Washington Post: ‘Black families fight entrenched prejudices to get fair discipline for their children in schools’

Black kids are more rambunctious than white kids who are in turn more rambunctious than oriental kids.

Blacks tend to take more risks in life than do whites who in turn take more risks than do Orientals. Ergo, Orientals are the least likely group to be victimized by violent crime, followed by whites, then latinos and then blacks. Orientals have the best credit scores, best academic scores, best incomes, followed by whites and then by latinos and blacks.

I suspect that these trends hold the world over.

Black kids physically mature quicker than any other race. They can hold their head up sooner after birth, they can walk before white kids can, they have their periods earlier, they engage in sex earlier, they’re more likely to give birth to twins, and they have shorter life spans than other races.

Blacks engage in more pathologic behavior than do whites who engage in more pathologic behavior than orientals.

These are the facts of life but they are apparently unknown to the Washington Post.

White kids are more likely to get suspended from school than are oriental kids. That’s not because of racism. That’s because of genetics.

Black kids are more likely to play football than oriental kids. That’s because of genes. Their bodies are shaped differently (orientals have bigger brains than whites and consequently have wider hips and run more slowly on average). Blacks tend to have more muscular definition than do whites who have more than do orientals.

Steve Sailer writes: “So no matter what the President might say about black youths ought to behave better, his followers know in their bones that the real problem is discrimination against black youths.”

Any white or asian parent with a modicum of common sense knows you don’t want to send your kids to a school with a lot of black kids (just as whites and asians rarely choose to live in neighborhoods with a black or latino population over 20%).

People don’t assimilate except in the most superficial of ways such as language. Oriental kids who move to Australia or America develop academic, professional and social lives similar to what they would have led in their home countries. Same thing holds for blacks and mestizo Indians etc.

J. Philippe Rushton wrote in his book Race, Evolution & Behavior:

Black babies mature more quickly than White babies, while Oriental babies mature more slowly. African babies in a sitting position are more able to keep their heads up and backs straight from the start. White babies often need six to eight weeks to do these things (see Chart 3). It is unlikely that social
factors could produce these differences. A basic law of biology shows that longer infancy is related to greater brain growth.

These differences in growth rate mean that races tend to differ in the age when they reach milestones such as the end of infancy, the start of puberty, adulthood, and old age. The races also differ in crime rates, parenting style, and even population growth.

Black babies spend the least time in the womb. In America, 51% of Black children have been born by week 39 of pregnancy compared with 33% of White children. In Europe, Black babies of even
professional mothers are born earlier than White babies.

These Black babies are not born premature. They are born sooner, but biologically they are more mature. The length of pregnancy depends on the genes.

Jared Taylor writes:

Different species have evolved different approaches to propagation. At one extreme is the r-strategy, by which an organism produces a very large number of offspring, but gives them little or no care. The oyster is a good example. Every year it releases millions of eggs into the ocean and leaves them to the mercies of weather and predators. Almost all of them die, but a few survive.

r organisms must mature quickly because they get no help from their parents. The ones that survive repeat the cycle by producing huge numbers of eggs, only a few of which will live. The symbol r stands for the maximum rate of increase in a population, and when the conditions for reproduction are good, an r-strategist can increase its numbers at a terrific rate.

At the other extreme is the K-strategy, which is used by more advanced animals, including man. The number of offspring is much smaller, but great effort is taken to give each one a good chance of survival. K- and r-strategists consequently are very different both in biology and in what Prof. Rushton calls life histories.

K-strategists live longer, have larger brains, and take longer to reach sexual maturity. Unlike the simpler r-strategists, they tend to have some kind of social organization. Besides the care they give their young, adults may share food, cooperate in the hunt, and fight predators together. The K-symbol stands for the carrying capacity of the breeding area, and represents the production of small numbers of offspring that are carefully nurtured for a particular environment.

All humans follow an extreme K-strategy. They have few young, who take years to mature and require a great deal of care. They have large brains and complex societies based on cooperation. However, human races are not identical. The chart on page 3 shows that Asians consistently show more K behavior than whites, who in turn show more than blacks. There is virtually no departure from this pattern.

Maturation and Reproduction

In almost every respect, racial differences in the physiology of reproduction show an r-K pattern that runs from blacks to whites to Asians. Fraternal twinning, for example, which happens when a mother releases more than one egg during ovulation, is clearly an r-strategy of producing more and smaller young, who are more likely to be miscarried, be born underweight, die in infancy, and receive less parental care.

Fraternal twinning is twice as common among blacks as among whites, and twice as common among whites as among Asians. Triplets are ten times more common among whites than among Asians and 17 times more common among Africans than among whites. In some African populations, multiple births account for 60 out of every 1000. In Japan, where twins are very rare, they are viewed suspiciously as the products of a “litter,” more akin to dogs than to humans.

Offspring of the different races gestate and mature according to different r-K strategies. Blacks are born earlier and smaller than whites, but are stronger and better coordinated. They can sit up and roll over sooner than whites, who can do so sooner than Asians. On average, blacks walk at age 11 months, whites at 12 months, and Asians at 13 months.

Although it is a specialized measure of development, permanent tooth eruption occurs sooner in Africans than in Europeans, and later in Asians. Among primates in general, there is near-perfect correlation between lateness of permanent tooth eruption and such things as length of life, brain size, years to maturity, and complexity of social organization…

Asians are more restrained, cooperative, and less aggressive than whites; whites are more restrained and less aggressive than blacks. These rankings are the same, whether subjects are assessed by personality tests or by their peers. From an early age, blacks are more impulsive and dominant than whites, and males boast and swagger more. Asians are least dominant and impulsive.

William Shockley wrote: “Nature has color-coded groups of individuals so that statistically reliable predictions of their adaptability to intellectually rewarding and effective lives can easily be made and profitably be used by the pragmatic man-in-the-street.”

Former teacher Eric Gustafson wrote:

Once when I was in high school, I annoyed my conservative parents by asking a cute Hispanic girl to a dance. I knew this would bother them, but I never understood why. They had occasionally given me vague hints to find a mate of my own race so as to “keep my heritage white.” However, they failed to explain exactly what that meant, or why it was important. Perhaps they took too much for granted. They had spent most of their lives in white towns and I also grew up mostly among white people.

In my younger days, my libertarian views clouded my understanding of race, which I thought was a corrupt, collectivist concept. To add to the confusion, my mainstream, 1980s Christian upbringing had taught me always to look past the surface and into the heart–a teaching I interpreted too broadly. I had a self-righteous moral universalism that was sometimes openly hostile to the values of my own parents. In my arrogance, I saw my elders much the way Michelle Obama sees older white people: as misinformed throwbacks who needed to be enlightened by young people.

Report:

In their wide-ranging book, Crime and Human Nature, James Wilson and Richard Herrnstein point out that criminals are almost always more impulsive than non-criminals. They cannot put off the satisfaction of their desires, even if immediate satisfaction means smashing and grabbing. Other researchers, whose work has been exhaustively summarized by J. Philippe Rushton of the University of Western Ontario, have found that blacks are more impulsive in this sense than whites, who are in turn more impulsive than Asians.

If it is true that blacks favor immediate impulse over long-range goals and if they are less able to sacrifice today for rewards tomorrow, it would help explain not just high rates of criminality but the chaos and lack of development that characterize all black societies. It takes foresight and self-control to work at a boring job rather than rob a liquor store, or to invest money rather than spend it, or to do homework rather than watch television. Any group that cannot defer satisfaction will not progress very far…

Albert Schweitzer, who devoted his life to ease the sufferings of Africans concluded at the end of his career: “They [Africans] have neither the intellectual, mental or emotional abilities to equate or to share equally with white men in any of the functions of our civilization.”

Nationalism & Genocide

Am I right that an implicit part of being a nationalist is the willing to commit genocide, if that is necessary, to protect your people?

Israel is fighting with Hamas in Gaza and hundreds of Palestinians are dead. Israel is tired of Hamas sending rockets into its territory and it is fighting back for its life. Hamas is fighting for its life. Will this conflict ever end? I don’t expect it to until there is one dominant victor.

Would most Israelis prefer that Palestinians disappear? I bet so. I don’t think most Israelis would want Israel to wipe out millions of Palestinians but if it came to a choice between that or be wiped out themselves, then what?

Land and other resources are finite and groups will always fight over such things and one group will always win in the end and other groups will be defeated and often destroyed. Being nice and moral may not have much effect in such struggles.

It seems that Israel’s enemies would have few compunctions about wiping out the Jewish state and most of its inhabitants. So we have a fight to the death going on.

Report: “The Times of Israel, an online news site, quickly took down Friday a blog post titled “When Genocide is Permissible,” in which writer Yochanan Gordon suggested that killing all Palestinians is justifiable. The post sparked immediate outrage on social media, where it trended on Twitter.”

Here’s the deleted post: Judging by the numbers of casualties on both sides in this almost one-month old war one would be led to the conclusion that Israel has resorted to disproportionate means in fighting a far less- capable enemy. That is as far as what meets the eye. But, it’s now obvious that the US and the UN are completely out of touch with the nature of this foe and are therefore not qualified to dictate or enforce the rules of this war – because when it comes to terror there is much more than meets the eye.
I wasn’t aware of this, but it seems that the nature of warfare has undergone a major shift over the years. Where wars were usually waged to defeat the opposing side, today it seems – and judging by the number of foul calls it would indicate – that today’s wars are fought to a draw. I mean, whoever heard of a timeout in war? An NBA Basketball game allows six timeouts for each team during the course of a game, but last I checked this is a war! We are at war with an enemy whose charter calls for the annihilation of our people. Nothing, then, can be considered disproportionate when we are fighting for our very right to live.
The sad reality is that Israel gets it, but its hands are being tied by world leaders who over the past six years have insisted they are such good friends with the Jewish state, that they know more regarding its interests than even they do. But there’s going to have to come a time where Israel feels threatened enough where it has no other choice but to defy international warnings – because this is life or death.
Most of the reports coming from Gazan officials and leaders since the start of this operation have been either largely exaggerated or patently false. The truth is, it’s not their fault, falsehood and deceit is part of the very fabric of who they are and that will never change. Still however, despite their propensity to lie, when your enemy tells you that they are bent on your destruction you believe them. Similarly, when Khaled Meshal declares that no physical damage to Gaza will dampen their morale or weaken their resolve – they have to be believed. Our sage Gedalia the son of Achikam was given intelligence that Yishmael Ben Nesanyah was plotting to kill him. However, in his piety or rather naiveté Gedalia dismissed the report as a random act of gossip and paid no attention to it. To this day, the day following Rosh Hashana is commemorated as a fast day in the memory of Gedalia who was killed in cold blood on the second day of Rosh Hashana during the meal. They say the definition of insanity is repeating the same mistakes over and over. History is there to teach us lessons and the lesson here is that when your enemy swears to destroy you – you take him seriously.
Hamas has stated forthrightly that it idealizes death as much as Israel celebrates life. What other way then is there to deal with an enemy of this nature other than obliterate them completely?
News anchors such as those from CNN, BBC and Al-Jazeera have not missed an opportunity to point out the majority of innocent civilians who have lost their lives as a result of this war. But anyone who lives with rocket launchers installed or terror tunnels burrowed in or around the vicinity of their home cannot be considered an innocent civilian. If you’ll counter, that Hamas has been seen abusing civilians who have attempted to leave their homes in response to Israeli warnings to leave – well then, your beginning to come to terms with the nature of this enemy which should automatically cause the rules of standard warfare to be suspended.
Everyone agrees that Israel has the right to defend itself as well as the right to exercise that right. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has declared it, Obama and Kerry have clearly stated that no one could be expected to sit idle as thousands of rockets rain down on the heads of its citizens, placing them in clear and present danger. It seems then that the only point of contention is regarding the measure of punishment meted out in this situation.
I will conclude with a question for all the humanitarians out there. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu clearly stated at the outset of this incursion that his objective is to restore a sustainable quiet for the citizens of Israel. We have already established that it is the responsibility of every government to ensure the safety and security of its people. If political leaders and military experts determine that the only way to achieve its goal of sustaining quiet is through genocide is it then permissible to achieve those responsible goals?

When Will Iraqi Blacks Receive Justice?

Why does every society shunt blacks into menial jobs or affirmative action cushy jobs?

From the NYT: BAGHDAD — Jalal Dhiyab Thijeel was tall, funny and handsome, qualities that should have made him a popular man in Basra, Iraq, where he lived. But he was also black, one of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who have been pushed to the margins of society based on their skin color….

But as in America, abolition did not mean an end to discrimination. While a number of laws promise equality, anti-black racism in Iraq pervades everything from housing to jobs to cultural life. Blacks in Iraq are routinely called “abd,” meaning “slave.” They mostly hold menial or low-level jobs.

How Men & Women Experience Happiness Differently

Relationship expert Alison Armstrong tells Dennis Prager July 18: “The physical expression of happiness is really different between a man and a woman… When a man experiences happiness, his neck, chest and shoulders puff up. There’s this surge. He looks bigger and stronger. Men experience happiness and power together. I can do it! When it is a big moment of happy, it goes down their arms and out their hands… It is the opposite of crestfallen. It looks like somebody ran over his chest with a truck and he caves in, his chest and shoulders fold in, and he becomes shorter. That’s what happens when a man is emasculated. When he’s happy, he has this surge of power that has him stand up straighter, not as an artifice, but naturally, and everything about him gets bigger.”

“When a woman experiences happiness, it’s a feeling in the middle of her chest. It’s like an electrical shock. You feel filled up with energy. It will make her cheeks radiant. Her eyes will sparkle. Her skin changes. The energy comes off her skin and if a man touches her, he will be recharged. There’s a wiggle or a dance or a tight contained squeal (for her). The energy goes into her head and changes her attitude on life. We get smarter and more creative. We think faster. We can let go of almost anything. It creates a temporary immunity.”

“Most women are terrified of men having power. When a man is happy, a woman will emasculate him. We’re afraid of that surge of power and what you will do with it. We don’t understand that you will use that surge to protect and provide for us.”

Why Do Americans Stink At Math?

That’s the headline for this New York Times Magazine story, which fails to break down America’s math scores on racial grounds. When you do that, you see that Japanese-Americans do about as well at math as the Japanese and America’s other racial groups do the same or better as members of their race around the world.

There’s nothing unique about America’s race problems or education problems. America’s so-called race problem simply reflects the varying average performance of the races all around the world where Orientals (North-East Asians) do best on average IQ scores, educational attainment, income, credit scores, life expectancies, and staying out of crime. Whites don’t do quite as well as Orientals, but they do better than latinos who do better than blacks. Nowhere in the world is this order reversed.

Steve Sailer writes: Sure, the Japanese average higher math scores than Americans on the PISA test. But when you think about the Great Unthinkable, race, recent Japanese math performance doesn’t look too edifying. Here is the top of the 2012 PISA results in Math:

Shanghai-China 613
Singapore 573
Hong Kong-China 561
Chinese Taipei 560
Korea, Republic of 554
Asian-Americans 549
Macao-China 538
Japan 536

So, in the latest international math test, the Japanese do worse than Asian-Americans and worse than other Northeast Asian cultures, even perpetual slacker Macao.

Also, why is the Japanese afterschool math teaching business of Kumon, the essence of Drill and Kill, the most successful export of Japanese educational culture? A commenter points out that from a truth-in-advertising perspective, it’s admirable that Kumon’s logo features an unhappy child.

Slate: Los Angeles Native Who Joined IDF After Birthright Israel Trip Killed in Gaza

Slate reports: The Associated Press reports this morning on the story of two Americans, 24-year-old Max Steinberg of California and 21-year-old Nissim Sean Carmeli of Texas, who were killed on Sunday in Gaza while fighting with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Carmeli had lived in Israel for four years and had reportedly finished high school there before joining the military. Steinberg, a 2008 graduate of El Camino Real High School in Woodland Hills, California (just down the road from the celebrity hotspot Calabasas), had never been to the country before 2012. He first visited through the Birthright program that funds free 10-day trips to Israel for young Jewish people living abroad:

Notes On Israel’s Gaza Incursion

Joe emails: Some notes on the ground action in gaza you will not get from the media:

First. Read martinvancreveld.com – the latest article hints to much of what I am saying. Note that he no longer calls the Palestinians weak and does not accuse the IDF of cowardice.

Note that the troops going in are Golani and paratroopers. Golani is so far in, the commander was almost killed. This is the elite combat brigade of the IDF. This is not a small matter, Israel is going to repair permanently the situation in Gaza.

Israel will reoccupy a large portion of Gaza and show that where the occupation is, no missiles are fired. Even if it has to level that area. This will prove to the powers that be that if Hamas does not operate in a certain area, there is quiet. So, the question is, who stops them from operating there?

It cannot be Israel for long – it appears that Israel will have Palestinian casualties through the roof soon – I estimate at least 2,000 dead, and the UN will assemble a solution based on Lebanon. For all the faults of the 2006 Lebanon war, there is now a robust force there and quiet on the north of Israel.

So, now the paradigm is “neutral” third party occupation of the Palestinians to avoid and prevent their lust for suicide.

Alexander Technique And Eye Strain

Nick writes: Recently I noticed I was developing eyestrain, and my work involves heavy amounts of staring at computer screens. Using my LM knowledge I realised that I was ‘looking at’ the screens – like ‘me’ was buried somewhere inside my head looking through my eye sockets. So I shifted the way I did this work, so that the screens were part of my ordinary, everyday presence in the room – less a looking-at the screens and more them just being there in my visual field, in my ordinary presence in the room.

David Gorman responds: Yes, Nick, I’ve worked with a lot of people in this sort of territory. Sometimes it is as you’ve described — the person is using their spatial attention as if “they” are are way back in themselves and so they are separated from what they are doing which is way out there, and sometimes it is that they have their spatial attention so pulled out of themselves that “they” are way out in space with what they are trying to do, far from their actual “body”.
Here are two quick examples of the latter: one is the person gets so “into the program” when working at a computer that their attention is right in the screen and they have “lost” themselves entirely (this often leads to neck and shoulder strain as the head gets pulled forward towards the screen); another is when someone is trying to understand something in a class, workshop, lecture, etc. and they think the knowledge is over there in the teacher and they are trying to “get it” (again, they will end up physically pulled forward, brows knitted, and usually with a palpable sense of strain).
The way we use our “attention space” (as I call it) directly organizes our co-ordinations, our posture, and affects all levels of our functioning.
Like the opening of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way”, there is one general way of using your attention space that allows good functioning, but there are many different ways of using attention space that lead to various different sorts of poor functioning.
It seems (and this won’t surprise you, Nick) that the most optimal functioning is when we are “present” in the moment and centred in an open and expansive field of attention. On the other hand, we begin to negatively affect our functioning whenever we narrow our attention off in any direction (especially if “trying” is also involved) — narrowing out of ourselves in space, narrowing back into ourselves to feel or change our feelings, narrowing off to the past or to future moments, or narrowing off into fantasy and day-dreams…
I wish to stress here that it is the narrowing that is the problem part of it. It is certainly possible to carry out any of the above — paying attention to things out in front of us like the computer screen, lectures. etc., or to notice inner experiences when they come our attention, or to think about past events or future implications and so on, just so long as we fully remain present in ourselves and the space around us at the same time…
There’s more on this “attention space” territory in a recent article written by one of my apprentice-teachers, Marion Day, and myself, called “By Intention Alone” — read it at www.learningmethods.com/by.intention.alone.htm

Most People Like It When You Have A Strong Identity

Steve Sailer writes: “From a new Pew report, “How Americans Feel about Religious Groups,” we see that Jews are the most ethnocentric religious group as measured by self-regard on a 0 to 100 scale (89). And Jews feel even colder toward Evangelical Christians (34) than they do toward Muslims (35). In contrast, the non-Jews that feel most warmly toward Jews are the Evangelical Christians (69).”

I grew up in Australia where 99% of the people I knew were white. I don’t ever recall in my first 11 years wishing there were more non-white people around.

I moved to rural Northern California in 1977 and for the next 17 years, more than 90% of the people I knew were white. I don’t recall ever wishing I had more non-white people in my life (though during my time at UCLA, I did fall in love with Asians in general and one Chinese girl in particular).

Most of my life I’ve been religious and seen life through a religious lens. Race was not important to me but I did see the benefits of living in safe communities with few high-crime groups. There was more cooperation this way with more social capital and less dysfunction.

I’ve lived in Los Angeles since 1994 and I never recall wishing there were more non-whites around me. Instead, I find it depressing that every year, my city (once the most Anglo-Saxon big city in America) becomes more like Mexico.

I don’t think Mexico wants to become more like Guatemala or Honduras. I don’t think Mexico is yearning for immigrants from El Salvador or Nicaragua. People want to preserve their own culture and way of life without interference from outsiders. There’s nothing ant-Mexican or anti-Honduran or anti-black or anti-Muslim in this way of thinking.

Over the past year, it has become clear to me that almost everybody prefers the company of people genetically similar to them. We prefer to live, work, socialize and worship with our own kind.

The Japanese, for instance, don’t want non-Japanese to immigrate into their land. As Jared Taylor wrote:

Japanese do not dislike foreigners—they sell cars and cameras to them very cheerfully—but they prefer familiar company. Apartment ads often say “no foreigners,” and silence may settle on the neighborhood bar if outlanders walk in.

Public bath houses on the northern island of Hokkaido were in the news last year because they wouldn`t let in foreigners. There was a stink about discrimination, and pro forma pledges of reform. The fact is, when Japanese take their clothes off for a soak, they`d rather be among their own kind.

So far as I know, it has never been reported in the press, but many of Japan`s legal houses of prostitution are off-limits to non-Japanese, too. Maybe disappointed customers are too embarrassed to protest, but “soap lands,” as they are called, have bouncers—often dressed in tuxedos—who make sure the girls do not have to grapple with uncouth foreigners.

Japanese who visit the United States are appalled by what they find here: ethnic politics, bilingual education, ballot papers in Chinese, racial preferences, interpreters in hospitals and courtrooms, jail-house race riots, foreign criminal gangs, etc. They wonder if millions of aging American whites can really count on blacks and browns to pay for their retirement. They have seen diversity in action, and they want none of it.

Not only is there no mitzva against racism in Judaism, not only has no great rabbi ever written a book about racism, but no moral thinker prior to the 20th Century ever wrote about the supposed sin of racism. Ergo, in my way of thinking, there is no such sin as racism. It’s not a moral category. It’s a stupid invention. What most people call racism is simply a healthy preference for one’s own kind. Lynching, for example, was usually a drastic punishment for a drastic crime.

I converted to Judaism in 1993. As far as we can tell, I have no Jewish ancestors. While I have been able to make my way in Jewish life and receive treatment according to my worth, I’ve come to see the importance of genetic ties in building a community. One thing I love about Orthodox shuls as opposed to more liberal synagogues is how often you see many generations praying, studying and eating together. The people Israel live.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve become increasingly Orthodox and I find that non-Jews, in general, have more respect for me the more Orthodox I am. At the same time, I see that while Christian Zionists may well be Jews’ best friends, they generally don’t command Jewish respect. We feel more comfortable with groups who stand up for their own group interest such as the Chinese and Koreans.

In my life, I find that blacks are relieved that I am not seeking their approval nor their absolution for “racism.” I treat non-whites on their own merits and they treat me on mine.

I think many whites in America fear that they are secretly racist and so they act phony, particularly around blacks, in trying to prove that they are not. Blacks hate this. They prefer to deal with a proud man rather than with someone who wants their approval.

If Christian Zionists want Jews to respect them, they need to think less about Jews and Israel, and more about what is good for their own kind.
