Comments at Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* This guy (who is John Updike\u2019s son) married an african and has a black child or children. His older sister did the same thing. There\u2019s no humble-brag here. He genuinely wishes to be something he\u2019s not. And his decision\u2013he was born in 1957 according to Wiki\u2013wasn\u2019t some accident of some confused and deeply regretful white girl we so often see today. It was deliberate\u2013he obviously had choices.<\/p>\n

The self-hatred and utter determination to destroy oneself is remarkable. Very revealing and sad.<\/p>\n

* Anybody else noticing an increasingly frequent reflexive negative reaction to depictions of blue-eyed blonde people in any publicity or advertising? It\u2019s as if \u201canti-racism\u201d has become extremely prejudiced and racist itself, assuming that behind every \u201cAryan\u201d appearance hides a snarling bigoted racist heart. I find it very concerning. I think I need to flee America for Europe like our dear favorite genius Ta-Nehisi Coates, because if I ever do get around to having kids, chances aren\u2019t bad that they\u2019d have blue eyes like my own and I don\u2019t want them to suffer discrimination for it. Of course even there they seem to prefer the assertive, romantic, dark Mediterranean types, but at least they won\u2019t have to face so much of that kind of discrimination for their white bread heritage.<\/p>\n

* John Updike was a respectable 20th century novelist, his puling spawn turns out to be a wigger.<\/p>\n

I found this priceless description of the Negro manqu\u00e9 on the Creactive Nonfiction website: \u201cDavid Updike teaches English at Roxbury Community College in Boston and lives in Cambridge with his wife, Wambui, and son, Wesley.\u201d<\/p>\n

Such a pity he\u2019s reproduced. Just what the world needs, another mulatto with one African parent and one deluded white parent who exalts the black race. I\u2019m surprised David didn\u2019t express a wish to find himself distantly related to Harry Belafonte, \u201cthe best-looking man on the planet\u201d.<\/p>\n

Contemptible.<\/p>\n

* How soon until he \u201ctransitions\u201d?<\/p>\n

* John Updike\u2019s Daughter-in-Law, Dr. Wambui Updike, Talks about Ethnic Tensions<\/a><\/p>\n

* Here\u2019s a pic of the not hot Dr. Wambui Githiora-Updike in an article about the lack of teachers of color at the school where she teaches. She does not fail to mention \u201cmicroagressions\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"051916i-Wambui-Githiora-Updike-319x319\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is not a single black man on the core faculty<\/a>,\u201d added English teacher Wambui Githiora-Updike, referring to the required academic subjects known as core classes. She also cited \u201ca lack of administrative support to confront systemic problems of race and microaggressions\u201d as a critical factor in hampering retention of teachers of color.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* From John Updike\u2019s \u201cA Letter to My Grandsons\u201d:<\/p>\n

\u201ca floating sexual curiosity and potential love between the races that in your parents has come to earth and borne fruit and that the blended shade of your dear brown skins will ever advertise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Further proof that xenophilia has a genetic component\u2026.<\/p>\n

* Madam Wambui flogs the \u2018Diversity thing\u2019 as somehow beneficial to Boston\u2019s school children, not to mention non-White faculty and staff…<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, husband David publicly flogs himself for being too White despite his best efforts to erase himself via his mate selection and progeny. David\u2019s mom must have really poisoned the relationship between David and his dad.<\/p>\n

* David Updike teaches English at Roxbury Community College in Boston.<\/p>\n

Roxbury section of MA is a 100% black ghetto. I suspect that the student body at Roxbury Community College is also 100% black, and that Updike\u2019s students do not read novels written by dead White males.<\/p>\n

* Updike made the news last year with this widely-reported open letter<\/a> he addressed to a woman who reported him to the police as a suspected paedophile.<\/p>\n

* Quite a\u2026 looker. Some \u2026catch. All that and a breakfast table discussion each and every day about microaggressions, diversity, people of color. What a lucky guy. Wambui sounds very much like the gag name of the wife in Eddie Murphy\u2019s comedy routine, not that anyone like Updike has ever watched it. Also find it hysterical to no end that so many black people and especially black women take 2 last names like they\u2019re meeting Lord and Lady Grantham and the Duke of Windsor for high tea this afternoon.<\/p>\n

* One thing worth remembering about John Updike is that his reputation was pulled into the gutter by a series of attacks commenced by David Foster Wallace<\/a>, who called out his \u201cphallocentric narcissism (along with other famous novelists of the era, such as Norman Mailer and Philip Roth).<\/p>\n

Wallace was of course clearing the way for a new, far more enlightened breed of novelists, such as, say, himself. (He hadn\u2019t yet realized, I surmise, just how white he was.)<\/p>\n

But I get the impression that Updike himself never fully recovered from this attack; his politics seemed far and conspicuously liberal even at the end<\/p>\n

Probably his children particularly took that criticism to heart, which would explain their abjectness.<\/p>\n

One wonders also if abjectness is a genetic thing, since it seems so prevalent in North Western European Protestant peoples. I certainly don\u2019t get the impression that Philip Roth was similarly moved by these criticisms.<\/p>\n

* It\u2019s funny that nowadays everyone wants to be something other than \u201cwhite\u201d whereas a hundred years ago, everyone wanted to not only be white but members of the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution.) There was a time when being a member of the Holland Society or the Order of Cincinnati meant something but not now. And if you have a lot of ancestors who were pre-revolutionary or are listed on the rolls of those who received pensions in 1832 you better keep your mouth shut.<\/p>\n

In my own family there are a couple of voids in the censuses and related materials that lead me to suspect some non-white (principally NA) ancestry in there, but it would probably be no more than my supposed Neanderthal ancestry and equally meaningless. In terms of family genealogy it\u2019s much more valuable to know who your family consorted with and what they did, which includes Blacks (some as slaves) and Native Americans, as well as Chinese in the Gold Rush\/Railroad days. That makes me feel an affinity to them, and to the history of this country, that \u201cblood\u201d would not provide.<\/p>\n

But that goes to \u201cwhite\u201d ancestry as such. White ancestry is only non-exotic because of we are taught that it is not exotic. Hackett Fisher\u2019s book goes a long way to underscore that there are many varieties of \u201cEnglish\u201d, not to mention Irish, Welsh, Cornish, Scottish, etc. The same goes for French, F-Canadian, Basque, different regions of Italy, Germany, Austria, Eastern Europe, and so on. If you really need to hang your hat on something \u201cdifferent\u201d just look to Europe.<\/p>\n

Another thing that tended to be suppressed was slave owning. The only thing I heard about that as a youth is that my ancestors were opposed to it. And so they were: but there was a distinct father\/son dynamic there; the son rebelled against the father, who owned them. Nobody is happy that I discovered our slave owning ancestor. I doubt if any of us would ever want to volunteer in a discussion, \u201cOh, yeah, we owned slaves.\u201d Talk about putting a target on your back.<\/p>\n

As far as age goes, from a common sense perspective, 35 is too young, period. Part of this is actuarial, 70 is no longer the end point for the majority of persons; if I recall correctly the average lifespan in America is 79, and several developed nations are even higher.<\/p>\n

I would say that 40 is definitely middle aged. But going gray is another index, regardless of age. I\u2019m in my \u201960\u2032s, but my beard has been white for 20 years, and people have been calling me \u201csir\u201d, opening doors for me, and giving me senior citizen discounts for quite a while now. On the other hand my hair is still brown, so I could theoretically shave off 20 years if I wanted to. But I wouldn\u2019t feel like I was any younger.<\/p>\n

So, if middle age is 40, I would still say 60 is old age. I note that many pension plans are accessible after 59.5, early retirement at that age or soon after is common, social security can start at 62, in full force at 65-67, and so on. And, remember too that when social security was first installed in Germany and then other countries the expectation was that you would collect for only a few years, not decades as is the case today.<\/p>\n

The main problem with old age, aside from the loss of energy and longer recuperation times, is that you know you are basically unattractive to young people, if not worse. This can be particularly difficult for those, men and women, but particularly women, who have spent a lifetime stressing their attractiveness. That\u2019s why you have to develop your inner life.<\/p>\n

* When we [whites of northern European origins] see a stranger we think, \u2018Ah, a possible friend!\u2019 When people of other ethnocultural groups encounter a stranger, they generally think \u2018Oh, no, a potential enemy, I have to be on my guard against this person,\u2019 and\/or \u2018Here comes a sucker I can take advantage of.\u2019 (this is paraphrased from Dr. Greg Johnson).<\/p>\n

As such, NW Europeans create very pleasant, open, trust-based, progressive societies (in the best sense), but are also susceptible to takeover by hostile elites.<\/p>\n

* It related to bin Laden\u2019s observation that when people see a strong horse and a weak horse, they naturally prefer the strong horse. Or, as Americans say, \u201ceveryone loves a winner\u201d. Non-whites are the \u201ccool kids\u201d and the wave of the future and whites are considered to be old and on the decline. So naturally some people would like to switch teams and claim membership in the winning group, even if that is genetically impossible. Updike couldn\u2019t arrange it for himself but he arranged it for his descendants.<\/p>\n

When white Christians were in the ascendancy, people with non-white Christian ancestry would marry white Christians and try to \u201cpass\u201d as white Christians themselves. This was common among light skinned black Creoles and Jews.<\/p>\n

White European Christians have lost civilizational confidence and non-whites sense it and step into the power vacuum, not so much because they are eager for power but because everyone is afraid of being on a ship with no captain. Sometimes I watch that dog training show with the Mexican guy and one of his repeated themes is that when the dog is \u201cbehaving badly\u201d it\u2019s because it senses that there\u2019s nobody in charge (the owner being some worthless liberal) so the dog feels compelled to do something about it because the SOMEONE has to be the adult in the room.<\/p>\n

I can understand why European civilizations lost confidence \u2013 instead of culminating in some golden age, white Europeans spent the 20th century inventing ever more deadly weapons and slaughtering each other by the millions. Something like that has to cause you to doubt whether you were really on the right track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
