The Great Replacement Comes For Boalt Hall, Hastings School Of Law…And Anglo-America

Earlier: It Was Never Going To Stop With Confederate Statues...WASHINGTON POST Calls For Renaming George Washington University Because Of "Racism"

This is yet another tale about the Left's erasure of American history, akin to changing the name of Fort Bragg, or taking down statues of Thomas Jefferson and Robert E. Lee.

Once upon a time I dropped out of a law school in California (because I didn't like it). But I decided to stay in the state for a year or two longer, get California residency, and then apply to one of a couple University of California law schools where I believed I had special connections. One was Boalt Hall, the law school at Cal Berkeley. The other, across the Bay in San Francisco, was a smaller, older school called Hastings School of Law. An old friend of mine had just become director of admissions at one of these places, while the father of another friend was dean of the other school.

In the event, I never bothered to apply to either. Because I thought I'd make a lousy lawyer. But every once in a long while I'd check up on Boalt or Hastings—just to see how they were ranking, you know. And now I've discovered that Boalt Hall is no more! They pulled the signage off the school three years ago, and now the school goes by the nondescript moniker of "UC Berkeley School of Law," or some variant thereof.

The reason for the name change is that the school now has a lot of  "Asian" students, and old Mr. John Henry Boalt is partly blamed for the anti-Chinese immigration campaign back in the 1870s. Boalt once had the audacity to deliver a speech called "The Chinese Question" [PDF] a long-forgotten essay that he read out before the Berkeley Club in 1877. It was later read on the floor of the U.S. Senate, and is said to have contributed to passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act a few years later (1882).

Earlier: The Murder Of Mollie Tibbetts: A Perfect Storm

Forgiving murderers has become a public spectacle these days. But a peculiar dynamic is at play when the families of white victims swiftly or unconditionally forgive non-white murderers or other attackers. Indeed, Western whites now accept levels of criminality no other well-established people in the world would tolerate and would have been unthinkable in the U.S., for instance, just a half century ago. And Christian moral teaching aren’t the reasons. Rather, a kind of mind virus has infected brainwashed whites desperate to avoid placing blame where it belongs. The consequences are self-destructive and anarchic.

Consider the following cases:

  • After two black youths murdered 17-year-old Elijah DeWitt while he was on a date with his girlfriend, DeWitt’s father and girlfriend almost immediately forgave the killers, both speculating about their presumably poor “backgrounds”:

DeWitt’s father, as well as [girlfriend Bailey] Reidling, have expressed their desire to forgive the suspects.

“Just like his dad said, you don’t really know. You don’t know how those kids were raised — you know, what they were going through,” Reidling told Fox News Digital. “It’s not right. It never will be right. But you know…this is not the only crime, this is everywhere. And it’s horrible.”

Isn’t it great to have the media complaining about what a Republican is doing, instead of what he’s tweeting?

The New York Times recently did a major investigation into Gov. Ron DeSantis’ suspension last August of a Florida prosecutor for the flimsy reason that he’d publicly announced that he would not enforce state law on abortion.

The Florida legislature had just spent nearly two months banging out a compromise bill that allowed abortions up to 15 weeks—more liberal than most European countries—and included an exception for life of the mother. An abortionist would literally have to turn himself in to get prosecuted under this law.

What kind of showboating clown would sign a public “pledge” not to prosecute a case that had about a 1 in 10 billion chance of ever landing in his office?

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Florida state attorney Andrew H. Warren.

This wasn’t Warren’s first publicity stunt. Even a fawning profile on Warren in the Tampa Bay Times noted his penchant for going “out of his way to draw attention to himself,” setting him “apart from other elected prosecutors.”

During the pandemic, Warren held a press conference to announce that he was prosecuting a church pastor for violating the county’s stay-at-home order by holding services—a misdemeanor offense.

Days later, Gov. DeSantis issued an order expressly overriding the county’s shutdown rules—and Warren held a press conference to denounce the governor’s order. People will DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

The Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum is not actually a Museum yet. Set up by Congress in 2020, it is according to its website “at least 10 years” from having a building. In  Who Will Win In A Museum Fight: Women Or Latinxes? last year, Steve Sailer noted that a fight is going on about if the available prime location will instead go to the new National Museum of the American Latino.

However, the money is rolling in—$55 million so far from the usual type of donors. And last Monday March 13th we learned Nancy Yao Named First Director of the New Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum.

This appointment of course is a vicious insult to the probably thousands of better qualified white women, particularly of Founding Stock origin, who might reasonably expect to head this major institution which if it has any integrity at all, has to be primarily about  the activities of their ancestors.  Indeed, it raises serious doubts about what is intended.

In her thanks quoted in the announcement above, Nancy Yao said she was

Earlier: Denmark Produces Immigration Patriot Leftist (!) Female (!!) Prime Minister. What Can U.S. Learn?

Being mugged in broad daylight is something you must worry about in “diverse” areas of U.S. cities, “diverse” being Leftist code for massively non-white. In December last year, a gun-wielding young black man mugged and robbed an elderly white woman at 11.20 a.m. “in one of the city’s most upscale neighborhoods,” as a Fox News anchor called Chicago’s Lakeview. He snatched her purse before driving off [Brazen daylight robbery of elderly Chicago woman at gunpoint caught on camera, by Pilar Arias, December 15, 2022]. However, being robbed in the middle of the day is not something you expect to worry about in Northern Finland. Or at least it wasn’t until the Ruling Class began importing “refugees” from Africa and the Middle East.

Oulu, population 200,000 and the largest city in northern Finland, has undergone quite a process of enrichment over the last 20 years.

As I’ve reported before, in 2005—shortly after the city first accepted “refugees”—these “asylum-seeking” young men cut off a woman’s clitoris with a pair of scissors and jammed them into her vagina. Through the next few years, Middle Eastern “refugees” raped and gang-raped local women in city-center parks. In 2018, the city made international headlines when news emerged that Muslim grooming gangs—Middle Eastern “refugees,” again—groomed and raped local girls aged between 10 and 14, one of whom had committed suicide.

Earlier: Abbott Goes There: Declares Invasion At Border Under U.S., Texas Constitution and States Are Leading The Way Against The Biden Regime Zerg Rush

Texas appears to be ready to fight Traitor Joe Biden’s Great Replacement invasion. Lone Star Republican lawmakers have drafted legislation that would create the state’s own border patrol and make illegally re-entering into the country a felony. Also, Florida is pursuing its own hard-nosed legislative package. President Biden is pretending to present a tougher stance on immigration, but border state Republicans know he can’t be trusted. It’s up to the states to do something about the invasion that Biden has openly supported.

This, of course, isn’t the first time a state has taken immigration law enforcement in its own hands. Arizona famously did so with SB 1070 back in 2010. The measure allowed state and local police to check the immigration status of motorists that they suspected of being illegals. It made it a misdemeanor for “migrants” not to carry required documents and criminalized aiding illegal aliens in defying the law—which is already a federal crime, by the way. The U.S. Supreme Court later neutered the law, and more restrictions were placed on local police who tried to help enforce immigration law.

That was then; this is now. SCOTUS is less liberal, and what was a crisis then is now an invasion, aided and abetted by the Biden Regime. The time is ripe for states to take the law into their own hands.

Texas’ proposal to enforce immigration law is more audacious than Arizona’s. One Texas House bill
