Why Do All These Mud People Keep Calling Me Racist?
(10a) Avoid concentrations of blacks not all known to you personally.
(10b) Stay out of heavily black neighborhoods.
(10c) If planning a trip to a beach or amusement park at some date, find out whether it is likely to be swamped with blacks on that date (neglect of that one got me the closest I have ever gotten to death by gunshot).
(10d) Do not attend events likely to draw a lot of blacks.
(10e) If you are at some public event at which the number of blacks suddenly swells, leave as quickly as possible.
(10f) Do not settle in a district or municipality run by black politicians.
(10g) Before voting for a black politician, scrutinize his/her character much more carefully than you would a white.
(10h) Do not act the Good Samaritan to blacks in apparent distress, e.g., on the highway.
(10i) If accosted by a strange black in the street, smile and say something polite but keep moving.
Holy wow… Go the link – the excerpt above actually makes Derbyshire look BETTER than the full version – once you get to points 11 and 12.
The comments section is a real peach too. Just… wow.
I like to look for the best in people. Derb should be commended for being one of the few conservatives willing to speak his mind. If they had any guts, they’d be arguing that racism is good, like Derb here, not that they aren’t racists.
I apoligize for being unfair. I’m sure many conservatives just hate poor people and don’t care about the color of their skin.
Seriously. It’s what is so often implied, but with enough deniability (at least in some people’s minds) that “why do liberals keep calling me racist” is the diversion on the ready. Pretty shocking still, though. I guess I’m still naive.
Derb certainly lacks the any sort of prudential filter. He’s simply willing to speak the right-wing id. See also his famous musings in defense of sexually desiring female children.
but Derb can’t be racist, he married a Chinese lady
Maybe he hates his wife.

noooo way. I once clicked through to the Derbywank, and it took me 3 weeks to feel clean afterwards. Never again!
11 and 12 were horrible.
Also horrible that this is supposed to be, roughly, a guide to parenting. I.e., something to transmit to your children (“the talk”).
Shocking to say the least. I guess it’s not surprising, but I do find it shocking. This is fairly mainstream, isn’t it?
It is interesting how there’s all these “lots of variation, treat individuals as individuals…but STATISTICS TELLS US TO RUN” moves. I mean, this is supposed to help? “Oh no, I’m not racist. I just use statistics to support my fear of black people.”
At first, when I read it someplace else, I swear I thought it was somebody paraphrasing him for satire. But all the remarks are scary. For all the opinion pieces. There was one on the Hunger Games that said that all action pics starring women were impossible and horrible, and that the poster wished he could find one where the heroine got killed and, I swear, “that they would eat her flesh. just to make a point.” These peeps have more issues than the National Geographic.
I’m pretty sure this is parody. Too over-the-top to be real.
I would be so happy if this were parody.
Conservatives killed irony and sodomized its corpse years ago.
I would have loved to consider this parody, but if you look at other things from Derb, its obvious, the guy is a full blown racist wackadoodle.
Its all David Duke’s talking points with a better handle on basic grammar. Derb would have no problem posting on Stormfront.
But Duke, even now, is a marginalized crackpot. Why isn’t Derb in the same place?
There are no photos of Derb in a hood and bedsheet. Its the same reason Pat Buchanan’s house doesn’t get T-P’ed all the time
That’s about the only difference. Same crap. Slightly less retarded package.
This is true. But for the KKK thing, he’d have his own show on Fox.
Alas Duke is probably a moderate now, hence his consignment to the margins.
Moderate? Shirley you mean “liberal”.
he did. and don’t call him surely.
It seems that once Derbyshire became a made man in the wingnut-welfare complex, he could come out as a white supremacist and a pedophile, while his colleagues shake their heads in amused disapprobation. Being a white supremacist right from the start is apparently still a barrier.
Doesn’t the Derb sport a fine British accent? Racism sounds classier in a Home Counties brogue
No-one capable of debauching verbs to create a parenthetical clause like “neglect of that one got me the closest I have ever gotten to death by gunshot” would have received many invitations to garden parties in the Home Counties. No wonder he crossed the Atlantic.
I wondered if it was parody, but then saw articles by Steve Sailer and Pat Buchanan on the sidebar, along with an article entitled Trayvonnosaurus Rex.
FSM, what an even worse Friday.
Nothing is too over the top for Derb. Especially when it comes to race.
that is as nothing compared to the vile spew he emits about barely pubescent girls.
No, they are equally vile.
Pray tell what he has against pubescent girls.
I would ask for a link, but I am both deeply afraid of what he has to say and do not want to draw the attention of the FBI and Dateline NBC.
Against them? Nothing at all. He loves them deeply. If you know what I mean, and I’m sure you wish you didn’t.
I think his rant against Chelsea Clinton in 2001 may count (21 probably isn’t barely pubescent though)
He really went on about Chelsea’s taint? That’s beyond disturbing.
Also FYWP.

He only wishes. Teenage girls take one look and run the other way.
Crowded subways are the Derb’s natural environment.
but them young girls they do get wearied, wearing that miniskirt dress
Whether or not it’s parody, you can take it to the bank that most of the commenters do not treat it as such.
Yeah, the comments are a joy. My girlfriend and I are white and have lived in NYC all our lives. We’ve lived in “heavily black” neighborhoods, worked in places “likely to draw a lot of blacks,” freely visited beaches and amusement parks “swamped with blacks” (god, what a disgusting phrase), acted as Good Samaritans to “blacks in apparent distress,” and we’ve even voted for black politicians. Amazingly enough, we managed to survive all of these terrors without once shitting our pants in Derb-like fear.
I do know that if I had a 14 year-old daughter I’d be certain to tell her to beware of degenerate bigots who look and think like John fucking Derbyshire. Christ, what an asshole.
I’m amazed he didn’t say avoid movie theaters in black neighborhoods or you’ll never hear the film.
Well maybe he did, but I aint getting out of the boat for Derb mangoes
This comment is enormously perfect.
Nigger, nigger, nigger.
Lee Atwater is once again proven wrong.
Actually if you substitute “Darbyshire” for “blacks,” the advice makes a lot of sense. Especially for adolescent girls.
I think you meant pre-adolescent girls.
Or if you switch “black” and “white”, it could be a useful guide to surviving in the Deep South, if you are yourself black.
Derbyshire (by proxy) draws a lot of this recycled 19th century concept of racial stereotypes from Phillipe J Rushton, a douchebag which anyone familiar with the Pioneer Fund will know very well.
Lynn, Jensen, Rushton, and even their opposite numbers in the “IQ is/is not hereditary” bar-fight going on in the pages of the Elsevier “journal” Intelligence (most of the leading figures in this backwater feud are on the editorial board of said journal) are mostly ignored by academia at large, because that crew wants to have the debate before trying to do things like come to a determination of what genes they’re looking at (rather than Rushton’s three “classic” races, which leave out huge swaths of the world’s population) and their odd ideas about evolution and intelligence.
*spits nails*
Sorry for rambling.
And they wonder why we get concerned about the shooting of Trayvon Martin. No racism in America, no sirree.
William F. Buckley must be spinning in his grave.
I mean, what with one of his writers saving his best material for other pages.
Heh, indeedy.

It appears that I am in daily violation of points 10a, 10b, 10f, 10i. The other points don’t come up daily so my violations are less frequent.
It’s a wonder you’re still alive.
No actually Ghana is a lot safer than most of the US as far as violent crime is concerned. Accra has one of the lowest violent crime rates for any city of its size in the world. Unlike some cities in the US, Europe, and Asia I don’t think there is any danger of being a victim of violent crime here.
That was my sarcastic voice.
plus, JJ Rawlings :)
you seem to be confused
The Derb is not talking about Africans
but about “the blacks.”
It’s like the Sixth Sense. You were killed the moment you stepped off the plane, and just haven’t realized it yet.
He has to go through a lot of shoe polish during the week.
Unlike in the US and Europe race isn’t an issue here. I have never had a problem being a visible minority in Ghana. I have never even heard of any Obrunis experiencing problems here based upon their skin color.
Makes sense.
Forgot you lived in Ghana.
That’s because you live in Ghana!
Wait, wait.
Otto lives in Ghana?
I had no idea.
My sister appears to violate 10b; I’m not so certain of the other points. She happens to live in Brockley in London, which has a high proportion of Blacks. It’s quite a friendly and pleasant place to be in (which is a rarity in London – full stop) and I’ve never felt in danger walking around.
Note, too, that the part of the Derbyshire article quoted in this post might be the least offensive part.
Why Do All These Mud People Keep Calling Me Racist?
Would Derbyshire ever ask this question? He doesn’t strike me as the “just because I say [x] doesn’t make me a racist” type. More the “racist and damn proud of it” type.
I think he’s more of the “it’s not racism it’s sound statistical inference!” type.
Which would be one thing if there were statistics, but most of his links are to news stories. The whole thing is a mass of argumentum ad what about that one time when.
Holy fuck.
I was literally going to post the same thing. I am in shock.
Well,geez, what else CAN you say? It’s just so jaw-droppingly awful.
You obviously neve had the misfortune to read one of his paens to pubescent girls.
Nope, no more racism after 2008!
Derb’s rules can’t come close to Satchel Paige’s.
But then, Satchel had a heart, and a brain.
Hey Derb, if you find yourself in a black neighbor hood, ‘don’t look back – someone should be gaining on you!
And I’ll be rooting for him!
As a general rule, I try not to wish anyone (short of the worst of the worst) ill. However if grievous harm were to befall Derb, would it be ethically ok for me to wish him the slowest recovery possible?
Dude’s already stuck with being John Derbyshire, and it’s a life sentence.
Derbyshire apparently has cancer right now, so GO CANCER.
He probably figures he got it from a black guy to boot.
Only known case where the tumor is also saying, “Fuck, why me?”
Shortly followed by the realization that “the quicker I work, the better this gets.”
Is the cancer made out of blacks?
If only Bruce Lee were still alive, to kick his ass again.
However if grievous harm were to befall Derb, would it be ethically ok for me to wish him the slowest recovery possible?
Up to now, I have been been blissfully ignorant the the Derb. My response to people like him who are cancers to the body-politic is to place them in my “Wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire” category. I wouldn’t wish even this cyst on the butt of society harm but I’m not going on nanometer out of my way to give him any aid…ever.
Of course the odds of my having any direct (or even indirect) power over the well-being of John Derbyshire are so miniscule that they don’t need to be considered. But having that category is useful form maintaining my own mental happiness.
(10h) Do not act the Good Samaritan to John Derbyshire in apparent distress, e.g., on the highway.
Good god. No matter how bad you think it will be, it is worse.
On the bright side, at least there aren’t any comments here saying, “But we can’t say for sure he’s a racist.”
I wonder how many white Americans feel this way. One thing I learned working on various New York state local elections is that you can send white volunteers into black neighborhoods, no problem. There really are no issues at all. But there are white neighborhoods, in places like Nassau and Suffolk County, where it is just impossible for black people to knock on doors. The frequency of cops being called (and worse) is too high.
I am guessing a lot. In the US the average history opening gets 200 applicants. We have 15 slots open and got four qualified applicants. I am quite sure the main thing limiting our applicant pool from the US is our location in Africa. A big part of the reason people don’t want to work in Africa is racism.
That’s Ghana in Africa, right?
I don’t suppose they’re looking for someone who does medieval Europe, are they?
Yes we are.
As an aside, I’m looking for someone to teach me about medieval Europe. Got any book recommendations for someone with a passing knowledge of the Fall of the Empire?
This again? The big reason people don’t want to work in Africa is because it’s in Africa. You might have something if you could show that, say, a disproportionately low number of white people apply to jobs at historically black colleges in the US.
Your tautology does not explain why people do not want to work in Africa. The main difference between working in Ghana and working in the UK or US as a history lecturer is that most of the people here are Black rather than White. There isn’t some geographic aspect of Africaness separate from the population that makes people prefer to work in majority White countries.
Hell, if I could get a decent job in Africa I’d relocate in a minute. I’ve lived in Morocco for a few years in the 90s but pretty much anywhere would be fine (areas of current or likely conflict excepted, naturally).
There are lots more openings for history lecturers here than there are applicants. If you have a PhD in history from a legit institution you could easily get a job here.
MA in Religious Studies (specializing in Islamic studies) at an Ivy. I was doing a PhD there when I got ill and then divorced about a decade ago. I’m doing an MLS now with a certificate in archives and I’d love to go overseas with it but it doesn’t seem to be a degree that travels well.
This is so right.
A lot of people who live on Long Island do so specifically because they (or their parents) fled NYC because they were scared of THOSE people.
In my family’s case, the move from the ancestral homeland in Brooklyn to Queens did indeed have that motivation; while the later move out to Suffolk probably didn’t.
Wait, I slept in this morning. What year is it?
1850.
Derbyshire gets off the Super Man ride at Six Flags and looks around. “Jeez,” he says, “this place is suddenly swamped with blacks.”
He reaches into his interior breast pocket and removes an index card. “Ah, here it is. Rule (10e).”
He gets into his car and just as he exits the lot he gives that shudder one gives when one thinks too much about coyotes while taking out the trash, only to find that one’s back feels at its most vulnerable a half-beat after realizing total safety.
“I can’t believe I almost just got SHOT back there!”
The closest I ever came to being shot was in a couple of redneck dive bars in Oklahoma in my youth. Alcohol, meth, rednecks, and firearms are always a bad mix.
My best friend and his wife ended huddled up in their bathtub one night because their alcoholic meth-addled redneck next door neighbor decided that shooting up a target on the side wall of his garage at 1AM sounded like a good idea and ended up putting a dozen bullets through my friend’s living room wall.
There are reasons I am glad I left 25 years ago, before the meth epidemic got so bad. Back then it was only in the redneck biker bars that you really had to worry about it.
when’s the meth epidemic scheduled to hit Montana?
About ten years ago, but there are a lot less people here, so they are easier to dodge, and I have learned to stay out of redneck biker bars. I also live in an island of sanity amidst the sea of rightwing crazy.
Oh, right. yeah, there’s that, too. He mis-spelled “cracker rednecks” as “b-l-a-c-k”.
Gosh, he’s never watched that documentary, _Deliverance_, I guess.
If only the above rules were followed the first time by those who normally defend the prerogatives of empire.

StealthBadger:
Rushton is worth a look, if anyone is bored with turning over flat stones to see what emerges. He argues that humans can have either large brains or large penises, but not both — apparently it’s a trade-off. Something to do with K / r reproduction strategies. And black guys are apparently less intelligent because they have bigger dicks… he puts it more-or-less in those words. I’m not sure why black women are also supposed to be less intelligent.
His search for support for the “bigger dicks” thesis has led him to cite Penthouse Letters as serious evidence.
Consequently, Rushton is praised in Derbyshire’s intellectual milieu for his fearless independence of thought and his willingness to follow the evidence in contravention to Political Soundness. IIRC, “The Bell Curve” rests heavily on Rushton’s oeuvre.
Teh funny. Derbyshire doesn’t know how to spell “white fratboy”. He spelled “b-l-a-c-k”.

You’d think Robert Farley would try to win in the arena of ideas, but suppression is always easier.
That’s why despots always choose it.
He already has, since the trolls did not have any idea what the hell they were saying.
Yes, his wife is Chinese and so his kids are mixed race. Which ought to work out well since he says that Asians are smarter than whites. Evidently ole Derb had his own little genetic experiment going on. All you need to know about his success is here.
I think his wife would have married down, no matter who she was.
I find it interesting that those whites who subscribe to the “Asians are smarter than whites” never seem to wonder my Asian-Americans don’t run everything in this country, as their own reasoning would suggest should happen.
er, that’s “Asians are smarter than whites” thesis.
The “Asians are smarter” racists generally also believe that while whites might not be as clever as the cunning orientals, they’re more well-rounded, striking the perfect balance of the raw physicality of the black man and the excessive braininess of the mongoloid.
(At least, that’s my read of them.)
His daughter’s cute. Under the Derb’s own theories, is it acceptable for me to attempt to seduce her, or am I only allowed to do that if I’m a member of one of the superior races? I need guidance with this question, because I’m one of those Eastern European kikes, and I don’t quite know whether the Derb thinks we’re ubermenschen or dirty mud-people. Help!

Shorter Eddie Dean:
How come they don’t take my claims of white supremacy seriously?
—
Eddie, the reason why nobody gives a crap about minority on minority racism is that none of it ends up as national policy. There were never laws making white people chattel property. Blacks politicians haven’t lobbied to disenfranchise white and latino voters or take away social services to white people.
Nobody ever considers “honkey” or “cracker” fighting words or terms meant to confer inferiority.
The KKK used to run entire communities and send politicians to national office. The Black Panthers were “the gang which couldn’t shoot straight”. At best a relic of the 60′s. As relevant today as Wavy Gravy.
Whites makes up the majority of the population and largest % of those in position of power. Their racist crap becomes law.
