Obama and Durban II

It's not funny, Mr. Obama

Here's a decent piece on Obama's apparent reluctance to rule the US out of the scheduled UN "Durban II" anti-racism conference, which Canada and Israel have already pulled out of after the last conference turned into an anti-Israel, antisemitic tirade by the Muslim nations.

Obama has got off to a pretty bad start as President, I'd say.

UPDATE: He's pulled out at last.

Guess The Outcome

A white schoolboy left for dead by a hammer-wielding gang of Asians has insisted the attack was racially motivated. Fifteen-year-old Henry Webster was assaulted by a gang of 13 youths, one carrying a claw hammer, on a school tennis court in January 2007. The attackers were sentenced to only between eight months and eight years last year, but they would likely have got longer if the attack had been proven to be racist.

I wrote about this incident back when it happened, and I predicted then that there would be virtually no attention from the media or the authorities to the "racist" element, because the victim was white and the attackers Asian. Whether the attack was racist or not, something stinks here, and it's symptomatic of the entire media and legal attitude towards racism - it only ever goes one way.

Round-up

1. A newspaper cartoon comparing Barack Obama to a violent chimpanzee which was gunned down by police has sparked a race row in the U.S.

This is NOT racist, but the paper should have known better than to run this cartoon and create an unnecessarily bad reputation for themselves. I believe they should have been allowed to publish it; however, from their own point of view, it would have been better for them not to.

2. Melanie Phillips: "Our police were never guilty of 'institutional racism' and it's time this witch-hunt ended."

3. As Geert Wilders is banned from the country, look who's already here - not only Abu Qatadah, "bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe", who "issued a 1995 fatwa or religious edict justifying the killing of converts from Islam, their wives and children in Algeria...[and] [i]n a 1999 sermon he called for the killing of Jews and praised attacks on Americans," but also Anjem Choudary, who thinks non-Muslims are not innocent people and thus can be killed with impunity, and has recently argued that people who get drunk should be flogged.

But remember, Wilders is the real dangerous extremist.

A Nation of Cowards

"Cowards! Ner ner nee nur nur!"

US Attorney General Eric Holder described the United States today as a nation of cowards on matters of race, saying most Americans avoid discussing unresolved racial issues.

That's because most Americans, Eric, actually don't want to divide people up into races all the time and start talking about them, preferring to treat everyone as their fellow human beings rather than someone of a "different type". You call this cowardice; I call it the opposite of racism - anti-racialism.

No, this isn't a card-reading session; it's just a couple of videos from the Finnish heavy metal band Tarot, starring the metal god that is Marco Hietala.

Round-up

1. A council in the West Midlands has withdrawn its funding for a St George's Day parade after claims it had attracted some "racist elements".

Booga booga!

2. This is a late one, from last November: The angry mother of a man found guilty of first-degree murder in the stabbing death of a bus passenger two years ago and emotional members of his victim's family confronted one another outside an Ottawa courtroom. The then-17-year-old attacker, armed with a butterfly knife, stabbed a 23-year-old once in the heart in September 2006 after attempting to steal an iPod from him as he sat in the last row of a city bus. Tempers flared when the mother and aunt of the convicted man, who are black, complained loudly to reporters about the composition of the 12-member jury, who were all white, suggesting the jurors might not have returned the same verdict if the accused was a white man and the victim was black.

This kind of manipulation, playing the race card in such a callous, cynical way, is corrosive and not far away from evil, and those who engage in it should be rejected and shunned for the pusillanimous cowards they are.

Prince Harry Cannot Be Any More Humiliated

Prince Harry is to be sent on an equality and diversity training course after being forced to apologise for using racially offensive language, it has emerged.

The world has gone mad. (Just ask Geert Wilders)

Integration Fail

By Golly, There's More!

The golliwog saga continues: Buckingham Palace has issued an extraordinary apology after the Queen's shop at Sandringham was found to be selling golliwogs.

On a related note, looking at my latest stats, someone recently found this site by Googling "Andrian Chiles is a horrible snitch".

On Militant Anti-Racism

There is a decent piece about the Carol Thatcher controversy over at - of all places - the Guardian today. It's as good an explanation of the flaws of the "anti-racist" crowd as any I've seen.

Most young people today – those I know and those I hear on radio and TV – think racism is the No 1 crime, unforgivable in any form, real or imaginary. Being old enough at 63 to be bilingual in these matters I sometimes make remarks (in private!) designed to make them flinch – just for the frisson it causes.

I respect the sentiments behind the flinch, although I doubt that racism is any worse than many other prejudices that human beings harbour against each other on bad days, sometimes with equally horrible consequences.

The idea that it is a vice unique to white Europeans or north Americans is also a bit of a chuckle, as the Chinese will one day demonstrate when their looming hegemony provides some scope. You could sniff the sense of effortless superiority in those scolding speeches this week.

Myself, I think snitching on private conversations is pretty offensive, too, a thoroughly corrosive habit in any society, however pious the motive. I realise many will disagree. Good luck. I hope it makes them happy, but it won't.

Read it all.

They've Always Been Telling Us Thatcher Was Evil...

Carol Thatcher, the daughter of the former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, is facing a possible ban from the BBC after referring to a tennis player as “a golliwog”. The incident occurred on Thursday night after The One Show when Thatcher, a roving reporter on the programme, was in the green room with its presenter, Adrian Chiles, and other members of the production team.

Using this kind of language to describe fellow human beings is completely dumb. But this was an off-air, unrecorded statement. That's where it should stay, and to ban Thatcher or make a big deal out of this is just platitudinous political correctness.

Round-up

1. Teen pop star Miley Cyrus is in the news as pics of the 16-year-old have surfaced on the net showing her poking fun at Asians. While last year's scantily-clad photos of the teen sensation caused outrage, this time round Cyrus and a group of male friends can be apparently seen pulling their eyes to mock Asians while one Asian-American sits among them.

Yes, seriously, this is news. I have a question, though: did the Asian-American sitting among them mind?

2. See here for an example of an astonishing bit of antisemitism that was aired unchallenged and un-condemned on mainstream American TV.

Eurabia On The Horizon

Did you read the news over the weekend that the Muslim population of Britain is increasing 10 times faster than the rest of the population?

There is no doubt in my mind that as this number increases, we will see increasing demands for more and more sharia to be implemented in this country. I also have no doubt that there are Muslims within the UK who are here for this exact reason: to make Britain into an Islamic state, not by terrorism or invasion but by demographic conquest.

How can I be sure? Because they have made this abundantly clear. Euro-Arab meetings in Venice (1977) and Hamburg (1983) led to the institution of joint policies deliberately designed to increase not only the number of Muslim immigrants to Europe, in massive numbers, but also the general influence of Islam in the European political and civil spheres. Muslim immigrants were never at any point encouraged to integrate into European society – rather, the Arab countries insisted they were allowed to bring their own culture – often antithetical with Western democracy – with them and spread it through Europe. At a 1974 meeting in Lahore, numerous Muslim countries announced their plan to increase the Muslim population of Europe in "demographic preponderance".

In 1999 Guiseppe Bernardini, the Archbishop of Izmir in Turkey, claimed that at a major dialogue meeting between Muslims and European Christians, a prominent Muslim leader announced: "Thanks to your democratic laws we will invade you; thanks to our religious laws we will dominate you." In 1974, the Algerian leader Houari Boumedienne said in a speech at the U.N.: "One day millions of men will leave the southern hemisphere to go to the northern hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory."

Europe is sleeping. Her dream is a lie. And if she doesn't wake up soon, she will die.
