Steve Sailer writes<\/a>: Quinn\u2019s chapter on Jews is particularly worth reading. It begins:<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019m cautious with this section, because I know that Jews are the only ones who are actually going to read this book.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In his view, Jews dominate the media today because \u201cThey\u2019re the only ones who care.\u201d Granted, sometimes Jewish control of the culture gets out of hand and becomes bad for art.<\/p>\n

\n

If you kill a guy like [Mel Gibson] over a couple of anti-Semitic remarks, you reinforce all the beliefs that the Jews control the business and will take you down if you mess with them. I mean, even if it\u2019s true, you don\u2019t want to make it that obvious.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On the other hand:<\/p>\n

\n

Without them the whole country would be like Branson, Missouri. Go to a cultural center anywhere in the country, no matter where, and even if there are no Jews it\u2019s the Maurice and Florence Rosenthal Center for Art of Wyoming, the Herman and Lillian Tannenbaum Historical Museum of NASCAR of Rural Arkansas.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Jewish critical attitude is key. Jews encourage each other to offer well-considered judgments on quality:<\/p>\n

\n

Jews only listen to other Jews anyway, so this is falling on deaf ears, I realize that\u2026. Their big word with each other is \u201crecommendation.\u201d Do you recommend we go see that show? You say it was a good resort but would you recommend it?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The urge to ask questions helps drive Jewish business success as well:<\/p>\n

\n

They have to understand how the system is set up. To get anywhere you have to incessantly ask for explanations\u2026. Jews are here to remind us that it\u2019s okay to ask Why? How much? Who owns this? How come he owns it? How hard could it be? You do the paperwork, you get the loan, you get the license, you get the documentation, you find a manufacturer and a shipping company, and you open up a store, what?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In contrast to Coates\u2019 overt antiwhite animus and covert negrophobia<\/a>\u2014the poor soul grew up terrified by black bodies, whose bad behavior he publicly blames upon people who believe they are white\u2014the worldly Quinn is confident that we can learn from each other\u2019s strong points (and even from each other\u2019s mistakes). Of course, as the success of Coates demonstrates, Quinn\u2019s pro-diversity optimism is falling ever further out of fashion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
