If you don't want to be stereotyped,
don't act like a stereotype. Now that conservative
points are being made on the Fox Cable News Channel,
the response of almost every female liberal interviewed
is to scream. This kind of hysteria is exactly what
the women's' lib movement claimed women do NOT do,
but that is what they do when challenged.
In fact, the root of the word "hysteria"
ties it to women. I think women have every right
to resent that deeply -- unless they get hysterical
about it.
A redheaded black woman spoke for
reparations to black people for slavery on Fox Cable
News Network. She made herself into a living, breathing
stereotype of feminine hysteria.
On August 26, 2000, in REPARATIONS
FOR SLAVERY -- A LIVELIER ISSUE THAN YOU MIGHT THINK,
I said that even in the 1960s, I was dealing with
this issue of reparations. In my economics class,
I pointed out that descendants of blacks who were
enslaved are economically infinitely better off
than the offspring of those who were not. In terms
of money, if we are going to do this, black Americans
would owe vast sums to the evil white race.
No one disputes this. The anti-reparations
man on Fox pointed out to the red-headed black lady
that the children of American slaves now receive
FIFTY TIMES the income of those who avoided slavery.
Absolutely nobody disputes this. So
what was her response?
Her response was the same one that
scares off all respectable conservatives: a shriek.
She began loudly demanding how he dared say such
a thing.
As well she might. Nobody else dares
point out facts like this to her.
She shrieked "racist" at
him for stating this fact, and went into the usual
hysterical fit.
Nothing liberals advocate ever WORKS,
but no respectable conservative is ever allowed
to state this fact. One of my friends on a national
talk show once pointed out that every year we have
given more money to public schools, and each one
of those years test scores have headed downwards.
Once again, no one disputes that the
test score decline has gone hand in hand with Federal
increases, but the liberal on the show sounded a
lot like that red-headed black woman. He didn't
shriek, but he did shout, in effect, "heresy."
My friend was never invited back.
We all know that exactly the same
thing happened with the book "The Bell Curve"."
No one disputes the facts, but every conservative
will help suppress any discussion of those facts.
By the way, the co-author of that
book was a Jewish Harvard psychology professor named
Richard Herrnstein. When the book was published,
he was dying of cancer. The only argument liberals
make about the book is to say it is a pack of lies
cooked up for money by white supremacists.
The best argument against this rather
obvious liberal shriek is that Herrnstein cleared
the book for publication when he knew he was dying.
When liberals have made this particular shriek,
I have asked them why a Jewish Harvard professor
would sign on to such a piece of heresy for future
gain, when he knew he had no future.
"The Bell Curve" is a deathbed
statement, and those are notoriously truthful.
No respectable conservative will ever
ask this. They tacitly admit the liberals' premise:
facts are racist.
