Man-Bites-Dog Racism

Dogs behaving like dogs is not news.

Mainstream culture does a good job at pretending to believe in racial equality. In fact, it does such a good job through its movies, TV dramas, and commercials that Whites are typically depicted as more stupid and violent than Blacks, who are routinely portrayed as preternaturally wise and forbearing.

The message hammered home night and day seems to be that Blacks (plus honorary Blacks, like Mexicans, Jews, Asians, etc.) are the backbone of our civilization and the cement that keeps the breeze blocks of our society together. But what does the liberal-leftist media really think?

This is revealed in its daily news coverage. Many White Nationalists tend to see this as just another branch of the giant propaganda machine of Hollywood, spewing out yet more of the PC garbage and affirmative action imagery that we see in cinemas and on the TV.

It seems that only this could explain why news channels focus so obsessively on any scrap of news that vaguely hints at any kind of nastiness done by a White (or even an ‘off-White’) person to someone of color, while all the time routinely ignoring the tsunami of Black-on-White hate, crime, and violence. The touchstones for this White nationalist viewpoint are the Trayvon Martin case and such cases as the recent beating to death of an 88-year-old WWII veteran by two Black teens.

Delbert Belton

While Martin’s justifiable killing continues to reverberate, the murder of Delbert Belton is currently enjoying its mayfly existence in the maw of the memory hole, which will presently bolt it down into never-ending anonymity; there to linger in the mists of amnesia, alongside countless other atrocities committed by Blacks against Whites. It just isn't news.

White nationalists can't help feeling that if there was any justice in the world, Trayvon Martin would only have been a footnote in a local paper, while Belton would constantly be commemorated as an undying symbol of the massive collective guilt of a Black community that continues to perpetuate a culture of violence and anti-White racism.

Such WN views are understandable and laudable. Indeed, I would contend that they are egalitarian in a true sense of the word, in that they assume an equivalence between Black evil and White evil, with the only difference stemming from the fact that there seems to be a lot more Black evil washing around than White evil.

Because of the apparent injustice of the news media in not reflecting this, some racially aware Whites may develop a sense of paranoia that finds release in hackneyed anti-Semitic theories. But this is in fact a simplistic viewpoint that misses a much more complex reality and irony. Whether the news media is controlled by a lot of Hebrews with propagandizing intent or not, it also operates according to certain fundamental principles best summed up by the famous and variously attributed aphorism:

“When a dog bites a man that is not news, but when a man bites a dog that is news.”

In other words, the news has a tendency to focus on aberrations and oddity, not banalities or normality. When the liberal leftist news media callously ignore or downplay Black-on-White violence, all they are doing is admitting that it is so common as to be of little interest. Yes, poor Mr. Belton, after surviving the horrors of WWII, he ended up getting kicked to death by two teenage morons who had no concept of the value of his or any other life. By not treating this with the same outrage and obsession as the killing of Trayvon Martin, the news media is merely admitting that such an incident is just part of the normal background noise of any multiracial society and that such acts are typical for young Black males. How's that for racial stereotyping?!

While White nationalists unwittingly stand up for the idea that Blacks are actually human beings and individuals who should be judged equally and fairly, based on the merits or demerits of their actions, the liberal leftist news media subscribes to the opposite and frankly racist view that Blacks are not individuals and are evil to begin with, while Whites are good. When they act according to these baselines, no news has occurred because bad men doing bad is not news, while good men doing bad is. Using the aphorism as an equation, we can reveal what the mainstream media truly thinks about Blacks, who are effectively equated with dogs, in that their ‘biting’ of Whites is not considered newsworthy, while Whites ‘biting’ Blacks is:

(Dog bites man = no news/ Man bites dog = news) = (Blacks = dog/ Whites = man). This proves once again that the worst racists are the ones who use the word "racist" the most.

This insight can also be extended to the propagandizing aspect of fictional culture, where movies, TV drama, and commercials are dragooned into presenting inaccurate and positive Black stereotypes. This is done to (a) create a sense of inclusion, and (b) provide what middle and upper class Whites believe are positive Black role models so that Blacks can change their unsatisfactory behaviour. Whether Blacks feel 'included' by such propaganda is another question.

Here again, both intentions are based on the premise that there is something deeply dysfunctional and flawed about Blacks and that the only way to cure this is to provide them with fantasy templates that they will hopefully conform to. That there is no need for similar “positive” White stereotypes shows that the liberal media is signaling once again that Blacks are unacceptable as they are.

So, how can America and the West in general escape from this curse of ever-mutating racism? The answer has already been suggested in the essentially non-racist and egalitarian attitudes of White nationalists, who seek to hold Black-on-White violence to the same standard as White-on-Black violence, and who realize that any attempt to assimilate widely different racial groups to the cultural norms of another are immoral and doomed. But, be warned, getting rid of racism will not eradicate racial conflict. It will merely make the fundamental problem of race more clear and apparent, a vital precondition for solving it.
