[Previously, see: “Wikipedia on Race: ‘World’s biggest encyclopedia’ serves up propaganda.”]
The following passage comes from the entry in Wikipedia, or as I call it, The Pretend Encyclopedia, on “Race and ethnicity in the United States Census.”
==Relation between ethnicity and race in census results==
The Census Bureau warns that data on race in United States Census 2000|2000 Census are not directly comparable to those collected in previous censuses. Many US residents consider race and ethnicity to be the same concept. American Anthropological Association. " A Brief History of the OMB Directive 15." 1997. May 18, 2007.
[N.S. How many is “many”? WP/TPC’s own guidelines prohibit such squishy language, but in practice, the rules never apply to lefties. If there is confusion about the simple distinction between “ethnicity” and “race,” the confusion owes much to generations of mischief by organized, Marxist anthropology professors and their comrades in other departments and outside of academia, which the editor who inserted the approving reference to the AAA somehow failed to note.]

In the United States Census 2000, respondents were tallied in each of the race groups they reported. Consequently, the total of each racial category exceeds the total population because some people reported more than one race.
According to James P. Allen and Eugene Turner from California State University, Northridge, by some calculations in the 2000 Census the largest part white bi-racial population is white/Native American and Alaskan Native, at 7,015,017, followed by white/black at 737,492, then white/Asian at 727,197, and finally white/Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander at 125,628.
The Census Bureau implemented a Census Quality Survey, gathering data from approximately 50,000 households in order to assess the reporting of race and Hispanic origin in the United States Census 2000 with the purpose [sic] creating a way to make comparisons between the United States Census 2000 with previous Census racial data.
In September 1997, during the process of revision of racial categories previously declared by OMB directive no. 15, the American Anthropological Association (AAA) recommended that OMB combine the "race" and "ethnicity" categories into one question to appear as "race/ethnicity" for the United States Census, 2000.
The Interagency Committee agrees, stating that "race" and "ethnicity" were not sufficiently defined and "that many respondents conceptualize 'race' and 'ethnicity' as one in the same {{sic}} [N.S. “{{sic}}” was in the Wikipedia text] underscor[ing] the need to consolidate these terms into one category, using a term that is more meaningful to the American people." [Read: “More meaningful to” Marxists and others waging race war on white Americans.]
The AAA also stated,
"The American Anthropological Association recommends the elimination of the term "race" [sic] from OMB Directive 15 during the planning for the 2010 Census. During the past 50 years, "race" has been scientifically proven to not be a real, natural phenomenon. More specific, social categories such as "ethnicity" [sic] or "ethnic group" [sic] are more salient for scientific purposes and have fewer of the negative, racist connotations for which the concept of race was developed."
"Yet the concept of race has become thoroughly—and perniciously—woven into the cultural and political fabric of the United States. [The concept of race is older than the United States.] It has become an essential element of both individual identity and government policy. Because so much harm has been based on "racial" [sic] distinctions over the years, correctives for such harm must also acknowledge the impact of "racial" [sic] consciousness among the U.S. populace, regardless of the fact that "race" [sic] has no scientific justification in human biology. Eventually, however, these classifications must be transcended and replaced by more non-racist and accurate ways of representing the diversity of the U.S. population." [N.S.: My use of “sic” in the previous two paragraphs is due to Wikipedia’s improper use of double quotes both to open and close quoted paragraphs, and for words within the paragraphs, which should receive single quotation marks.]
The recommendations of the AAA were not adopted by the Census Bureau for the United States Census 2000 or the United States Census 2010.
Race has never been “scientifically proven to not be a real, natural phenomenon.” Apparently, professors of anthropology understand under “scientifically proven,” endlessly repeating what they know to be a lie, and destroying the career of anyone who refuses to play along.
The myth that the races are identical in their abilities was spread by Franz Boas (1858-1942), a German Jewish immigrant, whose true faith was socialism. The reason Boas invented the myth was purely political, and anti-scientific. As Zygmund Dobbs showed in The Great Deceit: Social Pseudo-Sciences (1964), Boas was a fanatical socialist who had no training in anthropology, as opposed to physics and geography, and who undertook a deliberate political campaign to hijack anthropology, and turn it into a propagandistic tool of stealthy, organized socialism. Boas was hugely successful.
He and his comrades took over one anthropology department after another.
The anti-scientific origins of the ultimate “race does not exist” hoax were in Boas’ plan to impose socialism on America. He knew, as everyone did, that there were different races, which were distinguished by their respective inherited characteristics. However, the facts were inconvenient to Boas’ goal of imposing an ideology and state form that asserted that all men were the same and had identical abilities.
As he wrote, early on,
The anthropologist recognizes that the Negro and the white represent the two most divergent types of mankind,
And
It is true that the average size of the Negro brain is slightly smaller than the average size of the brain of the white race.
[Zygmund Dobbs, The Great Deceit: Social Pseudo-Sciences, 175.]
Boas and his devotees such as Ruth Benedict and Margaret Mead routed the empirical, scientific study of physical racial differences, and replaced it with “cultural environment theory”: All nurture, no nature. He also committed scientific fraud, in writing a “study” falsely claiming that the skulls of immigrants’ children grew larger, due to the environment in America.
Just as college departments of anthropology were reduced to socialist fronts providing propagandistic pseudo-science by Boas and his devotees (e.g., Margaret Mead and Coming of Age in Samoa, Ruth Benedict and Patterns of Culture, Boas’ works, etc.), Boas also helped socialist fronts outside of academia.
He was long involved with one such non-academic front, the NAACP. He sought to use this radical organization, in order to promote race mixing, blend the two races into one, and thereby eliminate the white and black races (in America, at any rate). To this end, he also spread lies touting great black African advances in antiquity.
As Dobbs wrote,
Boas busied himself with giving a professorial tone to the NAACP movement. The nation began to be bombarded by a barrage of so-called scientific opinion on the racial question. The major theme projected was that there are no fundamental differences among races. There was constant repetition that all mankind was cast from the same mold. Only some mysterious compound called the culture complex was said to create differences. For example, Boas would team up with Mary White Ovington in a book which emphasized that the only major differences between the white and Negro races are those of cultural environment. A whole bevy of transitory socialist fronts were created….
In the course of a few decades the well-organized Boas leftist anthropological phalanx had managed to cripple physical anthropology as a scientific discipline. This was done by degrees. The early works of Boas began with a mixture of the cultural approach with anthropometrical and biological data about the different races. Little by little, the physical aspects of anthropology were pushed into the background through ridicule [sound familiar?] and politically inspired charges. By the time Hitler rose to power, the socialists throughout the world, and the Boas group particularly, began to apply epithets of “racism” and “genocide” to those who endeavored to carry on scientific studies of the various races and sub-races of humankind. They were greatly helped by Hitler’s use of the racial theme to excuse his inhumanities.
The Nazi pre-occupation with the theory of Aryan “superiority” to justify their massacres of millions of innocent civilians was cited in literature, speeches, university lectures and newspapers, as the reason for damning all physical investigations into racial differences. [See the Left’s ongoing war on the Pioneer Fund and all whose research it has funded, including some of the world’s foremost scholars of intelligence, e.g., Richard Lynn, J. Philippe Rushton, and Linda Gottfredson.] By imperceptible degrees the Boas leftist school, which was made up of both socialist and communist partisans, began to create the impression that the Aryan “superiority” theory was a Fascistic abomination and invention.
[Dobbs, 175f.]
Dobbs the shows that it was the Left, above all Marx’ collaborator, friend, and benefactor, Friedrich Engels, that had embraced and promoted the Aryan myth generations before Hitler did.
Boas’ fraudulent assertion that the races were equal in abilities was designed to become self-fulfilling through socialist agitation and social policy. Today’s phony “anthropologists” and other leftist pseudo-scholars (e.g., the late Stephen Jay Gould) are consciously continuing Boas’ work, and have extended his fraudulent claim that the races are identical in abilities to the even more obviously fraudulent claim that there are no different races, and that race exists merely as a “social construct.” And yet, they demand in all areas of human activity that one non-existent race be privileged, and other non-existent races be harmed.
The leftists who control WP/TPC are likewise continuing such pernicious propaganda, with the goal of wiping out the white race. Note that they do not even feign impartiality by at least citing dissenting, more scientific voices, let alone permitting anyone to expose Boas’ deceit, which they covered up.
[I thank Joel Lefevre for providing me with the brilliant, fearless Dobbs’ research.]

WEBCommentary
As few as one-tenth of one percent of the people in this country may have heard of the Pearcy Massacre, and though more people have heard of the Knoxville Horror, that is no thanks to the leftwing censors at Wikipedia or, as I call it, The Pretend Encyclopedia. The Pretend Encyclopedia, a handy source for the hottest new hoaxes presented as facts, is dominated by censor/propagandists who are allergic to the truth. Especially certain truths.
On Wednesday night, VDARE editor-publisher Peter Brimelow published my second investigative report on the racist atrocity in Arkansas I have dubbed the Pearcy Massacre: “‘Don’t Raise Your Voice at Me!’ [Click!] ‘Read a Law Book!’ [Click!]—A Pearcy Massacre Update.”
The quotes in the title were responses I got earlier this month from some people in the Garland County, Arkansas, criminal justice establishment, when I asked for any information on the case. But as readers will learn, I did eventually find sources willing to answer at least some of my questions.
On November 12, 2009, 80-year-old Edward Earl Gentry Sr.; his 56-year-old son, Edward “Eddie” Gentry Jr.; Eddie’s 52-year-old wife, Pam; Eddie and Pam’s 24-year-old son, Jeremy; and Jeremy’s 19-year-old girlfriend, Kristen Warneke, were all robbed and murdered, execution-style, and all but Edward Earl Gentry Sr. were burned beyond recognition, and thus could only be identified via dental records.
The leftwing censors at Wikipedia, or as I call it, The Pretend Encylopedia, either ignored or suppressed all reference to my first report, “Never Heard of the Pearcy Massacre? One Guess Why Not!” (There are censors at The Pretend Encylopedia who delete almost all references to my work, have sent a biographical entry someone wrote about me down the memory hole, and have threatened editors with being banned, merely for citing my work.)
The reason Wikipedia, like the national MSM, has ignored the case is because the victims were all white, and the suspects were all black.
The Pretend Encylopedia’s censors constantly delete references to race in entries on black racial atrocities committed against whites, and remove pictures of the blacks who committed them, coming up with phony claims such as that the mug shots cannot be used, because they aren’t in the public domain. If a mug shot taken by a police photographer isn’t in the public domain, nothing is!
They have used such fraudulent rationalizations to censor photographs of the black racists who kidnapped, beat, tortured, gang-raped and murdered Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom in the January, 2007 crime I dubbed the Knoxville Horror, which I have been covering for three weeks shy of four years, while using pictures of the victims which are not in the public domain. Thus, they are violating their own rules, coming and going. But that’s the Wikipedia way: At “the encyclopedia anyone can edit,” Wikithugs snow editors they hate with a blizzard of “rules,” all of which the thugs violate with impunity.
And every time an editor linked to one of my articles, the Wikicensors (e.g., “FloNight”) killed the link and deleted the reference, even going to the extreme of blocking all access to the entry for days on end, while they carried out their nefarious handiwork.
The Wikicensor who, in June 2007, was the most aggressive in withholding the truth from readers, a Kentucky nurse named Sydney Poore, who censors under the handle “FloNight,” gave the most inadvertently comical rationalization for censoring the victims’ picture:
“Remove image as only used to decorate article not critical to content discussed so not valid fair use claim.”
“Only used to decorate article” about two young folks who were kidnapped, beaten, gang-raped, sexually tortured and murdered?
Far from limiting speculation and rumors about the case, which was yet another of Poore/FloNight’s tortured rationalizations, she and her fellow Wikicensors helped fuel the fire.
In the first months after murders, the Web was afire with rumors that the victims had been sexually mutilated: That the killers had lopped off the penis of the living Christopher Newsom, and at least one of the breasts of the living Channon Christian. In my first investigative report on the case—the first investigative report anyone wrote on it—for American Renaissance on May 14, 2007, “The Knoxville Horror: The Crime and the Cover-Up,” I had succeeded at tracing those rumors back to their source: New Jersey-based, white supremacist/neo-Nazi Internet radio host, Hal Turner, who had begun spreading the hoax on or about February 21, 2007, i.e., 44 days after the victims’ bodies had been found.
A staffer at the CNN show, Paula Zahn Now, was so impressed with my research that she used it without attribution. In a May 29, 2007 episode devoted to the Knoxville case, the show displayed a screen-capture shot of my first American Renaissance report, but without mentioning me by name. The only part of the broadcast that seemed “new” to the uninitiated was in its repeating, without attribution, my spade work in hunting down Turner’s hoax. Zahn’s people acted as if they had done the investigative work.
CNN “reporter” Rusty Dornin even plagiarized an error I had made in my May 14 article, in identifying Turner as living “in New York.” He lived in New Jersey at the time. I corrected that error in a revised, expanded version of the article that American Renaissance published in its July, 2007 issue.
See my report, “White Supremacy and Plagiarism at CNN,” in which I asked, If American Renaissance has a “white supremacist agenda[s],” what does that make a reporter who plagiarizes American Renaissance?
One month after the show stole my work, it was cancelled, anyway.
(On December 21, 2010, Hal Turner was sentenced to 33 months in federal prison for threatening violence against two Connecticut state legislators and three Chicago-based federal judges, respectively. He insisted that he had been part of a COINTELPRO-like program, in which he was a paid informer and agent provocateur, whose job it was to draw out violent white supremacist/neo-Nazi/whatevers, and had made the threats at the behest of his employer, the FBI.
According to the Associated Press, “At his trials the government confirmed that Turner did work for and with federal agencies, but that he went too far with his hate-filled remarks.” But since Turner was working the wrong side of the street, politically, the MSM has almost completely ignored the story.)
To return to Wikipedia, if Sydney Poore/FloNight had honestly wanted to dampen speculation, as she claimed, she would have left the references to my investigative work in the entry, and millions of readers who believed that Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom had been sexually mutilated, and were unaware of my work, would have learned the truth. Instead, Poore/FloNight’s political hatred for me aided and abetted the hoaxers, because no one learned from The Pretend Encyclopedia entry that the sexual mutilation story was a hoax. Millions of people still believe the hoax.
Over four years after the crimes, every now and then someone will still try and sneak the truth past the Wikicensors at the Knoxville Horror entry, but it never lasts. For instance, as recently as February 3, an anonymous editor added the essential adjective, “African American” to the entry’s second sentence, so that it read,
“They were both raped, tortured and murdered by three African American males and one female after being kidnapped early on the morning of January 7, 2007.”
The anonymous editor was not responsible for the now inaccurate time of the kidnapping, as it was already in the sentence. Knoxville authorities came to the conclusion over one year ago that the victims had been kidnapped in the evening of January 6, 2007, and that a call Channon Christian made home after midnight was after the gang had already kidnapped her and Christopher Newsom, and under their direction.
Well, the truth lasted exactly 70 minutes, before Wikicensor “Dougweller” removed it, giving the lie, “doesn't belong in lead, this was not a racial murder.”
The Wikicensors have done the same thing regarding the entries for the Wichita Massacre, and other black-on-white atrocities, and have likewise censored photographs and entire entries devoted to Crystal Gail Mangum, the racist black Duke Rape Hoaxer, but had no qualms about displaying photographs of Mangum’s three white victims for over one year.
After my second VDARE report on the Pearcy Massacre, I again checked The Pretend Encylopedia, to see if the censors had finally permitted someone to take note of the victims.
No such luck.
I checked under the names of all five of the victims, under “Pearcy, Arkansas,” under the name of the late murderer “Marvin Lamar Stringer,” and under the names of defendants “Jeremy Pickney” and “Samuel Lee Conway,” but came up with nothing. I guess the Pearcy Massacre is just a figment of my imagination.
To get a better feel for the dimensions of The Pretend Encylopedia’s deceptions and outright fraud regarding race, I recommend my 2008 American Renaissance exposé, “Wikipedia on Race: ‘World’s biggest encylopedia’ serves up propaganda.”
But it’s not just race. The Pretend Encylopedia is a veritable hoax machine.
Googling for this article under “Wikipedia” and “hoax” turned up 237,000 hits. Writers compete with lists of the most egregious Wikipedia hoaxes, which occur so frequently that a book recording them through 2010 would of necessity fill several thick volumes.
Pretend Encylopedia co-founder Jimmy “Jimbo” Wales, who has turned the Web site into a personality cult, and source for reportedly $75,000 a pop speaking fees (color me green!), recently managed to raise $16 million in record time for the site. If consumer fraud laws had any bite, he’d be in jail for claiming to be soliciting funds for an encyclopedia.
P.S. As of 11:49 a.m., on October 27, 2011, there is still no Wikipedia entry for the Pearcy Massacre.
Alleged murderer Chaudry Rashid. By Nicholas Stix

Revised at 11:37 p.m., on Sunday, March 27, 2011.
(For background, see:
“Wikipedia on Race: ‘World’s biggest encylopedia’ serves up propaganda”; and
“Wikipedia’s Censors are Hard at Work, Ensuring That Readers Do Not Learn about Crimes Committed by Members of ‘Protected Classes’ Against Members of ‘Non-Protected’ Classes.”)
Who is Chaudhry Rashid, and why should he matter to you?
As my VDARE editor-colleague James Fulford reports, Rashid is a Pakistani living in Georgia charged with having murdered his own daughter in an honor killing, two-and-a-half years ago.
But the censors at Wikipedia—you know, the cult co-founded by Jimmy Wales, who just raised $16 million in record time, under the fraudulent pretext that it was so that The Pretend Encyclopedia, as I call it, could keep readers better informed—are dedicated to keeping the public in the dark about this case, and millions of others that similarly show how multiculturalism is destroying America, according to plan.
Mr. Rashid is suspected of killing his daughter to preserve the family honor, an act not characteristic of actual "Georgia Men"--in the old stories about shotgun weddings, the shotgun was pointed at the prospective (if he knew what was good for him) son-in-law.
This custom has died out--who wants Levi Johnston for a son-in-law? But the custom of killing your daughter if she misbehaves is regrettably common among Pakistanis.
Police Say Georgia Man Killed Own Daughter to Protect Family Honor, July 08, 2008
I can't find much more about Rashid. I'll just point out that WikiPedia deleted the article on him. The reasons given were that it wasn't notable enough--because of the lack of mainstream media coverage. Also I'll note that other stories about Mr. Rashid called him Georgia Dad and Jonesboro Man.
[“‘Georgia Man’ 1, ‘Georgia Man’ 2, and Immigrant Familicide–Elvis Has Left Central America,” by James Fulford, VDARE, February 13, 2011.]
Update: At 11:29 p.m. on March 27, 2011, the Wikipedia/Pretend Encylcopedia entry, “Honor killing in the United States,” contained a 52-word reference to Rashid’s alleged murder of his daughter.
Sandeela Kanwal
In July 2008, New York Post writer John P. Avlon claimed that the murder of 25-year-old Sandeela Kanwal—allegedly by her father, Chaudhry Rashid—was an "American Honor Killing."[8] Rashid is said to have strangled Kanwal to death with a bungee cord after she tried to end her arranged marriage.
However, the Wikithugs have no intention of permitting a separate entry to be devoted to this murder, and the lessons it has regarding the perils of Moslem immigration.
By Nicholas Stix
You will not find any entries in Wikipedia for George Leroy Baker III. If you start an entry on him, the Wikicensors who seek to have it deleted will say something like, ‘Being the victim of a crime alone is not justification for having an article about someone.’ But what they’ll really mean is, ‘Being the victim of a crime alone is not justification for having an article about someone … white.’
Wikipedia, or as I call it, The Pretend Encyclopedia, has articles about people who are known only because they were the victim of a crime: James Byrd Jr., Kitty Genovese, Matthew Shepard, et al. It even has articles about people like Paula Cooper, whose only claim to fame is having murdered someone. It doesn’t have an article about Cooper’s victim, Ruth Pelke, because Mrs. Pelke was white, while Cooper is a racist black, who targeted Mrs. Pelke based on the color of her skin.
Likewise, George Leroy Baker III was a white, heterosexual male who was targeted based on the color of his skin, and stomped to death by three black teenagers in Lynchburg, Virginia, on September 5, 2010. That not only made his death “unnotable” to the Wikicensors, but indeed made it important to them not to record the death of this devoted father and grandfather.
George Baker’s only chance at meriting “notability” at TPE will be if Wikipedians take up the cause of one or more of his killers—i.e., to help them escape punishment—in which case they may mention the victim, within entries on his killers.
See my previous reports:
“In Lynchburg, Virginia, Still Another ‘Random’ Act”;
“George Leroy Baker III, Another of the Legion of Whites Who ‘Have No Memorial; Who are Perished, as Though They Had Never been; and are Become as Though They Had Never been Born’”; and
“Raceless, Nameless, 13-Year-Old Convicted of First-Degree Murder, in Racially Motivated Stomping Slaying of White 81-Year-Old, George Leroy Baker III.”

One or two mischief-makers have tampered with articles at The Pretend Encyclopedia, aka Wikipedia, regarding black racist Maurice Clemmons’ ambush massacre of four white police officers in Lakewood, Washington on November 29. (See my 2008 American Renaissance exposé, “Wikipedia on Race.”)
In the article, “Maurice Clemmons,” someone slipped in,
Prior to his alleged involvement in the shooting, Clemmons had at least five felony convictions in Arkansas and at least eight felony charges in Washington.[2]
Alleged involvement? Editors will tell you that saying “alleged” is an ethical obligation, but they act out of prudence, based on a healthy respect for the libel laws, such as they are.
If a man is falsely accused, and able to clear himself before the statute of limitations runs out for a civil suit, he can sue for defamation any media outlet that falsely accused him. That’s why, when media operations want to defame a man while protecting themselves from costly litigation, they use “anonymous sources,” often government officials who are themselves seeking to railroad the subject in question, say by poisoning the jury pool (see the Bernard Goetz and Steven Hatfill cases). But the protection of the media is so broad, due to the Supreme Court’s decision in the New York Times Co. v. Sullivan case, which said that a victim must prove “actual malice”:
Held: A State cannot under the First and Fourteenth Amendments award damages to a public official for defamatory falsehood relating to his official conduct unless he proves ‘actual malice’ - that the statement was made with knowledge of its falsity or with reckless disregard of whether it was true or false.
And the High Court made that standard almost impossible to satisfy, at least against Big Media, which can almost always get away with pleading “absence of malice.” (Although the Sullivan decision was limited to the press libeling or slandering public officials, somehow it was extended over the years, in practice, to other public figures, and then to private persons.)
But once a bad guy gets his, there’s no obligation, ethically, prudentially, or legally, to say that he “allegedly” committed a crime that a study of the facts says he did. Indeed, it would be both morally perverse and idiotic to refrain from stating the obvious.
Maurice Clemmons was identified by a coffee shop employee as the killer; identified by the weapon he left at the scene of the crime as the killer; identified by the Glock pistol that he had taken off of one of his victims, and possessed at the time that Seattle PD Officer Benjamin L. Kelly shot him dead, as the killer; identified by the blood that he left on the seat of the first getaway truck, registered to one of his businesses, as the killer; identified by his old cellmate, then-fugitive Darcus Allen, who has admitted driving Clemmons to the coffee shop, as the killer; identified by his friend, Quiana Maylea Williams (originally misidentified as his sister), who tended to his wound, and had a blood-stained carpet to show for it, as the killer; and finally, identified by the slug fired into his gut by heroic, dying Lakewood PD Officer Greg Richards, as the killer.
And in the article, “Lakewood, Washington,” either the same deceiver or an ally slipped in the second sentence in the following paragraph.
Officers killed in the line of duty
On November 29, 2009, four Lakewood Police Department officers were shot and killed. Police believe Maurice Clemmons[12] walked into the Parkland Forza Coffee shop at around 8:15 a.m. After approaching the counter, he turned and started shooting.[13] Dead at the scene were Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39, and officers Tina Griswold, 40, Ronald Owens, 37, and Greg Richards, 42. Each of them had served with the department since its inception.[14] Two baristas and several customers in the shop were not injured.[13] Clemmons was shot and killed by a Seattle police officer two days later.[15]
These are the only Lakewood Police Department officers who have died in the line of duty.[14]
“Police believe”?! Police know. As do we all.
The redefining of black criminals as only “allegedly” guilty is a black thing. Black racists increasingly refer to convicted black criminals as only “allegedly” guilty committed the crime for which they were convicted. That is because for black racists, no black can be guilty of committing a crime in Ameri-kkk-a. It’s just the white man’s allegations, and the white man’s laws, which most blacks refuse to recognize, no matter how heinous the criminal, and even when the victims are themselves black. This mentality is a pillar of what I call the paranoid, black supremacist, jailhouse philosophy of law. “Jailhouse,” because that’s where it began, only now most blacks at all levels, including the penthouse, have the mentality of a bunch of convicts.
Update: 10:36 a.m., on Monday, February 21, 2011. Both Pretend Encyclopedia entries still contain the racist mischief!

Any news about the proceedings against Clemmons' various helpers and his driver, Darcus Allen, who is being charged with murder? I couldn't find anything recent when I did a Google search.
I didn't see any news regarding the Pearcy Massacre in Arkansas either.

The most recent update I have on the "Clemmons 7," as the killer's friends and family who have confessed to helping him are called, is from June 10.

I seem to recall a time when confessing to crimes precluded the need for trials, but when blacks confess to crimes today, they virtually always then plead "not guilty," and usually recant their confessions.
"Pearcy Massacre," what Pearcy Massacre? Never happened.
At the time, I checked, and although Google News typically listed not only every VDARE front-pager, but blogs and even reader letters, it refused to list my article. Google News now has a "custom range" function to go back in time. It says there has been no news about any Pearcy Massacre at all this year.
So, it's simple. There was no Pearcy Massacre.

I just found some news from 2 days ago on the Lakewood Massacre. It's from the Tacoma paper, The News Tribune. Five of Clemmons helpers are supposed to go on trial next month.
All of them are pleading not guilty. The defense attorneys tried to get the cases severed, but (unlike the Knoxville Horror), they will be tried together.

Correction. The trial of Clemmons' helpers, as of now, is scheduled for October 28.
