Racial-reality and the New Orleans Nightmare
http://www.vdare.com/
By Steve Sailer
It was the Perfect Storm.
No, not Hurricane Katrina. That could have been much worse. Back in the 1990s, my friend Rob Brennan wrote an unpublished novel called Category 5 about a ferocious hurricane that strikes New Orleans at the worst possible angle. Katrina, in contrast, was a Category 4 hurricane and hit New Orleans only a glancing blow.
No, the perfect storm was actually the combination of social and governmental incompetence at local, state, and federal levels—and unmentionable racial reality.
Republican Presidents are supposed to provide adult supervision for crooked Democratic urban machines. But the White House is now occupied by George W. Bush, a politician so irresponsible, so uninterested in proficiency and honesty among his minions that late last year he tried to appoint as Secretary of Homeland Security the egregious Bernie Kerik.
Mr. Bush shows no evidence of holding his appointees accountable, so long as they remain loyal to him personally. Just as he has never vetoed a bill, he almost never fires anyone for poor performance.
VDARE.com readers are familiar with the contempt with which Mr. Bush treats his sworn duties to uphold the laws against illegal immigration. Now the whole country is starting to catch on to his disregard for his duties in his pursuit of image over effectiveness.
His invade-the-world-invite-the-world policies have left America unprepared for predictable domestic troubles, as Paul Craig Roberts recently pointed out here.
The ineptitude displayed by the Louisiana state government is also unsurprising. The state is unique in having a Latin political tradition (it uses the Code Napoleon rather than the English common law, even though Napoleon didn't release his code until the year after he sold Louisiana to Thomas Jefferson), a culture in which the Argentinean demagogue Juan Peron would have felt at home.
The unofficial state motto is "Laissez les bons temps rouler" or "Let the good times roll." Compare that to New Hampshire's official motto of "Live free or die," which display a rather different understanding of freedom. Louisiana's reigning philosophy is freedom from responsibility.
It's a general rule that the tastier the indigenous cuisine, the lousier the government. Its culture has provided America with jazz, A Street Car Named Desire, and the great American comic novel of the 20th Century, A Confederacy of Dunces.New Orleans is a nice place to visit. But you wouldn't want to raise your kids there.
All this is now common parlance, more or less. What you won’t hear, except from me, is that "Let the good times roll" is an especially risky message for African-Americans. The plain fact is that they tend to possess poorer native judgment than members of better-educated groups. Thus they need stricter moral guidance from society.
New Orleans itself is two-thirds black. It has had nothing but black mayors since 1978. All four of them are from the light-skinned "creole of color" elite, including the notorious Marc H. Morial, now head of the National Urban League. The city government is corrupt and lackadaisical. While the police department has perhaps rebounded from the depths it reached a decade ago when an officer was condemned to death for having a mother of three rubbed out by drug gangstas in his employ, nobody should be surprised that last week numerous officers ran away, and some even freelanced as looters.
In a racially diverse democracy like New Orleans, voting for good government takes a backseat to voting for your tribe's representatives in the eternal ethnic tussle over slices of the pie. As the ultra-competent but not terribly democratic founder of the state of Singapore, Lee Kwan Yew, noted in a recent interview:
"In multiracial societies, you don't vote in accordance with your economic interests and social interests, you vote in accordance with race and religion."
For instance, after blacks took control of New Orleans, they required new police recruits to live in the city itself as a way to exclude white cops. Dean M. Shapiro writes for Court TV's "Crime Library":
"The department was being depleted of experienced officers and the numbers within the ranks were decreasing as crime stats were rising at an alarming rate… In order to beef up the rapidly dwindling numbers of NOPD, the department was forced to lower its acceptance standards. Recruits with criminal records, DWIs, unfavorable employment records and dishonorable discharges from the Armed Forces were allowed to enter the Police Academy, whereas they had previously been excluded… Their records were expunged and, on completion of their training, they were issued badges, guns and patrol cars and turned loose on the street… These new officers were expected to suddenly straighten up and begin enforcing the laws they had not-so-long-ago been breaking. They were expected to arrest those suspected of crimes, even if those accused had once been their street buddies. But this was an unrealistic expectation."
The state's Southeast Louisiana Hurricane Evacuation and Sheltering Plan made all the right noises about evacuating residents without cars by school bus. But state and local authorities apparently failed to execute, as the famous picture of about 200 New Orleans school buses neatly lined up in a flooded parking lot shows.
It also should have been expected that a large fraction of New Orleans's lower class blacks would not evacuate before a disaster. Many are too poor to own a car, or too untrustworthy to get a ride with neighbors, or too shortsighted to worry.
Judging from their economic and educational statistics, New Orleans' blacks are not even an above-average group of African-Americans, such as you find in Atlanta or Seattle, but more like Miami's or Milwaukee's. About half are below the poverty line. With the national black average IQ around 85, New Orleans' mean black IQ would probably be in the lower 80s or upper 70s.
And of course nobody, despite what they may say, is all that much startled that, when the city's whites and more prosperous and/or foresightful blacks left, New Orleans quickly turned into its demographic analog, Haiti—where 2004's Tropical Storm Jeanne unleashed similar mayhem and chaos.
Bill Quigley, a law professor at Loyola of New Orleans who represents political prisoners in Haiti, stayed behind with his wife, who is a nurse. He noted:
"I had always hoped that Haiti would become more like New Orleans, but what's happened is New Orleans has become more like Haiti here recently."
In contrast to New Orleans, there was only minimal looting after the horrendous 1995 earthquake in Kobe, Japan—because, when you get down to it, Japanese aren't blacks. For example, the per capita imprisonment rate for Asian-Americans is about 1/30th that of African-Americans.
Nor is it surprising that the black refugees at the Superdome and the convention center failed to get themselves organized to make conditions more livable. Poor black people seldom cooperate well with each other because they don't trust other blacks much, for the perfectly rational reason that they commit large numbers of crimes against each other.
Indeed, as Francis Fukuyama's best book, Trust, makes clear, in most of the world—outside Japan and the more British-Germanic-Nordic parts of Europe and their overseas offspring like America—people seldom trust fellow citizens beyond their extended families enough to voluntarily come together to solve community problems. Force is generally needed to get them to work with each other. Which is why "civic society" is relatively rare.
(Why Mr. Bush wants to import vast numbers of additional immigrants from cultures where unrelated residents have no tradition of self-organizing as free individuals is a mystery for another day.)
But if all these disasters in New Orleans should have been expected, why did nobody at any level of government act as if they expected them?
Because to anticipate the problems would require noticing that racial differences are relevant. And that can ruin one's career.
Governmental bodies naturally decay rapidly in competence, especially when free discussion of unpleasant realities is suppressed.
New Orleans should remind us that we still live in a harsh world. The make-believe that passes for public discourse, even at the elite level, simply isn't adequate for protecting American citizens.

From the VDARE BLOG:
It looks very much as though the biggest casualty from Hurricane Katrina is going to be race relations. The T.V. footage and photographs carried by the MSM has established in the mind of observers world-wide the fact that the relapse into savagery in New Orleans was an African-American phenomenon. Not that the MSM care to say this in print of course: but their cowardice merely demonstrates again the value of some courageous and clear thinking blogs.
The Logical Meme excoriates an MSM attempt to excuse what has happened:
If the city of Detroit or Chicago were flooded, there would be the type of looting, raping, violence and savagery we are currently witnessing in New Orleans. If the city of La Jolla or Burlington were flooded, we would not.
At View from the Right, the implacably tough-minded Lawrence Auster sets the wider perspective:
…the fact remains that the non-criminal part of the black population is incapable of getting control of black savagery and incapable of running a civilized society. When we remember that white society is inevitably going to be blamed for the incompetence of New Orlean’s black-run government and the general mayhem…we are obligated to say frankly that the racial deficit in civilizational abilities so dramatically on display in New Orleans is not the fault of whites, and cannot be changed by whites.
American Renaissance - for whom this topic is home turf - republishes its prescient essay on the Los Angeles 1992 riot
Blacks live in a society in which all evils can be blamed on other people. No matter how barbaric their behavior, they can count on whites to offer excuses and foot the bill.
AR also supplies an extrordinanarily honest essay - which must have been painful to write - published in a Jamaican newspaper by a Black columnist:
The dark side of black people -Leighton Levy The Jamaica Star Online September 2nd 2005
I am proud to be a black man. There are times however, when I wish that certain people and I did not share that trait… The pictures I have been seeing are of people - black people - stealing shoes, diapers, and television sets. Not food and definitely not water…I am beginning to believe that black people, no matter where in the world they are, are cursed with a genetic predisposition to steal, murder, and create mayhem…
Just once, I would like for us blacks to take the high road in situations like this, where instead of showing our darkest side, we put our best foot forward.
Doubtful if we will be seeing Leighton Levy appearing in an American newspaper any time soon!

Dark side of black people?
You will have a very hard time arguing that they are criminals, raping, and looting etc because they are black rather than because they are the poorest dregs of society.
If it were the poorest tracts of white society there isntead then i should imagine you would get all the same.
I was rather interested in this quote in the beeb
"A National Guard soldier described a similar incident. "We found a young girl raped and killed in the bathroom [at the arena]," he said.
"Then the crowd got the man and they beat him to death."
When the news of that israeli dissident who gunned down arabs and was then beaten to death came out loads of people shoputed how it showed the arabs as being savages etc.
Methinks this indicates that any just about any people under strain will react violently to protect the masses.

I think it's very much a social thing - black society in general makes it far cooler to be a gangster and have a gun etc. I know certainly not all black people think this, and similarly there are many white people who believe this, but generally it seems to be a black-domninated mentality, and i believe that, were a mostly-white city thrown into the same situation, it wouldnt have been so bad due to the lack of this mentality - to an extent.

My major worry for multi-racial states like the US and UK is that patience, interest and concern for the Black community's problems are running out. After decades of programmes, excuses and investment, the political elite have given up--they have more pressing (and more easily sold (!)) problems to solve with the rise of the Hispanic and Muslim challenge to 'integration'.
The eyebrow raising push by the CRE for segregated schooling for Black boys was a last roll of the dice for the Black lobby. They know they have a problem but that the wider community doesn't any longer blame racist Whites for Black failure (even if it's still necessary to pretend).
Racial politics are changing 180 degrees and Black leaders are worried, here and in the US, that their pole position on the grievance and expolitation track are going to be lost to better organised and even more problematic minorities.
Black politics, already an aggressive and exploitative burden is going to become even more aggressive--what will happen when the wider community starts to say 'No'?
Euripides
Anyone noticed that in pictures it's always the whites who're helping and the blacks looting? Hell, thay're even shooting at the helicopters that are bringing them aid! People are acting like animals and yet still others are ignorant.
i saw many pictures of young black people helping elderly white people get to the buses/choppers.
ArthurOliver
I agree that Whites can be savages too, but where we differ is that I believe Blacks are far more likely to find themselves among the 'poorest tracts' of society and to act like savages. It may be entirely cultural, or it may be influenced by genes, but it's a fact. And I object to the racist Black mafia blaming Whitey - as has already started.
look thats a debate for another time.
Look in britain. Crime adn unemployment in Bangladeshi communities is far higher than in Indian and Pakistani. Is it because bangladeshis are savages with bad genes? Unlikely.
A rather more tangible explanation is that due to difference in immigration, and settlement areas the bangladeshi communities are much much poorer, and it is this poverty which accoounts for crime and unemployment.
Now personally i don't feela great enemity for my racial group, but these people would rather settle in the most run down horrid area of london despite it having sky high crime and unemployment, just to be with their fellow bangladeshis, where if they spread themselves around england they wouldn't have these issues.
Racism is dying out fast in this country, and it is the ethni communities that need to realise this and quit somewhat with the self-regulated apartheid.
Bismarck
I wish people would stop trying to use this tragedy just to score a cheap political point.
Jamie
look thats a debate for another time....
Does Bizzy argue that Palestinian behaviour shouldn't influence Israeli policy? Or Jamie argue that majority behaviour doesn't affect minorities and their interests? People have a right to consider how the actions of other peoples affect them.
That Whites in the US and UK refuse to act like Israelis or US Blacks is the meaning of the Vdare articles. You're not being anti-racist guys, you're being anti-White.
ArthurOliver
Obscurant drivel. Like saying anti-war proponents shouldn't point to the horrors of war to support their arguments.

At least wait until it's under control, theres still people dying out there.

Clue: The thread isn't about the flood--it's about the failure of politicians to handle honestly the (insurmountable? example?) racial problems of multi-racial states.

That people with more comfortable lives are less prone to whacked out behaviour? Then I agree.
But wheres the proof that poor whites don't behave the same as poor blacks?
Where's the proof that you would react differently under extreme conditions?
I actually read some of your links(not all them because godamm, there are a lot) and I'm disappointed. Do you think that schools with a high proportion of black students tend to be bad because they have a high proportion of black students? I went to a predominantly white school, and it was pretty ****, and there was no shortage of drug dealers and wannabe gangsters. What do you think about sociological studies that show low teacher expectation can lower standards in relation to the educational (under)achievement of Afro-Caribean boys?
Poor Whites may 'behave the same as poor Blacks' (although I've never seen any proof - in our society, in the wider world, or from a scientific study which would shows different races behave the same), but if Blacks are much more likely to be poor, and then much more likely to behave badly, it's reasonable to think less favourably of Blacks.

''All criticism of “racial profiling” must stop. “Racial profiling” must in fact be stepped up if the large bestial section of the black population is to be put in the one place suitable for them—jail.''
Really, Arthur?
i'll admit that there are two major reasons that I don't believe this, neither of them particularly scientific
1) we are all equal in God's eyes.
"O Mankind!
Most certainly, it is
We( God almighty) who have
Created you all
From a single (pair)
Of a male and a female,
And it is we who
Have made you into
Nations and tribes,
That ye may recognise each other
(Not that ye may despise each other).
Verily, the noblest of you
In the sight of Allah
Is (he who is) the most
Righteous of you." 49:13
"And mankind is naught but a single nation." 2:213
And 2) can apply to everyone:
I and almost my entire family are black Africans, and can honestly say that my parents are the people that I admire most in the world, and I have never seen anything 'ba=estial' or uncivilised about them. And I would hope that people could say the same thing about me.
So any talk about genetic or evolutionary superiority doesn't hold water for me.

Is (he who is) the most
Righteous of you." 49:13
"And mankind is naught but a single nation." 2:213
And 2) can apply to everyone:
I and almost my entire family are black Africans, and can honestly say that my parents are the people that I admire most in the world, and I have never seen anything 'ba=estial' or uncivilised about them. And I would hope that people could say the same thing about me.
So any talk about genetic or evolutionary superiority doesn't hold water for me.
