Derbyshire Showed His Ass

John Derbyshire will probably be fired no later than Monday from National Review Online (America’s Shittiest Website™). A lot of people are focusing on his (10a) to (10i) explanations for why his kids should avoid black people. Those are good, but I prefer (13).

(13) In that pool of forty million {black Americans}, there are nonetheless many intelligent and well-socialized blacks. (I’ll use IWSB as an ad hoc abbreviation.) You should consciously seek opportunities to make friends with IWSBs. In addition to the ordinary pleasures of friendship, you will gain an amulet against potentially career-destroying accusations of prejudice.

Not only does this establish a new awesome acronym (IWSB- Intelligent and well-socialized blacks), but it also explains that the best reason to make friends with a black person is so you can say, "I am not a racist, I have a friend named Jamaal." And the best part is that this so does not protect Mr. Derbyshire from "career-destroying accusations of prejudice."

If Mr. Derbyshire has followed the wise advice that he provided for his teenage boys, he presumably has a black friend. Will that black friend become an amulet now? I think not.

Mr. Derbyshire will surely ask that we not reflexively attack him for daring to say something controversial but supported by the evidence. He'll say that blacks really do commit more crimes and they really do score worse on IQ tests and he will appeal to studies (some valid, some discredited) to argue that he's justified in warning his kids off black folks. He might be able to launch a semi-plausible defense of his tirade. We might be reduced to arguing about the rigor and credibility of his sources. Except he rather explicitly advises his kids that they can get away with being huge racists if they just befriend one or two intelligent and well-socialized blacks.

I'd say that that rather gives away the game. Derbyshire showed his ass.

1. Yes, indeed, Babylon. "intelligent and Well Socialised Blacks"? WTF??!!

This is an idiot an a half. My brother holds a degree in ASTROPHYSICS and THEORETICAL MATHEMATICS, you ignorant SOB. If this moron feels this way, should he any any of his children ever need a transplant OR blood transfusion, I'm sure he'd rather die than take a chance to potentially get an organ or even so little as one platelet from one of "US".

Does he actually think that we;re stupid enough NOT to realise that his children, (if they're as shallow as titanium force ignorant as he is), are trying to adopt a black friend for reasons other than friendship? what makes him think that they are even "worthy" of friendship with someone of color IF they have the inbred mindset he's inculcated into his children?

This ignorant imbecile is cheeky to think that anyone would even want THEIR chidren associating with his. He speaks about people like me as if we're pit bulls....He showed his NATURAL ass, Babylon!

2. Ecumenist, I feel the need to apologize

for this moron. I am embarrassed to be even the same color as him, and disgusted beyond belief.

[Ecumenist]

3. Darling, you have NOTHING to apologise for. My husband shares the same complexion as the two of

you. He a moron in a category ALL BY HIMSELF. We 're all human beings and one day, (hopefully) he'll have to face that fact.

[redqueen]

4. He's been doing it regularly for years.

It's nice that he'll finally face some kind of consequence for it.

11. +1

5. I wonder if there is a link to what he actually wrote.

Now I'm curious to read his whole outrageous paper.

8. The whole revoltin' thing is here:

[LadyHawkAZ]

15. Holy Spaghetti Monster!

That'll teach me to click the link. I'd like to unsee that pile of shit now.

What century is this again?

[Typical NYC Lib]

6. What a FUCKING Idiot!!!

[MrScorpio]

7. Obviously, he's too fucking stupid to realize...

That the line, "Some of my best friends are black" is a well established line of racist bullshit.

Jeez.

[Rex]

9. Wow, how completely and totally insulting to the core.

An amulet? Shithead went to the well for that one! I hope he likes dumpster diving.

[derby378]

10. Dude, that's fuckin' EPIC

We are all, every one of us, the same skull beneath the skin. We are one human family. Some of us fuck up and make really bad choices simply because of the color of someone else's skin, but it doesn't change the fact that we're all children of the same God.

12. it sounds like he is talking about dogs.........

I am horrified to share a planet with these people.

13. Fired

14. Rightly so; thanks! nt

[malaise]

16. Good riddance

Not that I ever read that shit

[eShirl]

17. The worst part is, there are more where that came from.

How many more people think the same way but aren't dumb enough to write it down out in the open where everyone can see it?

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

[Tom Ripley]

19. Do you mean "arse"?

Why do we have to import racists when we have more than enough homegrown ones?
