But the Internet was the true fly in the ointment. The Internet and the cell phone, I should say. Today Web sites, some of them huge, regularly post stories and video of attacks on whites: the Drudge Report and World Net Daily News, for example. These have too much circulation to ignore. Further, stories that used to be covered only by local media that had no choice began to be picked up by the Web, and thus became national, e.g., the Wichita Massacre.

The upshot was that mention of racial problems became increasingly less taboo. Second-tier publications such as The American Conservative began publishing pieces on black crime. And there was that curious new world of Web pubs too intelligent and well written for the mainstream and utterly independent of the straitjackets muzzling the legacy media. The new kids on the block could talk about anything. And do. There is Taki’s Magazine, the American Spectator, or even, in a very minor way, Fred on Everything. Their readers were not great in number, but high in intelligence. This was, as we say in Pentagonese, a force multiplier.

Then came Ann Coulter’s book, Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama, about race hustlers and black crime (which I recommend without qualification: highly intelligent, well-researched, and blunt). The book, methinks, constitutes something of a watershed. So far as I know, it is the first time a major, respectable writer, not remotely of the fringe, has written a book saying, “€œOK, boys and girls, here is what is going on, here’s the scam, and here’s who is doing it.”€

In sum, as the major media incite an already angry black underclass, the Internet and, increasingly, the legacy media incite white anger by publicizing attacks. Does no one understand that this can have really, really ugly consequences?

My question is: What now? Television will continue to control the idiot demographic, but as more and more of the sentient realize what is happening and that they can talk about it, things will change. Just how, I don”€™t know. But we had better do some thinking. The racial divide is the worst danger this country has faced, or refused to face. If we don”€™t think of something to do about it, it’s going to wreck the joint, and nobody will like it.

I am now going to climb my mountain and await Hale-Bopp. Without surgery.
