Black Monday Marks Mourning & Protest Over Farm Murders In South Africa

Crime, Criminal Injustice, Race, Racism, South-Africa, The West

As I demonstrated in “Into The Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America From Post-Apartheid South Africa,” the Indian and white minorities are the disproportionate targets of crime in South Africa.

Today is Black Monday in South Africa, which sees  Steve Hofmeyr appeal “for intervention for all victims, but especially [for] our South African women and children, black and white; and then for the single most dangerous job in the world – that of the South African commercial farmer.”

Mr. Hofmeyr is a great patriot, activist and voice for South Africa’s white farmers, facing extinction. I’d like to see patriots like Steve and Dan Roodt on every one of America’s vapid TV channels and online, over and over again, speaking stark facts to the world about the ethnic cleansing of white farming South Africa from its ancestral lands, farmed since the 1600s.

Quit interviewing the vanity personalities of the West on this topic. What do they know? Nothing! Let’s hear from men and women who’re in the thick of this unfathomable racial violence.

UPDATED IV (7/5/2021): Taking A Knee Is Akin To Taking A Pee

NEW COLUMN is: “Taking A Knee Is Akin To Taking A Pee.” It’s now on WND.COM. An excerpt:

“Taking a knee” stands for the specter of beefy, pampered athletes—they’re not sportsmen—wealthy beyond belief, striking a political pose on the football field, during the playing of the national anthem.

First to kneel when he was meant to stand was Colin Kaepernick. The reason the San Francisco 49er knelt, in 2016: “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.”

Like Kaepernick, current kneelers are not Copernicus. It’s hard to fathom what they actually want. A non-player activist has since narrowed the kneeling to “ending the killing of black men and black women by the police.”

To question the debasing of the English language, in this context, is probably considered racist, but I’ll take one for Team English. At first, I knew not what on earth “take a knee” meant. Commentators and anchors discussed this god-awful expression without explaining it. And my connection to American football is as weak as the connection Americans have to one another.

I grew up on a sports diet of basketball and real football—the kind Pelé played without a dog muzzle and with dazzling footwork. South African rugby, too, was faster and more fun than American football. Nevertheless, I root for my home team, the Seattle Seahawks.

Why so? We all inhabit this busy mart called America, but are united by nothing meaningful at all. The football fetish in America has intensified in the context of a country whose inhabitants agree on little else than the importance of The Game. Consequently, come playoff time, we come together fleetingly and superficially, to make a religion out of our respective professional football teams.

“Take a knee” must have originated in some linguistic botching, a lazy collapsing of alliteratively related words and phrases. I mean, you can “kneel,” “kneel down,” or “get down on your knees.” You most certainly can “bow down” or “take a bow.” But, “Take a knee”? It sounds like an adaptation from “take a p-e.” Actually, I’m not far off. The Giants’ Odell Beckham Jr. “had been flagged … for unsportsmanlike conduct when he celebrated a touchdown by impersonating a dog urinating.” …

… READ THE REST. “Taking A Knee Is Akin To Taking A Pee” is the current column, now on WND.COM.

You can find the Mercer Column weekly on the Unz Review, Daily Caller, WND.com, frequently at American Thinker, occasionally on  Townhall.com, and on other fine outlets, where The Column is a feature. It’s always posted, eventually, on IlanaMercer.com, under Articles. Please share.

UPDATE I (10/1/017): Introducing Cedric Ingram Lewis & Larry McCullough: 

UPDATE II (10/23): The Snake:

UPDATE II (6/9/2018): Ben Shapiro, quintessential cuckservative, recently wrote that “Trump Is Wrong To Disinvite The Eagles. He’s Even More Wrong To Lie About Them.”

Discussion ensued on Facebook.

Ilana Mercer: He’s no intellectual at all, Jack Kerwick. A big Second Hander is Ben Shapiro. I’ve had readers tell me that, given a chance, Cuck would agree with and adopt my opinions (say on diseasing misbehavior), hence, these readers “argue, Cuck is smart. I have no doubt that Shaprio would adopt others’ argument without a shred of credit, if the source were not a Fox panelist.

UPDATE III (5/7/021):
Low Bron James gets mocked.

UPDATE III (10/1/017): Reject Collective Guilting By The Bigoted Ta Nehisi Coates

English, History, Individualism Vs. Collectivism, Intellectualism, Intelligence, Race, Racism

Ta Nehisi Coates is no intellectual; he says ‘aks’ instead of ‘ask’ and is utterly incoherent, putting forth—in a lengthy interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes (who is manifestly bright)—turgid, sweeping, logically flawed argument.

If we must segregate intellectuals, then Thomas Sowell is a thinker, as is Walter E. Williams. But not this man. Alas, Coates’ fortunes are not merit-based. Yes, how does the adulation Coates receives square with his accusations, made into a career calling, of our racism, yours and mine?

Hayes attempted diplomatically, 6:30 minutes in, to refute Coates’ put down of all whites who voted Trump, but Hayes backed down from being intellectually forceful. Besides, Coats was unable to respond to the host. Simply couldn’t.

I’ve not yet READ “The First White President: The foundation of Donald Trump’s presidency is the negation of Barack Obama’s legacy.” However, the thesis seems a little dumb, for a negation of Obama is not necessarily racial, given that such an overwhelming number of whites had voted for 44. A vote for Obama, moreover, on the part of blacks was most certainly racial. But that’s OK.

As to “America’s founding sins,” as Coats calls slavery. I was not party to that, so I reject his collective guilt. We all should.

UPDATE I: On Gab, someone point out that, “African-American vernacular is a legitimate dialect of English, no different than southern or Australian or any other dialect. That doesn’t make it inferior.”

REPLY: This cultivated African-American dialect was, I believe, absent in the 1950s through the 1960s and even the 70s. It’s a racial, not regional, dialect, adopted, it would seem, artificially for political ends.

UPDATE II: DON on Gab: Having not been alive in those decades I can’t personally refute that (ridiculous, I mean come on) claim, but have a listen to this 1956 interview with a Black American and tell me it doesn’t sound quite a bit like blacks today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvEE9zdHpcY

REPLY: The most educated of blacks once sounded like educated Americans, not like the exotic exhibits you make them out to be. Do yo think people should strive to speak great English, the language of the founders & of the founding docs? Or bastardize the language to pidgin english? Leftists are with you.

UPDATE III (10/1/017):

MTP asks Ta-Nullity Coats, aka Ta Nehisi Coates: “Are you optimistic about the future of your son in the US?” Oracle answers: “I’m optimistic about my son.” Me: “Ta-ta tembel.” (That means stupid in Hebrew.)
