This is the quintessence of paternalism.

Thank you for sharing this.

You're welcome. It is exactly that, the quintessence is the perfect description. All liberalism is; it's small wonder those who fight for it and win always wind up slaves themselves (much to their surprise and consternation).

To add to this, it is not the responsibility of the citizen to de-escalate. We have allowed the creation of this entity ("the police") into society. They are charged with the responsibility of "law enforcement". "Law enforcement" must be seen as a potential infringement upon the rights of people, which must then always be considered suspect, and well guarded against. And, again, "law enforcement" should ONLY be civilly allowed to bring suspects before justice, and expressly to not exact "justice" themselves, no matter what they think they saw or know. There is no circumstance in which society should allow cops to exact "justice".

Part of the problem is that Officers have two roles:
1) Collect evidence
2) Arrest

Take away that 2nd role and these problems go away. Police officers should not have arrest powers. At least not any more than ordinary citizens.

An unarmed traffic stop should pretty much never lead to an arrest. This whole idea that people need to be forcefully arrested and carted off to jail every time there's a goddamn misdemeanor has just gotten ridiculously out of hand.

Were you a self-hating white man whose core impetus to that strongest of emotions was based on your whiteness, then by all means yes.

I missed this post.

Since we are speaking frankly, shall I mention the subset of humanity that has made self loathing an international trademark and have seemed to have taught all of Western Civilization the trick, or is that verboten?

I would add that the left embarked upon a mad, rampaging campaign to sow self-hatred in the American black man. A fine example of this is one black calling another "n i g g g e r". I grew up in some $#@! 'hoods, at least one of them predominantly black. Back in the mid-60s if a kneegrow called another kneegrow "n i g g g e r", there was soon to ensue an energetic fight. Then all of a sudden, everyone is doing it with impunity, black on black.

Now, when I was in teacher training in NYC, we had to take all manner of psychology classes, two full year's worth. In at least one of them, the phenomenon of braak people calling each other by the dreaded "n-word" was justified and even lauded as black people "reclaiming" the term for themselves. A bigger load of utter bull$#@! would be difficult to imagine. The use of that moniker only helped to further foment the brands of self-hatred that is now standard equipment in the black "community". Another was, and remains, the notion that lighter skin is indicative of "better". I saw many examples of this in my two years teaching in ghetto schools in NYC. The most notable was near the end of my first year, perhaps May 84. Two braak girls got into a verbal tete-a-tete, one being notably lighter skinned than the other. At one point the darker girl made the fatal error of telling her more lightly complected opponent, "I'm better looking than you", to which the café-au-lait participant immediately retorted with "I'm better looking than your black, burned-up ass." It was over right there and then, the darker girl having been shut down, the classroom full of students going, "OOOOoooooo..." because every single person in that room had long ago bought into the lie so utterly and tacitly that it was tantamount to a gravity question, which is to say that it was no question at all. They all "knew" the lighter girl spoke an irrefutable truth and had publicly disemboweled her rival. I remember how badly I felt for the defeated party.

As we noted in the other thread regarding Freehold, I'm sure you are well aware of Asbury Park and what went on there. I spent two years of my festering youth in an urban prison/education camp known as Asbury Park HS this was 1978 and 1979, the rubble was still smoldering from massive riots that burned down half the town in 1972 IIRC. I won't bore with "glory days" stories, because they were not, much more like "A Boy Named Sue" than anything else...I grew up quick and I grew up mean.

But I just had to comment on the "correctness" of that comment.

To this day I recall a particular insult in the same vein, that was heaped on the darker colored coloreds by lighter skinned ones: "Your ugly ass, monkey looking, mug" or variants.

But "niggger" was not thrown about much at all. Certainly not black on black that I recall, it was usually used by whites deliberately looking to provoke an unhinged and out of control response to start a fight or riot.

So this self-hate thing is very real among black people, and a certain subpopulation of whites (lefties). To dismiss it is tantamount to the dismissal of gravity on earth: it is self-evidently false, and underestimating its effect is similarly foolhardy. I've observed this very carefully for several decades and stand satisfied that it is not only real and deeply deleterious, but that it was artificially introduced by interests that do not coincide with a healthy and right-sized sense of self in the average man.

See my first comment.

There was a song called Jigaboos and Wannabes in the 1988 Spike Lee film School Daze. But you'd never know it from reading Wikipedia or looking on GoogToob. Not even Spike Lee is immune from the Memory Hole.

Seems like Al is spouting "hate speech."

That's what they called it when Bill Cosby did it. How long before a dozen women suddenly remember that he drugged them and raped them forty years ago?

Where I grew up in S. Cal, all my black friends called each other "Niggah". It was more like saying "bro" than an insult.

Would someone inform Al Sharpton and Whoopie Goldblum about and individual named Thomas Kelly? Maybe because he appealed to a patriarchal figure while being beat to death excludes him...

I'm still not entirely convinced that what Goldberg said was an admission that cops ever brutalize white people. But if it is, I find it interesting that she happened to say it while a rumor was circulating that those five cops are gang members.

The more the narrative crumbles, the more the distractions escalate.
