A year ago, life was great for Marcus Stokes. He was a young high school quarterback with offers to play college football. Some of the biggest names in the sport were calling and texting him. He committed to play for the Florida Gators, which is one of college football’s major powers. For a young man in this age, it does not get much better than being a coveted high school athlete. These days it even comes with the promise of money, not just coeds and attention from fans.
That all came to a halt when video of Marcus Stokes turned up online singing a popular hip-hop song, which violated the Jim Snow laws. Even though these songs are broadcast to everyone, even small children, white people are not allowed to repeat most of the lyrics, not even acknowledge hearing them. You see, in Jim Snow America, a black guy can advocate for murder, rape and mayhem, as long as it has a beat, but a white guy cannot repeat what is said.
The hip-hop song in question contained the magic word and Marcus Stokes said the word in the video. Immediately agents from the Ministry of Leukophobia were dispatched to investigate. Once it was determined that he was white and he had said the magic word, they issued a fatwah against him, his family and anyone even remotely connected with him. The University of Florida was instructed to rescind the scholarship offer and issue mean words about him.
In two syllables, the promising life of Marcus Stokes was ruined. You see, he violated the most important of Jim Snow laws. It is not the word he said, it is the context in which he said the magic word. One set of language laws for black people and another set of language laws for white people is patently immoral. Not even the most brutal communist dictatorships went down this road. Theocracies like Iran, Israel and Saudi Arabia do not have segregated language laws.
The only way the Ministry of Leukophobia can conceal this obvious problem is by terrorizing white people into thinking there are words that possess special properties that when uttered out loud, destroy the white person uttering them. That way, the white people will not notice who is enforcing these language laws. Instead of asking who decided we have segregated language, or even why we have such rules, white people will just assume it is a force of nature.
In order to make this work, the Ministry of Leukophobia does not limit itself to confirmed utterances of magic words. In the case of Mitchell Miller, a professional hockey player banned from the sport, the accusation is that he may have been influenced by a magic word uttered by some white person at some point somewhere. You see, Miller is accused of have bullied a sacred person in high school. Clearly, he must have been motivated by thoughts of the magic word.
Conservatives try to excuse this stuff by blaming the victims or claiming it is just a temporary moral panic. Maybe they blame social media for encouraging the mob to pile on these poor saps, who conservatives are quick to point out deserve everything they have coming for violating the blasphemy laws. The case of the hockey player makes clear that there is nothing temporary or spontaneous about this stuff. It is part of a long term campaign by the Ministry of Leukophobia.
You see this with Marcus Stokes. It has been six months and things should have blown over by now. He issued as many groveling apologies as humanly possible. He has no doubt spent the required time at a reeducation facility. He even found a black person to bless his transformation and provide a redemption arc. The coach of Albany State, a historically black college, offered Stokes a scholarship. No doubt the coach was thinking he could get a good player and lots of applause.
Like Mitchell Miller, there will be no forgivingness for Marcus Stokes. The Albany State coach was told by the Ministry of Leukophobia that he could not offer this blasphemer a scholarship or even a place on the roster. Not only that, they demanded the coach issue an apology. To whom he is apologizing is not all that clear, since no one to date has claimed to have been offended, outside the tyrant class. Of course, that last bit is the key to all of this stuff.
The question that hangs in the air, the center of recent disputes here and elsewhere, is how can American society return to civility? Of course, most of the people attempting to answer it wish the debate to exist in the abstract, as that allows them to defend arguments that make no sense in the natural world. Before any of that can be addressed, however, is the question of whether it is even possible to have a civil, decent society under the current conditions.
Can Austin Nivison, the person stalking Marcus Stokes, exist in a society that respects the dignity of the citizens? Can you have a civil society that includes the people who employ spiteful bigots like that guy? After all, they appear to operate as a volunteer auxiliary of the Ministry of Leukophobia. How is it possible for decent people to cohabited with people so filled with hatred for them? Can anyone reading this imagine being fellow citizens with people who hate them so much?
Stories like those mentioned here, and there are thousands of less notorious examples, suggest that we have reached the point of irreconcilable differences. We have a ruling class that has concluded that the white population is irredeemably evil. That is, after all, what is being said about Marcus Stokes. How can anyone with a soul want to find common ground with someone who seeks to destroy the life of a child for having repeated a forbidden word in a song?
The answer to the subject of this post starts with acceptance. There is no magic set of words that will heal the black hearts of the people who think it is right to torment white kids like we see with these two examples. We have a population of spiteful mutants, to borrow Ed Dutton’s phrase. That population has been weaponized. The answer starts with accepting this reality and then wondering aloud who is doing the weaponing and for what purpose. The answer starts with questions.

Another example that is sure to generate a lot of excitement among certain readers here is NBA player Meyers Leonard. About two years ago, he said an anti-Semitic magic word on a video game livestream. He was denounced and suspended and has not played in the league since. Granted he was hurt and in the middle of a long injury rehab at the time. He has spent a lot of time groveling, but still hasn’t gotten another shot in a league where over half the owners are Jewish. The Lakers brought him in for a workout this month and elected not to sign him. While Kyrie Irving is a much better player, the fact that he is a black Hebrew Israelite has not gotten him run out of the league yet, for comparison.

I feel bad for the hockey kid cause he didn’t get persecuted for acting like a jogger. His defenestration was out of the blue.
I sort of feel bad for the footballer. However, his parents should have taught him better, to not participate in jogger culture, sportsball, and most of all to not grovel before the ghouls.
I get some satisfaction that although a white kid is sacrificed to the Leukophobia gods for playing with diversity, it will send a message to countless other whites to seek fun elsewhere, perhaps within their own culture and traditions.

Twenty year ago, one of my small town cousins played on a football game against a mostly black inner city school. The inner city school, of course, started trash talking his team team to the press, saying something like “we’re going to teach those hick farmers how to play football”.
On the line during the game, those hick farmers started mocking the other team with such pithy quotes as “shouldn’t you be working in my field right now?” Full on race war level banter going back and forth.
Now, of course, the entire football program would be cancelled, the coaches fired, and the white school groveling for the next ten years. It’s really amazing the level of acceleration. Can’t say it’s helped race relations either, in removing hurty words, the resentment on both sides is now just bubbling underneath now, buried under a mountain of meaningless platitudes.

I see no reason that this exact story could not be un-earthed to destroy someone’s life….rather it’s just a matter of when.

Just finished counter-currents covering louis ck’s opinion on open borders and though there was no bigger pos in the western world but junior football player to the rescue. poor bastard.

Checking Louis CK’s “early life” on wikipedia. What a coincidence.
American Krogen has a fantastic 7 minute analysis of C.K.’s life that is priceless. It is worth trying to spread to get some traction.
the football kid is better off not playing football. does terrible things to the human body. a blessing in disguise…

Not to mention it will force him to spend almost every waking hour stewing in a broth of toxic blackness.
2
I thought that too. Why is he still trying to play? If he had responsible and wise adults in his life, they’d tell him, “Forget the sportsball, son. Concentrate on a career.” But yet he’s still chasing that dragon. I have as much contempt for Marcus as I do for the Leukophobes.
Funny that Marcus Stokes is a “black name”, too.
2
If Stokes is at that level, most of his life has been built up around the idea of playing football in college and the pros. It is hard to give up a dream like that. Plus I doubt the family can absorb the cost of college, assuming he is college material in the first place without all the “help” he would get from academic support as a football player.
Checking online, he now has an offer from West Florida, a Division II school. This article points out how Florida likely dumped him in part because they were able to sign another recruit they thought was better. He also points out how absurdly hypocritical it is for colleges to act like what Stokes did is beyond the pale considering their other scandals.

Why should he or anyone else have to live this way? basically you are saying he should accept dhimmitude.
I am not arguing in favor of it, I am explaining why he would still want to play. His whole life has been built up around football and he doesn’t want to give it up to be a plumber. I can understand why he would think that way even though I would encourage him to go another route. He shouldn’t have to live that way.
1
A favor indeed. After the career ending knee injury he’s well on the way to a lifetime of jock sniffing just like the loser at SI who ruined him.
Yeah but college does terrible things to the mind. Pick your poison, or maybe a trade would be the best. Idk.
The obvious solution is for Whites to boycott social media. Enriching a bunch of oligarchs bent on the destruction of society makes no sense. The speech/conduct “rules” are constantly changing, arbitrary and retroactive when necessary to cancel somebody.
Meanwhile, these kids should stop listening to this crappy ghetto music. We’re a long way from Motown now. Imitating rappers is just ridiculous and humiliating conduct for Whites anyway.
5
This is the right take. Why expose kids to this kind of culture and why allow them to remain exposed? Also, social media is clearly an issue. You are right in that the rules are arbitrary and changing. It is widely known that it harm kids’ mental health as well.
Lastly, even Z tip toes around “the magic word.” Heck, even I tip toe around it. I don’t think it applies broadly but it applies some of the time. The language keepers have succeeded in instilling fear. Does using it draw negative attention to this site?
1
I was to think the N-word was used by people of low character. The black kids I played ball with were raised the same way. It was just not something anyone tolerated in the same way that the F-word was not tolerated. Heck, school teachers would correct us for using common slang. You should not need vulgar language to express yourself. That was a good rule that worked, in terms of keeping the peace and discouraging disruptive behavior. Of course, that is why the rule was removed.
Until dissidents are organized enough where people like Marcus Stokes can get support and back on their feet, we’ll keep losing. It could be as simple as a givesendgo that pays for all his college followed by an insider who can promise him a job on graduation.
The left managed o do this for literal terrorists in the 1960’s and 1970’s, hence their ascendancy now.

It really is incredible, how the arguably most worthless segment of the population has been elevated to near exalted status in this dump of a former country – to the total detriment of the legacy portion. They can blood libel Whites six ways from Sunday, but there’s hell to pay for one mean thought in the other direction. The one high profile guy who has successfully dodged the N-word bullet is Morgan Wallen – actually seems to have gotten more popular since his brush with eternal damnation.
The point is we cannot live in a society that includes spiteful White and little hat mutants as well as blacks (to say nothing of all the other s*** stained slop getting in on the act). Some sort of hard separation is ultimately most likely going to be necessary. How that’ll come about is anyone’s guess, but it’s either Us or them, and I’m voting Us.
2
Morgan Wallen’s fans immediately bought more of his music after the incident, which was great. What wasn’t great is that Wallen went through the usual apology and forgiveness ritual.
2
It seems to me that albophobia, the fear of white people, would be a better choice. Leukophobia sounds too close to the well known word leukemia which carries a negative meaning.
1
Why would you want the irrational hatred of white people to have a positive connotation?
7
Where is all of this going? They say blacks are victims, have been wronged by White society, so now have to be a protected class from “hurtful words” coming from their oppressors. I guess the idea is that eventually blacks become doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc and are as successful and functional as Whites.
Since that will never happen (nature), and nobody in power will say it, soon it won’t be enough to just outlaw the N-word and provide preferential treatment and cast blacks in every commercial. The only answer is that Whites are oppressors and more must be done.
Now there’s talk of reparations, ripping down statues of old White guys, teaching children to wallow in guilt and more. What comes next? The black condition won’t improve, and nobody dares to consider reality, so there will be more doubling-down on attacking Whitey. No matter what you do, it’s never enough.
2
We are already there, dude. The great John Derbyshire explained a few weeks ago at Vdare: There used to be debates about whether blacks’ failures/problems are the result of nature (biological) or nurture (culture). Now suggesting either of those will get you in trouble with the Cheka and exiled from society. Now, the only acceptable reason for blacks’ failures is systemic racism which means the malice of white people.
3
Yeah, we are at a point as you describe. But they’re going to take it farther. There will be more steps taken, not sure specifically, but I’d say part of it will be paying them more money, maybe land taken away, etc. It will get worse than it is. And why wouldn’t it? So right now we’re not “there.” “There” is coming, because more must be done to correct the injustice.
1
I’m not going to make a prediction about how far whites will go humiliating themselves on this altar, because we’re already way past anything I would have expected. But the current reparation minded zeitgeist can easily, I believe, run on for a good century or so before those who believe in it are forced to admit something isn’t working. Taking into account that every generation above the age of 10 or so is already thoroughly indoctrinated, one can safely assume they will remain so for life. Any big change to it will have to come from generations yet unborn.

I’m waiting on the murder case in which the defendant is acquitted due to his victim saying the magic word. I know it’s coming. The popular sentiment to back it up is already there. I don’t think it’s very far away. Possibly any minute now.
3
The chief problem is this: today’s White people are pussies. We lack the cajones to stand up for ourselves. We constantly apologize basically for our very existence. We excuse all kinds of misbehavior on the part of various out-groups that we would never excuse among our own. We are pathetic and we need to admit that and stop blaming (((others))) for the collective weakness that we demonstrate each and every day. The best thing we can do is start telling our fellow Whites that they are pussies until they prove otherwise. Stop sugar-coating these matters. I am increasingly convinced that the only medicine that will work is the most pungent available.

Wkathman, show us how to stop blaming others. Tell your employer how you feel about this issue and don’t blame anyone when you are fired.
1
Well, I suppose you would stand there after he *was* fired and blame him for taking the initiative. Then you’d return your station, yes boss.
If we’re looking for an illustration of this defeatist psychology in action, you just provided it. Not that we needed to hear it again — we see it all around us — but if we can start getting your type to sandwich board yourselves like this, we’ll know whom to avoid.
2
Why must one take it up with an employer? It’s far more prudent to confront those Whites who don’t hold something over our heads. We can do this with family members, friends, and even mere acquaintances — exercising all due discretion, of course. Use your own best judgment for what is likely to be most effective. One reason we’re no longer respected is we lack boldness. And if we can’t be bold even with our own people, we’re as good as sunk. Time to show some courage.
I’ve been shocked; influenced; gone reading, researching and thinking, and after all of that, my conclusion is that Christianity has a self destruct mechanism called the Jewish revolutionary spirit, that Christians and Jews go together and were both born in a Hebrew cataclysm two millennia ago, that all of this is the master narrative and the replaying of that cataclysm. So that’s the situation Christendom, the West, ‘white’ people, or whatever you want to call it (and Jews, too) is in, imo. Keep what’s good, jettison the bad, turn on, tune in, and drop out if you want to survive.
1
The blatant anti-whiteness of this issue makes me almost incoherent with anger and what makes me angriest is that white people just submit. If I was to point out this double standard to even my “rock ribbed” conservative friends or self-styled “boldly independent” liberal friends, they would just sheepishly shrug.
It goes without saying that black people have no power or organizational ability to implement this tyranny. Someone else in the media is doing this.

“Conservatives try to excuse this stuff by blaming the victims or claiming it is just a temporary moral panic. Maybe they blame social media for encouraging the mob to pile on these poor saps, who conservatives are quick to point out deserve everything they have coming for violating the blasphemy laws.”
Precisely. Moreover, normie conservatives are, in their own minds, more liberal than liberals on the question of race, whom they accuse of being “racists” and “the real Nazis.” When they encounter a Jared Taylor or someone in our thing, the same accusation is leveled against us — racists, Nazis, anti-semites.
They believe that it’s white college administrators (liberals, but Nazis in spirit) pushing all of this, while black people remain tied down on the white welfare plantation — in truth, they all want to start their own businesses, wear suits, and work 12-14 hours daily in their 20s to start a family.
At no point will a normiecon *ever* blame a single black person for any of this, in the same way that an NPR liberal will seek to blame whites for five black police officers beating a black man to death. There’s no functional difference, and when in my own life I’ve pointed this out to Uncle MAGA Boomer, I am, predictably, called a racist.
1
You’d be surprised. A lot of Whites are pretending. Scratch the surface and it’s amazing what you’ll find then they open up. People I assumed were liberal based on their public announcements turned out to be somewhere to the right of Pinochet.
1
Too many Whites are still clinging to their sportsball. Even after all the kneeling Colin Kaepernick nonsense. Hard to have much sympathy when they/we keep buying into this rotten culture owned, staffed and promoted by people who hate them.

The harder you pull on a rubber band and stretch it out, the greater will be the force that hits your hand when it eventually breaks and snaps back. And something similar can happen in societal affairs when extreme insanity is escalated without limit or push back. Such is the world we live in today. The Cloud People are pathologically unable to stop escalating and will continue until the rubber band breaks. This is why sanctioned predators are now invited into children’s library story hour sessions.
In their mind, this escalation ultimately results in a visceral conflict of mutual annihilation between patriots and LEOs; killing off as many alphas as possible and paving the way for the Jackboots to cement elite dominance. But that is just one of the scenarios that could play out. Another is the French Revolution model, which doesn’t end well for the elites. But the latter also resulted in a lot of dead innocents, so not optimum.
The best solution to this problem is to focus a remedy on the root of the disease and rely on the self-preservation imperative and emergent behavior to start a stampede for the exit. The example of today’s Zman post is that a highly public lynching of some sad sack can have a huge intimidating impact on society-at-large. The same is true for the Cloud People problem. It won’t take much to start the stampede and the collateral harm will be minimized. Smarter, not harder.

“Marcus Stokes” is a white guy? LOL. That’s as about as stereotypically black a name as “Dontrell Washington.”
I’d take issue with Z’s characterization of the the problem as “leukophobia,” though. It’s not “fear of the color white” that’s behind these totalitarian purges. It’s contempt, hate, and sadism.
There was none of this kind of thing going in in Alabama in 1950. Back then, they actually did “fear” whites. But whites unilaterally surrendered, engaged in ritual self-flagellation and self-abasement, and became contemptible cucks. That’s why the totalitarians get away with this shit — because they no longer fear whites.
It’s just like the way these people routinely mock Christians, but won’t dare whisper anything derogatory about Muslims. They know damn well the Muslims will “Charlie Hebdo” them in a heartbeat and the Christians won’t.
It’s classical bullying behavior, they gang up on the weak and the vulnerable and those unwilling or unable to punch them back square in the face.
