Uncomfortable topics: Let's talk about race

[LMNO]

As per the tentative Aneristic Illustions agreement, I post this here:

Three noted white supremacy enthusiasts to host anti-diversity panel at conservative conference

The National Review's John Derbyshire, a stock "pervert Tory" character from a Martin Amis novel sprung to life and given a sinecure at the National Review, is hosting a panel on "multiculturalism" (boo hiss) featuring two of America's most detestable sacks of shit: Peter Brimelow, founder of white supremacist site VDARE, and Robert Vandervoort, the director of some sort of "don't make me press one for English" nativist group and a white nationalist from way back.

...the fact that these panelists are all well-compensated members in good standing of the conservative movement instead of shrieking their "defense of Western Civilization" nonsense for free from a bench outside a subway station does suggest that something has gone wrong with the American experiment.

Just found this:

A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face and arms began to swell.
(and Whitey's on the moon)
I can't pay no doctor bill.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
Ten years from now I'll be payin' still.
(while Whitey's on the moon)
The man jus' upped my rent las' night.
('cause Whitey's on the moon)
No hot water, no toilets, no lights.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
I wonder why he's uppi' me?
('cause Whitey's on the moon?)
I wuz already payin' 'im fifty a week.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Taxes takin' my whole damn check,
Junkies makin' me a nervous wreck,
The price of food is goin' up,
An' as if all that shit wuzn't enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face an' arm began to swell.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
Was all that money I made las' year
(for Whitey on the moon?)
How come there ain't no money here?
(Hmm! Whitey's on the moon)
Y'know I jus' 'bout had my fill
(of Whitey on the moon)
I think I'll sen' these doctor bills,
Airmail special
(to Whitey on the moon)

That would be Mr Gil Scott-Heron and Malcolm X.  I think we can have some fun with this in a modern context.

The UK has a very similar thing when it comes to Poles.  Most employers I have spoken to, especially in the services or manufacturing industry, prefer to hire Poles when possible, even if they are only going to be temporary staff, because they're generally see as having a superior work ethic and positive attitude when compared with English workers.

I can't say I'd disagree with that general outlook, either.

We had a lot of that here too, but what I saw in retail was "won't complain about illegal conditions" and "will leave with out a fuss when not wanted" as opposed to positive attitudes.

Both happen here, though i must admit that working with people who speak neither dutch or english is fucking frustrating no matter how hard they work.
Also, constantly being called 'kurva' by one specific smug looking pole is getting on my nerves. I know what it means, i just don't want to get blood on my fists today.
Hmmm, ok better idea: next time he starts cursing at me again i will fucking overpower him with creative cursewords. I will insult relatives/organs/friends/principles he didnt even know he had.

I think i will start off with calling him a cutesy little brony, just because he looks like manliness is important to him.

[East Coast Hustle]

Just start telling Polack jokes.

(I don't know if that's a "thing" in Belgium like it is in America, but if it isn't just take any Norwegian joke and replace "Norwegian/Norway" with "Polack/Poland")

For example: Why don't they have ice cubes in Poland? The girl with the recipe died.

If that doesn't work, just start asking him to "move over there, please" until he finally asks you why yo keep asking him to move. then tell him you need liebensraum.

what does "kurva" mean?  Google Translate won't tell me....

[Cain]

It varies with context, but generally means something like: slut, bitch, whore.

Also Faust, that is likely true for a number of industries.  Our town's major employer was, in that regard, actually rather good, as far as I could tell.  Everyone worked the same amount of time, same pay, same conditions etc.  Some of them also worked for Lidl though, a story with a much less happy ending (the company that labour law forgot is not a pleasant employer regardless of background).

Also ECH, I don't believe it is a thing over here, but it certainly shouldn't dissuade anyone from trying to make it a thing.

I think Hawkwind already have. I only got a quarter of the way through reading it, and this track started ringing in my head.
But instead of "Whitey's on the moon" it's "Uncle Sam's on Mars".

I read there's something boiling in Poland they don't like us very much, because, well mainly because of some shit Wilders said, but some other politicians also made faux-pas's. Except they never thought much of it because apparently they figured the Polish wouldn't hear them saying it, except they did

Remember that over-the-top-badwrong Wilders misquotes idea we had a few years back? We should get to that.

Some really horrible stuff has happened to Poland because of the en masse emigration for work. Ireland realised it's economy was going to develop and now Irish and UK developers own something like 30% of all houses on sale over there.
That artificially rose the prices of houses to nearly an Irish equivalent, but the income in poland is so much lower then here that Polands own people cannot afford to ever buy a house in their own country.
