There is an interesting controversy brewing in anthropology departments where professors have called for researchers to stop identifying ancient human remains by biological gender because they cannot gauge how a person identified at that the time. Other scholars are calling for researchers to stop identifying race as a practice because it fuels white supremacy.

I am not making this up.

Although this Administration has been an unqualified disaster from January 21 on, The Left cannot quite do all the dastardly things it has in mind. That, it turns out, is not because they don’t have nefarious plans for us. It is because their dozens of woke organizations are filled with lazy, fragile activists who spend all their time on internal squabbles, fiefdom fights, Victim Entitlement Olympics and the equitable division of spoils. Not to mention regular “Hate Whitey and Whiteness” mandatory workshops, HR harassment investigations, pronoun obsession and, if government employees are any example, regular perusal of porn sites. Nothing gets done. The Play-Doh and Kleenex budget alone must be enormous.

An interesting article by Ryan Grim in Intercept describes how a variety of progressive organizations in recent years have found themselves paralyzed by internal conflicts involving accusations of racism, sexism, and similar offenses. Pretty clearly, the accusations are a mix of responses to real problems, responses to imagined problems, and weapons by which one member of an organization can attack another.

…

One interesting question is whether it will occur to progressives to generalize their experience. If their ideology, including the willingness to enforce it at the organizational level by attacking other members of the organization for being insufficiently progressive, makes organizations unable to accomplish anything, what happens to the country if most people became progressives?

uneteenth 2022 saw a relatively low mortality rate (double digits, a regular 1914 Christmas Truce level of peacefulness when grading on a black curve). There’s no immediate explanation for why there were fewer shootings this year, but one guess is that with Juneteenth falling on Father’s Day, many black men avoided the festivities, for fear of running into support-seeking baby mamas.

When you point out these recurrent patterns, many respond that The Science teaches us that Zoey Tur always felt like a girl on the inside; and all the evidence to the contrary must have been just her elaborate, seamless lifelong hoax mounted from earliest girlhood to cover up her innate femininity by acting 24/7 for 40-plus years like a giant macho prick. After all, they reason, you couldn’t possibly doubt the word of a woman who claims to have deceived the whole world for decades, could you?

Yet few on either the left or the right have noticed this pattern that many of the most influential men to declare themselves women have virtually no feminine traits whatsoever.

Now we know why the Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics lost to Golden State in the NBA Finals! Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum simply isn’t black enough, according to former pro Nick “Swaggy” Young.

Tatum averaged 21.5 points per game in the six-game series won by the Warriors, four games to two. However, he shot a pitiful 31.5 percent from the field and made a boatload of turnovers. He set a dubious NBA record with 100 turnovers during the playoffs, too.

Golden State’s Andrew Wiggins held Tatum to just 13 points in the sixth and final game Thursday.

Tatum was “a shell of himself against the Golden State Warriors, completely vanishing when his team needed him the most,” wrote Orlando Silva of the Fadeaway World blog.

Young, who was a mediocre journeyman who played for six NBA teams in his career, got on his high horse to tweet that Tatum just isn’t black enough.

How to Get Shot by the Cops

Steve Sailer turns over a rock.

It would be interesting to know if the Biden Administration has actually calculated whether creating a Middle Eastern & North African race would be good for the Democrats. Or are they doing this just because Middle Eastern & North Africans are less white than other official whites, so therefore they are Good and the Biden Administration likes doing good things for Good groups.

I’ve tried to think through the consequences. The most obvious one is that MENAs would be eligible for certain kinds of affirmative action, such as government contracting preferences and low interest SBA loans.

Steve Sailer peeks behind the curtain.

Vincent Chin is the Asian Emmett Till.

Of course, being the Asian Emmett Till is a little like being the Asian LeBron James. In case you are wondering, going back through the last ten years, the Times has mentioned “Vincent Chin” 24 times but “Emmett Till” 433 times.

What about black-on-white racist hate crimes, such as the Zebra Murders in Northern California in the 1970s in which Nation of Islam offshoot Death Angels murdered at least 15 (and perhaps as many as 60 or more) random whites? Looking for Zebra Murder/s or Zebra Killing/s, I find two mentions in the New York Times over the last decade. Why would the Newspaper of Record want to mention a local police blotter triviality like that when there are always late-breaking Emmett Till newsflashes?

‘Juneteenth’ originated as a Texas black thing, but of course like all such it has metastasized.
