My Career as a White US Police Officer

 

My Career as a White Police Officer

My Career as a White Police Officer

https://www.unz.com/article/my-career-as-a-white-police-officer/?showcomments#comments

Comment by Paul Craig Roberts :

Is the article by the career police officer racist or the truth?  Is it racist even if it is true?  Once truth is racist, how can truth be spoken or written?  Calling truth “racist” causes easily intimidated people to flee from truth.

The officer is describing what it is like to be a cop in a city with a diverse population in the era of “affirmative action.”  He is not using the picture he provides of the black criminal as a portrait of all black Americans. All blacks are not this way.

I can remember when none were. When I was growing up in Atlanta black families were about as stable as white families.  White Americans were not afraid of black Americans.  There were differences, but they were social, not racial, just as there are social differences between the poor, middle, and upper classes. In cities schools were neighborhood schools and segregated by social or income class. In those days two-car families were rare. Schools were located so that kids from the surrounding community could walk to them. The South objected to school integration because it was seen as a second Reconstruction with northern idiots again intervening in a society that they knew nothing about simply in order to enjoy their virtue-signaling. 

In the decades since, nothing good has happened to blacks.  The liberals’ welfare programs destroyed the black family, as liberal Democrat Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan pointed out, resulting in fatherless black men from whom the black criminal class rose.  

School integration did no good for blacks or for whites.  Busing destroyed the PTA associations that had kept a strong parental voice in the public schools.  Serious disciplinary problems arose in schools, necessitating police officers and metal detectors in schools.  Standards had to be continually lowered for most blacks to graduate with their white classmates, thus cheating both of an education.  But lower standards didn’t work either.  The latest solution to an inferiority complex and sense of failure among black kids is to tell them that math, science, and the English language are tools of white oppression.  Essentially, merit has been eliminated.

Perhaps the worst thing the white liberals have done to blacks is to remove them from accountability. As it became racist to hold blacks accountable, whether in school, on the job, or elsewhere, blacks  ceased to learn accountability, whether to themselves or to society. You can see the absence of any sense of accountability in the officer’s description of blacks’ hostility to police. Having taught black Americans that they are victims of white people, the white liberals destroyed black integration into American society.  Perhaps this was the liberals’ intent–multiculturalism instead of assimilation. 

Blacks are correct that they have been victimized by whites.  But their victimization is not by generic white racists.  Blacks are victimized by white liberals who destroyed the black family and black accountability, who taught blacks that they were victims and to hate white people, thereby disrupting and preventing assimilation of blacks into American society. All the while the white liberals preened themselves on their compassionate leadership of the blacks and their funding of black agitation movements.

What can be done about it?  I do not know.  What can be done about a ruin when it is impossible to even acknowledge the ruin?

The US is undergoing societal collapse, and all that the hokey business advertisements from marketing firms depicting multicultural families achieve is a feel good hoax that cloaks the ruin behind a curtain.

Why Machines Will Never Rule the World - With Dr Jobst Landgrebe and Professor Barry Smith


Church of England vicar Jamie Franklin sits down with eminent thinkers Jobst Landgrebe and
Barry Smith to discuss the pair's recent book 'Why Machines Will Never Rule the World'. Contrary to the
bombastic predictions of Elon Musk and Klaus Shwab, there will never come a day when human beings create an
artificial intelligence that is equal or superior to themselves. We can all relax on that front because such an endeavour is a mathematical impossibility. In this conversation, we explore Landgrebe and Smith's argument in detail whilst touching on the true nature of human intelligence, free will, the extent to which emotion has a physical basis, demonic possession, mankind's need for religion even in a secular context and the definition and implication of complex systems for viruses and climate change. Strap yourselves in because this one goes deep. Find Why Machines Will Never Rule the World here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Machines-Wil...

UK Power Prices Skyrocket As Wind Generation Collapses

 

UK Power Prices Skyrocket As Wind Generation Collapses

Good thing the UK recently "war gamed" emergency plans to deal with energy shortfalls because a collapse in wind power has skyrocketed electricity prices, and network operator National Grid Plc might ask homes and businesses to reduce power use on Tuesday. 

Some hourly power contracts for Tuesday jumped above £1,200 ($1,445.92) a megawatt-hour on Epex Spot SE as wind generation is set to come to an abrupt halt, reported Bloomberg

Britain has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world but is prone to energy shortfalls when the wind doesn't blow -- making this type of renewable energy not so reliable.

For the first time, tight power supplies could force National Grid to deploy a new measure that pays households to reduce power consumption during peak demand hours. 

Thousands of households with smart meters have signed up for the demand reduction program that has been pilot-tested. It could be used for the first time, according to a warning issued by National Grid. 

National Grid had initially warned blackouts are possible this winter due to natural gas supply cuts following Russia's war in Ukraine. 

The collapse in wind power this week could be a perfect storm as temperatures are expected to be colder than average in the first half of the week, which will send electricity demand higher. The grid operator expects peak power consumption of around 41.1 gigawatts this evening and 42.4 gigawatts on Tuesday, indicating spare capacity would tighten as the grid struggles to produce enough electricity to satisfy demand. 

Bloomberg said the UK would need to fire up fossil fuel power generators due to the gap in wind power that will persist through Thursday. 

It's not even the middle of winter, and the UK's grid is already at risk of failure. This doesn't bode well over the coming months if winter is harsh.
