Way back in 2001, good ol’ John “The Derb” Derbyshire wrote a column for National Review called “Hillary’s Style Crash.” That was back in the days before NR kicked Derb to the curb for writing his controversial piece for Taki’s Mag “The Talk: Nonblack Version,” in which Derb dropped some unpleasant nuggets of wisdom. That piece went up during the first round of the past decade’s worth of race riots, back before most of us realized it was mostly ginned up controversy.
Regardless, while I don’t agree with Derb’s race realism overall, he does offer up some remarkably insightful commentary. His weekly podcast is often the highlight of my Saturday mornings, and he comes across as an intellectually curious, gentle man who sincerely cares about his adopted country. His best commentary involves cultural matters, and that 2001 piece offers up a great insight: conservative girls are prettier, but progressive girls are easier.
