The false and dangerous Southern culture leftists pushed onto American blacks by Andrea Widburg
I’ve been sitting for a few days on a story out of Arkansas, which saw a kindergarten graduation break out in a wild brawl—between the adults, not the children. The moment I saw the headline “brawl,” I figured there was a good chance that the people involved were black, and I was right. Sadly, that’s the best bet whenever you see stories about brawls, deadly or otherwise, at schools, airports, shopping malls, concerts, restaurants, sporting events, etc.
What’s ironic is that American blacks mistakenly believe that this impulsivity is part of their natural, African heritage. It isn’t. It’s borrowed from the worst of pre-modern white southern culture. Blacks were successfully abandoning the effects of this culture during the 20th century, only to have the communists return it to them, effectively keeping blacks from continuing their sharp ascent up the American cultural ladder.
The reason I’m writing about this story today, even though it’s a few days old, is because of a video that a good friend of mine recommended, explaining both the vast divide between America and England, despite America’s roots in England, and the modern political scene. And while the video doesn’t touch on black culture, it reminded me that American blacks are trapped in 18th and 19th century white Appalachian culture which was itself a remnant of 17th and 18th century Scots-Irish culture in the old country.
The podcast, called Triggernometry, is hosted by a pair of super-smart libertarian guys from England. (My link is to YouTube, but you can find it on Apple or other podcast sites.) Recently, they had on their show Richard Miniter, an American journalist.
Miniter explains that America’s culture today is still shaped by the four different groups of British people who immigrated to the colonies in the 17th and 18th centuries: There were the moralizing Puritans who settled in New England and became today’s moralizing wokesters, the aristocratic “Cavaliers” of the English Civil War who brought their gentry ideology and slavery to the South; the merchants, who settled the mid-Atlantic Coast, and the border people (the Scots-Irish) who settled the Appalachian Ridge, with a heavy concentration in the South. (And I’ve simplified greatly what he says, so I recommend watching/listening to Miniter himself.)
I actually knew about those Scots-Irish settlers because of Thomas Sowell’s revelatory “Black Rednecks & White Liberals”. What makes the book so interesting is that Sowell explains that modern black culture—the self-destructive ghetto culture of crime, sexual promiscuity, drug & alcohol abuse, and explosive, intemperate violence—has absolutely nothing to do with the culture that the slaves brought with them from Africa. Yes, Africa was a warlike place, but that didn’t exist within tribes; it was, instead, a chronic state of war between hostile tribes.
Once in America, blacks were exposed to that Appalachian, or transplanted Scots-Irish culture, which was the culture of common southerners, as opposed to that of the “elite” land-owning class of slaveholders.
In his inimitable way (complex ideas, simple language) Sowell describes the Scots-Irish culture, aka the Redneck culture, and I bet you’ll find it sounds very familiar. I hasten to add that, while I’ve omitted the footnotes for clarity, Sowell has a footnote for every single statement in this quoted paragraph:
“The cultural values and social patterns prevalent among Southern whites included an aversion to work, proneness to violence, neglect of education, sexual promiscuity, improvidence, drunkenness, lack of entrepreneurship, reckless searches for excitement, lively music and dance, and a style of religious oratory marked by strident rhetoric, unbridled emotions, and flamboyant imagery. ... Touchy pride, vanity, and boastful self-dramatization were also part of this redneck culture...”
While Southern whites still like to boast of being rednecks, most began to abandon the negative aspects of redneck behavior in the second half of the 20th century. Sowell explains this cultural change as a combination of being exposed to broader American and European cultures during the First and Second World Wars, and the effect of seeing themselves in all their ugliness on television during the Civil Rights Movement.
Meanwhile, late 20th-century blacks were moving in the opposite direction. After slavery ended, blacks began to work hard to integrate into the higher levels of white society through education, hard work, and stable marriages. By the mid-20th century, blacks were one of the fastest upwardly mobile cohorts in America.
And then, it all came to a screeching halt. The problem, writes Sowell, is that in the 1960s, blacks were encouraged to embrace the “hillbilly” culture as “their” culture, which it was not:
From the 1960s onward, much of the transplanted Southern culture would—like “black English”—be seen as sacrosanct features of a distinctive black “identity,” despite their mirroring very similar cultural patterns among Southern whites in times past.
White liberal encouragement for blacks to embrace this non-authentic “black” culture had disastrous consequences, especially as marriage—the single most stabilizing institution in any culture—collapsed in the black community. I urge you to read Sowell’s book to learn more about what white leftists did to blacks, which could be seen as something worse, in its own way, than slavery.
I say this because, while black bodies were enslaved in the antebellum period, their integrity remained. The 1960s leftists, however, destroyed that integrity, shattering generations of lives.
Worse, they’re still doing it. As recently as 2020, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture put out a piece of garbage telling blacks that white culture (read: bad for blacks) imposed on blacks horrible things such as individualism; the nuclear family; rationality and objectivity; ambition and discipline; respect for authority; and delayed gratification as a key to success (yellow highlights on the poster are mine):

With all that in mind, here’s footage of that latest brawl in Arkansas:

I desperately wish that a sizable cohort of blacks would realize that what they’re doing to themselves—the violence, impulsivity, emotional incontinence, irrationality, broken families, etc.—has nothing to do with the authentic black experience. Instead, they are victims of 1960s communism who have achieved every tyrant’s greatest dream: they have internalized the prison bars their tyrant created for them.

Horrific details reveal ex-Auburn vet professor’s last moments as prosecutors seek death penalty for accused murderer
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for the suspect accused of murdering former university professor Dr. Julee Gard Schnuelle — as they released gruesome new details about how she was ambushed and stabbed to death while walking her dog.
The announcement came Monday as Rashad Dabney III, 28, appeared in court, charged with two counts of capital murder — murder during a kidnapping and murder during a robbery.
Investigators believe Schnuelle, a 59-year-old retired veterinarian and professor at Alabama’s Auburn University, was ambushed by a stranger Saturday morning on a trail in Auburn’s Kiesel Park, where she walked her dog every day.
The mom was then dragged several hundred feet off the main path into a wooded area, where she was stabbed multiple times, WRBL reported, citing arrest warrants. Her dog was found unharmed near her body.
Evidence directly tied Dabney to the crime scene, according to the report, which did not elaborate.
The killer took Schnuelle’s keys and drove off in her red Ford F-150, which was later found abandoned in a creek bed less than five miles from Kiesel Park, the documents said.
Dabney was arrested a day later when someone called 911 about a suspicious-looking person about two miles from where the truck was abandoned.
The suspected murderer was previously arrested in December 2023 in Virginia on a weapons charge involving a sawed-off shotgun, WRBL reported. His only known other court appearance was in 2016 for a speeding ticket in Montgomery, the report said.

The brutal Charlotte murder was unreported by legacy media, they avoided the story like the plague since it went against their narrative.
Of course, for more than a year, they vilified Daniel Penny for accidentally killing a homeless man threatening other passengers, and now, Van Jones stated that the killer on the Charlotte train needs understanding because "he is hurting".
The mass media is complicit in these deaths. Absolutely disgusting what our media has turned into.

The murderer in Charlotte just got bad news.
He is being charged with TERRORISM involving MURDER under 18 USC 1992(a)(7) and (b)(1).
quote:
18 U.S. Code § 1992 - Terrorist attacks and other violence against railroad carriers and against mass transportation systems on land, on water, or through the air
(a) General Prohibitions.—Whoever, in a circumstance described in subsection (c), knowingly and without lawful authority or permission—
(7) commits an act, including the use of a dangerous weapon, with the intent to cause death or serious bodily injury to any person who is on property described in subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (4);
(b) Aggravated Offense.—Whoever commits an offense under subsection (a) of this section in a circumstance in which—
(1) the railroad on-track equipment or mass transportation vehicle was carrying a passenger or employee at the time of the offense;
.... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or life, or both, and if the offense resulted in the death of any person, the person may be sentenced to death.
Now that stupid fucking judge who released this murderer to the halfway house SHE RUNS, cannot just grant him a get out of jail to be free to murder again card.
ETA with Video about the "judge" who isnt a lawyer in NC let this murderous fuck out to HER halfway house.

That murder of the woman on the train was incredibly horrific and I don’t recommend watching it. Amazing how fast she just lost consciousness. The other sad thing is she had a BLM poster in her apartment and would have probably naively helped the guy in any way she could.
There was another illegal that threw a young black woman off an overpass which broke her skull and face killing her. Haven’t heard much about that killing either.

Bernhard Goetz Lives in the Same Neighborhood Even Today In the years following the attention on the case, Bernhard Goetz made sporadic appearances in the public eye. Immediately after the incident, he spoke out against the violence and unrest in New York City. In 2001, he ran for Mayor of New York but lost. Four years later, in 2005, he made headlines again when he ran for public advocate, though he failed in that bid as well. Goetz was back in the news in 2013 when he was arrested for selling marijuana to an undercover police officer. However, the charges were dropped as the prosecution took too long to bring the case to trial. ...
In a 2017 interview, Goetz stated that he had no regrets about his actions and stood by them. By 2020, reports emerged of him walking around Manhattan, with claims that he still lived in the same apartment he had years ago. He is known for his love of animals, particularly squirrels, and is also an advocate for medical marijuana use. Over the years, he has become a symbolic figure in popular culture and the social history of the country, with his case continuing to serve as a reminder for many social justice causes. _________________________________________

I disagree, everyone should watch it, we are not children. We need to see evil and fight evil. We need to hate the MSM more and Dems the most, for they are the ones telling us we are evil.

NYPD officials have identified the suspect who they say set an elderly Queens couple on fire in their home Monday, likely while searching for property to steal.
On Tuesday afternoon, authorities said they are looking for 42-year-old Jamel McGriff in connection to the crime. They say he was last seen on video earlier in the day pawning two cellphones in the Bronx.
Police said he should be considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached.
It all unfolded when officials responded to a fire at a home on 254th Street before 3:30 p.m. where they found a 77-year-old man and a 78-year-old woman dead.
They have since been identified as Frank and Maureen Olton. According to police, both victims were stabbed before the house went up in flames.
The woman was found lying on the first floor. Accelerant appeared to have been poured on her body, starting the fire.
The man was found in the basement where he was tied with bungee cords to a column supporting the house. He was also set on fire but that fire appears to have extinguished itself.
Video of the suspect was recovered from neighbors' security cameras.
NYPD officers said Tuesday that McGriff has an extensive criminal record stretching 30 years and was released from prison in 2023.
He was out on parole after serving 16 years for robbery. He violated his parole by failing to register as a Level 3 sex offender, the highest risk repeat offender, according to New York State's offender registry. He is also wanted in connection with two recent robberies in Manhattan.
Detectives believe McGriff spent five hours in the victims' home, likely searching for property to steal before setting it ablaze.
He exited the home carrying two bags.
Neighbors reported an unknown man knocking on doors, asking to charge a cellphone. At least one neighbor said they turned the man away before he approached the victims' house.
Surveillance video recovered by detectives shows the suspect knocking on the back door, and the 77-year-old victim opening it and letting him in, at around 10:15 a.m. Monday.
That same surveillance video shows the suspect leaving the home at 3:08 p.m., shortly before the house went up in flames.
Neighbors called the victim's son, an FDNY paramedic who was off duty at the time of the fire, who rushed home to discover his parents dead.
The suspect was described as around 30 to 40 years of age with a medium build. He was last seen wearing a black hat, a black jacket, blue jeans, and black sneakers.
Police said there is no known connection between McGriff and the victims, beyond this "chance encounter," at this time.

I keep the Spanish Inquisition® in my hand at all times when I'm on the MARTA.
We had a savage keep inching closer last year while waiting on the train after the printing show and a coworker was clueless about it. SC and I got between her and it and let it know we were armed and would LOVE to send it straight to hell and it scurried off.

"I got that white girl".
The other passengers surrounding her seat, did nothing, not even a "are you OK?". Two of them basically got up and left. Eventually after the killer left the train, people started to realize what happened.
Trump address the killing towards the end of the clip.
