CREATIVITY AND 9.3 | 2008-11-16

The world record for the hundred yard dash the last time I looked was 9.3 seconds.

Have you ever watched an "international" sprint competition? You see nine racers competing, all of them black. The "Swedish" entry is black. The "German" entry is black.

They're ALL black and nobody expects anything different. But the Genome Project assures us that under the skin we are all "modern humans."

But if skin color makes no difference, this presents an obvious problem.

There is another race, one which makes infinitely more difference to the future of humanity than a new sprint record. Call it the Standard of Living competition. In this lineup you have white majority countries and brown countries.

Once again, there is no competition. It is entirely a matter of color. In sprints non-blacks are non-starters. Every country with black skin or mulatto skin is a non-starter.

This lesson of the sprints is so obvious no one notices it.

You see, in order for it to be noticed, someone has to POINT IT OUT.

And if the only person pointing it out is a tired old man called Bob, truth is being shortchanged.

DONT HAVE TOUCHY PEOPLE ON YOUR POLITICAL TEAM | 2011-04-30

I have explained why it is a disaster to have anyone in your team who could possibly have a tantrum and take his toys and go home because of an incident or an article. People who will go to pieces over something you write about religion or any other subject are time bombs waiting to go off, and you do NOT want them around any serious political team, even one as big as ours.

In the regular political arena, though, gratuitous insults to huge segments of votes that you have to get are signs that you need professional care. The Democratic Party did not even notice that when it accused George W of "Dodging the draft in the National Guard," they grossly insulted millions of people who had served in the National Guard.

It never came up.

The National Guard is a service in which no one anywhere the media elite ever has anything to do with. It is a wok ring class thing, a local thing. So those who claim to represent "workers" by reading the New York Times would not know about anyone but George W who would take it personally.

When National Review did a COVER article against ME in 1976 -- which made me so happy I was on air -- one quote was that Bob Whitaker was "More comfortable with the kind of people who shop at Niemann-Marcus (The Texas version of Wal-Mart at the time)" than with intellectuals like themselves.

Even from that bunch of political fools, this astonished me. Like Democrats with the National Guard, it did not even occur to them that they were denouncing tens of millions of actual VOTERS, all they had in mind was getting to ME.

I WAS more comfortable with anyone shopping at Niemann-Marcus than with the political moron who wrote that article.

He was working at the Voice of America when I was there and I got to tell him so.

Like when, in the 2004 campaign, John Kerry warned college students in a campus speech that if they didn't study they would end up in Iraq.

That went over well with the entire military forces and their families.

Yes, in your trusted political TEAM, you have to get rid of all the touchy political time bombs. But electoral politics is an entirely different matter.

The point being that you PICK your team. The voters you cannot choose.

TALKING TO NON-WHITES, ITS NOT THE RACES | 2011-12-31

If race comes up in my discussion with blacks. I have no problem with it.

I just point out what is being done to MY race.

Blacks talk about THEIR race all the time.

What screws us up is when we try to make an OBJECTIVE argument for the white race to non-whites.

And what will screw you up is if you make the thing complicated.

This takes the very moral courage that anti-whites have been ripping out of us for generations. It is why the Mantra is so hard to get people to use but so effective when we DO use it. It ASSUMES our right to be part of our race.

The second you try to make it an "us" issue with a non-white, you've LOST.

If they were to ask me about the implications of what I have said, which they have never done in THOUSANDS of cases, I would say I don't know exactly what to do because nobody allows us to discuss it freely.

HOW TO GET PROFILED | 2002-10-05

The first airline hijackings by Arabs broke out in 1970. About a month after that I took a trip to Africa with a lot of stops at airports in Europe.

Before the 1970 rash of hijackings there were absolutely no searches of airline passengers. In the early 1960s, I once accidentally stepped onto a plane at Memphis airport that was completely empty! I went into the cockpit looking for somebody and then got off and found the plane I was supposed to be on.

The 1970 hijackings changed everything. Each airline tried something different. A lot of them had each passenger come into a little room and get a quick frisk.

To my surprise I found that I was getting profiled. Other passengers would go in and get out of the search room in a couple of minutes. They went over me with a fine toothed comb, taking ten or fifteen minutes and double checking. This puzzled me.

Somewhere in the air over Africa, I suddenly realized why I was being searched so especially.

I once worked in a prison. Everybody who came in, including the warden, got frisked before being admitted inside. Usually it was a light check, but they also had random thorough searches of each person who came in regularly.

So when I walked into the little airline search room, I took the perfect stance for being frisked. I held my jacket out in my right hand, kept my knees bent slightly, and held my hands rigidly out.

If there was a wall I probably propped my hands against it.

This worried the searchers. You see, the average airline passenger does not go into frisk position routinely as if he has lined up in a police station a hundred times before.

Do you think I was upset at the airlines? Of couse not. I looked like I belonged to a suspect population, so they searched me. That was the whole point of the exercise.
