Fight Racism: Lock Up Criminals, Even Black Ones
This is a cautionary tale for all Americans, both White and Black.
Last Sunday, a college couple, 22-year-old Adam Simjee and his 20-year-old girlfriend, Mikayla Paulus, were driving through Talladega National Forest when they were flagged down by a Black woman having car trouble. If I tell you the good Samaritans may have been National Review readers, you can probably guess that one of them ended up dead.
As they were trying to fix the car, the woman, Yasmine Hider, pointed a gun at them and demanded they walk into the woods and hand over their phones and wallets. At some point, Simjee pulled out his own gun and started firing at Hider, wounding her. She shot back, killing him.
The reason I suspect the couple were National Review readers is that the “good Samaritan” ruse was one of the bullet points in John Derbyshire’s famous “The Talk: Nonblack Version,” which got him fired from National Review in 2012 — standing athwart history and mewling, “Please like me, liberals.”
Derbyshire hadn’t even published the piece in NR.
He was responding to a spate of lachrymose accounts of Black parents describing “The Talk” they have to give their sons, instructing them to be super polite to police officers — smile and say, “Yes, sir” — lest the officer shoot them to death for no reason whatsoever. (Ask any police officer, and they will tell you black arrestees, to a man, are the politest people you will ever meet.)
In the piece, Derbyshire issued exhortations about treating Black people with “the same courtesies you would extend to a nonblack citizen,” but then listed “some unusual circumstances,” requiring extra vigilance due to “considerations of personal safety.”
The ”personal safety” rules concerned only complete strangers. His point was that when you have no other information to go on, you have to rely on statistics.
Derbyshire’s Rule 10 (h) was: “Do not act the Good Samaritan to blacks in apparent distress, e.g., on the highway.” He appended links to stories like the one that began this column.
Here are a few other examples from a general Nexis search for “good Samaritan w/s shoot! or kill! w/s car”:
— March 2021: “Boyfriend, 27, who ‘shot dead good Samaritan who stopped to help his girlfriend after her car broke down’ is indicted for murder”
— January 2020: “Motorist accused of fatally shooting good Samaritan after St. Paul crash is found incompetent to stand trial”
— August 2017: “Four strippers with broken down car fatally shoot good Samaritan in the back after he stopped to help them change a tire that HE paid for”
— August 2016: “Good Samaritan shot to death after helping teens pull SUV out of ditch”
Feel free to look them up, but I’ll save you the trouble and tell you: All the perps were Black. National Review: DO NOT WARN OUR READERS ABOUT THE “CAR TROUBLE” SCAM!
Derbyshire did warn his readers, so NR editor Rich Lowry dumped him, denouncing the piece as “nasty and indefensible.”
Not good enough! Slate magazine’s William Saletan thundered, complaining that Lowry had not attacked the “ugly,” “racist” column with sufficient ferocity. He, Saletan, would proceed to explain “what Derbyshire got wrong.” Whereupon he demonstrated that he has no idea what the words “statistical” or “averages” mean — much less the phrase “[when] you have nothing to guide you but knowledge of those mean differences.”
Thus, his central complaint was: “Derbyshire thinks his data warrant his conclusions. But all his data references include the crucial term ‘mean’ or ‘average.’ They don’t tell you about the person walking toward you. They tell you what you can assess about the probability of danger when the only information you have is color.”
Yes, exactly, you complete moron. That’s the point, subtly indicated by Derbyshire stating that he was referring only to those occasions when you don’t have any other information about a person. (Do Black parents giving “The Talk” remind their sons not to make assumptions about any particular cop walking toward them?)
Back in the halcyon days of Mayors Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg, we had one other fact to guide us: Criminals were in prison. Unfortunately for Black people, a small percentage of their community commit a boatload of crime. But as long as criminals went to prison, New Yorkers could pass Black men with little concern because if they were criminals, they’d most likely be locked up, not standing on a subway platform next to you.
Not anymore. Now, the criminals are out among us. There’s no possible way to evaluate a stranger, except the statistics. E.g.: Blacks, who make up about 20% of New York’s population, commit more than 70% of the shootings. In Los Angeles, Blacks are only 8% of the population, but commit nearly half of the murders.
Suddenly, New Yorkers, Los Angelinos and anyone else living under Democratic control are behaving like the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who once remarked that when he heard footsteps on the street behind him, he would, “look around and see it’s somebody white and feel relieved.” He made that statement in 1993 — the very year Giuliani was elected mayor, before proceeding to drive down crime rates and liberate Black people from dangerous neighborhoods, as well as from suspicious looks.
This is the cautionary note for Black people. The Democrats’ Free All Criminals policies have hurt Black people in myriad ways — mostly by getting thousands more of them robbed, assaulted and killed each year — but also in other, more subtle ways, like this.
As Senate candidate Blake Masters of Arizona said — and the media lied about — it is Blacks, frankly, who suffer the most when criminals aren’t locked up. And the Democrats don’t care.

A wider lesson exists here.
Do not not “stop” and heed the weaponized rhetoric of oppression
put into their heads and mouths by the J-Left since the 1960s.
Same (ret)con-job, same principle: Keep driving!
Living in south Minneapolis, I often walked in my neighborhood. That was until the summer of 2020. Because I don’t have a concealed carry permit, I began keeping another form of protection with me and never walked after 4 p.m. Approaching any black person was met with trepidation until he/she was well past me. There are plenty of platforms able to provide content showing the reality of the black on white crime occurring now. Due to the number of videos, I’ve seen, I wouldn’t stop to help anyone, particularly those of color. Today, all whites seem to be fair game for someone’s rage.

Matador Fartinez has finally struck the big blow and published a great anti-socialist/pro-capitalist manifesto. It will go down as his most significant official act in the course of history’s great shapers. https://martinezperspective.net/2022/08/24/weak-anti-capitalist-arguments-from-nazboltards/
Can’t have blacks and law and order at the same time is the moral of this story. Keep driving friends !
No good deed goes unpunished. Cliche but true.
Do-it-yourself in more and more areas is going to make a resurgence. Lawyers and judges, police, and homeland security including the Coast Guard consider the reputation and prejudice you’re receiving by the usual suspects’ coverage of your behavior is creating and don’t put up with it, much less contributing to it by failing to demonstrate good character.
Particularly good one by Ann Coulter. Mestizos I know and like don’t want more so-called illegal immigrants but they’re talking about Mestizos because people are getting tired of their littering, graffiti, and presence generally due to other less than endearing qualities. I like that those I know are interested in working, will show up, and behave themselves. Blacks had better face facts and police had better consider what the public thinks of them because currently their public is tolerating the good ones’ abuse for political gain. I have no use for a bad cop or a bad nigra, but both my father and I have had our lives saves by good ones.
FBI agents I’ve known, with one exception that I believe his boss would agree with me about, have been decent fellows that I’ve been glad to have around when I needed them. They’ve tended to be mostly White and bright. They tend to be more like those two famous ones who thought to get Tom Metzger to have something to say, a bit naïve but grasping the federal public relations aspect of their behavior and their visibility. If they didn’t get it before “Waco” then someone explained it to them. I don’t feel sorry for Donald Trump or his armchair counsel.
Police these days are, like Blacks: their own worst enemies particularly Black and brown police. And I’d submit the same advice to lawyers particularly those William Pierce reminds us of the crosses between lawyers and politicians– judges. The bright and experienced tend more toward prejudice than rolling the dice. Cops frequently aren’t the nicest bunch even if they perceive one as a brother officer. But most are okay. With notable exceptions, I’ve had at least neutral experiences with cops and judges but only if they were White. However, times are a changing and if I was still interacting with that segment of society, I’d pay particular attention to behaving myself because a lot of people are fed-up with a lot they perceive as prejudice and corruption generally, not unlike what I regard as the Wild West.
I live among urban “environmentalists”, if you ask them. Having raised livestock and a few chickens for my own table, I regard coyotes, wolves, and weasels (literally and figuratively) as varmints. As a kid, I’d shoot rats. When in the midwest, I didn’t “varmint” for sport but, when I shot a coyote in California who was jumping my fence and threatening my dogs, I shot the son-of-a-bitch, the coyote, and the “prepper” hasn’t looked me in the eye for 18 years failing to grasp necessity.
The other day at my preferred burger joint, I spoke to a couple at the next table. He had-on a tee shirt advertising a lumber yard and some of what a woman I know calls man glitter. I don’t even remember how it came up, but I submitted that America ought to bring back public hanging– that it would be good for the hospitality industry including the whole gallows-building– and might send a different signal than the federal government is sending.
GOOGLE-up a newspaper piece from 2014, if memory serves, “How the world deals with immigration.” It was as radical as American press still gets anymore. And members of groups, protected classes like seniors such as me or just those who intend to hold what they possess, should read it. The woman with that carpenter at IN-N-OUT said she was a retired schoolteacher, as was my wife’s both mother and grandmother in better times, but all agreed that schools, much less society aren’t going to improve until we again mete out accountability publicly.
When I was in public school, teachers tended to be more interested in smoking in the teachers’ lounge themselves but didn’t have to worry about being stabbed or worse if they went into the boys’ room to collar a smoker to suspend perchance to expel. And that was in a tobacco producing state.
Well, that little lady with her man said something like, see, he sounds like me. She’d been waxing eloquent on public executions. He argued for firing squads being more cost-effective. I maintain that it’s the entertainment perhaps testosterone-stimulating value but at the very least it separates the Journalists from the goyim that cover such events like that piece on that last official hanging near Louisville that my parents said local history said was easily at least 20 thousand. I’d like to see the coverage of the Leo Frank execution in the local papers because I’ll bet there was a better breed of cat using the newspapers in those days.
