John Derbyshire On C-Span
He said black folks should forget about slavery and Jim Crow... That's as offensive as suggesting Jewish folks should forget about the Holocaust and the anti-semitism that still exists or Native Americans forgetting about the destruction of their culture and the appropriation of their land...

2. Yes
I think all of us need to get on with our lives but it's foolish to ignore the conditions that got us to where we are...


I really don't think that's a partisan or ideological point...

3. He also advocated killing Chelsea Clinton
Why does C-Span give time to assholes like this?

Chelsea is a Clinton. She bears the taint; and though not prosecutable in law, in custom and nature the taint cannot be ignored. All the great despotisms of the past — I'm not arguing for despotism as a principle, but they sure knew how to deal with potential trouble — recognized that the families of objectionable citizens were a continuing threat. In Stalin's penal code it was a crime to be the wife or child of an "enemy of the people". The Nazis used the same principle, which they called Sippenhaft, "clan liability". In Imperial China, enemies of the state were punished "to the ninth degree": that is, everyone in the offender's own generation would be killed, and everyone related via four generations up, to the great-great-grandparents, and four generations down, to the great-great-grandchildren, would also be killed. (This sounds complicated, but in practice what usually happened was that a battalion of soldiers was sent to the offender's home town, where they killed everyone they could find, on the principle neca eos omnes, deus suos agnoscet — "let God sort 'em out".)

4. Thanks. I never forgot that.
Derbyshire is a fascist puke.

And what would C-Span think provides "balance" to this kind of racist, ultimate slime?
