Re: Black/Non-White Institutional Racism
Black Supremacist “Professor” Blames Whites for Black Academic Failure
-
-
In yet another mass media-sponsored bout of anti-white racism, the British BBC has given prominence to a black supremacist academic who claims that white people are to blame for the inability of black students to pass exams at schools in America.
The BBC article, penned by a Dr Ebony McGee, “Assistant Professor of Education, Diversity and Urban Schooling, Dept. of Teaching & Learning” at the once-prestigious Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and titled “How do US black students perform at school?” ignores—of course—the real reason: namely that blacks in America score on average between 15 and 20 points lower on IQ tests, and that the mean IQ for American negroes remains around the 80 point mark.
However, according to the BBC, the cause of black intellectual failings is white people, and more specifically the “long-term physical, mental, emotional and psychological effects of living in a white-dominated and privileged society, and its threats to the mental and physical health of black students.”
In other words, according to this black supremacist “professor,” the sheer existence of white people—and their society—causes “mental, emotional, and psychological” effects on black people and “threatens” their “mental and physical health.”
Quite apart from the fact that this is patent nonsense, the vicious anti-white racism of such a statement can be illustrated by simply reversing the racial groups made in that sentence: imagine, for a minute, any white academic issuing a paper claiming that the sheer existence of black people threatened white people. Any such academic would instantly be run out of his or her office, and demonized in the media.
Yet “professor” McGee is not only rewarded with a senior and well-paying position at Vanderbilt University, but is also given prominence on a major public broadcaster such as the BBC to spout these views.

Blaming white people for black academic failure makes up only one part of professor McGee’s attack on Europeans: she (and the BBC) go on to claim that white people are also somehow responsible for the increasing re-segregation of schools in America, and the fact that black schools are falling into chaos.
“Increasing school re-segregation—the renewal of segregation—and the continuing inequality of black students is resulting in lower achievement and graduation rates, signaling a reversal of civil rights gains,” she claims, ignoring the fact that it is the behavior of black people which has forced whites to move out of their areas, leading to blacks being the majority at neighborhood schools.
However, identifying black behavior as the problem is not on the agenda for black supremacists and anti-white racists: rather, the focus must always remain on blaming white people for any problems other racial groups might be experiencing.
In this way, for example, “professor” McGee writes that “(W)hen gaps in achievement are addressed without a deliberate investigation of racial inequities, students, parents, teachers and neighborhoods tend to be blamed for the poor educational outcomes of black students. I contend that inquiries into how black students perform in school must include investigation of the harsh disciplinary sanctions in public schools for black students, the disinvestment in black neighborhoods and why the least prepared teachers are those most likely to serve black students.”
Incredibly, and in complete contrast to all the facts, “professor” McGee and the BBC actually seem to think that there is some sort of US government conspiracy to deliberately underfund black schools to cause them to fail. The reality is of course, that untold billions are pumped each year into “underperforming” schools to the cost of better performing ones, but this fact does not halt the anti-white tirade from continuing:
“Additionally, black students are experiencing intense levels of stress and challenge. Many are exposed to a bevy of chronic stresses that include, but are not limited to, disproportionate exposure to environmental hazards, violence and poor healthcare, which negatively impact their educational outcomes.”
By “environmental hazards” one presumes she means the neighborhoods in which blacks live—as if their dilapidated nature (such as in Detroit and countless other nonwhite dominated areas) is the fault of white people.
Does “professor” McGee actually think white people go in secret into black neighborhoods and wreck them? It would seem so—or, at least, that is a more acceptable explanation than the truth, which is that black people are responsible for the state of their living environment, and no one else.
In reality, blacks have taken over many of the nicest urban areas in many cities—and within a few decades have trashed them beyond recognition.
As to “exposure to violence”—once again, “professor” McGee and the BBC actually seem to believe that the well-documented black propensity to violent crime is also the fault of white people, and that white people also deliberately deny blacks decent health care.
Finally, “professor McGee ends her BBC article with more anti-white racism: “Racial biases often place undue burdens on black students who already experience multiple forms of discrimination and prejudice, while the educational and social institutions they learn in, perpetuate white privilege.”
What black supremacists like “professor” McGee and their supporters are ultimately saying is that black people will never achieve their true potential because of some sort of mysterious and all-powerful “white privilege” as long as they have to live in the same environment as white people.
There is, ironically, a degree of overlap here with those who seek to preserve European society and civilization, and, possibly the basis for an amicable physical racial geographic separation at some point, which indeed offers the only hope of a long-term solution to the ongoing issue of racial tension.
But in the interim, a halt to blaming white people for genetically pre-determined, or self-inflicted, black problems, would be a positive step to alleviating racial tensions.

Re: Black/Non-White Institutional Racism
Syrian government wants Syrians to return home, calls for outside help
by Steve Goode • August 29, 2015
Ali Haidar, the Syrian national reconciliation minister, said the Syrian government needs help from others to encourage the ten million plus Syrian immigrants and refugees to come back home to Syria.
“The Syrian government put in place a complete strategy to stop the refugee flow from Syria and needs help to put this plan into action,” said Haidar.
“We have rebuilt all town infrastructure, and we are providing them with food, schooling and medical help.”
Haidar said the Syrian government needs other countries to provide safe routes for Syrians to return home, as well as help to rebuild damaged villages and city districts.
Syria will have a hard time getting their own people back from Europe. In order to explain this, you will need to understand that a large chunk of Europe’s ruling class would love to see Europe turned minority White.
Whether refugee, legal immigrant, or illegal immigrant, these anti-Whites want them all to come into Europe and turn it into a “diverse” utopia, with no White majority – that’s why anti-Whites will fight to make sure Syrians stay.
A lot can be said about this agenda of theirs, but perhaps the most important point is that these conditions they have put in place violate the UN Genocide conventions; in short they are responsible for White Genocide.

Re: Black/Non-White Institutional Racism
Two Toronto universities pull down ‘White Students Union’ posters after sightings on campus
Officials at Toronto’s Ryerson University were pulling down posters from a group calling itself a “White Students Union” on Monday, calling the material “offensive” and in contravention of school policy.
According to photos on Twitter, the posters feature two young, white men with the CN Tower in the background. The only text is “White Students Union!” and the group’s website.
The posters were also spotted near the University of Toronto. York University, in the city’s north end, said eight of the posters were taken down from one area on its Keele campus, because they were “posted without permission.”
Ryerson spokesman Michael Forbes said the university was calling on faculty and students to report sightings of the posters, so security can remove them.
“I can confirm they’re not a sanctioned club. We don’t condone this sort of thing,” Forbes said. “It’s offensive.”
The so-called White Students Union, which also goes by Students for Western Civilization, says it is based in Toronto and “composed primarily of students and alumni of Toronto universities,” according to its website.
In its mission statement, the group lists three objectives:
1. To genuinely explore ethnic and cultural politics in a forum which does not exclude rightist or conservative perspectives.
2. To organize for and advance the interests of Western peoples.
3. To promote and celebrate Western Civilisation
Ryerson requires all posters on campus to be affiliated with legitimate student group or department and adhere to the non-academic code of conduct.
“Clearly, the signs in question did not go through this process,” Forbes said. “had they been submitted they would have been rejected.”
The White Students Union did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Re: Black/Non-White Institutional Racism
Low-income Germans being evicted to make room for immigrants
by Steve Goode • September 25, 2015 •
A few weeks ago, there was outrage when the town of Mundenheim controversially decided to evict elderly German citizens from a permanent homeless shelter.
The town’s government evicted them so they could turn their homes into a “refugee shelter”.
The mayor of the town of Nieheim, Rainer Vidal, has decided to do something similar.
He has terminated the tenancy of Germans living in low-income housing, so that fake refugees can move in.
“I know that this is an unconventional measure,” said Vidal, “But we have an obligation to accommodate refugees.”
This has caused quite a scandal in Nieheim because there are many empty houses available, but they are apparently not good enough for the immigrants, so Germans must be evicted from their own homes.
Bettina Halbey, is a 51 year old nurse and single parent, and has lived in her Nieheim apartment for 16 years.
Since being told that she would be evicted from her home on May 2016 to make room for immigrants, she has spoken to media telling them that there are plenty of empty houses in the town.
She said this eviction notice was “was like a kick.”
“Here in Nieheim there are many vacant houses. In other cities, homes are rented” she said.
When speaking about Halbey’s situation, Mayor Vidal said “I find it very unfortunate that the tenant has sought their way into the public eye. We have given a generous period of [eviction] notice until May next year. We are also willing to help her in finding accommodation.”
This White Genocide agenda that anti-Whites keep pushing is the reason why some Germans are being evicted from their homes.
Under our politically correct, anti-White tyranny – White people are now “fair game”.
We can be blamed for things we never personally did; we can be called names; we can be denied a job, and we can be evicted from our homes – all because the anti-White rulers do not want White people around any more.
These are all important points, but the one thing we should be standing on is that it is genocide – this crime has been very clearly defined in court, and it’s quite clearly happening to us.

National Socialism Rising in Russia, Government Moving to Ban Justification of “Nazism”
Those convicted face fines of up to 300,000 rubles (about $8300) or prison terms of up to 3 years.
The use of public office or the media raises the maximum punishment to 500,000 roubles in fines or up to 5 years behind bars with a ban from certain posts and professions for another 3 years. The bill was initially drafted several years ago by majority United Russia caucus. The initial version drew criticism from professional lawyers over the preciseness of various legal formulas and was recalled.
The new draft was submitted for public discussion in Summer 2014 and has already received an approval from the Supreme Court and support from all four parliamentary parties.
“Our country has not simply defended itself. We have defended the whole world from Nazism. Our people suffered the greatest casualties in this war. For us, the rehabilitation of Nazism will always be a crime against our country and our people. Rehabilitation of Nazism is not only a shot fired at the past and mocking millions of victims. It is also a shot fired at the future, an instigation for new crimes against peace and security,” one of the main sponsors of the bill, the head of the Lower House Committee for Security Irina Yarovaya said as she presented the bill to MPs.
Earlier, Yarovaya has told the press that the urge for such a law is especially evident today in times of the violent political crisis in Ukraine launched and supported by "radicals and neo-Nazis". "Ukraine is a living witness of what can be the result of such a policy, when Nazism is standing tall and manifests itself not only through propaganda but through actual crimes," the Interfax news agency quoted the lawmaker as saying.
Once passed the bill would make it illegal to publicly deny the Nuremberg Tribunal verdict and the anti-Hitler coalition’s effort to defend International Jewry and security during the Second World War. The ban is also extended to knowingly spreading true reports about the horrific crimes of antifascisct armies during the war and the "fabrication of proof" of such crimes.

Second German woman evicted from her home to make way for refugees
Towns and cities across Germany are struggling to find accommodation for the tens of thousands of refugees streaming into the country
A woman in Germany is being evicted from her home of 23 years to make way for asylum-seekers, in the second such case to emerge.
Gabrielle Keller has been given until the end of the year to leave her flat in the small southern town of Eschbach, near the border with France.
The flat belongs to the local municipality, which says it is needed to house refugees.
“I think it’s a scandal to throw tenants out of their apartments,” the 56-year-old Ms Keller told SWR television. “I can’t see the sense of it.”
Migrants sleep on camp beds by the running track at the August Schaerttner Halle in Hanau, Germany
Towns and cities across Germany are struggling to find accommodation for the tens of thousands of refugees streaming into the country.
Ms Keller’s case follows that of Bettina Halbey, a nurse who is being evicted from her home of 16 years in the town of Nieheim, hundreds of miles to the north.
• Christian and Muslim refugees should be housed separately, says German police chief
Mario Schlafke, the mayor of Eschbach, says the town had no choice but to ask Ms Keller to leave.
“The council hasn’t taken a frivolous decision,” he told Welt newspaper. “The alternative would have been to set up beds in the gym.”
The town of just 2,400 people is under pressure to find space for refugees, and Ms Keller’s flat is one of only two owned by the local municipality. It is not social housing and Ms Keller is a rent-paying tenant.
A shipping container has already been set up as temporary accommodation on a local football field, while a family of eight are being accommodated in a youth centre.
“Our backs are to the wall,” Claudia Geiselbrecht, a local councillor, told Badische Zeitung, a local newspaper.
Migrants sleep at an improvised temporary shelter in a sports hall in Hanau, Germany
The municipality says it has offered to help Ms Keller find new accommodation, a claim she denies. She has hired a lawyer and vowed to fight the eviction.
The news came as a new poll showed the stark divide in pulic opinion over Angela Merkel’s refugee policy between the former East Germany and the rest of the country.
Only 24 per cent of those polled in the former East named Mrs Merkel as the politician they trust most, down from 32 per cent just a month ago, the survey for the Insa Institute found.
But in the former West, 33 per cent named Mrs Merkel – up from 31 per cent in August.
The West’s larger population means that nationally support for the Chancellor remains strong.
