They say any press is good press, so you know I was quite pleased when neophyte blogger Jamila made the following post about moi. She accuses me of being a liar and then proceeds to make her case:
“I’m not even opposed to those men in the game community playing a little fast and loose with the facts in order to make themselves look better, as long as they do not blatantly lie. Once you have told what is clearly a lie to someone in order to either have sex with that person or to slander a person, group, or movement that you don’t like you fall to the rank of ‘a little lower than dirt’ in my book. Luckily for Obsidian, he didn’t have too far to fall.”
Look who’s talkin’, LOL. I have an established track record for being above board in my positions and views with regard to Game; has Jamila even read The Mystery Method or The Game? Based on her recent comments, one would have to say, NOT…
Anyway, back to Ms. Jamila:
“1. After I explicitly said I am not obligated to defend the words of other people, Obsidian then asks me to…wait for it…defend the words of other people!”
O: That’s because I find that those who are into HBD tend to like to play fast and loose with REALITY. These are people who tend toward the Losertarian side of the ledger, who think they can divorce theory from result and practice. Often I ask questions over and over because, quite frankly, I want to cut through the Bullshit answers I get from such folk.
For example, recently I asked Jamila whether she supported increased racial profiling like Michael Levin does (more on this point in a bit). She says she doesn’t, but then that puts her at serious odds with her new master, since he clearly DOES feel that such a measure is not only warranted, but would in fact, be highly effective. Now, any reasonable person would have to ask – how can you support something that, were it up to your fellow travelers, would PUT YOUR OWN FAMILY AT RISK?
As you can see, to ask the question, is to answer it. Jamila either never thought it through, or she didn’t care. I don’t know which. But here’s the bottomline: were racial profiling implemented in the manner suggested by Levin and many other HBDers, Jamila’s own flesh and blood, yup, her brother, is at risk of winding up being a chalk outline, his civil liberties would be moot at best – this is the practical reality of HBD as Public Policy, and make no mistake, the HBDers DO indeed want to alter existing policy and/or implement new public policies rooted in the “science” of HBD. Hang on, I gots the proof…by Jamila’s own hand…
“2. The second biggest part of this problem is that Obsidian then maligns those other people by claiming them to say and believe things that they have not said. He makes the outlandish claim that “those who you are your fellow travelers, do indeed view HBD as a means to reinstitute “correctives” like Jim Crow, on the grounds that such measures were actually “better” for Blacks overall.”
What a complete crock.”
Uh, NO, it’s not. Please read the comments, where even OneSTDV’s cut buddy, The Undiscovered Jew, takes the boy to task. In fact, he, Too Tall Jones and I tried to talk sense into the boy, all to no avail. What are you gonna do – especially when the Dusky Hued Lass herself doesn’t seem to be all that bothered by the matter either. *shrugs*
Back to the Cognitive Gnome:
“Because Obsidian is known as a troll who enjoys spamming blogs that discuss human biodiversity it wasn’t hard for me to find posts where other hbd bloggers have already answered the questions that he poses ad infinitum. Said responses to Obsidian are always in a polite, clear, succinct way possible…and then a week or two later Obsidian reappears asking the same questions and making the same false claims.”
Note the dog whistle words, “troll” and “spamming” – translation: Obsidian actually engages these guys in real debate on that which they claim to be interested in, stumps the crap outta them, then they get mad. Happens all the time… 
But here’s the best part – after labelling me a “troll”, Ms. Jamila then GOES AND QUOTES A SELF-PROFESSED TROLL OF MORE THAN A DECADE LONG, ONE MS. “DANA”, TO DEBUNK ME:
(quoting Obsidian): What would such a world look like [if HBD was publicly accepted]? What public policies would be crafted with HBD at their core? Could anyone here, be it OneSTDV or anyone else, make a rough ten point plan outlining these measures? It’s just that they don’t catch serious flak for saying that they want a rollback on everything that made African Americans a real part of this country.
(Dana’s response): dana: just because i want to accurately describe the nature of blacks in the US doesn’t really mean i want to do anything about it or believe in a government strong enough to “do” anything about it. most HBDers are libertarians [OneSTDV: I'd say pseudo-libertarians] and don’t want to “do” anything but REPEAL unconstitutional and dysgenic policies–not enact positive active eugenic policies.
Stop right there – earlier Jamila says that I’m off the rails, right? Because, you know, I keep asking what the HBDers want to actually see done with their “evidence”, right?
Take a look at the following DIRECT QUOTE from Dana:
“REPEAL unconstitutional and dysgenic policies–not enact positive active eugenic policies.”
Repeal. You saw that word, right? Doesn’t “repeal” mean, like, you know, to CHANGE?
And uh, didn’t I express concerns about the HBDers wanting to in one way or another, using it to alter or otherwise CHANGE public policy?
Doesnt Michael Levin offer a listing of PUBLIC POLICY measures, based on HBD, in his book?!?
I rest my case.
But wait, there’s more! Jamila then quotes “Anonymous” and “Galton” from the same thread; here’s their laundry list of PUBLIC POLICY CHANGES they want to see happen, BASED ON HBD…
“-Scale back educational funding and profligate spending on “new and improved” reform. Reinstitute tracking and place emphasis (both practical and social) on vocational training.
-The end of the abusive and parasitic race hustle industry: Accept racial disparities as natural.
-End all unfunded entitlements, including section 8, affirmative action, and Medicaid.
-Dissolve Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
-Having a child without the means to support it is a felony or some other less stringent disincentive for fecund welfare recipients.
-Increase length of jail sentences for all violent offenders.
-Tell the truth about race differences in the mainstream media.
-Persistent felons would be deported.
-Only skilled immigration.
-Deport all illegals immediately.”
I mean, really. Talk about shooting fish in a barrel…
Finally, Little Miss Clever Silly delivers her coup de grace (whew):
“I don’t want to continue to throw peanuts to the peanut gallery or give the attention whores that which they seek; thus, I am also going to refrain from responding to Obsidian’s posts from this point forward unless he says something I deem worthwhile—which will only happen rarely at most.”
Attention whore, huh? Well, you know what they say - it takes one to know one.
In the comments thread below, I’ll offer more choice offerings that never made it to Jamila’s posting board; she’s known for not posting stuff she no like, and I am not the only one who says that, by the way.
Now adjourn your asses…
The Obsidian
