Joseph Kay – The Unz Review Oct 25, 2022
Racial politics abounds with riddles, and among the most baffling is why black leaders are soft on crime that victimizes their own voters. What candidate would possibly run on a platform “Vote for me and I’ll ignore neighborhood crime”? It makes no sense to us, but it is a rational strategy both for the office-seeker and at least some constituents. Crime pays, and not just for the perpetrators.
We must start by recognizing that political power in the United States is geographically based. With few exceptions, elections occur in districts — you vote along with those around you to choose leaders who represent a geographically defined constituency. It is also a winner-take-all system; a strong second-place finish gains nothing.
Our political vocabulary reflects the centrality of geography. A “Hispanic district” is one where Hispanics live and thus dominate elections. If these Hispanics were scattered, their political clout would be sharply diminished. Battles over redistricting and gerrymandering reflect this geographical importance, as rivals try to draw boundaries to include as many potential supporters as possible.
It makes a huge difference whether a black voter lives in Baltimore, Maryland, or Butte, Montana. The vote of the black Montanan counts for zero in helping to elect a fellow black, because blacks don’t run for office in Butte. If this black voter moved to Baltimore, he could help a black secure the election of a fellow black. Clustered residency is essential to identity politics.
The demographic composition of electoral districts shifts over time. Typically, poor immigrants group together and vote as a bloc to elect one of their own, but upward mobility will eventually change the district. Over decades, for example, once-German-dominated election districts in New York City were taken over by Eastern European Jews. These Jews were then replaced by newly arrived Hispanics. Political change comes with economic progress.
How can a black elected official survive demographic change that could scatter his supporters? The answer is black crime. Crime and mayhem do not guarantee that blacks won’t move out — many will — but “blackness” will keep others out. Creating an undesirable neighborhood is equivalent of establishing an ethnic homeland. Black elected officials may complain about a Soros-designated district attorney who opposes cash bail — but not too loudly.
This race-related disorder can be viewed as anti-gentrification. So, just as whites follow statistics on murder and shootings, black leaders may be alert to “threats” to their geographical domination: the spread of over-priced gourmet coffee shops, trendy art galleries, and fashionable boutiques catering to young white “settlers.” Indeed, the sight of a jogger in a designer tracksuit sounds the alarm and may require putting a few more drug dealers on the street corner as deterrents.
Flooding the neighborhood with police could bring the demographic shift that undermines black political power. With safe streets and trash-free parks, adventuresome whites may move in. Rents will rise, and developers will buy up cheap slum property, evict the tenants, and renovate. A critical mass of white families could follow. There goes the neighborhood, and with fewer blacks, a political shift is inevitable. New residents will elect officials more worried about global warming than “white supremacy.” Gentrification undermines black political power.
Local, majority-black schools play a key role in keeping whites out since almost no white parent will send junior to a violence-plagued school where learning is impossible. Nor can most potential homesteaders afford private school tuition or have the leisure needed for home-schooling.
Likewise, violence-prone youngsters can ruin “white” businesses if these establishments “invade” their turf. Good luck to an organic grocery or feminist bookstore if rowdy youngsters decide they don’t like it. Mobs of looters are combat units for repelling white invaders.
While elected black officials are the chief and most obvious beneficiaries of racial clustering, they are not alone. There are many benefits that upscale whites mistakenly think are problems. The poorest blacks benefit from de-policing and the absence of “white” standards because in police-free neighborhoods, they can drink and smoke weed in public, gamble, solicit sex, play loud rap music, ignore traffic rules, shoplift and re-sell stolen loot openly, and otherwise engage in lower-class black behavior. Small-time street peddlers needn’t worry about competition from cheaper white-owned big-box stores. This freedom comes at a price — occasional shootings — but the trade-off appears to be acceptable, judging from the hostility to gentrification and to the police when they intervene.
Keeping whites out is a bonanza for blacks in education. Few whites will work in dangerous schools, and low test scores guarantee jobs for blacks thanks to endless calls for “investing in the children.” Nor is there any need to relax employment standards to ensure a “culturally competent” staff.
It is even good to have unmanageable students because fear keeps out pesky whites. Without them, blacks can run the schools however they like and don’t have to compete with whites for jobs. Perpetual disorder is the recipe for lifetime tenure. Even if white do-gooders complain about dismal outcomes, black teachers can always blame systemic racism, under-funding, and all the other excuses clever white leftists come up with for them. Tolerating school chaos is win-win both for the teachers and for students who don’t care about school.
It isn’t just violence that keeps out white teachers. Few whites want a government job in a neighborhood with aggressive panhandlers and angry-looking groups of teenagers. Black neighborhoods don’t offer nice sandwich shops for lunch or Irish bars for after-work drinks, let alone places to shop before heading home.
This is why the chains such as Walmart or Whole Foods that still survive in black areas are almost entirely staffed by blacks. Whites don’t want to work there. The same is true for hospitals and clinics. Dealing with blacks is a chore and it’s sometimes dangerous. By contrast, not even white women are likely to refuse a good job at a bank in a Chinese neighborhood or even an improving Hispanic neighborhood. Whites might feel distant from fellow workers or local shopkeepers, but wouldn’t worry about safety.
Black crime means controlling territory, with criminals serving as border guards. Thanks to crime, black elected officials have near lifetime employment. Rampant crime is a tax on residents, but the proceeds of this “tax” pay for benefits to a wide range of recipients. This is why black leaders and their white Democrat allies are indifferent to the cry that black-on-black crime destroys black neighborhoods. It maintains black neighborhoods. Black office holders need not worry about losing elections no matter how bad the carnage.
I will not speculate as to the extent to which black leaders consciously follow this strategy, but it certainly helps keep them in control.

Problems become intractable if the will to solve them falls short of the will for creating and maintaining their profit-margin.
Monetizing societal fragmentation/division is perfectly socketed to the inflows of money based on debt, not based on expanding the economy specifically based on leveraging the efficiency of humans-working-together, whether digging for gold (and other minerals) or manufacturing.
The only product that government offers for the “money” (Fed) is creating and maintaining problems between people.
With only a few patriots (comparatively) we shrugged off the yoke of the British Empire, but with so many more tried-and-true Americans (absolutely), we find it impossible to slip out from the yoke of a demonstratively more evil enemy-within.
We have become a country of guilty (weak and simple-minded) non-blacks that would rather virtue-signal into the slipstream of black dysfunctionalism-due-to-slavery/racism by throwing tax-dollars at it, the way they do with literally everything from abortion to “science” research.
Throwing real money at real problems has an infinitely better chance of working than throwing debt-money at lie-based problems.
The spread of communism starts when people are silenced. Free speech is the first freedom citizens lose.
Political Correctness is there to shut people up
The best way we know to combat this is to ignore lies of government and continue to report the Truth.
Vote Reform party
The article makes it seem as if Black violence is a political strategy, or opts to see it from that point of view; it is really, of course, just in the nature of Blacks to resort to violence quickly
Civilization & simians are incompatible. If a white created nation is stupid/insane enough to import millions of simians & mongrels into its civilization, via slavery or immigration, then it will inevitably implode & disintegrate into nigro nihilism, criminal chaos & interracial insanity. Which basically mirrors the present condition of all these western societies/cities today.
I agree with ‘The Truth’.
all movements on way to power first
have used their criminals against the
old order .
Vote Reform Party?
People on here just don’t get it.
The fact that they call themselves The Reform Party indicate that they have no intention to introduce radical policies to deal the with the crisis that is now unfolding, but slow witted people want to support a party that is UKIP part 2 (civic nationalism) for ffs.
Go ahead and wast another 10 – 20 years being led into a cull de sac.
Here is some pertinent info on this establishment safety valve mark 2

The Truth isn’t wrong in his comment above.
The author stated, “Dealing with blacks is a chore and it’s sometimes dangerous.” … Now now, a chore? Blacks have demonstrated consistent behaviors over 10, 000 years; piss poor impulse control, faulty future orientation, abysmally low intellects, severely warped “values”, a complete lack of dignity and integrity, and a propensity for savagery and violence…what could possibly go wrong?
So much of what was presented in this piece I experienced first-hand during the decades in which my primary residence was in the black majority city of New Orleans. I didn’t live in the ‘hood, of course; a white would be insane or suicidal to do so, but it was, and remains, a city infested with less-than-worthless niggers, and it becomes more hopeless every year as what is discussed in this piece is a truism in a city like that. As I mention many times in comments, niggers, like Jews, are nothing but a force for degradation and destruction.
It’s hard to imagine what & who it would take to return to the segregation policy. The blacks did a lot better then because white man policies, procedures, & manners were still dominant despite the whining, wailing ((rat race)) in the midst of it all.
Yes the problems they create are
COMPLEX.
But fortunately the answer is
SIMPLE.
These sick small penised racist are at it again blaming Black people and spouting unfounded racist tropes.
Meanwhile whites kill in the millions globally from ww1, ww2, korea, vietnam, mass vaccinations, school and mass shooting, serial killings, 10 million killed in the congo by leopold and belgium, the list goes on and on and on.
you call us monkeys; but monkeys have small dicks like you white people, your race are the no1 child molesters.
sick individuals all of you.
You are forgetting Rwanda and the hundreds if not thousands of other tribal wars. That’s not something you can blame the white man for. The only thing you can blame for that is Black African’s own lack of written historical record.
And by the way, I have a big dick … and can move and throw a good punch too. So don’t come your Black superiority bull!!!! with me.
Love your comment, Rixon! Amen, brother. I was going to inform jason that though I may be slightly off-kilter, I’m not necessarily “sick” and I have an impressive dong…and I’ve bedded more than one black woman who could attest to that. And like Rixon, I’m a trained, experienced fighter…though I prefer to be a lover, with my impressive white dong that is. 🙂
jason, old boy, no “tropes” in my comment, only demonstrated truth. Too bad if you can’t handle it.
lots of B.S and hate at this site.
If you can sift through LIES.
Most talk, what they do not know.
Major surprise coming !!!
