Birds of a feather

     Former National Review columnist John Derbyshire- who got fired from that grace-and-favor gig for being too out there on race even to suit them- is back at a new blog venue (he continues, under a pseudonym, at The Secular Right, too):

          Conservatism, Inc. or otherwise, is a white people's movement, a scattering of outliers notwithstanding.

          Always has been, always will be. I have attended at least a hundred conservative gatherings, conferences, cruises, and jamborees: let me tell you, there ain't too many raisins in that bun. I was in and out of the National Review offices for twelve years, and the only black person I saw there, other than when Herman Cain came calling, was Alex, the guy who runs the mail room. (Hey, Alex!)

           This isn't because conservatism is hostile to blacks and mestizos. Very much the contrary, especially in the case of Conservatism Inc. They fawn over the occasional nonwhite with a puppyish deference that fairly fogs the air with embarrassment. (Q: What do you call the one black guy at a gathering of 1,000 Republicans? A: "Mr. Chairman.")

          It's just that conservative ideals like self-sufficiency and minimal dependence on government have no appeal to underperforming minorities—groups who, in the statistical generality, are short of the attributes that make for group success in a modern commercial nation.

          Of what use would it be to them to embrace such ideals? They would end up even more decisively pooled at the bottom of society than they are currently.

          A much better strategy for them is to ally with as many disaffected white and Asian subgroups as they can (homosexuals, feminists, dead-end labor unions), attain electoral majorities, and institute big redistributionist governments to give them make-work jobs and transfer wealth to them from successful groups.

          Which is what, very rationally and sensibly, they do.

     Remarkably, Derbyshire sounds just like Slut Wallah proprietor Will Folks. Who's borrowing from whose position book?
