Beating around the bush

Sometimes it is downright funny how close some authors will come to citing racial differences as causes for historical conditions but without actually mentioning it explicitly.  They will beat around the bush and consider far-fetched theories but never dare to bring up the obvious.
Here we see a blogger, by the name of Paul Rosenberg, listing explanations for why liberty flourished specifically in the West.
He admits that practically all the trappings of modern civilization were invented in the West (in other words, by whites), yet it seems to never occur to him that racial differences might have something to do with it.  Instead he comes up with these theories:

1) Language – Western (Indo-European) grammar, with its categories of gender, its sharp distinction of person and number, and its great emphasis on chronological tense, instills a certain level of logical attitude toward life. In contrast, the languages of the Far East emphasize relative class levels…
2) Separation – The Western tradition features heroes who separated themselves from everyone else. Abraham was commanded to separate himself. Moses commanded Israel to be separate from all other peoples. Jesus commanded his students to remain separate from the teachings of the other Jewish sects. And so on…
3) Subversive religions – The religions of the West – Judaism and Christianity – are subversive religions, even though most of their leaders would rather not admit it. (They must generally support the State in order to get favors such as tax exemption.)…
4) Farming – Westerners have almost always been farmers, as opposed to herdsmen or hunters…
Farmers tend to see the world as a positive-sum game and nomads as a zero-sum game. The important thing about this is that positive- or zero-sum assumptions form in human minds and – if not analyzed and adjusted – color wide areas of thought. This affects all sorts of opinions and judgments…
5) Cold – Most Western cultures are also northern cultures. There have been a number of interesting theories put forth as to why most advances are made in cold places. Certainly the inability to be lazy without freezing plays a major role. Active people, after all, produce more than inactive people, and in cold places, inactivity can be fatal. This is an interesting area of study…
6) New continents – In the 17th Century, people in the West found an opportunity to flee all expectations and re-create civilization on a new continent. This was a very important and powerful force in the West. In our current situation, people with radically new ideas are considered dangerous to one extent or another. What if they could simply leave, go to some new, un-ruled place and try living their new way? What new strategies might be revealed as superior to thought-choking obedience?…
7) Disasters – This answer goes fairly deep into speculation, but it is worth mentioning.
For the last half-million years, our planet has experienced a string of at least four ice ages. In each of them, a huge portion of the earth has been covered with ice and snow and the rest of the planet was much colder than it is now. In the last ice age, what are now Indianapolis and St. Louis were covered with glaciers – a lot like Greenland’s current condition. Even the areas where soil was exposed were much colder than they are now…
8) God versus State – Since the Judeo-Christianity of the West was a subversive religion (as mentioned above), it has very often struggled against the State. Normally this is thought of as the State preventing the Church from turning into an oppressive theocracy (which has certainly occurred), but that is only one side of the issue. When massive ideologies (like Church and State) oppose each other, it opens up cracks, where liberty can flourish. (And they do oppose each other, since both compete for the full respect and devotion of the people…

Of course most of us are aware that the underlying cause of most of the above conditions was inherent racial advantages such as higher average I.Q. and a lower time preference.  Especially interesting are his words on “Cold” (which include only what I quoted above and no more).  Is it reasonable to attribute technological advancement with a need for more physical activity due to cold?  It seems to me that most of that physical activity would have been spent hunting for food in the vast tundra when they were not huddled in front of a fire sleeping.
The above essay is in the same category as “Guns, Germs and Steel“, an obsessive quest to find non-racial explanations for the superiority of white civilization.  Even if some of those arguments have validity, this does not preclude the validity of racial explanations.  There can be many contributors to an end result
Mr. Rosenberg comes so close to mentioning race that I suspect he might realize its significance.  But there is a huge leap of courage that separates realizing the truth and writing the truth.  Some would say it is not courage but folly and this is for each individual to decide for himself, as an ancient Jewish sage once said, “Do not judge your fellow until you come to his place.”

Extra credit for being black

Take a look at the illustration below:
Our initial impression is that square A is darker than square B.  This is because our brain recognizes a pattern and interprets what our eyes see accordingly.  As a matter of fact, square A and square B are the same shade.
Similarly, we are accustomed to blacks behaving a certain way.  Not that all blacks behave the same, but there are particular black flavors of the various personality types we encounter.  Over the years, our brains grow accustomed to this pattern and we expect it.  I am certain that leftists, in particular, internalize these patterns and adjust their judgments of black individuals accordingly.  If I encounter a black person (or a person of any other race) who is loud and obnoxious, I have no qualms about thinking this, or even saying it.  A leftist, on the other hand, will excuse such behavior since it is expected among blacks.  He will have no such tolerance for whites who behave similarly; his expectation of whites is higher – though he will never admit it.
I will freely admit that when I encounter blacks who act with humility, behave like ladies and gentlemen, dress conservatively and speak with respect, I think to myself “what a beautiful thing!”  because  their demeanor is in stark contrast to what I’ve learned to expect from so many others of their race.  It is refreshing.  And yet, because I have not excused the inferior behavior of other blacks, I do not hold the well-behaved ones to be superior to similarly behaved whites.  But leftists, having already accepted inferior black behavior as normal, expected and perfectly acceptable, will give those blacks extra credit.  In their minds, civilized blacks are superior to equivalent whites because they had to elevate themselves further from their base (default) behavior to reach their current level.
To be sure, if a leftist recognized the above psychological dynamics within himself, he would castigate himself for being racist.  He would sign up for sensitivity training because he would realize that the root of his adoration of civilized blacks lies in his lower expectations of them to begin with.
In his mannerisms, oratory skills and overall intelligence, Barack Obama is no better than many white politicians.  But since he is (half) black, leftists subconsciously expected less of him.  It is as if they were saying, “this guy is really smart for a black.  We should elect him!”
Blacks also receive extra credit in grading.   Steven Farron in The Affirmative Action Hoax (pg 127) writes:

Even without conscious intention, Blacks receive much higher grades than Whites for the same work.  Kent Harber (1998) wrote a large number of essays that he filled with errors in grammar and content.  He then asked ninety-two  White college students to act as markers and gave one essay to each, along with a brief description of the putative author, which indicated the “author’s” race indirectly but clearly (e.g., member of the Black Student Union).  The markers’ average rating (on a one to seven scale) for content of the essays they thought were written by Blacks was 3.5, but 2.7 for the essays they thought were written by Whites…

The converse may also be true.  Since we expect less of blacks, their crimes are not punished as harshly as if they were committed by whites.  Just as square A seems darker than square B, because it is in an overall lighter area, so too do the crimes of whites seem more heinous than those of blacks.  The MSM sometimes plays into this mentality with statements such as “in this quiet trusting community, nobody could have suspected that a monster lurked in their midst”.  We probably would not read such a statement if the crime had occurred in the South side of Chicago.
We are hardwired to perceive things in terms of contrast and in terms of patterns.  This is not our own doing; it is embedded in our nature.  It is a part of nature that is in us.  While we have the power to appreciate that squares A and B are the same shade of gray, we also have the power to appreciate why we see them differently.  I think there is room to celebrate both aspects of our humanity.

Gulf oil spill stimulates the economy (parody)

Everybody knows that war is good for the economy.  Unfortunately, it has a tendency to affect people of color disproportionately and even lead to their deaths.  This unfortunate fact has lead to a search for alternative forms of war – war that affects mainly white people and animals, the former having no group interest lobbyists in government and the latter represented only by people who throw fake blood on fur coats.
When the idea of a massive oil spill was first presented to President Obama, his first question was, “how would this affect the bruthas and sistas?”  As soon as Obama was assured that the vast majority of victims would be white, he signed the order and, well, the rest is history.
Yes, war on the environment is the wave of the future for stimulating the economy.  Only a handful of people died – almost all of them merely white men – but many jobs are being created as a result.  Not only that, but special care is being taken that these jobs are not taken by heretics.
Some have questioned the long-term efficacy of oils spills for employment.  To them I say, let us not lose sight of the fact that, when employment runs out for this oil spill, we can always create another and another and another…  There is enough offshore oil to keep Americans employed for generations to come.  If necessary, all three hundred million of us could make our livings skimming oil off the waters.  Between B.P., the Fed printing presses and some generous donations from Bill Gates, there should be enough money to keep us all living well for hundreds of years.  So cheer up folks!  It’s not all that bad.

An excellent article

Today I’m going to be lazy and simply link to somebody else’s work.  It is an excellent article by Alex Kurtagic entitled “Learning from the Right“.  Though it is somewhat long, it is well worth reading; he sums up a lot of what many of us here have been saying, or should be saying, about the racialist movement.  Although I am not one to read fiction, I am tempted to purchase his novel, “Mister” – or rather, I was until I saw the price.  Why would a used copy cost over twice as much as a new one?

The Oregonian re: illegal immigration

It looks like the Oregonian is finally willing to recognize the damage from illegal immigration.  This is from a recent front page article in the Oregonian (06/20/2010)*:

The trafficking is in people as well as drugs, and we pay dearly.  Mexican migrants leave trash strewn across the desert, break into homes in search of food, receive treatment at hospitals and impose a burden on police.  We have paid for autopsies for many migrants found dead in the desert.
We find tons of trash that these individuals leave behind, backpacks and cloths.  They commit a lot of theft.
Legal experts say Washington bears some blame.
“The quality of law enforcement in border areas is generally weak, said Kevin Washburn… “It is primarily a federal responsibility, and the federal government’s commitment has been weak.

I did take the liberty of omitting one small detail (and changing some words accordingly) from the above quote: This article deals specifically with the impact of Mexican “migrants” upon Native American reservations.  It seems that it’s alright to list the ills of illegal immigration as long as the victims are non-white.  I challenge anybody to find a similarly negative take on illegal immigration (as it impacts whites) from the Oregonian or any major Western newspaper – except, perhaps, in the editorial section.
*Native American reservations becoming drug pipeline to U.S. (pg. A2)

One Sheaf, One Vine

I just got finished reading One Sheaf, One Vine by Robert Griffin.  I think it is very well written and I enjoyed it very much.  Thanks to Gaurav Ahuja for sending me the link.
As I sat reading this work, I thought to myself how there might be a possibility of getting some of my own leftist family members to read it.  After all, it is entertaining and easy to understand.  The style draws you in much like a novel and the reader, in most cases, can easily identify with the subjects.  I thought to myself how this work can do so much to drive home the fact that white nationalists are real people with the same ambitions, fears and hurdles as the rest of Western society.
Any thoughts of asking family members to read it faded away, however, when I saw that from the middle of the book onward, the evils of “the Jews” took a more and more prominent role.  I realized that any Jew, who is not already familiar with the basics of white nationalism, would quickly be turned off by such writings.  He would say to himself, “It looks like what I’ve been told is true.  Those racist whites really do hate us and they must be out to get us too!”  From that point on, it would be highly unlikely that such a Jew would discover, and embrace, racial truths.  The well has been poisoned for him.
Far be it from me to deny that there is a Jewish problem and I’ve already written that we Jews must take responsibility for our role in destructive movements and for our adversarial attitude toward the West – and I speak in general terms here.  But this does not mean that there is no hope for bringing some Jews to the truth – and we really should have tools to help facilitate this.  All too often I think I’ve found something that might be useful only to discover that it cannot be used because, somewhere in the middle typically, it starts blaming “the Jews”.  When trying to convert people to the Truth, it is not helpful to imply that they are innately evil and the source of everything rotten that has happened to Western man.  I’m certain that missionaries, in the dark of Africa, don’t go around trying to convert the local blacks by making them feel like the dregs of humanity.
So what we have here is a vicious cycle.  Jews started it to be sure – but right now we should be asking ourselves how we can end it.  Evil Jews, such as the ones involved with the SPLC, contribute mightily to anti-Semitism by behaving just as so many white nationalists insist Jews behave.  Then those white nationalists write about it in their articles and books.  Then ordinary Jews are confronted with literature that is full of accusations against Jews and those ordinary Jews see this as proof that the SPLC is right, that there is a lot of hatred in the world toward Jews and we must be vigilant and look out for ourselves.  So, said Jews take out their checkbooks and send the SPLC more money and so it goes (white nationalist authors unwittingly contributing to the SPLC racket)…
Somebody needs to be mature enough to openly recognize what is going on here and try to put an end to it.  Jews are not a monolithic entity; we do not have a single leader who can speak for all of us.  Of course the same is true of white nationalists.  But there are some, in the white nationalist movement, who are influential enough that if they held out an olive branch to honorable Jews, it might mean something.  It would not have to be much.  Just an acknowledgment that there are some good Jews and to mention this more often as they bash Jews in general.  Likewise, it would be immensely beneficial if some influential Jewish leaders came out publicly and stated that they understand the concerns of white nationalists.  That their protests are not without merit.  I do not have much hope that this will happen because I think honesty is more common among white nationalist leaders (my recent post not withstanding) than it is among Jewish leaders.
Reading through One Sheaf, One Vine, I could not help but notice how many whites came to their senses through books and organizations that have a definite anti-Jewish slant to them.  As for me, I wonder if those same books and organizations would have helped me along or if they might have scared me off.  At this point, I am strong enough in my convictions that they do not bother me but this sort of conviction and maturity takes time.  Just as we educate a child with baby steps, so too we often must educate brainwashed adults with baby steps.  In our society, blaming Jews for a multitude of ills that plague us is not usually an effective approach – especially if it is a Jew you are trying to educate.
The facts of the Jewish undermining of Western civilization need to be presented.  People should know about these things, but we need to have our primers, our intermediate material and then our advanced material.  Throwing advanced material at a layman will probably only serve to alienate him.

Shop right – buy white

The hostile elite leaves no stones unturned in order to impose racial diversity upon once white societies.  Their choices of models on product packaging is one measure of manufacturer’s “commitment to diversity”.  The fact that most American products still depict white models is encouraging and shows that those in charge of marketing recognize that eliminating whites altogether from their packaging would alienate too many customers.  In other words, many whites still possess some sort of racial awareness even if it is only at a subconscious level.  Otherwise, we would probably see no white faces on product packaging; they would all be “people of color”.
When we are shopping for breakfast cereal and come upon a choice such as this:

… which product should we purchase?  The correct answer is, of course, the one on the right.  When we are shopping for diapers and encounter the following choice:

… which one should we purchase?  That’s correct!  The one on the right.  We can rest assured that many blacks would, in both cases, pick the products on the left because they identify with their own race.
Race-conscious shopping is not a sign of hatred toward other races.  It is a way each of us can rebel against the forces of evil, which are plotting extermination against whites.  So we are not showing disdain for blacks but rather for the powers that be and their agenda.  A black might say it is our way of “stickin’ it to the MAN”.
So, next time you’re out shopping, don’t just look for the best deal.  Look for ways to shop white and “stick it to the MAN”.

A black blogger moans about AIDS…

Rev. Dr. Renita J. Weems moans and groans about the high incidence of AIDS and other STD’s among blacks:

I have started and stopped and started rewriting this blogpiece 10 times already. I can’t seem to find my footing into this topic. The numbers are staggering.
One of every four teenage girls between 14-19 years old has been infected with a sexually transmitted disease.
Now take a look at the figures for black girls.
Forty-eight percent (48%) of African American teen girls between 14-19 years old has had at least one sexually transmitted disease.
What are we to think? How are we supposed to interpret this data?
Are we to believe that black girls have more sex, more teen pregnancies, and more STD’s than any other population?
Now they are telling us that African Americans who make up only 13% of the population comprise half of the population living with HIV/AIDS in this country with African American, and that our teens are becoming the fastest growing poupulation contracting the disease. What are we supposed to think? That we have a bunch of diseased-ridden young sluts and studs that we call our children?

Actually yes, Rev. Weems, many of your children are disease-ridden young sluts and studs.  Rev. Weems’ blog post contains a wealth of lamenting and emotion but not a single explanation as to why blacks are so much more prone to STD’s than other races.
Wanting to be helpful, I sent Rev. Weems an email:

I just read your piece on HIV/AIDS in your blog and I wanted to tell you that I believe interracial relationships have a lot to do with the prevalence of AIDS among blacks in America.
With so many non-black women actively seeking out black men for dating, the status of black men has been artificially inflated.  It is very easy for a black man to find women – of any color.  What this might mean for black women is that they feel they must make more concessions in order to gain favor in the eyes of black men.  This means having sex more readily and foregoing protection.
I’m interested in your opinion on what I just wrote and, if you agree, what possible solutions you might suggest.  Should black women be more willing to date men of other races?  Should black men be expected to date within their own race?  Should black women try, in other ways, to make themselves more attractive to black men?  Should we hold the media responsible for pushing the black man/white woman model so aggressively?

So far, it has been about a week since I sent the email and still no response.  Perhaps she finds my suggestion distasteful but, if she is truly sincere in her concerns, she should be seeking the truth, pleasant or not.
The explanation I suggested above would apply even if there were no genetic differences between the races.  In fact, there is much evidence that blacks are hard-wired to be more promiscuous and to have a higher time-preference.  Prof. Philippe Rushton built a solid case for this in his excellent book “Race, Evolution and Behavior”.  How many blacks would ever consider such a possibility?  Very few; most would feel deeply offended by such a suggestion.
I recently found out that the newest member of my (extended) family is going to be born with Spina Bifida.  People with this condition commonly have low/average I.Q.’s and often suffer from learning disabilities.  There are, of course, also a host of physical symptoms including a strong likelihood of latex allergy.  Nobody in my family – or among the medical profession – has suggested that it would be a good idea to hide these propensities from mother or child.  As far as I can tell, nobody is concerned that somebody might become offended if such risks are brought up.  On the contrary, the mother has every intention of keeping latex out of her home and she is fully prepared to take advantage of special programs for the learning disabled.
In the same way, black communities have a right to know their limitations and proclivities.  Black communities should take them into consideration and have a penal system geared to them.  I do not blame blacks for the fact that they will not accept the reality of racial differences.  Instead I blame whites for this.  It is the responsibility of whites to stop worrying about offending blacks and to allow the truth to be discussed openly and to become known.  Only then can people like Rev. Weems cease their whining and actually take meaningful steps to combat the spread of STD’s among their youth.

USA Today – Afrocentric as ever


Apparently, according to USA Today, once all top spots are held by blacks, peace and tranquility will finally be our lot.  In the meantime, USA Today is doing its part to guarantee that as many top media spots as possible go to blacks.  Are Uzbeks white?  They look white in the above photo – and they’re crying because of ethnic strife.  The white woman is hugging her black politician hero, while the white man to the left is (thankfully in this case) dead.  I’m not sure about the two individuals on the upper right; that image is covered by an advertiser’s sticker.

The David Duke paradox

David Duke wrote “My Awakening” and this book has made a huge difference in the lives of many people – a positive difference.  He also publicly promotes the group rights of whites and this is commendable.  Furthermore, at least one of his daughters follows in his racialist footsteps and honors him greatly.  I think this is a beautiful thing.
On the flip side, Duke is alleged to have engaged in questionable behavior and I am in no position to judge whether he did these deeds or not.  Some of my friends, themselves race-realists, think the man is an abomination.  Perhaps – and perhaps the white nationalist movements, varied as they are, should pick their spokesmen more carefully.
The white nationalist movements are, unfortunately, plagued by men of dubious character: Nick Griffin, David Lane, Robert Matthews and Harold Covington for example.  But to those who are quick to judge white nationalism on this basis, I would ask: are “mainstream” politicians any better?  If anything, I would say they are far worse.  Also, in a sense, white nationalism is de facto illegal.  This makes it much like alcohol during prohibition; just as it was mainly criminal types who were attracted to commerce in illegal alcohol, so too it is mainly criminal types who are attracted to leadership in white nationalism.  Once white nationalism becomes permissible for public discourse, its leaders will tend to be more savory.  Furthermore, black nationalist leaders and Jewish nationalist leaders are far from perfect and yet the media is quite forgiving toward them.
I think mature people need to get in the habit of separating the man from the message.  Not that we should lower ourselves to the level of other races, who have no moral standards for their leaders.  But if we demand that our leaders be flawless, who then shall we look up to?  As much as I admire Jared Taylor, I am certain that he is not without sin.
In conclusion, if I felt that the book “My Awakening” could help somebody reach the truth and awaken him from his slumber, I would not hesitate to lend the book to him.  At the same time, I might include a disclaimer about its author.  We need every effective tool we can get our hands on for our intellectual arsenal.   “My Awakening” might be an effective tool.  I’ve read that John Browne gives away free copies of it.  That is a great deal.  As a Jew, I find it difficult to pass up a good deal so I might just take him up on it.
