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

* That is so funny. The researchers didn\u2019t think that what non-whites think would be of any importance and so didn\u2019t even bother to interview them. They automatically bypassed them as though they were invisible.<\/p>\n

* The left\/academic label of \u201cracist\u201d is a slur only directed at whites. They would never call South African blacks or Gulf Arabs racist, even though they meet their definition.<\/p>\n

* Lots of pushback in the comments. And this is The Atlantic! The cultural winds are definitely shifting. Can anyone envisage what a politically incorrect yet liberal future might look like?<\/p>\n

* According to many liberals, it would look like Rwanda. That is the conclusion that many liberals jump to: equality or genocide \u2013 there is no middle ground. What does that tell you about them?<\/p>\n

* Rawlsian arguments: African Americans didn\u2019t choose to be born with lower median IQs, and they are still our fellow citizens, so they deserve our support and help. A recognition of IQ differences would support segregation by IQ in schools (it wouldn\u2019t be strict segregation by race, since an African American with an IQ of, say, 90, would attend the same schools as a white American with an IQ of 90). Low IQ schools would be focused on basics \u2013 the three R\u2019s \u2013 using simple rote learning methods, followed by vocational training with a pipeline to skilled trade jobs. This would be combined with a revival of the union movement to support higher wages for blue-collar Americans, as well as a reduction in immigration and targeted increases in tariffs and trade barriers to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. (much as Reagan did with the Japanese car industry in the 1980s to convince them to open American factories).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, we would embark upon a massive, Manhattan-Project-scale campaign to find a method of increasing genetic IQ. This could conceivably be done in a decade or two with enough resources, though you\u2019d still have lower-IQ older people around for a while even afterward. We would also do everything possible to remove any environmental hazards that can lower IQ, such as lead-contaminated soil.<\/p>\n

* Study out today<\/a> showing 42 of the 50 most violent cities in the world are in Latin America, based on murder rate per 100,000.<\/p>\n

There are four cities in the US (you know which ones) and four in South Africa on the list.<\/p>\n

21 are in Brazil, the site of the 2016 Summer Olympics!! Eight in Venezuela and five in Mexico.<\/p>\n

Mexico somehow got lucky and had five cities fall off the list from last year, even though homicides were up in Mexico for 2015 over 2014.<\/p>\n

* SJWism is the last respectable refuge of white supremacism.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had exactly the same thought: that when looking at the spectrum of ideologies, modern liberalism belongs as a sub-set of white racial supremacism.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s telling that liberals are obsessed with the Nazis, as political groups often despise the very groups they are politically closest to\u2013the \u2018Judean Popular Front syndrome\u2019 if you like, because they are competing for the same support.<\/p>\n

In an era when whites are denied any way of understanding their own history, or any kind of racial\/historical identity, consciousness, or sense of destiny, is it outlandish to suppose that for some liberals White Guilt offers them the only acceptable way for them to have a racial sense of belonging\u2013albeit and entirely negative one? One in which the Master Race willingly dissolves itself\u2013imagine Angela Merkel as Arnie at the end of Terminator 2, lowering herself into the molten metal\u2013for the sake of creating an Equality of Untermensch at some future date?<\/p>\n
