Inconvenient Fact 679: Black Lives Matter may still get Trump elected.....April hardest hit!


Per a post at Instapundit.

These are the types of things that will happen between now and the election that will have a major impact. When white motorists are pulled out of their cars and beaten because they are white there will be a reaction. It is not a reaction that will favor Hillary. That is for shit sure.

Inconvenient Truth Number 678: Are blacks worse than Atomic Bombs?


by Vox Day @ Vox Popoli August 14, 2016
I was drawn to look into this for myself after Snopes tried to dismiss a meme that was going around comparing Hiroshima to Detroit on the basis of some rather spurious grounds, so I thought I'd have a look at the evidence myself.
Now, some have argued that because Detroit's core downtown is still intact, this proves that the decay of the city surrounding it is irrelevant. But a city is more than its downtown, as the comparative population figures demonstrate the same contrast that the pictures do.

Detroit population 
1950: 1.8 million
2016: 680,000

Hiroshima population
1945: 260,000
2015: 1.2 million

Note that this is the most favorable possible comparison for Detroit, as the 1945 Hiroshima population is post-bombing and is based upon the smallest reported casualty count. Moreover, Detroit filed for bankruptcy in 2013, which was the largest municipal bankruptcy filing in US history.

The claim that the pictures are misleading is a dishonest and knowingly deceitful response. The fact that the downtown still exists merely indicates the destructive process is not yet entirely complete, as that downtown is now "a tiny urban island" in a grass-covered, depopulated sea.
