Things wot I learned on the Internet today

* Even terrorist's websites get hacked sometimes. Tough luck Tali-gangsters.

* Ann Arbor should stop trying to be  hipster heaven and just stay a nice place to live in the Midwest.

* It's not a good idea to have first cousins marrying each other.

* Detroit is not going to be "ready" for a white mayor  any time soon.

Guns Don't Kill People; Dangerous Minorities Do

Good point. Some timely observations from the SBPDL blog. And, sad to say, they are most likely correct observations about how things really go around here. Minus out the violent crime hotspots here in Michigan (Detroit, Flint, etc.) and this place would have the same crime stats as as a civilized social democracy like Sweden.

Well they're finally admitting what's been the case for a while now

Democrats set to openly abandon White working-class interests in favor of Obama's coalition of elites, ethnic and racial groups, and public employees union members.

Black women can't find enough decent black men to get married to

And so they don't get married at all. So says John McWhorter in this City Journal article. If they're so determined to marry black men or not at all then I suppose it serves them right. Too bad all the same though. If you choose by skin color alone then I guess you should be prepared to suffer the consequences of such a choice.

Forshadowing an American race war?

That's what one movie review says about the latest in the hoary Planet of the Apes franchise The Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I haven't seen it yet so I can't say that I agree with that view. At least in this case anyhow.  I but I will say that the whiff of such doings is in the air.

What's up with all the "flash mob" violence in American cities this summer?

Says Walter Russell Mead: "...[I]t is not unlikely that future violence in the cities would look more like flash mobs and less like the urban riots of the 1960s.  Those riots targeted Black neighborhoods, Black owned stores and much of the property destroyed in the riots belonged to Blacks; any new trouble would likely be more effective at spreading the pain beyond the inner city.  Link ups in some cases with religious radicals or foreign interests who seek to do us harm cannot be excluded."

Sign of the times...

Black serial killer's murder spree shows the changing demographic face of America (Grand Rapids Press /MLive)
It used to be the conventional wisdom that mass-murders/serial killings were the bailiwick of disgruntled and/or crazy white males exclusively. But as the past few years have shown and last nights' massacre proves people of color are taking their place in this dubious statistical measure.

The rise of the Hans - New Geography (Joel Kotkin)
"With China's new prominence in global affairs, the Han race, which constitutes 90 percent of the Chinese population, is suddenly the most dominant cohesive ethnic group in the world -- and it is seeking to remain that way through strategic alliances, aggressive trade policy, and attacks on racial minorities within the country's boundaries. The less tribally cohesive, more fragmented West is, meanwhile, losing out."

The T-shirt says it all

The Bottom line on demographics from Jim Goad - Taki Mag
"Forbidding 'foreigners' from pitching tents on your soil and tapping your women’s asses is part of that ancient and eternal battle over life’s essentials: shelter and pussy. The biblical prophet Ezra realized this, which is why he nixed intermarriage in Israel after he returned from Babylon. He even busted up already existing mixed marriages. It’s sort of de rigueur if you want your tribe to survive. Ironically, strict and unyielding segregation may be the only way to make multiculturalism work."

 The "Michigan Man" curse  - The Michigan Daily (Michael Bertenthal)
"Coaches are traditionally supposed to emblazon the University. Despite our sky boxes and future night games, Ann Arbor may still be a place where these values matter. Attention to corporate social responsibility, therefore, can be checked and affected by the consumer — in this case the ardent fans — as well as less conspicuous financial boosters."

Observation: The incoming Republican majority in the HoR means more of the congress' leadership posts will be held by members from the industrial midwest  rather than big city machines, coastal elites and  racial and ethnic minorities. I doubt if it'll matter that much though. But it might.
