Blacks as a collective supporting the party of mass immigration was suicidally stupid. About as if not more suicidal than liberal Jews doing it.

The new immigrants are indifferent to the black story in America. At best, they like the famous black celebrities everyone likes + sports. But they aren’t gonna care about MLK or Civil Rights as much as old school American Whites.

Going to the gym and seeing Will Cain devote close to half his show to this case was very awesome. 100% agree this will cause generational damage to magic Americans

This happened in Frisco Collin County. This is an extremely affluent area of the Dallas suburbs. The reaction to the verdict is unhinged and horrific. Idaho and Montana are looking better and better everyday. Good extremely high paying jobs are not worth risking your personal safety and the safety of your family members. Plenty of decent jobs with Micron in Boise. The tech scene in Ada County is booming and there are plenty of good STEM jobs. Plenty of good jobs in healthcare, municipal government support, and public education all over Idaho and Western Montana. If you have a remote job with PPO insurance with a suitcase around the PPO on your insurance card I don’t understand not at least making future plans to move to Idaho/Western Montana.

My thoughts exactly! My cousin and I make these same points in our last podcast. We’re huge fans!

This is going to manifest in declining political power as well. Mestizo eligible voters already outnumber blacks by nearly 2 to 1.

Many in the Latino community have had it with crime in large major metro areas: https://rumble.com/shorts/v78uhaa The crime wave of the early 2020s was the first experience of many Latino American families to highly elevated levels of urban crime in the US.

What strikes me as an Indian reader is the selective nature of moral deference in modern Western politics.

Almost no one else gets this treatment. Most communities are expected to obey the law, assimilate, compete, study, work, and avoid disorder. Indians, East Asians, Jews, and many immigrant groups are judged by fairly unforgiving standards. If they fail, no one builds an elaborate mythology to explain away the failure.

But with blacks and Muslims, the West seems to suspend ordinary judgment. Crime, disorder, underachievement, separatism, or even sympathy for political violence are often explained through grievance, trauma, marginalization, colonialism, racism, Islamophobia, or “root causes.” The standard applied to everyone else is quietly relaxed.

This is why cases like Duke Lacrosse, O.J. Simpson, Ferguson, Trayvon Martin, Iryna Zarutska and now Karmelo Anthony are so clarifying. The facts matter less than the moral script. One group is presumed endangered, another presumptively guilty, and the public is asked to pretend this is justice.

The same pattern appears with Islam. After 9/11, an earlier generation might have responded with ugly street revenge. Instead, liberal Western society overcorrected in the opposite direction. The new posture became: we are so morally advanced, so unlike our bigoted ancestors, that we will show special indulgence even toward communities where sympathy for extremism, separatism, or anti-Western politics is far too common. The election of Zohran Mamdani feels like part of that same moral theatre: proof that the white voter is enlightened precisely because he refuses to notice what would be obvious in any other context.

To outsiders, especially non-white outsiders, this is baffling. We do not view this with historical guilt. We see a simpler picture: some groups are held to universal standards, while others are granted exemptions from them.

That double standard cannot last forever. A society can be generous, forgiving, and pluralistic. But it cannot survive if law-abiding, high-performing communities are treated as morally suspect while disorderly or separatist communities are endlessly indulged.

The real shift may be that more people, including immigrants, are finally willing to say this plainly.

The Raven and the Swan

A raven envied a swan the whiteness of her plumage. Thinking that the swan's beauty was owing to the water in which she lived, the raven deserted the altars where he used to find his livelihood and took to the pools and streams. There he plumed and dressed himself and washed his coat, but all to no purpose, for his plumage remained as black as ever, and he himself soon perished for want of his usual food.

Change of scene is not change of nature.

God, I hope you're right about the demise. I'm skeptical, but I DEEPLY hope you're right.

I think this was a turning point.

Black people are effectively alone in defending this and I think they're increasingly becoming aware of it.

I will be pre-ordering Scott’s book next week.
