Neither would I. Actually I'm waiting to see NRO do more than the one post, but I'm betting it's coming. F'ing unbelievable! I like National Review, there's some very good conservative writers there. Derbyshire is an editor, though for how long is anyone's guess. He didn't publish this essay on National Review, gee wonder why? I've never been found of himself, he seems the privileged characterization of an elite Republican. He's a snob, though he can write:

The Talk: Nonblack Version

by John Derbyshire

There is much talk about “the talk.”

“Sean O’Reilly was 16 when his mother gave him the talk that most black parents give their teenage sons,” Denisa R. Superville of the Hackensack (NJ) Record tells us. Meanwhile, down in Atlanta: “Her sons were 12 and 8 when Marlyn Tillman realized it was time for her to have the talk,” Gracie Bonds Staples writes in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Leonard Greene talks about the talk in the New York Post. Someone bylined as KJ Dell’Antonia talks about the talk in The New York Times. Darryl Owens talks about the talk in the Orlando Sentinel.

Yes, talk about the talk is all over.

There is a talk that nonblack Americans have with their kids, too. My own kids, now 19 and 16, have had it in bits and pieces as subtopics have arisen. If I were to assemble it into a single talk, it would look something like the following.

Needless to say, no one at National Review shares Derb’s appalling view of what parents supposedly should tell their kids about blacks in this instantly notorious piece here.

Unlike so many on the left, *cough* such those defending/excusing NBC for altering tapes, then denying, then firing the producer without naming. Or those who pretend Obama didn't mean what he said, he meant something else regarding SCOTUS justices.

The right hasn't been quiet about what this man wrote:

I'm happy to say that Forbes and Red State have already called for his firing:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/joshbarr...hn-derbyshire/

On The Atlantic they are hoping for it:

Even Media Matters admits that the right have pounced right on this, including National Review editors and contributors:

That kinda exacerbates your own original point doesn't it, Annie? I think poet is a card carrying member of media matters. You need to get something for that cough. It's only mildly contagious anymore but it's your health I'm worrying about now, not anyone else's. :)

I'm thinking these couple posts flew right over your head. ;) You have to read them to comment successfully, at least usually.
 
Back to the topic now... It's an interesting topic and shouldn't be ignored due to that. She apologized, it's over.

It's an interesting topic? What is the topic anyway? IMHO, the topic is that a writer for a conservative source came out of the closet about his racism.
What is the topic in your view?

In my opinion, this whole thread should be stricken for spreading the sickening filth that I would have preffered to have never been exposed to.

so racism should not be discussed?

you don't have to click on threads and you don't have to come on this board. if you want to continue to live with your head up your ass, then stay off the internet.

the guy's comments are effing stupid.

Listen,....Hear that?.....Thats the sound of nobody caring wtf your opinion is,
 
I hoped and figured that NRO would throw Derbyshire over, they have. My point in my second post was that the right not only didn't ignore what the racist said, they condemned him for it. You will also note that Lowry makes it clear this is a long standing problem, mostly behind the scenes:

Parting Ways
By Rich Lowry
April 7, 2012 6:34 P.M.


Anyone who has read Derb in our pages knows he’s a deeply literate, funny, and incisive writer. I direct anyone who doubts his talents to his delightful first novel, “Seeing Calvin Coolidge in a Dream,” or any one of his “Straggler” columns in the books section of NR. Derb is also maddening, outrageous, cranky, and provocative. His latest provocation, in a webzine, lurches from the politically incorrect to the nasty and indefensible. We never would have published it, but the main reason that people noticed it is that it is by a National Review writer. Derb is effectively using our name to get more oxygen for views with which we’d never associate ourselves otherwise. So there has to be a parting of the ways. Derb has long danced around the line on these issues, but this column is so outlandish it constitutes a kind of letter of resignation. It’s a free country, and Derb can write whatever he wants, wherever he wants. Just not in the pages of NR or NRO, or as someone associated with NR any longer.

There is just too much history to ignore the racism, hatred, fears, anger and paranoia of the right in general. Any argument to the contrary causes the denial and projection illnesses of conservatives to illuminate themselves for what they truly are. Sick.
