Excerpts From the Great National Discussion on Race
— Ace


Indeed.

Some time back a horrifying series of racially-menacing crimes were committed at Oberlin College. The left was well and truly outraged.

But they turned out be another giganitc hoax so the left has nothing more to say about them.

Busted. Stone-cold busted. Just as I suspected, “progressive” pranksters at Oberlin College have been definitively unmasked as the perpetrators of phony campus “hate crimes” that scored international headlines in March. The blabbermouth academic administrators who helped fuel the hysteria are now running for cover.

The Associated Press, the New York Times, MSNBC, Yahoo News, and the Huffington Post were among the media outlets that trumpeted the story of supposed racism, homophobia, and anti-Semitism run amok at my alma mater. Throughout the winter, anti-black and anti-gay graffiti, swastikas, and a shadowy figure in a “KKK hood” surfaced on the tiny campus outside Cleveland, Ohio. Black Entertainment Television News decried the hate outbreaks and a “KKK sighting.”

I'm omitting Michelle's recounting of previous racial hoaxes at Oberlin, simply because I can't quote everything. But do go over there, to NRO, to read the whole thing.

...

The orgy of self-flagellation swelled.

I have to step in here: It's not self-flagellation. Self-flagellation, in the sense of seriously scrutinizing oneself for cognitive defects, hatreds, biases, and other errors in mind and spirit, can be a useful function.

But the left never self-scrutinizes. People say they navel gaze. They do not, not in any intellectually or spiritually useful way. Their navel-gazing is navel appreciating.

If they were really pulling themselves apart to examine what makes them tick, that could be very useful. And within a few months they wouldn't be leftists anymore.

What they do, always, is pretend to be speaking of themselves -- "We must do better" -- but their use of "We" is a very odd one.

They mean others. They mean You. They mean anyone not present in their little grouphate sessions.

Self-flagellation? Not hardly. Whipping their various permanent designated whipping boys is all that it is.

Self-flagellation hurts. Whipping someone else feels good, if one gets off on being a Scourge of Evil, which the left does. So long as that evil is located outside of themselves.

Liberal grievance-mongers applauded the administration’s decision to shut down classes. Faculty, students, and opportunists took to the airwaves and the Internet to bemoan “white privilege,” institutional bigotry, lack of diversity, yada, yada, yada.

And now I delete her recounting of how the hoax was uncovered. It's great stuff and I suggest you read it. But again I can't just rip off everything she writes.


...

There are other adults who deserve to be called out. As Cornell law professor and blogger William Jacobson, who has pressed the administration for months about the cover-up, notes: “Oberlin continues the wall of silence which delayed for months disclosure of the hoax. It’s time for Oberlin to reveal who knew what, and when, particularly as to the oversight exercised by the Board of Trustees.”

Sad to say, this is the sorry state of liberal-arts colleges in America today: Extreme identity politics, multiculturalism, and pedagogical self-indulgence are creating a generation of race trolls enabled by tenured cultural-Marxist punks raking in beaucoup bucks. The bursting of the higher-ed bubble canÂ’t come fast enough.

Yup.

And speaking of, David Freddoso, or, as I often call him, David Fredosso, recounts the recent history of racial-menace hoaxes. First he underlines this important fact: Oberlin long knew this was a hoax, but kept it silent.

Incredibly, once the hoaxers had been discovered, suspended, and removed from campus, university administrators concealed their knowledge that it had been a hoax, leaving other students (and Americans in general) to fear that their campus was a far more dangerous and hostile place than it actually was.

This is what I find repulsive about leftist. Not liberalism, mind you. But leftism, which has completely taken over what was once liberalism.

The central idea of liberalism is that Truth will liberate men. Truth.

And yet here you have a college -- a college for God's sakes! Half of them have Veritas in their coats-of-arms! -- actively concealing the truth and actively promoting a lie because they've decided the lie is better than the truth.

Liberals? Not hardly.

This is repulsive. Men who think should be repelled by this.

All men who think are repelled by this. The men who do not think and do not love the truth are the ones left to embrace it.

What were once laboratories of truth are now incubators of falsehoods.

He then goes on to list the now very-common after-school activity of perpetrating racial hoaxes on campus.

You'll be happy to know that Law & Order: JTS (Jumped the Shark) is going to be handling the Trayvon Martin shooting and Paula Dean ancient slur with their typical thoughtfulness and nuance.

The episode features the Paula Dean analogue shooting the Trayvon Martin analogue.

Why not have an Alec Baldwin analogue do it, as his most recent racial slur was five months ago, not 25 years ago? Because, Law & Order: JTS says, they're so daring and they ask the "tough questions."

He said the show would ask the tough questions.

'Is racial profiling justifiable? Can self-defense involve racial profiling? We're diving right into that,' he said.

I would think it would be a tougher question to ask why a man with Industry Connections is permitted to drop homophobic and racial slurs like he's Frank Sinatra roasting Paul Lynde and Sammy Davis, Jr., and has yet to be asked to pay any price by his media friends and protectors.

But nah, let's make a barely-famous non-Industry-Connected joke chef the villain. Because Narrative.

"Why do they seem so insistent on making it racial?" MSNBC asks several times per day.

Jonah Goldberg has a similar question, but with a different antecedent for "they."

It's all worth reading, but here's the conclusion:

From Obama down to his cheerleaders in the press, liberals have declared unremitting war on their ideological opponents, cynically polarizing the country along racial -- and, when possible, gender -- lines. They, not conservatives, have been the ones dragging race into any and every political dispute they can. This disgusting strategy has worked well for them, galvanizing minority voters and tarring the Republican brand. I don't particularly welcome the fact that conservatives are fighting fire with fire, but you can hardly blame them given how liberals like Reid have been asking for it for so long.

On Twitter yesterday, I was beside myself noting that the Oberlin story was a National Concern when the media thought it helped their Narrative.

But the exact same story is now a #LocalCrimeStory because it's a hoax which injures their cause.

See how neat that is? The exact same story changes from National Concern to #LocalCrimeStory depending on whose Narrative it helps.

I also am beside myself at being lectured about racism by an institution -- the media -- which is overwhelmingly white, and, like a tall light latte with extra milk and whipped cream, it gets whiter and whiter the higher up you go, so that it becomes almost completely white -- Nazi Party white -- in terms of upper management, high paid writers, and top hosts, pundits, reporters, and lead actors.

And right on cue, Saturday Night Live is adding four more cast members.

Shock of shocks, they're all white.

As they say: Men who live in sin must be the ones most loudly denouncing it.

That last thanks to @rdbrewer4.

5 Why do we even care if we're called racists anymore? As soon as we stop caring this things ends. They're counting on it shutting us up, but we don't really shut up. We defend ourselves from being called racists, which is even worse than shutting up. Just stop doing it.

I always like to point out that Jeremiah Wright's church seems to exclusively talk about what's wrong with other people, not about what they need to change within themselves like every church I've ever known.

And it's a fundamental problem with black America.  The demands are always for answers from other people-- introspection is taboo, and calling for it is a sure route to social condemnation. The constant demand for an answer from Whitey is just a way to distract themselves from condemning the bad behavior of people who superficially resemble them.

It's pure dysfunction.

24 The Great National Discussion on race has qualified white people as a hate group.

Except when they are liberals.

White guy defends himself from a black guy who attacks him- he's a racist. The race hustlers stir the pot, riot and basically let us know how rotten we are. They tell their acolytes to hate us and imply we need a good beating.

Black guys kill a WW II veteran, for no reason. Crickets, because he was a white guy. Jesse Jackson implies that wasn't very nice.

Black guys randomly shoot a white guy for fun. Again, crickets. Suddenly the media is interested in Obama's college tour. Like anyone gives a shit.

They deny the black community has a problem. They try to make people hire criminals instead of addressing the root causes of criminality. The black community has the largest unemployment rate that has grwon astronomically under The One. But it's Republicans fault, who by the way are a bunch of white guys. At least that's what they tell everyone.

I am a little sick of the ignorance, dishonesty and people who stoke the flames of discontent instead of finding common ground.

We have the least talented president in the history of our republic, He's destroyed this country with his lack of leadership skills and a posture that blames everyone else for his ineptitude.

More than anything else, Obama's dearth of skills, foolish ideological ideas and inability to accept personal responsibility for his lack of talent has destroyed the productive society.

71 There was a hate crime hoax at my college, some 20 years ago. Vicious racist crap scrawled on the house of the Black Student Union, the scrawler later turned out to be a member. He said he did it to "raise awareness of racism." I commented at the time that this is like pulling a false fire alarm to raise awareness of fires. I'll always remember the speculation, before the incident was identified as a hoax, that the racist vandal was this conservative Christian from Texas (a good friend of mine). This was a vile slander of a supposition anyway, but particularly in his case: he was a quietly implacable foe of racial hatred, and he devoted a good part of his life to helping poor folks (who happened to be black). A happier memory is the rant by another friend of mine to the local paper. They were trying to get a comment from any black student who would talk to them about the incident, and he happily gave them an earful about the kind of people who would perpetrate a hoax like that.

75 Yep, millions of lynchings as Oprah said. And even though we can only find proof for about 5,000 ... that just show how good whitey was at hiding their industrial lynching campaign. If you think about it, the less evidence you find, the stronger the proof of the crime. Millions is probably undercounting, most likely more than a billion black people were lynched. Possibly a trillion. You have to remember, the South was really racist.

76 Let me guess, they won't have the Trayvon dude on top of Paula Dean beating her head against the concrete in an attempt to murder her.

From what I read it sounds like "Deen" is going to get a description of a rapist in the neighborhood.  "Martin" is going to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and do something innocent like walk up to "Deen" to ask the time.  "Deen" is going to shoot him and try to claim self-defense.

89 I've lost track of how many leftist-manufactured phony "hate crimes" I've read about on college campuses, performed by either students or employees.

The usual excuse was that they wanted to "raise awareness", as if anyone on a college campus isn't constantly reminded about the evils of pervasive institutional racism.  In reality, it's just attention-whoring.

I remember at least two such incidents from my white bread alma mater, neither of which made national news, with the usual suspects caterwauling as loudly as possible.  I'd be surprised if there existed any large school that hasn't had at least one such incident.

Once the fraud is exposed you never hear about it outside the local or school newspaper, or hear much in the way of condemnation from their fellow travelers.

108 One such incident involved a lesbian who claimed to have been attacked by two white males spewing gay slurs in the parking lot after she attended a campus LGBT event, complete with facial injuries.

The usual victimhood fetishists came out in full force, the local paper printed a couple stories, the student newspaper covered it endlessly.

The police initially believed her- she was a criminal justice major and apparently she knew just what to say to make her otherwise suspicious story sound credible.

Eventually she failed to keep her story straight and she confessed to hitting herself in the face and making the whole thing up.

And yes, I have met and talked to a low-information type who really had no idea that her hours at work had been slashed because of "Obamacare", which she likely supported. She thought it was because of "that damn ACA thing". With no conception in her mind that these are one and the same.

150 Lynchings were used as an organized method of terror to intimidate blacks. And, sad to say, it worked. The KKK wanted blacks to stay on the farm and stay to themselves and not get involved in politics. Because it was such an effective terror tactic, the actual # used was fairly small. KKK post civil war was basically a loosely organized terror group. Their goal was to convince the northerners to go home and the blacks to stay on the farm. They used violence and lynching to achieve their goals. And they did achieve their goals and disbanded. KKK was only resurrected decades later after Rise of a Nation became the first blockbuster, celebrating the KKK for saving the South. At which point the KKK became, mostly, a Christian fraternal organization for men leaving the farms. KKK pre WW2 was the largest private organization in America. Especially popular in the midwest. Not a lot of blacks in 1930s Iowa. Concern more was the spread of Catholics and their promotion of alcohol use.

155 To pour a little fuel on the fire, I wonder if this statistical analysis has been done: What is the percentage of stranger-to-stranger murders committed by blacks, without regard to the race of the victim? You can find stats on stranger- homicides, and all murders by race, but not this subset. And, by excluding race of the victim, you control out "encounter" bias (the premise that blacks are more likely to encounter whites than the reverse) and just capture propensity to commit the crime. My own view is that the most meaningful indicator by far of actual, social safety is stranger-murder. That is, most murders are domestic/acquaintance murders, which have largely to do with the company you keep, and which have nothing to do with the likelihood of getting offed in a parking lot while looking for your car keys. I certainly do not ascribe to the all-blacks-are-criminals. And, I do (without irony) feel that your legitimacy as to matters racial can indeed by measured by "some-of-my-best-friends..." But I do think that the actual Conversation would benefit from understanding just what % of the stranger murders, which are those that should cause a lawful individual the most concern, are in fact committed by blacks. And, by the way, when victim groups trot out the more-likely-to-be-murdered % as a cryto-justification for committing homicides well out of proportion to % in the population, you should also ask if they are excluding "justified homicides" which are a disproportionately large percentage of black homicide victims, i.e. those shot by the police or in commission of a crime.

159 Civil Rights movement exposed the sordid past of the KKK, plus some current violence, and KKK reputation dropped like a rock as everybody left it cause they weren't in it to be a racist. And that's how you have today's KKK where it's just racist, neo-nazi loser scum. KKK has 3 large phases in US history. Post Civil War, post Rise of A Nation, post Civil Rights movement. Roughly: terror group, fraternal group, loser group.

161 Founding of Oberlin-from their website : A Presbyterian minister and a missionary founded Oberlin in 1833. The duo, the Rev. John J. Shipherd and Philo P. Stewart, became friends while spending the summer of 1832 together in nearby Elyria. They discovered a mutual disenchantment with what they saw as the lack of strong Christian principles among the settlers of the American West. They decided to establish a college and a colony based on their religious beliefs, "where they would train teachers and other Christian leaders for the boundless most desolate fields in the West." The guy who was responsible for this hoax proudly calls himself an Atheist. Too bad Oberlin didn't instill some Christian principles in him, but then again, they've long ago ceased to be Christian school. Their religion is leftism. And yes, FTR, Atheists can be very fine people and conservative too. However, I have been none too impressed by Atheist leftists I have met online. Maybe I should ask Rev Shipherd and Mr. Stewart to intercede with God that "Justice might roll down like water and righteousness like an ever flowing stream" in the situation at Oberlin. Those men would doubtless be appalled.

164 In the 2nd phase, the wildly nationally popular fraternal order phase, the KKK was similar to Obama's old church. It used appeals to racial and religious solidarity to try and convince men to be stop drinking and be better fathers and husbands. It was also good networking for getting a job for all the farmboys moving to cities. Like Obama's church they often portrayed alcohol as trick by Catholics, Jews and blacks to demean and debase the otherwise good Protestant white man. Obama's church appealed to race hate to convince wayward blacks that drugs are a trick by Jews and whites to enslave them. Same basic message the KKK had pre WW2.

168 Well then help me out here. Because I'm having trouble squaring the circle. I always thought lynching a black was just because they were black, not because of crimes committed.

Supposedly they were because of a crime.  "Lynch Law" was conducted in small towns rather than going through the process of a trial.

Well,I'm not too sure every lynching wound up officially reported.

True, the historical record is incomplete.  What we do know is because of the work of places like the Chicago Tribune and the Tuskegee Institute.

However, the people of these towns weren't hiding their actions, only their identities.  They often took pictures and published the lynching news in newspapers.

176 Convincing young men that drugs and alcohol that make them feel so good are, in fact, really bad ... is hard to do. Browbeating them to be better husbands and fathers often doesn't work. Appealing to raw tribalism does. The drugs and alcohol are recast as trick by the evil, hated Other to deceive and enslave you. The hated Other varies from group to group. The one common denominator is usually the Jews. Hated by both the KKK and Obama's church, for example, but the Nation of Islam and David Duke.

These fucking white assholes pushing this bullshit apparently haven't noticed, but the white people who are not them are now competing with some really sharp Indian and Chinese people across the globe across almost every sector of the economy (although, and I'm sure this is just a coincidence, not in the liberal arts or media "industries", since the white people there are pretty well ensconced and don't have to worry about their jobs being shipped overseas or some sharp MBA or Ph.D. getting the job they want here in the States). I frankly don't have fucking time or the inclination to give a fucking shit about some racial group's past harsh treatment at the hands of another racial group, however tragic, when I'm trying to avoid my own future harsh treatment at the hands of a completely different racial group. It's a form of intellectual "conspicuous consumption" a la Thorsten Veblen for a white person to even have time to dedicate to this "national conversation on race" bullshit.

The amount of extra effort I have after a day's work to give to some "national conversation on race" bullshit is a big fat zero. Or, better yet, failing my first choice of splitting into two separate sovereign nations, one where your "tribe" is your primary identity and the other where your individual self is your primary identity, my contribution is "First, kill all the whites asking for a national conversation on race, redistribute their wealth to minorities, and see where we stand after that."

205 Dean “The Dream” Meminger, a key player on the last New York Knicks team to win a title, was found dead in Harlem of a possible drug overdose today -- with his gold championship ring still on his finger, sources said. Meminger was a South Carolina native who grew up in New York, where he starred at Rice High School before earning All-America honors under coach and Queens native Al McGuire at Marquette. The defensive-minded point guard was a Knicks first-round draft pick in 1971 and played a key role in their march to their last championship in 1973, when he played along the legendary Willis Reed, Walt Frazier and Earl “The Pearl” Monroe. He ran into hard times later in life, but I remember him when he was young, talented and dean the dream

They MAY have a chaplain but the services are more Unitarian than anyone thing else and they don't baulk at things like coed floors-or even coed floors and they don't even offer courses in the Bible, or if so it is "The Bible as Literature". I am not saying that schools have to be exclusively Christian but when you have people on the faculty in the religion department who tear down Christianity it makes me think the founders must be turning over in their graves.

237 Nevergiveup at August 23, 2013 07:01 PM (jE38p) Many apologies! I read the "not how I pictured" and ASSuME'd a certain regret on your part ... Be safe at 4 a.m.

239 Frank Sinatra doesn't deserve the slur of being compared to Alec Baldwin. Frank is almost single-handedly responsible for desegregating Vegas hotels, as when he and Sammy (with Dino) would play them, Sinatra routinely refused to stay at any hotel where Sammy wasn't also allowed to stay as a guest. That's a hell of a lot more good than Alec has ever done in his pathetic life.

240 High school friend of mine is Chinese. His dad was enslaved by Mao and escaped to America. My friend grew up, worked hard, went to an Ivy League school and ... is today once of the biggest left-wing socialists I know. Posted by: Flatbush Joe at August 23, 2013 06:57 PM (ZPrif) It's too bad that, while people are great at figuring things out, we're even better at talking ourselves into stupid shit. Evolution has spent a million years perfecting the excuse, above all else.

241 I had to cancel the annual trek to Wilmington for Fantasy Football draft due to sick kitty issues. So the young 'uns who make up most of the rest of the league are going to do the draft tonight with me participating via internet, starting at 1030 PM, pending one of them getting off work as a bar/restaurant manager that "early". And judging by Facebook posts they've been indulging all day. How do the yoots do it? I'll be drafting, dozing, drafting, dozing for two hours.

245 that idiotic phrase "together we can" resonates with people, especially immigrants and young people

Yea, until you need some like actual help and togetherness moving something heavy.  Then they don't know you.

Translation: "Together we can" means "I'm willing to pick someone else's pocket to pay for some other dude to help you out, but I ain't getting MY hands dirty"

Lena Denham, Oberlin grad and tattooed creator of the HBO show "Girls" was in high dungeon about this at the time.  Busy pointing out the racism of others.

 

Wonder what she has to say about it

Dunham tweeted at the time

 

 

"Hey Obies, remember the beautiful, inclusive and downright revolutionary history of the place you call home. Protect each other."

 

 

does protecting each other includes falsely accusing people or communities of racism?

251 This description of TFG is funny:
The man who had once been President of the United States was not mad.   So he told himself over and over again in the cavernous confines of his private residence atop the massive New United Nations building in New York.   It was inside this residence the Great Consulate had remained for the last seven years, locked away from the world outside, his only human visitor being his personal assistant whatÂ’s his name.   The Great Consulate could not recall names anymore, not even his own. So too were the memories of faces of those he knew now fading into some distant past within the tightly locked rooms of a mind long ago past its expiration date.   But he was not mad.   So he told himselfÂ… over and over again.   The skin had gone an ashen grey.   Almost inhuman in appearance, and covered in open, oozing sores that filled the rooms of the residence with an odd, fetid stench, that skin hung off the Great ConsulateÂ’s skeletal frame, gathered in layers of loose fitting wrinkles   around the neck, elbows, and knees.   For many years he had taken to wearing a single garment of clothing, a once pristine white toga that was soon after stained dark from the remains of his own bodily functions and the blood of himself and others. The toga was an idea he formed after watching an old film titled Caligula that became a favorite of the Great ConsulateÂ’s years ago when he entertained the idea of calling himself Emperor of Earth.   That idea eventually faded – but the toga remained.

252 Whenever I hear people wanting a conversation on race, I just replace "conversation" with "inquisition" and it begins to make sense. Because that's what it is.

258 And right on cue, Saturday Night Live is adding four more cast members. Shock of shocks, they're all white. Not that I watch SNL, but I blame Tracy Morgan.

259 What I would like to know, is when are hate crime hoaxes themselves are going to be considered a hate crime, and their perpetrators, aiders, and abettors charged?
