RW columnist: Less black people escaped slavery than voted for Obama, they WANT white supremacy

[ck4829]

Former National Review columnist John Derbyshire returned to the white nationalist website VDARE, headed by his colleague Peter Brimelow, to defend his earlier VDARE column arguing that “White supremacy, in the sense of a society in which key decisions are made by white Europeans, is one of the better arrangements History has come up with.” In a post published yesterday, Derbyshire claimed that “the overwhelming majority of Black Americans agree with me” because only a small fraction of freed slaves left the U.S. to Africa after the abolition of slavery, noting that Harriet Beecher Stowe and Abraham Lincoln had at times supported efforts to resettle African Americans in Liberia:

But with all this opportunity and encouragement, how many freed blacks actually chose to escape from under the iron heel of white supremacy? Most sources give 15,000-20,000—out of a Civil War-era black population of around four million. That’s less than half of one percent. Ninety-nine point five something percent preferred white supremacy. That's an even bigger proportion than voted for Barack Obama in 2008.

Hear that sound? That's either the sound of your sanity evaporating or your neurons short circuiting while you are reading this.

1. Shameful

Why are racist jerks like this given press? How absolutely disgusting.

2. so according to his logic,

I'm poor, living in a country ruled by rich assholes, so I WANT it that way.

What a used douchebag.

3. Ignorance walking and talking.

Oh, my God.

ETA: Derbyshire's argument is a bit different from the OP, but no less asinine. He's saying that free blacks wouldn't move back to Africa, and that means they were down with white supremacy. Jeez, Louise, what filth!

5. If I said something along the lines of "that type of thinking is like saying the Jews liked the

resort at Auschwitz, so few of them escaped" ...

then I'd be accused of being an Anti-Semite in today's environment.

But this guy ... he'll continue working. Hell, he'll probably get a raise and a promotion.

6. He has cancer; perhaps he's given up hiding his racism and hate

I don't know if it is terminal, but PZ Myers thinks it is:

Derbyshire has been fired from his more mainstream position, and he’s dying of cancer — he’s got nothing to lose. It’s quite bracing to see an old-school bigot open his yap and vomit forth his prejudices without the mealy-mouthed cliches all the others use so freely.

But still…he’s a racist, homophobic, bigoted asshole. I think he should even more freely embrace that label.

Derbyshire is himself a cancer on the human race, though.

7. Well, how many of the freed slaves voted for Lincoln? That proves that

They preferred the comfort and security of having the white man take care of them doesn't it?

8. Man he's got it all backwards.

Black people stayed so that they could eventually take over the white house (in the most heinousway possible to a white supremacist) by a vote of the people. The end game to enslave the white man. Gawd, that he contorted it into something else shows his total lack of understanding.

do i need this?
