White men with guns

Charlotte Childress and Harriet Childress4:39 PM ET

Our nation must confront why they perpetrate so many shootings.

The more the left and assorted anti-racists lose their grip on the collective consciousness (let alone their grip on reality), the more absurd their lies become and the more hyperbolic and vehement their propaganda. The ego is at its most deranged when finally confronted with oblivion.; 3/29/13, 5:55 PM
David said...: Check out - not the message, but the art work and photos on the authoresses' pages. Very telling.

A vendetta against whites is one of their major motivations, it seems.

"With $1 million in grants from the National Science Foundation, Charlotte researched what math, science, engineering, and technology would be like if the perspectives of females, African Americans, Latina/os, and American Indians were included." Link.; 3/29/13, 5:55 PM
Dean Reynolds said...: The nation doesn't want to answer that one, because it will disproportionately turn out that white men (as opposed to NAMs) who do shoot someone else are far more likely do so in self-defense, like when a couple of angelic African American 'youths' with rap sheets break into the white man's home at 3am with guns themselves, and put the white man, his wife and their two small children in serious risk.

Another big category of white men with guns are those disproportionately putting their lives in harm's way as soldiers, but hey, who cares about facts when the Narrative is so much more convenient. After all, the media couldn't possibly be distorting the truth when 'Cops' movies, and advertisements all depict white men as being the criminals (esp. the violent ones).; 3/29/13, 6:01 PM

Maybe the reason I thought it was a joke was because it's very rare to see the prestige press openly acknowledge the racial breakdown of crime perpetrators. I guess white people are just so privileged that they get special attention no matter what they do.; 3/29/13, 6:12 PM
Rob said...: About the authors:

"Charlotte and Harriet Childress are identical twins. Collectively, they have earned eight college degrees, including one Ph.D. and four master’s degrees; taught college-level pharmacy, engineering, math, physics, and chemistry for twenty years; received nearly a million dollars in research grants from the National Science Foundation; published one book and fourteen articles; presented seminars and speeches in ten states; worked eleven years in R&D and manufacturing in Fortune 500 companies and NASA; traveled to five continents and forty-eight states; raised a daughter and a son; served on boards of public and historic parks, schools, and neighborhood and community organizations; welcomed more than thirty youths and adults from eighteen countries into their homes, for stays ranging from a weekend to a year; coached twenty-one seasons of youth basketball, soccer, baseball, softball, and swimming, and led Girl Scout troops for more than a decade. They live in the Pacific Northwest."

No wonder they didn't find time to consider this.; 3/29/13, 6:14 PM
dingo said...: Maybe the first stage of a journalistic analysis would be to find out who exactly is doing all the killing. But then, the Wapo crowd probably does not want to know the answer.; 3/29/13, 6:19 PM
Anonymous said...: Maybe out nation should confront why the minority of shootings perpetuated by white men get so much more media attention than the much larger number of shootings perpetrated by non-white men.

White men with guns put Angst into the ruling class, one could get more specific, blacks with guns are just criminals.; 3/29/13, 6:21 PM
Auntie Analogue said...: The Childress twins: "Unlike other groups, white men are not used to being singled out."

Resort to the Big Lie. Rinse and repeat. There you have the one-percenter/political-managerial class/Media-Pravda/Leftist nexus at its practiced deviltry. If any group has for the last forty years been increasingly mocked and persecuted, it's White men. Who are these twins that they parrot the Big Lie with such conviction?

Oh. Wait. They're from Oregon. Right there is your first Big Clue. Almost makes me want to listen, for a good guffaw, to the New Riders Of The Purple Sage recording "Portland Woman."; 3/29/13, 6:25 PM
Auntie Analogue said...: The few White males who do the rare mass shooting resort to such violence...why?

It couldn't be because Leftist twits like the Childress twins are part of the vast Greek chorus that's zeroed-in on and vilified White males for the last forty years, could it?

Funny how the left excludes its own murderers and attempted murderers from its slanders of the other White men the Left loves to Hate. It's as if the Left never heard of Bill Ayers and his ilk unless its activists want to hold them up to us as exemplars of pure-hearted hunks of burning love for "social justice": http://michellemalkin.com/2013/03/29/the-bloody-company-hollywood-keeps/; 3/29/13, 6:32 PM

Also, Steve needs to get off Blogger, which is owned by Google, which buries the stats I just requested (along with lots of other politically incorrect data). It's also next to impossible to comment. Wordpress, Steve.; 3/29/13, 7:20 PM
Matthew said...: Yeah, their web page joint bio pretty much says it all: "Charlotte and Harriet are identical twins who live near each other in Oregon. They are active in their communities, serving on boards of public and historic parks, schools, and neighborhood and community organizations. They enjoy long walks, camping, commuting by bicycle/walking/bus, organic gardening, cycling, dancing, reading, needlework, backpacking, and cuddling with beloved cats and dogs."

Yep, they live in SWPL Oregon. Sounds like they really, truly heart diversity.

I'm all for free speech, but I propose a constitutional amendment that anyone who sings praises to diversity should be required to live in a community that is at least 75% black or Hispanic.; 3/29/13, 7:41 PM

No - immigrants aren't shooting up movie theaters - they're shooting up colleges, hunting parties, and immigrant education centers. They're also bombing skyscrapers and flying airplanes into them. Otherwise, immigrants are friggin perfect.; 3/29/13, 7:47 PM
Anonymous said...: I haven't read the article and won't bother. I assume the premise is that most mass killers (rampage shooters, serial killers, etc.) are white men. Presumably that's the case, but non-Hispanic whites make up 2/3 of the population (down from ~90% mid-century), so they could comprise the large majority of mass killers, recent and historical, without being proportionately over-represented.

The DC snipers, the VT shooter, and Chris Dorner come to mind as some notorious, contemporary, minority mass killers. I also recall reading a study from the 90s that said blacks were over-represented among serial killers by a factor of two. So, is there any evidence for the claim that white men are unusually likely to be mass killers, relative to men of other races?; 3/29/13, 7:48 PM
Whiskey said...: They're White women. White women from places like Portland ... wait for it ... HATE HATE HATE Beta Males. And no one, no one, does beta male more than White guys.

You would not see this if White guys were mostly aloof, Alpha assholes that women crave. More sexy White guys = less anti White guy stuff from White women.; 3/29/13, 7:50 PM
Matthew said...: I'm gunna go out on a limb here: I think the Washington Post has been punked.

I don't care to spend my Friday evening digging through links, but these women who are supposedly college faculty members and supposedly received a million dollars in grants for their work don't seem to have left much of a mark on the interwebs.

Anonymous said...: Of course Steve made a post out of this because Wapo is throwing stones while living in an especially shatter-prone glass house when its author attacks a racial group for being responsible for a subset of violent crimes, namely, mass shootings. One would love to thank for bring up the topic, and then begin to discuss connections to race of every other subset of violent crime..

The article suggests a thought experiment: "Imagine if African American men and boys were committing mass shootings month after month, year after year." But before the reader has time to immagine, in the next sentence we learn "Articles and interviews would flood the media, and we’d have political debates demanding that African Americans be 'held accountable.'" I went ahead and ran the thought experiment independently, and I come to the conclusion that there would very few media references to the racial pattern of mass shootings. This follows from the fact that the media does not show any interest in racial patterns of violent crimes in which the perps are disproportionately non-white. In fact, the mainstream media sometimes goes out of its way to obscure the racial identity of non-white criminals, as in a Times story from today about a prominent educator (a district superintendent) in Atlanta.

I give the Wapo author credit for raising an interesting question: "What facets of white male culture create so many mass shootings?" If she were honest, she might have followed this question with "Is it white males' obsessions with video games, money, gun shows, or fighting gun control, a combination of these, or something else?" Instead, unfortunately, she assumes these items constitute the answer, and asks why it is that white males have these obsessions.; 3/29/13, 7:55 PM

Sexuality: If That's All There Is

“I’m over forty years old, and I say it’s time I had a better sexual relationship,” Susan says to her friends.

“Are you thinking of having an affair?” Joni asks.

“No,” Susan answers. “I’m going to get the hierarchy out of my bedroom.”

Susan tells her friends that she wrote down her story in verse as it helped her to think clearly and concisely.

I’ve done the routine many times; I’m in search of something fresh.
I’m looking elsewhere than to those on top in matters of the flesh.

"Those on top?" Bonnie asks. "I guess you mean men." Susan explains:

Women know that heterosexual males are positioned right on top,
So we’ve gotten their limited perspective, for years, without a stop.
I've accepted that I’ll be waiting years, drawing on my pension,
If I expect males to bring sexuality a new dimension.

"That's being realistic," Bonnie responds.

Susan keeps on with the story.

Bob’s a loving man and in many ways he usually treats me well,
But there’s a hierarchy in our bedroom, so our sex has gone to hell.
We’re partners as parents, travelers, and when entertaining friends,
But we’re not really sexual partners, and I’m ready for this hoax to end.

Some nights I find I lie awake with Bob beside me snoring
And I dream how sex would be if it were a little less boring.
There's been new positions, toys, foreplay when lights are dim,
Yet, my lusty, earthy, powerful, sensual self — I don’t express with him.; 3/29/13, 8:00 PM

Yeah. What would science, engineering, and technology be like if the perspectives of African Americans, and Latinos were included? It would look like science, engineering, and technology in pre-colonial Africa and Latin America.

And most women don't seem that interested in such topics. Most of them, when they enter technical fields, studiously avoid doing much actual technical work. Instead they focus on the "human" aspects of the job, meetings, networking, "team-building", and the like.

As to the notion of what science and technology would like if it included the perspectives of this or that "excluded" victim group, I can imagine few studies that would be less meaningful or less scientific. It is nothing more than and exercise in alternative history, also known as fiction. They may as well have gotten Harry Turtledove to have written it.; 3/29/13, 9:58 PM

Single. Childless. Unable to even separate their personalities from each other ("between them they have blah degrees, blah years of work, blah books ...")

Maybe a bit autistic, given their science background, but unable even to recognize it since they are inseparable.

The white men they wanted to marry passed them by, perhaps because of their fear or their autism, who knows?

And as they age, living in their isolated perfectly safe all-white community in Oregon their sense of male rejection turns to fear. Fear of white men. Fear of white boys. Until finally they see a dangerous white man behind every bush and shrub.

Apparatchiks like that, no matter how sophomoric their writing and thinking, can even get positions as lecturer in the Sociology department, or doing something-or-other at ThinkProgress, the SPLC, Gawker, Media Matters, change.org, etc. Being black of course helps - I find it hard to believe that anybody but the jihadi PC true believer could mistake Toure or Charles Blow for deep thinkers or skilled communicators.

I hope that you posted that list in the WaPo comments. The notion that rampage killing and serial killing are entirely a white phenomenon is really just a damned lie. That false meme is consciously spread by people who want to demoralize whites, and is casually accepted as true by many whites.

What comments? Did I not have javascript turned on? Could've sworn I checked...

Perhaps this article gives a hint as to why white men have an overall low violent crime rate article, but a high rate of mass shootings.

You mean, proportional, not "high," I think. I like my theory: mass shooters sublimate their rage until it explodes. NAMs are too impulsive and present-oriented to do that, so they just kill one guy on the spot instead.

Is this why we're seeing such an insane push to disarm and marginalize white males (who by and large make up the largest percentage of combat veterans) even though doing so would set off the tinderbox anyway? Do they figure that if 'well what do we have to lose' if its going to happen either way?

White males are the enemy. Disarming your enemies is a good idea. And even if it wasn't, it pisses them off. That's a good enough explanation for me.

Honest question: Do the cultural marxists and rest of the leftists feel that the backlash is right around the corner and likely to be awfully bloody, especially if there's a religious component involved (think SSPX)?

I love this comment.

I feel fairly certain that this is indeed the exact motivation, consciously or unconsciously between Democrats' attempts to ban black rifles ("assault weapons") and large-capacity magazines. It's why Joe Biden is on TV, telling people to trade in their ARs (which, with slight mods to allow for shooting full auto, would make standard irregular infantry weapons) for shotguns (whose military value are negligible).

I don't think that that is the motivation for an article like this, however. As Steve has shown over the years, attempts to demoralize and shame straight middle class white males has other motivations:

* Plain old self-interested power grab on the part of non-Whites, gays and lesbians, and masculine/careerist women.

* For straight white males, some PC-alignment is getting-with-the-program fear, some of it is status whoring, and much of it is genuine jihadi religious fervor among parishioners at the First Equalitarian Church of Saint MLK. for rooting out heretics and witches.; 3/30/13, 5:42 PM

Ian said...: [continued]

I think that the biggest motivation, however, is labor costs dilution.

The main take-away that I got from reading Howard Zinn's commie classic "A People's History of the United States" was that US history is filled with labor/wage disputes between labor and management. Hundreds of these disputes ended in blood.

By 1955, however, the labor side had won the war, however. The mainstream US white middle class in the Eisenhower years was the most economically/politically empowered (relative to the ruling class) middle class the world had ever seen.

PC-ness is, in large part, I think, an attempt by those in power to take that power back from the middle class whites (males), and for the elites to be where they always have been in human society - ruling absolutely. If mainstream straight white males can be made to feel ashamed for white privilege and male privilege, then they will freely accept the wage dissolution that comes from flooding the market with immigrants and women.

I used to be confused at why all the supposedly conservative corporate titans who sit on the board of regents for major universities are so allowing of all the radical revolutionary pedagogy that takes place in the departments of sociology, women's studies, Afro studies, etc. It finally dawned on me - the CEOs are not only aware of Angela Davis and Bill Ayres being professors, they encourage it. This is because, the more "equality" is forced on those without enough power to avoid it, the cheaper and more compliant labor is. Rather than lifting NAMs, women, and gays up, the main point is to push down non-elete whites, mailes, straights.; 3/30/13, 5:43 PM

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/30/us-usa-immigration-deal-idUSBRE92T0B920130330

"Prospects for a broad U.S. immigration overhaul brightened on Saturday after major U.S. business and labor groups reached an agreement on a guest-worker program, a source familiar with the deal said.

The agreement was reached on Friday night in a conference call between the head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Tom Donohue, and the president of the AFL-CIO labor organization, Richard Trumka, with New York Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer acting as the mediator, according to the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

A guest-worker program has been a major stumbling block to efforts by a bipartisan group of senators known as the Gang of Eight to reach a compromise on a way to create a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States, most of whom are Hispanics.

Labor unions have argued against a guest-worker program, worrying that a flood of low-wage immigrant laborers would take away jobs from Americans. The agreement covers the pay levels for low-skilled temporary workers and the types of jobs that would be included."; 3/30/13, 8:40 PM

Jews who died in the Holocaust are deemed non-white victims of white oppression. Neoconservative Jews (e.g., Paul Wolfowitz, William Kristol) who helped bring about the Iraq War are evil white oppressors of brown, non-white, Arabs. At the same time, the posters consider the Ft. Hood shooter, Major Nidal Hasan, to be white because he is a Palestinian Arab who killed (mostly white) American soldiers.

It seems that the Left and Jews consider “bad” Arabs and Jews to be white and “good” Arabs and Jews to be vibrant minorities oppressed by evil Whites.

My take: Whites need to return to our pre-American roots. Americans of Slavic ancestry should band together and demand to be considered a distinctive ethnic group for diversity and lobbying purposes. If Jews can demand that American foreign policy revolves around the question “is it good for the Jews?” then Slavic Peoples should insist that American foreign policy revolve around the question “is it good for the Slavs?”; 3/30/13, 10:40 PM

Good point.

Consider how crime statistics work. Hispanic criminals are counted as “white” while Hispanic victims of crime are counted as “Hispanic.”

Imagine a fight between two identical twins of Hispanic ancestry. One twin kills the other twin. For statistical purposes, the FBI classifies the crime as a white person killing a Hispanic.
