On the Reality of Race & the Abhorrence of Racism Part II: Human Biodiversity & Its Implications

Professor Brian Boutwell writes:

If you observe the residents of Japan and compare them to residents of the rural southern United States, you’ll note some differences. Some differences will be stark, others less so, yet they will not be isolated to religious and cultural practices. The differences that emerge will bleed into psychological and temperamental traits that also vary in noticeable ways across populations.

The reason for the existence of these differences, though, admits of no simple answer. Prevailing wisdom holds that the cultural and psychological differences that exist across human population groups were shaped largely by a confluence of history, sociological forces, and pure chance. This is likely true to some degree, but the prevailing wisdom — from my point of view — is incomplete. In Part I, we argued that human races exist, meaning that humans can be meaningfully classified into coherent groups based on genetic ancestry. If we’re going to take seriously the existence of meaningful racial variation we also have to at least consider that the genetic differences that exist across racial and ethnic groups also contribute to psychological and ultimately cultural differences across those same groups.

To suggest that races might possess slightly different temperamental, cognitive, and other psychological traits, and that some of these differences are partly genetic in origin, is to violate a powerful — perhaps the most powerful — academic taboo. The incendiary nature of the subject seems to flow largely from the fear that discussing biological group differences will foster racial prejudice among the general public. Indeed, people bent on quantifying human worth have erected racial hierarchies, propped them up with pseudo-scientific theories and folk understandings about group differences, and conscripted them into service towards reprehensible ends. History, in places, is a wasteland of tragedy when it comes to the treatment of minority individuals. Yet, the reprehensible treatment of minority groups currently, or in the past, does not constitute empirical evidence that race is a fiction, or that differences in the psychological constitutions across racial groups are purely environmental in origin.

COMMENTS AT STEVE SAILER:

* Race is the beginning of separation of species. This was the spark that kindled the idea of evolution in Darwin when he saw this. The idea is you take one species and divide it into different areas. The first difference that appears is color. If they stay separated long enough they become two species.

* What’s remarkable is that all those racial scientists from a hundred years ago; like Grant, Stoddard or Guenther, were basically right on the money, even without the benefit of modern genetic knowledge. It’s taken decades of incessant propaganda to prevent people from seeing what’s right in front of their eyes.

I focused on color because that seems to be the first marker. Maybe there are others. Color is what got Darwin thinking and I also noticed the same thing. Take a species lets say squirrels and separate it. Put one set into the USA and the other into the USSR. After some time one comes out grey and the other brown. Same with birds in England. There are lots of examples.

I sometimes feel like we’re just rediscovering “lost knowledge”, like Babylonian mathematics or Roman-style arch building or something.

It requires a strenuous effort to imagine the Parthenon or the cathedral of Notre Dame are just the same as one-storey mud huts and that identical worth-values can be assigned to their relative builders.

Actually, the current racial war that the Sandpeople are waging against us has its advantages too. Now we can see that treating them like civilised white Europeans doesn’t work. People are surely starting to piece together that culture is a function of biological inheritance. Every year that this nonsense continues, the more unpleasant the solution will be.

* I’m sure Darwin was not thinking of Germans and Ukranians.
His comments on Australian aborigines have become notorious but they are more relevant.
This is very much a live issue. The equalizers have mandated ‘closing the gap’, following an expose of brutal treatment of uncontrollable teenage brutes in the Northern Territory correctional system.
The indigene ‘leaders’ themselves are not too sure if they really want all the dirty laundry exposed by a Royal Commission. The white do-gooders are stunned at the rebuff. They thought they were doing the right thing. Anyhow, it’s all been resolved by putting a part aborigine judge onto the Commission.
Still, 65 IQ humanoids will run around with knives, clubs an

* “At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes, as Professor Schaaffhausen has remarked, will no doubt be exterminated. The break will then be rendered wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as at present between the negro or Australian and the gorilla.” (Darwin)

* The race narrative serves the globalist agenda, otherwise it would be a fringe view like creationism. Celebrating diversity means rejecting the idea that there is anything special about your own race or nation. Having given up the identity you were born with, you are ready to purchase your new identity as an iPhone user or a Pepsi drinker.

* Speaking of minorities who should be given special consideration and deserve protection, humans with blond hair number only 1 – 2 % of the world’s population while those having blue eyes constitute only 8% of the world’s population. By any objective standard, both are endangered.

Brown/blackies gloat and love to point out that inasmuch as both the above traits are recessive, then it is likely that they will ultimately disappear from the human gene pool. Of course, this isn’t deemed racist, it is simply realistic. By means of this sleight of hand they deny their implicit agency and so the race war continues apace.

Certain tribes of brown/blackies say this with a tone of vindictive glee, as though they will be perfectly happy to sacrifice the higher standard of living that the blond/blue Industrial/Scientific Revolution has wrought in exchange for a promised, largely-imaginary Age of Peace that will dawn just as soon as they get their mitts on the tiller. With little to offer but promises and, lacking fundamental navigational skills, it is unlikely that this will take place as envisioned.

* The problem of people applying different rules to humans than to the natural world would be easily solved if humanity could get over the delusion that we are somehow separate from the natural world. We are animals, in most ways quantitatively different from the rest of the animal kingdom, but not qualitatively. We are genetically similar, inhabit the same closed system, and have identical needs for survival. Religious people have a set of beliefs that include a divine spark (or whatever the terminology) that sets humans apart. I disagree, obviously, but at least devout Jews and Christians also adhere to other, societally beneficial, ideas that go along with that. Atheist liberals have taken the simplest and most reductive approach to removing God from the culture that is unavoidably ingrained in them — they think if they just take out the icky religious words it’ll all be fine. Sadly, “All men are created equal” doesn’t mean the same thing as “All men are equal.” Evolutionary theory is only valid if we are animals too. “Scientific” liberals really don’t want to admit this, they’re too bogged down in being Christian believers with only the blind faith and no Christianity.

Does Baltimore Suffer From Too Much Law Enforcement?

Comment at The Atlantic:

* I was riding in a truck through Northeast Baltimore, today. And saw dozens of young men openly selling drugs. And saw at least 5 different women selling themselves on the streets for drug money.

So I’m confused about this narrative of Baltimore being some sort of authoritarian society? What I see on a regular basis is cop cars driving right past drug dealers. 911 operators refusing to send police officers to scenes of crimes in progress. Even when 5 or 6 people on a block call to complain about a fight, or drug dealing. And I’ve personally seen young kids ride illegal motor bikes right in front of police. To the point that they popped wheelies about 20 inches from a cops face. And laughed at the cop while they taunted him with the wheelie

Pot is openly smoked in Baltimore. Many streets and local parks reek of pot smoke.

Young teens openly walk through alleys. Looking into each back yard. Looking for things to steal. Or walk up to each car on the street. Blatantly peering into he car or trying the lock.

I wish that Baltimore was as authoritarian as David Grahm claims. But the sad fact is that criminals in Baltimore are pretty much allowed to do whatever they want to. Up to, and including, burning down a CVS while the police are told to stay out of the way.

COMMENTS AT STEVE SAILER:

* Seen from another perspective, the Blacks in Baltimore will soon get the low-key policing they ask for, balanced with the cliche that you had better be careful about what you ask for because you might get it. The Black citizens of Baltimore will soon get the law and order they deserve. Predict that Baltimore will eventually become another African “bantustan” within the contiguous United States.

One might call all of this … BLM, anti-cop, low marriage rates, high out-of-wedlock pregnancy rates, mindless violence, pervasive drug addiction … a Back to Africa movement. Regardless of affirmative action, diversity, safe spaces, and reparations camouflaged as welfare can make Africans into Northern Europeans. The cultural and social (and perhaps genetic) divide between sub-Saharan Africans and especially Northern Europeans is simply too broad to bridge. It is a permanent condition.

The United States tried a 52-year long experiment in racial and cultural integration costing trillions of dollars. The experiment destroyed model school systems, neighborhoods, communities, and whole cities in a social experiment to change the culture of its citizens … by force. It displaced tens of millions of people as internal refugees as citizens lost the fundamental right of association. The program was perhaps modeled on the Reconstruction of the South after the Civil War, although this time it was imposed on the entire population. It failed.

* It’s been pointed out here many times that one of the most important determinants of a nation’s success is the median IQ…same thing with cities. For most of my adult life I lived in DC and spent a lot of time in Baltimore as well since I had many friends who moved there for cheaper housing. In short, the average black resident of either city is just not smart – I grew up in a large city that was 30% black and both of my parents are from large cities with large black populations and the blacks in all three places are just smarter than those in DC/Baltimore, which also means everyone gets along a lot better too.

I recall the Washington Post pointing out in an article on education that poor black kids in NYC are two grade levels ahead of comparable kids in DC – the piece looked for technocratic reasons why this might be the case, but the simple answer is that one city just has a more intelligent group than the other and no amount of educational “reform” is going to close what is essentially a built in gap. Some cities have an unusual amount of human detritus – the only answer is to try and make them someone else’s problem, which is what administrations in DC and Chicago have tried to do over the last 10-15 years, with some success.

* The criminal trials of the Baltimore cops ended in a debacle, making the (black) mayor and (black) prosecutor look silly. The whole White Cops Killing Blacks narrative is losing momentum as a result. What to do?
Have the politicized Justice Dep’t issue some fabricated report , finding that there are Other Bad Things going on, seize control of the Baltimore Police Dep’t , and move on to the next crisis.

* Let’s see – about ten weeks before a hotly contested general election, the highly politicized Obama Justice Department releases a report detailing widespread abuses and racism in the Baltimore police department. No surprises here – just what we should expect. Baltimore (about two-thirds black) has a black mayor, a black states attorney, a black majority city council and a police department that itself is half black. No wonder there’s such extensive racism. Oh, wait – the police commissioner is white. There, that proves it. I feel better now.

* …having to deal with the dregs of Baltimore society on a daily basis would turn just about anyone into a callous, brutal asshole, if you weren’t one in the first place. How could one even survive in that job without being kind of an overbearing dickhead? That’s why the problem is more or less unsolvable.

* Steve,

if you ever seen the documentary “12 O’Clock Boys” (about black, illegal dirt bike riders who take over Baltimore whenever they want), you know law and order doesn’t exist in 65 percent black Baltimore.

Trailer –> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOMQY6k16TU

Worse, the cops KNOW most of the bikes are stolen and do nothing about it, because they fear what would when the black community gets upset that their black sons lose the ability to ride around on stolen bikes unmolested…

http://stuffblackpeopledontlike.blogspot.com/2015/09/if-almost-all-of-dirt-bikes-in.html

From the above article (http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2015/08/09/police-in-riot-gear-attempt-to-clear-large-crowd-of-dirt-bikers-in-baltimore/):

“They impose a very immediate and extreme danger, to the community as they do not ordinarily follow traffic rules and regulations,” said Marc Partee, Commander North West District.

“This is not a sport, this is not fun, and it continues to drain my resources and the individuals that actually live in the community are not happy with it all,” Partee said.

According to authorities, a majority of these dirt bikes are stolen and encourage people to report them when spotted.

* Since Baltimore’s power structure is almost completely black, and the cops are ignoring crime, I predict the remaining whites and non-welfare blacks will move out of the city to avoid the rise in crime and the tax base will utterly collapse. At this point, Baltimore will turn into Detroit.

The only thing that might potentially bail the city out is its location on the Northeast population corridor, and the extreme high prices of real estate and cost of living in that region. A future Maryland governor may attempt a coup (ala Michigan’s governor) to undermine the city’s black political structure, ship out the poor blacks by refusing to give them new housing vouchers in the city, and in sum, attempt to gentrify the city. Baltimore’s location and housing prices are such that there’s too much potential money to be made by the elite white power structure to allow it to descend into black chaos. It’s not a bad commute from Washington. It could become one big bedroom community for whites and nice whitetopia. It’s located on the water and is well connected by highways. If you could get rid of all the blacks, Baltimore would be great place to live.

* On the subject of whether having more black police officers would be a solution, I recall an interview with Bob Teague, a black reporter who worked for NBC in New York in the 1980s, in which he said, “Blacks are more inclined to create police work than to perform it.”

* Everyone would love to believe that the black community is just filled with untapped potential, with Good Will Hunting type janitors who are secretly math geniuses. It just ain’t so. You could reform the schools (that’s been tried up the wazoo), reform the black community, reform the black family (all easier said than done in a free society), etc. and gentle giant D’Shavious and his girlfriend Jeantel will still have an 85 IQ and will still be best suited for life in an agrarian society and have no useful role to play in a post-industrial society, so they will be, one way or another, wards of the state for their entire life (or else they would literally starve). No matter what you do, you can’t make a housepet out of a hyena.

Yes, there is a smarter fraction in the black community (by smart I don’t mean Feynman smart, just above 100 IQ and capable of working in a modern society smart) of around 15 or 20% but these have moved out of the ghetto long ago so what is left behind is largely devoid of untapped potential.

* I remember DC trying to boost the number of black police officers a decade or so ago.

It didn’t turn out well.

* It’s time for a strategic retreat from blm cauldrons of criminality. Surrounding gated communities and livable suburbs should support a George Kennan inspired version of containment. Odd that such a dated cold war concept like that should now have internal domestic application.

* In a ghetto community, either the police are out there kicking ass and trying to keep some semblance of public order or else they are eating donuts and letting the feral wolves rule the streets. There is no in-between possible. It’s the same as places like Iraq and Egypt – either there is someone there to keep a lid on things or else people will run wild. There’s no internal superego in these places – if there is not some external force keeping them from taking your rims (or maybe even your life), they will take them in a second with no qualms. The idea that you can have a police force in those places that spends its time giving anti-drug lectures in schools (that seemed to be the main job of my local suburban police force) and stopping old white ladies and young black dudes in equal proportions, like some urban TSA, is laughable.

* And smack dab in the middle of this festering reservation: Johns Hopkins University, America’s premier medical college.

The history of prestigious academic institutions once located in white centers of influence and culture that now require their own police forces is an under-reported one.

* The quote pointing out the stench of pot smoke in Baltimore parks lets me bang another drum, for whatever purpose. Has anyone done research on to what degree marijuana usage permeates ghetto culture? In fact, many, if not all, of the blue on black non-compliance shootings seem to involve young guys cooked out of skull on pot, or worse. Yet it’s never noted at time, and if revealed in autopsy it seems as if by fiat it is not a big thing. Add marijuana usage to low IQ, bad decision making and no moral guidance, and you’ve got a young man who is looking to get tagged by a 9mm. Yet again, all these episodes are laid at the feet of the po-po (as the cops are called in Baltimore) and not depicted as the low-character stupidity they really represent, Kid, don’t want to get popped? Don’t go do crime while high. Don’t do ANYTHING while high. In fact, don’t get high at all. That’s only for ironic whites who can giggle, listen to old Garcia vinyl, then go to the Pancake House when it wears off.

* When you look at the agenda of the Black Lives Matter movement, it appears to be that of a lynch mob. If a white cop shoots a black, whatever the circumstances, even if the cop is completely exonerated, they want to lynch him. So to me, “BLM” stands for Black Lynch Mob.

* There may be kids who have potential in the ghetto, but is it really worth the time, effort, and resources spent to identify those “kids with potential” and then do everything we can to make sure they achieve that potential by showering them with affirmative action and letting all the other detritus run wild? We’re at the point we’re an old lady isn’t allowed to clutch her purse and cross the street when she sees “this youth with potential” because of the terrible psychological impact of this heinous microaggression on the poor “youth with potential.”

I say screw it. We all have obstacles to success in our lives. The obstacles to these “youth with potential” are primarily other blacks and the fact that they look like them. They can transcend those obstacles or they can not, but they aren’t being held back by any kind of institutional racism or anything silly like that. Best of luck to them, but I’m not interested in turning everything on its head to pick the grain from the feces. That’s an incredibly stupid thing to do. We should be maximizing the potential of our very best, not sifting through feces.

* “But who cares about the Black Lives Matter movement inspiring a 63% increase in murder victims? The problem with Baltimore, according to the Justice Department, is too much law and order.”

To make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs. Gotta agitate for those Hillary votes- otherwise we might get stuck with Trump and really have a tragedy if we couldn’t bring in more Democrat voters and pool boys for our Overlords.

* I seem to remember Atlantic magazine making a cameo in The Wire. Brother Mouzun – a legendary Nation of Islam hitman-for-hire from NYC – had a couple of lines about finding a copy of the Atlantic before he set to work icing and/or maiming a few baltimore drug dealers.

IIRC his gofer had to go a long way to find a copy of the Atlantic since they were in the hoods of baltimore.

So maybe the Atlantic is just playing to their drug-dealing, islamic, underworld killer-for-hire base with this article?

* There is something impressive about the big media’s ability to pick a patently false story (e.g., police racism in Baltimore, Haven Monahan) and then as the absurdity of it becomes more and more apparent, double-down and triple-down and dodecuple-down on the phony story.

As an aside, this Conor Friedersdorf is a bit of an interesting case. He’s occasionally presented as something of a house conservative by the organs who publish him, yet he’s never written anything conservative that I’ve ever noticed. His initiation into big journalism was as “underblogger” to notorious juicer sodomist Andrew Sullivan, which sounds dangerous as well as uncomfortable.

Trump Speaks About Immigration

Comment: Trump gave an excellent speech today in Fort Lauderdale.

Go to 2:41:50 and watch for 1 minute.

Trump criticized mass immigration into the United States. He displayed a chart showing the past increase in the immigrant population in the U.S. and the projected future increase through 2060.

Then the crowd chanted “Build that Wall!”

Trump’s response: “How stupid are we? How can we have leadership like this? Hopefully, it won’t happen much longer.”

* I LOVED the Trump charts!

It’s like the boss showing his boys some charts in a cut scene from Glengarry Glen Ross.

Maybe that’s why liberal voters are so crazy eff’ed up over him. They literally can’t function in a “Coffee is for Closers” world. It’s not really the enriching domain of feminist cat ladies.

Doing Business With Jews

A gentile friend of mine who does not tend to be anti-Jewish, tweets:

* Media playing Trump’s statement to literal truth vs their side using lies is the business MO of every Jew I’ve worked with

* The 2nd basic Jewish biz MO is to threaten “deal will not happen unless I get this special thing for me”. Call their bluff. Trust me.

* Third basic Jewish biz MO they pay for *everything* at strip clubs. Abstain. It’s just blackmail they use later for sweeter terms for deals.

These tactics are not uniquely Jewish. Indeed, most Jews in business don’t use them. But these are typical traits, in my experience, of people from the Middle East.

Jews don’t always do business like WASPs. Many Jews are more like other people of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern origin who often haggle and bluster and charm and berate and try any tactic (many of which are out of the comfort zone for WASPs who tend to be more reserved) to win.

Is Race A Valid Organizing Principle?

Chaim Amalek writes: “When a man attacks nationalism or race as an organizing concept among nations, I assume he hates the fact that Israel was founded as an ethnostate especially for Jews. In other words, I fear he may be a Jew-hater. Don’t hate Jews. Embrace race.”
