Steamboat (Springs, Colo.) Today:
One of the recurring arguments I hear from those who accuse conservatives of being insensitive to the travails of the underclass, whether black or Latino, is that many of those communities are filled with people so unable to take responsibility for their own lives that “we had better learn we have to take care of them or they are going to start a revolution to take us all down.” I am astounded that this thinking doesn’t register as incredibly condescending and even racist … in the sense that it ascribes no intelligence, talent or ambition to those with whom they purport to empathize.
The other thing that doesn’t occur to them is how self-contradictory is their argument. People who are “so unable to take responsibility for their own lives” can’t be expected to “start a revolution to take us all down.” UNLESS they have the help of outside agitators.
Other than the fact that the man was stark-raving mad, that was the obvious flaw in Charles Manson’s millenarian thinking — On the one hand, he expected black Americans just one day all of a sudden out of the blue to “rise up” to commit extremely atrocious multiple and constant mass murders against whites, but then once they had successfully wiped honkey off the face of the Earth, they would come crying and boo-hooing to Manson and his “family” who had “outsmarted” the genius revolutionaries by hiding out in Death Valley, and ask him and his “family” to run the world because they couldn’t. First off, if the blacks were smart enough to overthrow white society and commit genocide against whites, what the fuck would they need Manson and his rag-tag band of vagabonds for? Second, if the black revolutionaries had it in them to go to every corner of the world where there was white people and kill them all, does one honestly think they wouldn’t “clean up” Death Valley, too? Manson’s thinking became even more contradictory, because the reason he ordered his minions to commit the Hinman, Tate and Lo Bianco murders is because Manson got tired of waiting on the blacks to get things started, and he “wanted to show them how it’s done.” Show them how it’s done? And he expected THEM to take over the world?
Back to the subject, Steve Sailer makes a good point about Chicano Hispanics and reconquista — One reason they might not actually move on the American Southwest in an irredentist sense is because Hispanics can’t seem to organize anything. He reminds us that in spite of the big majorities that Hispanics have in Southern California, and the easy availability of government money (until recently) for these things, there is no Hispanic-oriented hospital complex in SoCal, like there was King-Drew Medical Center, black-organized and black-run, albeit with white money.
