I think this whole nonsense about "biased tests" had its genesis in a few SAT tests having verbal section questions that required one to know the general anatomy of a yacht. Because it's so shocking that a test formulated by an academic organization in the Northeast and linked heavily to the northeastern establishment would ask a question about a favorite play toy of the northeastern establishment. Now, it has been a long time since any yacht questions were asked on SATs, (and I never saw one, when I took it in June 1994), so those concerns were moot. Just in case, my SAT prep material included learning the parts and anatomy of a yacht.

About the "Freedoms of Whites" section: Missouri and a lot of other slave states had laws against educating slaves, and at St. Louis, black St. Louisans who wanted to learn how to read were taught aboard riverboats that sailed near the east bank of the river east of the state line. I think the real reason for that was to preclude enslaved blacks from being used as insurrectionist fodder. They say a little learning can be a dangerous thing, and educating blacks then would have been indoctrinating them with insurrectionist propaganda. Just look at the wacky things that blacks today believe -- AR did an article about that a number of years ago.

The Fugitive Slave Law was probably on the most capriciously enforced laws in American history.

I think part of the reason why the 14th Amendment had the implicit incorporation doctrine is because various slave states antebellum passed these censorship laws, because the First Amendment didn't apply to the states pre-14th.

Re: EEOC: High School Diploma Requirement Might Violate Americans with Disabilities Act

Question Diversity — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:18:15 -0000

Ironically, the very same EEOC bureaucrats who issued this letter had
to have attained certain educational requirements (way beyond high
school) to get their Federal jobs. In fact, when the Federal civil
service shifted away from exams to education requirements, that was
largely a sop to affirmative action, because the kind of blacks that
would want to become Federal employees wouldn’t be able to pass tests,
(queue lawsuits about disparate impact), but they always could find some
college that would give them a diploma based on their black skin
privilege. And it meant more business for the education-industrial
complex, which makes most Democrats happy. Look for more and more
police and fire departments to shift away from “problematic” disparate
impact lawsuit minefield exams and tests for hiring and promotion to
mere requirements for a diploma or degree for hiring then some more
advanced diploma or educational certification for promotion. The same
liberal Democrats who love the disparate impact suits over exams will
find no problem with this, because more college means more people paying
tuition to to the education-industrial complex, and again, some fly by
night college will give protected minorities a diploma.

High School today is so easy for the most part that those who don’t
get a diploma are either blatantly developmentally disabled, in which
case they won’t be seeking regular jobs, or they’re too lazy to show up
to school, in which case they will only be seeking legitimate employment
when their probation officer makes them. The personnel/HR managers
that are hiring for jobs whose applicants should have a high school
diploma are basically using the HS diploma requirement as an attendance
proxy and not an intelligence proxy. A high school diploma means
nothing academically or intellectually these days. All it means is that
you’ll usually show up to work like you usually showed up to high
school.

If the Feds want to do anything in this realm, it should be on the
“college” end. Many jobs that require a college degree really don’t
need college-educated individuals. Except that education has been so
dumbed down that there’s “mission creep” in this venue — The more
students go to college because they think they “have to,” the more
college gets dumbed down, and the less valuable a college degree
becomes. Therefore, more and more jobs are requiring a college diploma
as a proxy for a person having at least an average intellect and
faithful attendance habits. But the EEOC will never do this, because
it would ultimately mean that fewer people go to college, and therefore,
fewer people pay tuition to the education-industrial complex. A few
high school students not finishing high school means virtually nothing
to the bottom line of the education-industrial complex, because most
high schools don’t charge tuition.

Re: Ron Paul and Race

Question Diversity — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:44:04 -0000

We already know that Ron Paul is not a race realist or white nationalist at heart. My vote for him is based on a calculation that among the existing candidates, his world view is closest to mine. Michele Bachmann has the best immigration record of the field, and even broached the 1965 taboo in a debate, but she is now only in the race to be a blocking back for Romney, so she is not a serious candidate IMHO.

Re: Ron Paul and Race

Question Diversity — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 19:00:26 -0000

Talk radio has been exposed for the sham that it is. A bunch of hosts
that I used to respect are foaming at the mouth with hatred for Paul.

One such host, Mark Levin, is on as I write these words. To show you what kind of a sense of gratitude this schmuck has, he used the first half hour of his show to promise that if Ron Paul ran third party and got at least a million votes (even if those million votes didn't alter the outcome between Obama and Romney), he would do "everything in my power" to get Rand Paul out of the Senate. Now, Levin and Rand Paul had a good relationship before now, and the younger Paul even recommended Levin's previous book. In spite of what he probably knew was Levin's long career of trashing his father. No good deed goes unpunished.

If I were Rand Paul, I would hire a lawyer to scour Federal laws for anything that any prosecutor can use to get Mark Levin convicted of a Federal felony and into Federal prison. Examples: Financial impropriety relating to his legal foundation, being an "unregistered lobbyist," for whatever concern.

Levin and Savage are only "enemies" because they're on during the same time slot. Ideologically, Levin is more "conservative Republican plantation," while Savage sometimes strays off of it. Though with Savage, you don't know if his straying off the reservation is for real or a play act.

It is my understanding that the U.S. military during the Reagan years was the closest thing to having a truly color blind set of standards for promotions and awards, and that enlisted men and officers were discouraged from talking about race as much as possible. I would also imagine that not too many blacks were promoted.

My theory is that some of the pedophilia that goes on in the black community doesn't get reported to official authorities and doesn't wind up in the stats, because that behavior isn't considered aberrant enough to get the "racist po-pos" involved.

Federal civil rights laws state that legal classifications based on gender fall under intermediate scrutiny, classifications based on race fall under strict scrutiny. It's not that race NEVER provides a legal basis for discrimination, it's that the judicial scrutiny of racial classifications is so strict that they're almost never allowed to stand. Personally, I think race should be knocked back to intermediate scrutiny, because of demonstrable racial differences.

Notice the date, this is not long after the date of the Ames Straw Poll which Bachmann won, which was the very same day the Rickroller announced. A version of this story first appeared in the Washington Post.

Plus I have two ears, two eyes, and a brain with an above average IQ, an opiate addiction to conventional politics, a long enough life to have observed a lot of these Presidential primary seasons, and an adequate reading of the history of those that occurred before my lifetime and in the realm of modern American political history.

All that is a little more reliable than conspiratorial crackpottery.

So we're left with one conclusion: Bachmann is a blocking back for Romney.

No, she's not doing it at the behest of some "mysterious" puppeteer, she's doing it because she wants a cabinet position in the Romney Administration, or for him to twist arms to get the House Republicans to ditch Boehner and make her Speaker.

Heck, when it all comes down to it, Ron Paul might turn into a blocking back for Romney, if he isn't one already, because if he thinks he won't win, he would do anything he can to keep Gingrich from winning, because Paul despises Gingrich on a more personal level than he does Romney. All goes back to the second half of the 1990s.

Levin should have read that before running his mouth tonight, this story posted more than five hours before his show started. He would have saved himself a lot of grief, and he wouldn't have ruined his cordial relationship with a sitting U.S. Senator. Now I'm reading stuff that speculates that Levin just committed some sort of extortion/coercion crime relating to Federal elections. I'm sure some liberal Democrat U.S. Attorney would love to be able to string up any "conservative" talk radio host.

So saith the man or woman who advocated on this very website a few days ago that the the entire American automobile fleet switch over to ethanol, so that our food prices can go ten times higher overnight.

I might agree on methanol, but we would have to drill for a lot more natural gas, to keep home heating bills from getting any higher than they are. But to say that ethanol isn't increasing the price of food? Granted, it's not the only reason, but it is a reason. A lower supply and a higher demand can only mean one thing in economic terms.

Speaking of one Michael Alan Weiner, proving he's not a race realist or a white nationalist (if his public bashing of AR and Jared Taylor went over your head), he trashed the Iowa caucuses last night because Iowa is "too white" and doesn't "have enough minorities," and therefore doesn't "look like America." Sounds like Bill Clinton.

Re: Bernie Goldberg on Iowa: Mainstream Media Would Never Say ‘South Carolina Is Too Black’

Iowa wasn't "too white" in 2008 when its overwhelmingly white Democrat caucus goers chose Barack Obama.

It is not just the lamestream media peddling this line -- Michael Savage is also riding this hobby horse.

The hard truth of the matter is that even though Iowa is 90% white, it might not be white enough for a Republican caucus, because the Republican Party gets almost 100% of its votes from whites.
