The Tory imperial mindset and the road to immigration controls

E.J.B. Rose in 1969’s Colour and Citizenship

New Historical Express

Someone on twitter directed me to this review of Camilla Schofield’s new book Enoch Powell and the Making of Post-Colonial Britain by Vernon Bagdanor, which makes some quite contestable claims. The first is: 

According to Schofield, Powell sought to replace an empire based on white supremacy with an England based on white supremacy. She distorts, I think, the idea of empire. In practice, no doubt, the empire did often incarnate white supremacy. However, its ideology was opposed to racial domination. [my emphasis]

The second is:

By the 1950s, High Tories were using imperialist arguments to reject proposals to restrict non-white immigration. “It would be a tragedy,” declared the then colonial secretary, Alan Lennox-Boyd, in 1958, “to bring to an end the traditional right of unrestricted entry into the mother country of Her Majesty’s subjects and quite unthinkable to do so on grounds of colour.”

Powell, therefore, was being very un-Tory…

The Myth of Black Buying Power

If only

* myth (miTH) a widely held but false belief or idea

The Basics:

1. “Buying Power” is a marketing phrase that refers only to the “power” of consumers to purchase what are strictly available goods and as their own report admits has nothing to do with income or wealth which are the genuine markers of economic condition.  “Power” here has nothing to do with actual economic strength.  Nearly all reports/stories related to these numbers refer back to flawed, misleading and misinterpreted research from the Selig Center for Economic Growth at the Terry College of Business housed in the Bank of America Financial Center in Athens, GA.
2. The claim that African America has roughly $1 trillion in “buying power” is mythology, entirely contrived.  As explained in detail below, the number is fraudulent, itself derived from equally fraudulent surveys, absurdly interpreted sociological data and – at best – misinterpreted data regarding spending which…

THE REAL POWER BROKERS BEHIND BOTH PARTIES IN JAMAICA – NON-BLACK JAMAICANS, YET THEY SPEAK AND PLAN FOR US.

Ouch

Jamaica Peace Council

The Top Private Sector Bosses. Above are pictures of some of them.

Their kids never get shot.

They all live in the prime and expensive suburbs.

They travel abroad for medical treatment when they get sick

Some have bank accounts that are registered abroad and the income earned from some of their businesses does not come to Jamaica.

They are part of the less than 100 persons or entities that own Jamaica.

They all financially support both parties.

They are mostly hidden from the public, only showing up in the
financial gleaner when buying up properties.

Most of them are now buying up reggae assets and investing heavily in REIT (real estate) in Florida and the stock market.

They are efficient in evading and paying little or no taxes.

They are the ones who support and insist that the government stick with the IMF. We owe most of our debt…

On Talking to Racists

Yikes

The Grumpy Slave

“In revolutionary process, the desire for visibility is a teething disease and that massive crowds gathered to make demonstrations of insurrectionary yearning before white people make no sense. Quiet, selective, effective, efficient initiatives will do.”  – Amilcar Cabral

Months back, I was in a dialogue with a Suspected White Supremacist (SWS). Like the few exchanges I’ve had before, it consisted of buckets and buckets of words, deflections, denial, all leading nowhere. After seeing and listening to people like Tariq Nasheed and Gus T. Renegade verbally spar and question suspected racists, I felt compelled to do likewise but failed to get constructive results. I inquired to my Facebook circle as to how I can improve on these interactions, and in the comments on one post, a person had recommended a podcast I had heard before. It was the “On Talking to White People” episode of The Context of White Supremacy…

A Message to MGTOW

Lessons learnt

Think On These Things

“Oh, I have still not said my final word about women.” -Arthur Schopenhauer

If modern women were familiar with the philosopher, this pronouncement would make them shudder. In this day and age, however, nobody is familiar with him–even though he was the undisputed “original hipster.” Today you can pass for a misogynist just for saying “I disagree with the idea of patriarchy,” so I have often fantasized about introducing feminists to Schopenhauer just to acquaint them with the real deal. However, as far as this quote is concerned, it was given near the end of the philosopher’s life and he was speaking with a female friend, appending these words with kind ones towards her gender. It looks like the MGTOWs have found him, but in this case Schopenhauer’s actual life is more instructive than his famous—and likely peerless—polemic against women. It is tempting to indulge in some…
