, even at inopportune times. Family life was boisterous, with the two oldest children, Brad and Randy, tormenting the much younger, Mark, while continually testing and pestering each other. This rough by-play happened especially throughout the first four seasons, and was revisited occasionally until Jonathan Taylor Thomas left at the beginning of the eighth season.

Brad, popular and athletic, was often the moving factor, who engaged before thinking, a tendency which regularly landed him in trouble. Randy, a year younger, was the comedian of the pack; known for his quick-thinking, wisecracks, and smart mouth. He had more common sense than Brad but was not immune to trouble. Mark was somewhat of a mama’s boy, though later in the series (in the seventh season) he grew into a teenage outcast who dressed in black clothing (a goth). Meanwhile, Brad became interested in cars like his father and took up soccer. Randy joined the school drama club, and later the school newspaper; in the eighth season, he left for Costa Rica.

A ratings titan, Home Improvement showed us a world inhabited by the Taylor family (Tim, Jill, Brad, Randy and Mark), Tim’s affable assistant on Tool Time Al Borland, the vivacious Heidi and the lovable, erudite neighbor Wilson Wilson Jr.

It was a show that was a testament to Robert Putnam’s study on howdiversity breeds distrust in a community, for the world of Home Improvement seemed to be a thriving, tightly nit group of white Americans that would congregate at the local hardware to swap stories of life, family, carsand the dreams, aspirations and hopes for the future.

Putnam’s study shows a much different for the real United States:

IT HAS BECOME increasingly popular to speak of racial and ethnic diversity as a civic strength. From multicultural festivals to pronouncements from political leaders, the message is the same: our differences make us stronger.

But a massive new study, based on detailed interviews of nearly 30,000 people across America, has concluded just the opposite. Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam — famous for “Bowling Alone,” his 2000 book on declining civic engagement — has found that the greater the diversity in a community, the fewer people vote and the less they volunteer, the less they give to charity and work on community projects. In the most diverse communities, neighbors trust one another about half as much as they do in the most homogenous settings. The study, the largest ever on civic engagement in America, found that virtually all measures of civic health are lower in more diverse settings.

“The extent of the effect is shocking,” says Scott Page, a University of Michigan political scientist.

Home Improvement is the ultimate sitcom that glorifies Pre-Obama America, and though it was made in the 1990s, the show reminds of all that was once good in this nation. Sadly the show completely excuses any mention of Black Detroit from polite conversation, a city that recently sent out 60,000 incorrect tax bills. Detroit, a city that may have to close half of its schools (only 50 percent graduate anyways, so some would say they are already closed) after initially closing 40 schools earlier in 2010.

The world of Home Improvement is a thriving one, a white one and a peaceful one. Detroit 1-8-7 seems light years away from the world the Taylor’s inhabit, though it should be right around the corner from their fictional home in the Detroit suburbs.

We have talked about Detroit before here at SBPDL, though we have never brought up the sore subject of the happy fictional Taylor clan and Home Improvement.

Stuff Black People Don’t Like includes Home Improvement, a sitcom that shows normal suburban life in a whitopia. Juxtaposed with the reality of Detroit, a city destroyed not by regulation, unions, socialism or natural disaster, but by white flight and a majority Black-run government, Home Improvement shows us all what Pre-Obama America was really like.

Professional athlete, as we have learned, is the vocation of choice for young Black males. The majority of Black males grow up believing they will one day make it to either the NBA or the NFL and that though the taste of riches may be fleeting, “making it rain” for a few years will be worth every penny lost that would have gained compound interest sitting in a bank.

Black athletes compete not only for playing time as professional athletes, but also for endorsements dollars against fellow athletes. This means that the optimum place to showcase their skills will be on ESPN Sports Center, a daily telecast highlighting the top plays from the prior day’s sporting events.

One-handed catches on the gridiron, monster “poster material” dunks on the basketball court and long runs through a maze of defenders only to eventually penetrate the end zone are what the producers at ESPN continuously highlight and the viewer craves watching.

But one of the more intriguing highlights ESPN promulgates is the end zone dance, the spontaneous celebration of Black individuality and creativity after a player has scored a touchdown (though the practice of Black braggadocio is becoming increasingly ubiquitous, seen after minor pass breakups by corners and even five-yard receptions by Twitter happy receivers).

The end zone celebration was a ritualistic dance notoriously performed in the 1980s with impressive flair and increased levels of team participation coupled with intensely choreographed maneuvers. The NCAA quickly moved in to limit these celebrations and subjugate offenders of flagrant celebration with the dreaded “Miami Rule”:

College football players planning to punctuate scoring plays by high-stepping into the end zone, somersaulting over the goal line or waving the ball at their beaten opponents better get it out of their system this season.

Nearly two decades after the creation of the so-called “Miami Rule,” the NCAA is taking another step to reduce taunting, a harsher penalty for the guilty party that could take points off the scoreboard starting in the 2011 season.

It all goes back to Miami’s 1991 Cotton Bowl rout of Texas, when the Hurricanes committed a school-record 16 penalties, including nine for unsportsmanlike conduct.

That performance resulted in the institution of a 15-yard penalty for any player engaging in prolonged celebrations or taunting.

Fast-forward to April, when the NCAA approved a rule that wipes out a touchdown if a player taunts his opponents en route to the end zone. Instead of getting six points, the team would be assessed a 15-yard penalty from the spot of the foul.

The harsher rules don’t sit well with former Hurricanes receiver Randal Hill, who despite a standout career probably is best known for his touchdown celebration in that ’91 Cotton Bowl. After scoring a touchdown, Hill ran into a stadium tunnel, then emerged while pretending to fire a pair of six-shooters.

Hill admits that some of the things he and his teammates did “were over the top” but derides the NCAA as “stuffy guys” searching for ways to take the fun out out of the game.

“I think it’s sad,” said Hill, who works as a special agent for U.S. Homeland Security. “All these guys that are making the rules? Get rid of every single one of them and put people in there that understand more about the game.

“I guarantee you, the fans don’t want to see a snooty, boring game.”

Excessive celebration is banned in college sports, but the professionals (especially the NFL) have the market cornered on gaudyend zone dances, mugging for the camera after big hits on defense and the primeval yell that ejaculates from the throat of the athleteupon securing a big catch or extended a drive with a long run.

Black players make up 70 percent of the NFL athletes and 80 percent of the NBA players. If a study were undertaken to determine which race garners the most unsportsmanlike/excessive celebration penaltiesin the NFL and technical fouls in the NBA, SBPDL believes these would be 90-95 committed by Black players.

It is rare to see excessive celebration called in the NFL, but in a recent playoff game a critical mistake was made by the New York Jets that resulted in a 15-yard penalty. That mistake? A Black person scored a touchdown and that player decided to grandstand for the crowd and the viewing audience at home:

When you talk big, you’d better back it up. And if you back up the big talk, you deserve to celebrate even bigger. That wasn’t a problem for the New York Jets during and after the team’s decisive 28-21 victory over the New England Patriots in the AFC divisional playoff.

A bit of the celebration didn’t please CBS announcer Jim Nantz, though. After Shonn Greene(notes) scored a late game-sealing touchdown, many Jets, Rex Ryan included, converged in the end zone to whoop it up and send one final message to the Patriots and their fans. Nantz didn’t like this, particularly Greene’s “nap time” celebration, which saw the running back fall to the ground and mimic that he was going to sleep.

“I’ve never understood the absurdity of all the self-aggrandizing and now you’re going to cost your team 15 yards on the kick and you’re going to give Brady and his unit a chance to do something.”

All right, Jim. Come on down from that soapbox and let’s talk about this. You’re right that it’s absurd for a player to cost his team 15 yards for an incident that was completely unnecessary. And you’re right that Brady and his team were going to get another chance to do something. But did you have to go with “absurdity” and “self-aggrandizing” when ripping Greene’s celebration? You know who’s self-aggrandizing? People who use the phrase “self-aggrandizing.” I assume you’ve been introduced to the pot and the kettle, Jim?

The real culprit here is the NFL for having lame rules in place that penalize players for having fun. Greene didn’t get flagged for doing something wrong — like taunting or disrespectful behavior — no, he was penalized because he intentionally fell to the ground in the course of celebrating a touchdown. That’s all.

End zone celebrations are an unwritten, de factoright for Black players to display effortless cool (though none have pulled off a Clarence yet) and an opportunity to gesticulate and contort their bodies in ways that display the sportsmanship that sports fans have come to know and expect from Black athletes.

Though the game may be in doubt, Black athletes on a team losing by 30 might taunt the opposing team with an exaggerated, multifaceted celebration that oozes with Black machismo.

You see, Black people have no shameand are normally completely unaware of their surroundings. Being quiet at a movie? Impossible for Black people, though before every movie people are implored to refrain from speaking during the viewing of the film.

Using 6-inch voices like our teachers told us was polite to utilize in public places? Nope,Black people believe in the 40 foot voice rule, demanding that everyone within ear shot be party to their conversation.

This is why football players (and to a less extent basketball players) must celebrate every play that just might conceivably — possibly, maybe — merit even the smallest accolade. It’s only natural for Black people to be the center of attention and with tens of millions watching and television, the opportunity for endorsement dollars and precious ESPN highlight reel time translates to excessive dancing upon scoring a touchdown. Or making a five-yard catch. Or breaking up a pass. Or sacking a quarterback. Or… pretty much anything that can be counted as a positive play – involving a Black player – will inevitably end in a celebratory manner that screams of a two-year old engage in a temper-tantrum.

Perhaps one of the primary reasons Black athletes enjoy showing-off and demanding attention on the athletic fields is due to a heightened level of self-esteem that removes any of the moral inhibitors that keep white athletes from engaging in similar behavior?

It is a well-known fact that Black people are blessed with the highest rates of self-esteem of any of the racial groups in America (maybe even the world). Why do Black people have the highest self-esteem, when it would seem they should be the least racial group participating in boasting?

That will be discussed tomorrow.

For today, Stuff Black People Don’t Like includes celebration-less touchdowns. Such an action would be best described as “acting white.”

Black people live by the mantra of “keepinit real” and they must always show off an alpha male mentality by bringing attention to themselves upon scoring a touchdown, which sometimes can be an aggressive affair. Mostly, though, the touchdown dance has a P.T Barnum feel to it; watching players like Chad OchoCinco, Ray Lewis, Terrell Owens and virtually everyother Black athletes prance around brings to my the infamous phrase, “No homo.”

It is these extracurricular activities upon the pro fields and courts of football and basketball that highlight dramatic differences between the races participating in the games.

And it gives the viewer a glimpse into the high levels of self-esteem that Black people possess, though the glory they feel may only last for a year (though high levels of Black self esteem are documented in non-athletes, even those who drop out from school). Black people showing off by dancing after touchdowns, is eerily reminiscent of animals marking their territory against competing males of the species or when the male of an animal species attempts to impress a mate.

Why do Black people have such high levels of self confidence and self esteem? The answer comes tomorrow and it may shock you. In the mean time, why don’t you take a guess at it?

We would have sworn that said “nickel”
We would have sworn that said “nickel”

We all know how sensitive Black people and Disingenuous White Liberals (DWLs) can be to anything that violates their delicate sensibilities.

Mark Twain, racist snack cakes, a teacher who dares say the-word-that-must-not-be-named (nigger for those wondering) and even Hallmark cards and Black holes are all on the chopping block for using variations of words that dare go against the prevailing winds of tolerance that sweep across the tableau of American life at an increasingly intolerant speed.

The day that DWLs, Black racial agitators and those running Black Run America (BRA) decide that The White House is in need of a more appropriate for the 21st century name upgrade is the moment you know Pre-Obama America is never coming back.

A more all-inclusive name will be needed one day, since The White House reeks of the putrid scent of white privilege, supremacy and paternalism.

Don’t believe us? Just look at what happened to a statue of George Washington, whose visage as The Father of our Country was no veneer worthy enough for Black people to gaze upon as they celebrated the true father of BRA, Martin Luther King, on his righteous day.

We approach the day when The White House will be renamed and creep ever closer to the moment that many of the monuments in Washington D.C. (those relics of an evil nation) will be torn down, those antiquated celebrations of Dead White Males failing to align with the progressive time period we live in now.

Look no further then this story to see how crazy things are getting, as mere regional dialect is misconstrued as a mispronunciation of harmless word that sounds an awful lot like the-word-that-must-not-be-named:

Rachel Baldwin is defending her company’s new commercial that has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.

The Jax Bargain Plywood ad has received more than 4,000 hits on YouTube and is the subject of jokes on Comedy Central.Ruth Taylor, a woman in the commercial, sings: “Save me a nickel. Save me a dime.

Jax Bargain Plywood can do it every time.”Bloggers claim the jingle contains the “N” word.”The e-mails that we’ve gotten are that we are being racist,” Baldwin said. “They can’t believe we got an African-American woman to say that. They’re making a lot of derogatory comments about her.”Baldwin said she’s disgusted at the growing number of online comments targeting her staff and Taylor, who’s a Gospel singer.

One e-mail reads, “Your commercial is deplorable. Save me a what? People are beginning to notice, and it’s becoming a joke on the Internet and it’s not funny.”

Taylor said in a phone interview Friday that the allegations are ridiculous, even moreso because she herself is black.”She was hot. She’s mad,” Baldwin said of how Taylor felt about the allegations.”It sounds like several things,” customer Lorraine Chavis said. “It depends on what ear is listening. When I hear the commercial, I’m listening for how much I can save. What’s the bargain.”

That didn’t sound like nickel…
That didn’t sound like nickel…

A hilarious news story on the nickel-bag crime can be found here. That people would find folly in the word nickel being ever so slightly fudged by a haphazard recitation of a catchy jingle makes us laugh here at SBPDL.

It brings to mind the classic South Park episode, “With apologies to Jesse Jackson” or, more commonly referred to “The Nigger Guy” episode.

The ultimate naggers appear to DWLs and many Black people who find ever nefarious intentions behind even slightly mispronounced words.

Even Alf, a lovable alien who starred in his own eponymous 80s sitcom dared to say the-word-that-must-not-be-named.

It’s time to lighten up big time. A nickel, a nagger, what does it matter?

Of course it matters: the prevailing winds of intolerance will blow any person, business or TV show that dare use the-word-that-must-not-be-named, even if it is a mispronunciation of another word.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a holy day in Black Run America (BRA)that surpasses Christmas in theological importance.

We have discussed MLK before here at SBPDL and today pay respects to Dr. King’s memory and his imploring to judge “one by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.”

Perhaps its fate that on a day when the Atlanta Journal Constitution publishes a story onthe highly political King memorial service(where the Arizona shooting kept creeping into the “peace” narrative), a shooting was reported on that oh-so-dangerous road, Martin Luther King Drive:

Atlanta police are at the scene of a reported shooting at 3050 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, SW.

According to police, someone called 911 saying that a man had been shot inside a store. Atlanta police told the AJC that officers have been unable to find a victim at this time.

The West Ridge shopping center is listed at that address. Wayfield and Family Dollar stores are at that location.

Around the country streets named after Dr. King have a tendency to deviate from his message of peace and non-violence. But it is in the continued reliance on the Brown Paper Bag Test (BPBT) that we find the complete repudation of his message of judging by character and the reliance of judging 100 percent by skin color.

What is the BPBT?:

When slavery ended, light-skinned blacks established social organizations that barred darker ex-slaves. Elite blacks of the early 20th century were fair-skinned almost to the person. Even today, most blacks in high positions have fair skin tones, and most blacks who do menial jobs or are in prison are dark. Believe it or not, popular black magazines, such as Ebony as Essence, prefer light-skinned models in their beauty product ads.

In his 1996 book The Future of the Race, Henry Louis Gates Jr., chairman of the Afro-American studies department at Harvard, described his encounter with the brown paper bag when he came to Yale in the late 1960s, when skin-tone bias was brazenly practiced: “Some of the brothers who came from New Orleans held a “bag party.’ As a classmate explained it to me, a bag party was a New Orleans custom wherein a brown paper bag was stuck on the door.

“Anyone darker than the bag was denied entrance. That was one cultural legacy that would be put to rest in a hurry – we all made sure of that. But in a manner of speaking, it was replaced by an opposite test whereby those who were deemed “not black enough’ ideologically were to be shunned. I was not sure this was an improvement.”

The problem of the BPBT has been persistent in theBlack narrative in both the United States, Haiti, and Africa for too long and appears whenever the pernicious idea of”being authenticallyBlack” rears its ugly head, throwing gasoline upon Dr. King’s legacy and threatening to finally provide the spark to send it up in flames.

Black people surviveby positioning themselves as a monolithic entity and any discord or rancor within that community – though Black-on-Black is a problem of tremendous proportions -threatens that familial view of a people united in ethnic solidarity.

One should be aware that the idea behind the BPBT is never going to leave us:

A twitter hashtag is waging a harsh colorism battle over the Internet.

Club promotors in Columbus, Ohio were inspired by twitter hashtags “#teamlightskin” and “#teamdarkskin” and decided to create a party themed around skin tone differences. The flyer claims that the event is the “most anticipated party of the year” and will be held on January 21st, a few days after the Martin Luther King, Jr. national holiday.

The flier made its round over Twitter and Facebook yesterday under the hashtag #lightskinvsdarksin and has begun to receive a national backlash.

Young Truph wrote, “This event might be the most popular failed event ever.”

“The media is telling us white is beautiful but naw we gotta add our own spin on it and degrade ourselves,” PoeticSongBird writes.

Many believe that once humanity has reached a more tenable and palatable hue, when every person alive has the same light-brown skin that peace will spontaneously break out and we will all hold hands moving as one into the future. Roles for Black actresses will be plentiful then!

Reading Roger Ebert’s review of the forgettable2002 film Time Machine one gets the idea of what the typical Disingenuous White Liberal (DWL) mind believes will come to fruition:

The Morlocks evolved underground in the dark ages after the moon’s fall, and attack on the surface by popping up through dusty sinkholes. They hunt the Eloi for food. The Eloi are an attractive race of brown-skinned people whose civilization seems modeled on paintings by Rousseau; their life is an idyll of leafy bowers, waterfalls and elegant forest structures, but they are such fatalists about the Morlocks that instead of fighting them off, they all but salt and pepper themselves.

We at Stuff Black People Don’t Like would like to live in a society where the “content of character” is the defining way to judge someone, but the “color of one’s skin” is the manner in which all white people are judged in Black Run America (BRA). All white people are viewed as being privileged for having white skin, regardless of their station in life.

All white people, even if one is the most devoted follower of DWL political, progressive philosophyor evenif they are the personfication ofStuff White People Like white person, will be seen as a potential “racist” in the eyes of Black people. Certainly a beneficiary of white privilege.

We know how untouchable whites are depicted: Omar Thornton’s story showed us this; the Tuscon shooting and reaction bythe DWL mediashowed us this; and every day that brings us one step closer to the mythical utopia of browned-skinned humans shows us this.

America will never be a land where Dr. King’s vision could be implemented, because Black peoplewill never stopdiscriminating against those who can’t pass the BPBT. Those who act white and become the token Black are treated even worse.

The history of Haiti is littered with the blood of both whites (who were slaughtered) and mulatto’s (who were slaughtered shortly thereafter) by darker skinned Black people. Guess they failed the BPBT?

It was written that the color-line would be the issue of 20th century. That person was wrong: it will be the primary issue of the 21st century, though we steadfastly refuse to talk about yet.

Not enough “injustice” to be described as heroic
Not enough “injustice” to be described as heroic

What is a hero? We ask this question after reading The USA Today and learning that orchestras across the nation are in danger of shuttering their symphony halls. Whoops, that wasn’t the article we meant to talk about, though the discussion of the racial breakdown of the dwindlingaudiences wasn’t mentioned in that piece. Perhaps a reason for the declining revenue… never mind.

The article we meant to discuss is this one, where we learn that Black people and Hispanics are twice as likely as white people to have performed heroic deeds:

New research would seem to support President Obama’s observation Wednesday night in Tucson that “heroism is here, all around us.”

Philip Zimbardo, a Stanford University professor emeritus and colleagues used a nationally-representative sample of 4,000 adults and found that 20% qualified as heroes — they had helped during a dangerous emergency, taken a stand against injustice, or sacrificed for a stranger.

“Heroes are ordinary people,” says Zimbardo, of San Francisco. “You become a hero by doing an extraordinary deed.”

In the study, both blacks and Hispanics were twice as likely as whites to have performed heroic deeds. Zimbardo says they want to do follow-up research on the reasons for the racial/ethnic differences, which he speculates could be attributed to “greater opportunities to respond” or “being discriminated against makes them have more compassion to others in need.”

The study, supported by the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford, asked participants “Have you ever done something that other people — not necessarily you yourself — considered a heroic act or deed?” Those who answered “yes” selected from a list the actions most similar to their own: helping another person in a dangerous emergency; “blowing the whistle” on an injustice with awareness of the personal risk or threat to yourself; sacrifice on behalf of a non-relative or stranger, such as an organ donation; defying unjust authority; or other.

Among the 20% who met the survey definition, 55% had helped someone during an emergency, 8% confronted an injustice, 14% had defied unjust authority and 5% had sacrificed for a stranger.

The 21st century is still a land of extreme prejudice and injustice, where a Department of Justice actively discriminates agains t one group and fire departments across the nation discriminate against that same group because of their propensity to pass tests that Black people fail to performsatisfactorily upon.

Confronted an injustice? Defied an unjust authority? The authority and justice in Black Run America (BRA) is administered by Disingenuous White Liberals (DWLs) bent on perpetuating the myth of eternal white racism holding back Black people from becoming the next NASA scientist.

DWLs profit mightily off of this myth, maintaining hegemony over the hated and despised rabble they deem untouchable whites. Only white racism can blamed for poor credit scores, test scores, and lack of qualified Black job applicants in, well, name your vocation.

We know that DWLs run this country and preside over the editorial board of every newspaper, network and cable television channel, and university, this study on heroism make perfect sense. The never ending battle to confront injustice and deify authority must be waged in earnest to supply DWLs with heroic imagesof Black peopleparticipating in a struggle – long agowon -to defeat rampantracism, omnipresent and persistent that keeps Black people under the heel of whites.

Let’s stop for a moment and imagine a world where the rules governing BRA didn’t dictate every inane study published by USA Today and other media outlets. Why don’t we look at who is actually volunteering out of the goodness of their own heart? Remember, we have done an entry on volunteering and on those who give blood and donate organs.

What about the Un ited States military? Who is doing the fighting and dying?

Who exactly joins Teach for America and tries to educate inner-city students, all the while Waiting for Superman? Who are the teachers who strive to educate those who seem impossible of education (they do a good job for whites and Asians)?

Who are the social workers who help those in need? We’ll give you a hint:

A majority (87%) of regular members list their racial/ethnic origin as “White/Caucasian,” and 5% selected “African American/Black.” The remainder of members fall into other racial/ethnic categories.

Who joins the Peace Corps? Who are the primary people going into impoverished areas and building Habitat for Humanity homes? Who is it that cares for the environment and then bemoans the fact that diversity isn’t noticeable in their ranks?

What group of people fight littering, work to create a culture ofrecycling as a major priority and strive to implement green policies that would benefit future generations who will be increasingly brown?

Who cares for animals, treats them with dignity and provides habitats for these creatures to flourish?

Who works in the national park system? Who works to cure disease and enrich our understanding of biology, genetics and infection so that plagues can be stopped before they spread?

Who volunteers and donates to food banks? And this is called a white privilege.

Who fights fires because one group of people continually fail tests in every city where fire departments require writtenexams to gauge the aptitude of their applicants? Why are the standards being lowered on these tests and who does this benefit?

What group of people in America go out of their way to adopt the unwanted children of a certainracial group, the majority of whom treat their children as unwanted detritus or just have them aborted?

Athletes aren’t heroes, they are paid to play children’s games that adults with widening bellies treat as Gods. Some do open charities and work to improve the city that is written across their jersey, but most go bankrupt pursuing more interesting endeavors while making it rain.

USA Today has no problem publishing a study on heroism, though the facts are hardly on the side of the only virtuous people in people in the eyes of that newspaper, academia and those who control and guide BRA.

People need heroes, those who strive to promote good and better the lives of those around them. USA Today has a much different view of hero then the real world, but it makes perfect sense when you understand how the DWL thinks and how BRA works.

This week Stuff Black People Don’t Like encourages all readers to go out of their way to donate food to a food bank; any unworn clothes to the Salvation Army; perhaps volunteer at a nursing home, church or community center; assist a neighbor with their yard work or shoveling snow; or visita hospital oranimal shelter.

Read to your children and spend time with them; be their hero (this goes for all readers, Black, white, Asian, Hispanic, Indian). Call a brother, a sister, a father or mother, maybe that friend you haven’t spoken to in ages. Make a surprise visit to your grandparents and you’ll see immediately who is their hero.
It is acts of unrewardedkindness and altruisticsacrifices that are truly heroic not what USA Todaytells us, which borders on the moronic.
