Nothing Changes in Washington, D.C.

“Plus ça change, plus c’est la meme chose”–the more things change, the more they stay the same. Long before affirmative action and “diversity” mandates, the same sick, sordid slime controlled the District of Columbia, with the same sad results.

washThe following quotes are taken from a sensationalistic paperback exposé of the nation’s capital, Washington Confidential by Jack Lait and Lee Mortimer, published more than half a century ago (New York: Dell, 1951):

No Negro is ever fired from a government job if it can possibly be helped. When necessary to cut down a staff, the whites go first . . . .

If they can’t do their work, whites are hired to do it for them. An instance, typical of thousands, occurred in the Bureau of the Census, where five Negro women were so inefficient that their department head requested permission to discharge them. His immediate superior almost had a stroke . . . .

The upshot of the matter was that the section head was told to keep the five colored women and to hire five white girls to do the work over for them, on the night shift . . . . (pp. 41-42)

There is a daily [newspaper] in Washington (as there are others in principal cities) which never identifies a Negro as such unless he wins a Nobel prize or is selected the rookie of the year . . . . (p.46)

Of every four felonies and other breaches of the law [committed in the District] in the grades where a defendant has the right of trial by jury, more than three are committed by Negroes . . . .

Arrests for Part Two felonies (less serious) and important misdemeanors showed an even higher incidence of Negro crime.

Estimating the Negro population at 50 percent, this means half the people commit 85 percent of all the crimes . . . . (pp. 46-47)

We have indicated that many white women-especially government workers-are receptive to sexual attentions of Negro men. But the comparative ease with which a black man can get a white girl, even a so-called respectable one, does not seem to deter colored men from committing rape on women of their own race and whites . . . . (p. 53)

One of [organized crime's] favorite tactics is to buy in the open market enough stock of a company to create a nuisance value. They organize a minority stockholders’ committee and dig up proxies. They have no real intention of trying to get control, but some time before the stockholders’ meeting, they approach the management and offer to sell it at a premium, usually three or four times above the market listing. This is cold blackmail . . . . (p. 179)

Wives of high officials, members of Congress, and society dames . . . fork over sums to astrologers, palmists, psychics, clairvoyants, and other miracle mongers. Many government officials furtively consult fortune-fakers . . . . (p. 278).

Now how about some change we can believe in?
