While blaming Obama is the latest scapegoating in a country founded by men who dressed up like Mohicans to perform the Boston Tea Party (blame it on the Indians) I am noting far more articles portraying blacks in disgraceful habit. In this episode unruly blacks race to get Section 8 vouchers, a federal program that pays the difference between what rent is and what you can afford.
Because I am wealthy and well connected I pay about $400 a month for 2 bedroom in a garden spot with private access to Lake Washington. That is the going rate in a free market, one in which connections matter.
Blacks in USA, as they begin to develop separate but equal circumstances, find their worlds destroyed. Compensating programs appear to benefit groups, in this case Blacks, but that would be misleading. Section 8 is landlord welfare, wherein if a landlord is experiencing a 40% vacancy rate, he need not cut rent to fill his building, he merely gets fed vouchers to put poor people in at full rent, so 100% occupancy at the highest rent rate. This means the people in the building are subsidizing, on top of taxpayers, the landlords profits.
Now Section 8 can also be used for blockbusting purposes. Say there is an apartment building district, nice upscale, with one building for sale. An enterprising landlord will buy the building and load it up with section 8 tenants. As the neighborhood goes down, the landlord can buy up the other buildings cheap, and load them with section eight too. There goes the neighborhood.
If you are about to rent, always ask if the building accepts section 8. The landlord will not know if you are pro or con, and will likely tell you the truth. (If he hangs up on you, call back, it is not section 8) If it is a section 8 building, expect more disease (I was renting once in a building where they began accepting section 8, within 2 weeks a memo went out, please do not leave garbage in hallways, it attracts rats...) and crime, and you'll be paying more. Avoid Section 8 buildings at all costs.
It is not unique to Blacks that agitating leaders are bought of and the masses behind them continue to languish. In USA as Pat Buchanan notes:
Though 10 percent of the U.S. civilian labor force, African-Americans are 18 percent of U.S. government workers. They are 25 percent of the employees at Treasury and Veterans Affairs, 31 percent of the State Department, 37 percent of Department of Education employees and 38 percent of Housing and Urban Development. They are 42 percent of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., 55 percent of the employees at the Government Printing Office and 82 percent at the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency....that 44 percent of Fannie employees and 50 percent of Freddie's were persons of color.
Every government needs its despised class, India the Dalit, Japan the Ainu, China the Hakka (among others), communism the Kulak, and capitalism has the Blacks. And in every system they buy off the agitators.
There is nothing said about blacks today that was not said about the Irish a century ago. O! But there is a difference: skin color! Then you do not know how easy it is to spot an Irishman, if you are looking, and how socially conditioned the elite were to recoil in their presence, just as we are socially conditioned regarding Blacks today.
When a people allow power, sought and unsought, to aggregate in the hands of a few, those suffering from libido dominandi will strive to positions of leadership, and then exercise their terrible power. I know a cop whose stated reason for joining the force was to hammer blacks.
Although I regret the unfairness and indecency shown Blacks in USA, it is no problem of mine. I am sure there is even grace behind their suffering. Louis Farrakhan has demonstrated Blacks can live a separate but equal life in America, like the Amish, and what problem they have they can work on, like the Irish. But that is no solution, because I am still denied the benefit of competing with blacks in business.
(There is a wonderful film clip, I watched the original, circa 1964, American Bandstand, where the Rolling Stones followed James Brown. Mick Jagger stared offstage at James Brown, trying to mimic Brown's moves. Jagger's trademark spastic moves are compliments of Brown's dynamism.)
We ought not be limited to competing with blacks in showmanship, imagine the benefit if blacks were allowed in architecture, science, medicine and so on!
I would note that the Black elite makes much of the N word, to the extent that using the word "niggardly" can cost you your job (one of the few words to come to English from Swedish.) Reflect that the really damaging word is "black" as though there is such a thing. Black implies a homogeneity, a group of people similar enough to have necessary leaders. No such group exists, any more than "white." We are all unique, and no leader can represent us in any way. Of course no "black," then no black leaders. Like all people forming groups and demanding a leader, the leaders get bought off and the followers are targeted.
Of course, in a free market there are no leaders, just commercial transactions... the colors that matter are gold and silver.
