Where Does Hate Come From?

Brooklyn-Jenin: Why didnt the judges prevent the demolition in Lod?
As fifty Children lose their homes under the auspices of the Supreme Court the question should be asked: Does the Supreme Court act in the service of a Racist ideology in the spirit of Rabbi Eliyahu and his cohorts? One morning, when the storm started shaking the treetops and the dogs howled in terror because of the thunders and the flashes of lightning, fifty Children of different ages went out to school in the city of Lod, Israel. During the day most of them worked diligently on their studie...

You Went Full Ayers, ManNever Go Full Ayers
When Bill Clinton did his victory lap last week around this time, how much do you think the brutal left-on-left race-obsessed primary season of 2008 was still fresh on his mind? I wonder if he heard this interview with Bill Ayers from the start of the month, in which he claims that, as the Blaze notes, “White Supremacist [Hillary] Clinton Created Shadowy Characters of Rev. Wright & Others” to exoticize Obama. Fortunately, that can’t ever happen again, since, “Callin...

No To Duban III
Take Action As a supporter of the true principles of Human Rights and equality, I urge the 27 Member States of the European Union to vote No on the U.N.’s plan for a “Durban 3” gathering next year in New York. The draft resolution calls for a summit of world leaders on September 21, 2011, “to commemorate the Tenth Anniversary of the adoption of the Durban Declaration.” The event would be jam-packed with “an opening plenary,” “consecutive round tables,”

Where did game theory come from?
The best book to read on that topic is Robert Leonard's new and noteworthy Von Neumann, Morgenstern, and the Creation of Game Theory.  Excerpt: Von Neumann's seminal game paper was part of a rich contemporaneous discussion of the mathematics of chess and parlour games in the first three decades of the century, involving diverse contributors, from Lasker to Zermelo to Konig, Kalmár, and Borel.  It was a multifaceted literature, embracing Lasker's philosophical probing o...

The Left's Unconscious Self-Defeat
The more heatedly we Protest and complain about right-wing malice and ignorance, the more we are likely to be covering up (defending against) recognition of our own contribution to the nation's political, economic, and social distress. Even the liberal fixation on Sarah Palin is a clue to our readiness to be defeated. We help to keep her in the spotlight and empower her because we can't let go of our morbid fascination with the idea of being forced to endure her small-minded mentality. The li...

Newstalgia Reference Room - The Captain John G. Crommelin Affair - 1949
Capt. John G. Crommelin - Stormy Petrel with more than a few mummies in the closet. When Captain John G. Crommelin issued a scathing report criticizing Military politics as concentrating military authority in the hands of an elite few and that the Defense Department was scuttling Naval air power in favor of the Air Force, and that a "Prussian General staff system of the type employed by Hitler" was being imposed on the Armed Forces under a proposed unification of the branches of service, needle...

Sunday video [Darleen Click]
What’s the biggest threat to free Speech? Some interesting answers in there. I rolled my eyes at John Tierney, NYTimes and Robert George NYPost (1:06 and 1:14 respectively) who trotted out the “but both sides do it” meme. Yessireebob, a whole lot of Republicans, Conservatives and TEA Partiers are demanding a return of the Fairness Doctrine, passage of Net Neutrality, and FCC hearings on “Racist” speech on radio. ...

Noblesville store owner says he will keep selling controversial soap
Standing defiant to pressure, Dewester says he will keep selling the soap with labels some find offensive, however, he plans to do that somewhere else. He said he has decided to move his shop out of the Logan Village Mall in Noblesville. He maintains that he has a right to sell the Controversial products. Noblesville, Ind. — Gary Dewester is under fire for selling soaps with offensive labels like: "Kolored Kids" and "Darkie" with a black man pictured in a top hat. Other soaps contained la...

Anti-Anti-Racism.
Political correctness and people who call things Racist are the greatest threats to free Speech, says Andrew Breitbart in this video from Reason (zoom ahead to 1:35): This is a nearly pure expression of conservative anti-anti-racism, or the idea that accusations of Racism (against White People) are far more harmful than actual incidents of Bigotry against Minorities (with the collorary that Minorities are guilty of tremendous Racism against White People). Smearing Shirley Sherrod is perfectly ok...

The Wolves Who Cry Boy
The Reverends Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Jim Wallis, Jeremiah Wright and Father Michael Pfleger insist Racism is alive and well in America. And they are right. All they need do is look in their respective mirrors to see some of its most active proponents. Racism certainly still exists among some whites in the U.S. But anyone who thinks seriously -- and honestly -- about the issue also knows those people are a dying breed. They never will die out completely, of course. Humans, contrary to libera...

Racist CCCs Comic Book Complaint: The Gods Must be Crazy
The white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC) is calling for a Boycott of the upcoming movie “Thor,” based on the Marvel comic book story and directed by Kenneth Branagh. One would think that a film fantasy about a Nordic god (played by blond, blue-eyed Australian actor Chris Hemsworth) performing heroic acts would have a Racist group like the CCC squealing with delight. Not so. The CCC is upset about the casting of British actor Idris Elba, who is black, as Heimdall, the al...

By Asgard's Hammer! Far-righty whities mighty uptighty about black actor playing Norse God Hey, fellow white guys -- don't these characters make you feel proud? After all, that's what they're supposedly about -- "White Pride": A US white supremacist group has called for a Boycott of the Kenneth Branagh-directed superhero movie Thor on the grounds that a black actor has been cast in the role of a Norse god. The Council of Conservative Citizens is upset that London-born Idris Elba, star of Th...

Britain: Unions warn of massive wave of strikes (& vow to work with students to fight Tory cuts)

Mark Williams: VINDICATION!
Williams left that post in July after penning a scathing criticism of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The NAACP had voted a resolution at the time labeling the Tea Party Racist. Williams’ criticism took the form of what he admits was a “poorly and stupidly written” satirical letter from the NAACP to President Abraham Lincoln demanding a Repeal of the Emancipation Proclamation. Williams has since publicly apologized for the nature of his criticism...

Jews for a Jewish Bat Yam
It's sad that such a demonstration is even necessary in Israel. But it is. After a rabbis' letter instructing Jews to not sell or rent apartments to Arabs, Racist behavior reaches new low [not my view. CiJ]: An organization called Jews for a Jewish Bat Yam is expected to Protest on Monday against the "assimilation of young Jewish Women with Arabs living in the city or in nearby Jaffa." The Protest will be held around 7:30 pm near the Bat Yam mall, not far from the Police Station. The organizer...

Redistricting the right way
Across Virginia, roving bands of Young People are on a rampage for Democracy. No pikes or pickaxes here. Just computer mice and maps. Christopher Newport University is sponsoring a competition to see which college can draw the best state legislative and Congressional Districts, ones that are "compact; contiguous; equal in population; in compliance with the federal Voting Rights Act; encompassing communities of interest; and respectful of existing political subdivisions." The response h...

Israel's Sham Democracy
Levy believes the debate masks greater issues, fundamental ones "that define our society and state." Whether Military or civilian rabbis decide who is Jewish is a distraction. "Ten times more significant is....whether (we're) living in the only country on earth where clerics determine the right to Citizenship. No less important (is the illusion that Israel) is a Secular and democratic state." Imagine debates over whether to rent apartments to Arabs. What about Equal Rights, democratic freedoms...

Crime Without Hate, Hate Without Crime, by Arnold Kling
The topic of hate has come up in disparate places lately. On the one hand,Mark Thoma points to Daniel Little, who offers an analysis of Conservatives as motivated by hate. On the other hand, Matthew J. Franck calls this "playing the hate card," and he Protests. Bryan argues that Mao was a mass murderer. One of Bryan's book recommendations, Bloodlands, was reviewed by Richard Rhodes, who concludes, By including Soviet with German mass atrocities in his purview, Timothy Snyder begins the necess...

Spain: Muslim family denounces teacher for talking about ham in class
Here is my rough translation of a Spanish-language article about a manifestation of Islamic Supremacism so outrageous that it is hard not to wonder whether or not it is a parody. But it doesn't seem to be one. "Una familia musulmana denuncia a un docente por hablar de jamones en clase," from Diario de Jerez, December 18 (thanks to Eloy): A teacher at Menéndez Tolosa institute has been denounced by a Muslim family from La Línea because their son, a Student in the first year of High School, fe...

Spain: Muslims sue teacher for speaking about ham in class
Spanish ham (absolutely offensive to "Ham-o-phobic" Muslims...) According to the account of the facts, the teacher was explaining the different climates in a geography class and cited the village of Trevelez due to its cold and dry climate. According to the newspaper account, "as a story, the teacher told his Students that such a climate was conducive to making hams (this refers to the procedure that it's necessary between the pig is killed and the ham is actually ready to be eaten). Then the ...

Dark Skin No Longer a Curse in Online Book of Mormon
Chapter headings in the online version of the Book of Mormon have been changed by LDS Church officials, eliminating vestiges of Racist theology that linked dark skin to spiritual accursedness. * Old version: “Because of their unbelief, the Lamanites are cursed, receive a skin of blackness, and become a scourge to the Nephites.” * New online version: “Because of their unbelief, the Lamanites are cut off from the presence of the Lord, are cursed, and become a scourge unto the Nep...
