I’ve been saying for a very long time that “social justice” just a nice way of saying “revenge.” People used to know this. When the old ruler was over thrown, the new ruler delivered swift justice to the former ruler’s people. If the mob got angry enough, they would deliver “rough justice” to the object of their anger. In the affairs of man, justice is the winners punishing the losers.
Toni Morrison, the clownishly inept poet, at least has the honesty to state what everyone knows, with regards to racism.
The Nobel prize-winning author Toni Morrison has delivered a frank assessment of race relations in America, declaring that until racial disparities in the criminal justice system are resolved, the conversation about racism will never be over.
Morrison, who won the Pulitzer prize in 1988 for her novel Beloved, which told a story of racism and slavery in 19th-century Kentucky and Ohio, drew on a recent spate of high-profile killings of unarmed African Americans by law enforcement officials to illustrate the ongoing struggle.
“People keep saying, ‘We need to have a conversation about race’,” Morrison told the Daily Telegraph.
“This is the conversation. I want to see a cop shoot a white unarmed teenager in the back.”
She added: “And I want to see a white man convicted for raping a black woman. Then when you ask me, ‘Is it over?’, I will say yes.”
Well, she could have seen a four white men convicted of raping a black women. It was in 1959 in Florida, of all places, when four white men were sent away for life in the rape of Betty Jean Owens. After all, if she just wanted one white man convicted, having four convicted must have her waddling around in ecstasy.
As far as a cop shooting a white kid, we have lots of examples. Gilbert Collar was shot by a black cop in Alabama and not charged. Alabama! Just last year Dillon Taylor was shot by a black cop. Dillon was not only named “Dillon” he was unarmed. No charges in that one either.
Now, maybe Toni Morrison is just a stupid person. But, she has been smart enough to play the skins game well enough to get rich as a colossally bad poet. No, I suspect she knows the truth of things. She just hates white people and would enjoy seeing more white people suffer and die. The cops could shoot a thousand white teenagers in the back tonight and Morrison will want more.
I don’t blame her, really. She’s old and no one really cares what she has to say about anything. She may as well let loose with what’s on her mind. She also must think the tide of history is on the side of nonwhites. Look around and ask yourself if she is wrong. She does not have much time so just in case she is dead when American is majority NAM, she has got her two cents in on what should be done.
I think all sorts of things happened during the slave era. Through the genealogy work of one of her cousins, we recently found out that my wife’s four-times great grandfather was born a slave. His mother was a 14 year old slave and his father was her white owner who had a reasonably sized plantation. The slave owner was a widower who already had three children from his marriage. Apparently he wasn’t interested in getting married again and made this his arrangement instead. He had three children with his slave, and per the terms of his will, she and her… Read more »
A rapist is, by nature and by legal definition, a criminal. Rape is not a one off thing. Before Albert de Salvo began strangling women, it is thought he raped several hundred women a year. So what the FBI statistics are saying is that even white criminals will not rape a black woman. To judge by their complete silence on that subject this seems to not represent a triumph for the black narrative, but an embarrassment. The black narrative is of course that plantation owners raped black slave women, leaving cream in the coffee, ergo white men find black women… Read more »
JW, what happened was that the black women pursued the white slave owner and got pregnant, consensually, without rape. By having a mulatto, it was a ticket into the nice house, and the offspring would be able to live a better life. That’s a condensed version of what I’ve read in other sources.
There’s a pretty good study on this. Americans who call themselves black are about 25% white. That’s population-wide so a guy like Obama who says he is black is 50% white. His wife is probably 100% black. On average, the highest levels of African ancestry are found in African Americans living in or born in the South, especially South Carolina and Georgia. In other words, there was less miscegenation in the South than anywhere else in the country.
My idea is that the great mixing did not happen until after the Civil War. The link estimates six generations, which would be right. When we look at the numerous photos of black Union troops it is clear they are entirely African. That is true of the occasional photo of southern slaves as well, but those are a far less representative sample of the broad population. As Mike wrote, a woman with mulatto children gave those children and herself a leg up in the plantation pecking order, out of the fields and into the house. They were not however offspring… Read more »

“And I want to see a white man convicted for raping a black woman.”
That will be a tough one, because even according to the U.S. DOJ:
“The rate of black women being raped by white men is so low it cannot be represented down to the tenths place as a percentage of overall rapes and is therefore either zero or extremely close to zero.”
They have to literally round it up to zero for statistical reasons.
I often wonder how the Toni Morrisons, et al, currently U.S. citizens would fare if their ancestors were not brought out of Africa to the civilized world. They would be like the millions of black Africans living in squalor with no education, no basic human rights, no health care and on and on. Maybe their resentment stems from the fact that the failure of their race to prosper and grow as the other races have gnaws at their very being and they lash out like angry teenagers. Maybe not, but their racism is disproportionate to the benefits they have received… Read more »
” They should be thanking not hating white people.” Tripletap
Mean IQ of American Blacks 80 to 85 (various estimates).

I often say to people that we live in an Age Of Fear. There was an Age Of Reason once, but we have put aside reason and grown to be utterly fearful of anything and everything. The provision of cushions by the state for a soft landing has also turned into the supply, and use, of cushions to smother the people. But we are also in an Age Of Naivety, and probably in an Age Of Hypocrisy as well. A case in point would be a Labour politician in this country who is defending her seat in the forthcoming general… Read more »
