Sarrazin does it again

Thilo Sarrazin has spoken out against German race-replacement again, this time in paperback:

Anger as ex-finance minister warns Muslims “making Germany stupid”

A LEADING German Social Democrat has written a book with an apocalyptic vision of his country sliding into poverty, stupidity and Muslim domination.

Thilo Sarrazin, 65, a former Berlin finance minister and current Bundesbank board member, is already under investigation by a public prosecutor for allegedly inciting racial hatred by blaming immigrants for making Germany “dumber” and calling Muslim children “underclass citizens.”

Now his book, Germany is destroying itself: How we are gambling with our country, threatens the strained social fabric of the “multi-culti” Fatherland once more at a time of rising racial tensions and the radicalisation of Islamic youth.

“I don’t want the country of my grandchildren and great-grandchildren to become, in large part, Muslim, that over wide areas Turkish and Arabic are spoken, where the women wear headscarves and the daily rhythms of life are dictated by the call of the Muezzin,” he writes.

“Demographically, the enormous fertility of the Muslim migrants poses a threat for the cultural and civilization equilibrium in aging Europe.”

Mr Sarrazin’s book, published next week, began serialisation in the best-selling tabloid Bild yesterday and paints a “bleak portrayal of a country suffering the consequences of a low birth rate, immigration and poverty. Are we gambling with our well-being, social freedom and the stability of our society?”

He claims national identity will be lost in a few short decades.

In his book, he adds: “The social consequences of uncontrolled migration were always taboo, and one was not allowed to talk about the fact people are different - intellectually more or less talented, lazy or industrious, with more or less morality, and that education and equal chances have not changed that ...

In carrying the story the Scotsman has done what none of the mainstream newspapers in England has so far been willing to do.  It would be interesting to know how big a deal this is in Germany.  The response from the Establishment is predictable.  But what do ordinary Germans say about it?

Dawkins sides with the race realists.

Richard Dawkins is one of the most prolific writers and defenders of evolution and rational thinking. Still, I assumed from his books, speeches and articles that I am familiar with that he would fall into political correctness when it came to the issue of race realism. For anyone not familiar with Dawkins work, a quick overview at Wikipedia should convince all that he is a major contributor to the biological sciences.

I read his book in defense of evolution and his rebuttal of intelligent design: The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution, (Richard Dawkins, 2009) and was pleasantly surprised that he seems to accept eugenics and race realism. Virtually every book I read that deals with the biological sciences, at some point, makes a short statement that dismisses any credibility in the notion that race is real or that there can be any heritable group differences between races in intelligence, behavior, criminal tendencies, etc. And Dawkins discusses how he once made a statement that the “intelligent design” crowd was able to use against him, so he is very aware of what he writes and “how” he writes about it. He is very aware of carelessly worded positions taken about sensitive issues.

The meaning of the word “great” in a “black” context

by Alexander Baron

Recently, while doing some totally non-controversial research into contemporary music, I happened upon a website called 100GreatBlackBritons; I was led there by the name Phil Lynott. I was surprised to find his name on this site, because although I knew he was born in Britain, I have never regarded him as great in that context. I have been a Thin Lizzy fan since I first heard Whiskey In The Jar way back in the early 1970s, and have studied no less than three biographies of the man.

Phil Lynott was one of a kind, along with Rory Gallagher he is unarguably the most influential figure in Irish rock music. Thin Lizzy hailed from Dublin, and Lynott himself often claimed to be Irish born and bred. In March 1973, articles in Melody Maker and New Musical Express said he was born at Dublin and in the Irish Republic respectively; the former gave his date of birth as August 20 1951. In fact, Philip Parris Lynott was born in the Hallam Hospital, West Bromwich, the illegitimate son of an Irish Catholic teenager and a Negro civil servant. Although black, or technically half-black, he was totally assimilated, paying only lip service to his Negroid roots by writing a mere handful of songs with racial themes, mostly early on in his career. In his personal as well as his musical life he was surrounded by white people, and was totally accepted by them as he grew up between Manchester and Dublin. It is doubtful if he ever experienced racism, even if such an entity existed.

Although renouncing his British identity, Lynott was not in any way ashamed of it; he identified with Ireland for mystical reasons, primarily his fascination with Irish history and legend, which is reflected in many of his songs. This romanticising flowed over into his personal life; he liked to claim his father was a Brazilian seaman, but in January 1976, after rising star Phil and his band were featured in the popular weekly Titbits, Cecil Parris materialised. Rather than a character from an Errol Flynn film, he appears to have been more like Del Boy out of Only Fools And Horses. They did not meet again.

Phil Lynott was the archetypal rock star – live fast, die young. He succumbed to septicemia and multiple organ failure in January 1986, the result of his addiction to heroin. Although not the greatest bass player in the world, he was a competent rock musician, but his true strength was as a writer/composer. A lot of his songs, even the more commercially oriented, have deeper meanings, and to call him the High Poet of Irish Rock is no exaggeration. But was he a great man?

The History of White People

A new book has hit the bestseller list and is being promoted in every liberal nook and cranny imaginable. If one did a search on this book, and read the reviews, you would come away thinking that it was remarkable, insightful, and of intellectual merit. When I actually read it, however, it was incredible rubbish; not because I disagree with the conclusions, but because the author, Nell Irvin Painter, is simply an unintelligent Black woman. But the Left unashamedly promotes her book as if it had even a scintilla of redeeming value.

I saw Ms. Painter being interviewed by Stephen Colbert, where he mercilessly made fun of her while maintaining his liberal comedic bias—it was quite entertaining. But Painter, author of The History of White People, has been interviewed and reviewed by the more serious side of the anti-White establishment. Acclaimed for spending ten years researching and writing the book, she makes a mockery of Black scholarship—if that is not an oxymoron. In fact one only has to read the very beginning of the book and the very end, to realize that she contradicts herself repeatedly. The book makes no sense. It also struck me that she probably had read Noel Ignatiev’s How the Irish Became White and followed the same line of argument with slightly different material. The book was published in 2010, but it is apparent that she finished the book in 2005, just ten years after publication of Ignatiev’s anti-White screed.

Then and now, and the short distance between

by The Narrator

The following text was written by Thomas Jefferson two centuries ago. The subject: blacks. His observations and conclusions look surprisingly fresh and modern in both the good and bad sense.

For example the first president of the Banana Republic of North America comes to mind when Jefferson states:

They astonish you with strokes of the most sublime oratory....But never yet could I find that a black had uttered a thought above the level of plain narration….He is often happy in the turn of his compliments, and his style is easy and familiar, except when he affects a Shandean fabrication of words. But his imagination is wild and extravagant, escapes incessantly from every restraint of reason and taste, and, in the course of its vagaries, leaves a tract of thought as incoherent and eccentric, as is the course of a meteor through the sky. His subjects should often have led him to a process of sober reasoning: yet we find him always substituting sentiment for demonstration.

The existence of rap and hip-hop seems quite natural, as centuries ago it is observed that blacks:

In music…are more generally gifted than the whites with accurate ears for tune and time, and they have been found capable of imagining a small catch. Whether they will be equal to the composition of a more extensive run of melody, or of complicated harmony, is yet to be proved.

Indeed the verdict is still out.

His most profound observation on them, though, is at the heart of why any kind of social/political/religious agreement or mutual understanding with them is impossible. He writes of them:

They are more ardent after their female: but love seems with them to be more an eager desire, than a tender delicate mixture of sentiment and sensation. Their griefs are transient. Those numberless afflictions, which render it doubtful whether heaven has given life to us in mercy or in wrath, are less felt, and sooner forgotten with them. In general, their existence appears to participate more of sensation than reflection.

Most interesting of all though is Jefferson’s seeming moments of slipping into sentimental leftism that seems a habit of some Whites. For example, of black crime he writes (the very modern looking apologetic):

That disposition to theft with which they have been branded, must be ascribed to their situation, and not to any depravity of the moral sense.

Of course, as their situation has changed much over the past two hundred years while their proclivity towards crime remained unabated, we can see the faulty conclusion of Jefferson’s appraisal. It’s his motivation for writing such that is of interest, though.

In his concluding sentence we can see the all too familiar appeal to religion and a murky notion of “social justice” as Jefferson writes:

The spirit of the master is abating, that of the slave rising from the dust, his condition mollifying, the way I hope preparing, under the auspices of heaven, for a total emancipation, and that this is disposed, in the order of events, to be with the consent of the masters, rather than by their extirpation.

Naturally that can also be read as a warning. Still it’s interesting to see Jefferson do what so many in our own time do in coming to a natural conclusion on the obvious differences in the races, yet flirting with the idea that he wishes it were not so and that it will one day, miraculously, go away.

Like so many Whites of modern North America, Thomas Jefferson makes reasonable deductions based on an abundance of study and observations on the undeniable and profound fact of the multitude of differences in the races, yet still wishes to imagine that it will all resolve itself in some egalitarian utopia at some unspecified future date under some mysterious bit of magical circumstance.

The text is interesting not in so much as it represents a mirror image of our thoughts as modern White Americans, but as more of an old home movie of how those thoughts used to look.

Here it is in full.

Physiognomy and Liking: My Experience

by Happy Cracker

Why is it that the glimpse of a related physiognomy opens so innocently the floodgates of affection? Why is so much of our ‘liking’ dependent on the face of the person we interact with?

I had a chance to ponder this last month, as I filled a temporary position working for a catering company, and interacting with several thousand party guests - each of whom I had to greet, make small talk with, answer their questions and hand them off to be seated. I myself was determined - regardless of the type of person I was interacting with - to be a non-stop fountain of charm. I did my best to smile as wide, and think as warmly of the other person as possible. This is a technique I’ve learned to convey the most positive image to the other person: think about them as warmly as possible. And although I am committed to the 14 words and the existence of my people, I don’t think giving lukewarm receptions to wogs is going to advance the white cause. So I did everything possible to beam charm at everything that came before my eyes. I looked into thousands of faces, always the same eye contact, and performed the same motions thousands of times.

What I discovered is that physiognomy reigns over us - pre-determining the trajectory of our interactions far more than we would like. There are secret stores of human affection whose access is restricted based on physiognomy - and these secret stores don’t represent gifts which one is conscious of, and thus eager to distribute fairly, but primordial feelings of liking, which spring up innocently from within us and are beyond conscious control. They are thus hard to quantify - it is even hard for people to recognize the subtle influence these feelings have on their dealings with others, in the case of people with limited introspection.

The Accusation of Racism

The Accusation of Racism

By Robert Reis

“Race” has been part of the English vocabulary since 1580. 

It applies to a division of mankind possessing traits that are transmissible by descent and sufficient to characterize it as a distinct human type.

“Racism” became part of the English vocabulary in 1936.

The 2007 edition of the WordWeb Dictionary defines “racism” as “the prejudice that members of one race are intrinsically superior to members of other races.”

An Affirmative Action President?

The intelligence of presidential candidates and presidents is the topic of discussion during and after elections. And, it seems that the Left is more enamored with this question than the Right—the same people who deny that intelligence has any real meaning and that if we just got to know people they would all show the same cognitive abilities, but in diverse ways. “We are all equally smart” they will submit.

Along comes Sarah Palin, a nobody, according to the Left, but a popular governor in the eyes of Alaskans. They declare that she is “stupid” because she has not travelled outside of North America, she could not name Supreme Court decisions, and many of her interview questions seemed rehearsed, etc. Are these adequate criteria to formulate how intelligent a person is? I for one read a lot of books where court discussions are discussed, and I will remember the results while forgetting the name of the court decision. Not all intelligent people like travelling, especially those perhaps who enjoy outdoor sports. And of course she has had to be coached; her focus over the last two years has been on Alaskan issues, far away from the Washington scene. But as I suspect she is in fact quite intelligent, at least intelligent enough to be president where ideology is more important than raw intelligence. After all, she would be surrounded by advisors and experts, and her learning curve would be steep.

Silent Racism: How Well-Meaning People Perpetuate the Racial Divide, by Barbara Trepagnier, 2006.

There are two factions that try to explain racial inequality: the equalitarians that deny any differences in the essence of different population groups such as average intelligence, conscientiousness, forethought, etc. and the Jensenist faction that studies heredity, twin studies, correlations between wealth and intelligence, etc. One is anecdotal and non-theoretical without any program to in fact test or try and disprove the theory—they are primarily dialogs about accepted oppression. The psychometricians however are grounded in statistical analysis; developing theories that rely on methodologies that can be disproven or verified based on observable outcomes and collected data. The two are worlds apart in applying the scientific method of narratives versus scientific empiricism.

Trepagnier, with “feminism, racism, and postmodernism” shaping her thinking, writes, “My goal in writing this book is to encourage well-meaning white people to reconsider their ideas about racism. The title, Silent Racism: How Well-Meaning White People Perpetuate the Racial Divide, suggests that concerned whites are implicated in racial problems, including the disparity between blacks and whites. The title also introduces the term silent racism, which raises the question: Why talk about silent racism? After all, if it is silent, how could it possibly matter? [T]he racist thoughts, images, and assumptions in the minds of white people, including those that by most accounts are ‘not racist’—is dangerous precisely because it is perceived as harmless. The silent racism in people’s thoughts, images, and assumptions shapes their perspective of reality. And a perspective that is shaped by racist thoughts, images, and assumptions—no matter how subtle they are—will produce behavior that reflects racist thoughts, images, and assumptions.”

An Honest Conversation About Race.

Linda Chavez wrote an article in the June, 2008 issue of Commentary—the Neocon magazine—entitled Let Us by All Means Have an Honest Conversation about Race. She notes that fewer than 8% of Whites hold negative attitudes about Blacks, while other minorities hold more negative attitudes about Blacks. There is nothing new in this observation—anyone familiar with Kevin MacDonald’s work knows that Whites are the least ethnocentric, but also we know how to behave and be agreeable. Whites are subject to negative implicit attitudes but not explicit attitudes where we are more likely to conform to the diversity/multiculturalism/naïve environmentalism with regards to race.

Again, she points out that non-Whites have higher levels of tension between them than is present between Whites and other races. In fact, “a plurality of blacks would rather do business with whites than with either Hispanics or Asians.” (the poll conveniently left out Jews.) And later, “As against the 10 percent or fewer of American whites who hold negative views of blacks, the same mid-1990’s survey of intergroup attitudes cited above registered over three-quarters of blacks holding negative views of whites.” And yet she notes that Blacks would rather do business with Whites than with other minorities.

Freetown Massacre of the RUF

Warfare as waged by Sub-Saharan Africans is significantly more chaotic and excessively brutal than that which was known historically in Europe. In order to get a taste for what African warfare entails, I catalogued some passages from a 1999 Human Rights Watch report on the RUF’s massacre in Sierra Leone.

Some of the readership will wonder what connection this has to political theory or our situation in the West.  Well, there are several, but let me suggest just one. We have to cultivate a more coarse, and less squeemish sensibility for all things. We have to be able to look every truth in the face, regardless of whether it’s aesthetically pleasing. This is a lesson in itself, to halt the recoil of aesthetic reflexes and digest the ugliness of the world without flinching and without conceptual cushioning. Don’t draw back into your Victorian or Edwardian citadel - these people now live amongst us. Let us, instead, look at them in an unflattering but not uncharacteristic moment, as they slay each other in their natural habitat.

Not in our Genes?

In 1984, Lewontin, Rose and Kamin wrote Not In Our Genes: Biology, Ideology, and Human Nature. I decided to read the book to see how the arguments fared after 23 years of additional research, argument and debate. As it turned out, even for 1984, the arguments against at that time primarily sociobiology were very weak by the authors own admission. That is they don’t argue against genetic influences and racial differences so much as against science itself.

They start out: “Each of us has been engaged for much of this time in research, writing, speaking, teaching, and public political activity in opposition to the oppressive forms in which determinist ideology manifests itself. We share a commitment to the prospect of the creation of a more socially just—a socialist—society. And we recognize that a critical science is an integral part of the struggle to create that society, just as we also believe that the social function of much of today’s science is to hinder the creation of that society by acting to preserve the interests of the dominant class, gender, and race. This belief—in the possibility of a critical and liberatory science—is why we have each in our separate ways and to varying degrees been involved in the development of what has become known over the 1970s and 1980s, in the United States and Britain, as the radical science movement.”

The Mendacity of the Realist

Realist at Inverted World now has a piece about David Duke.  I was disappointed to see this, because per Realist’s comments in his first column I was led to believe he’d be outlining his censorship policies and hoping to get to poke fun at them.  I’ll have to settle for a less interesting subject to poke fun at.

On a personal level I like Realist, he seems a good sort.  That said, he seems to be out to lunch when it comes to logically supporting a position.  The piece is basically a string of fallacies designed to discredit David Duke, and by extension, White Nationalism.

First he reminds the reader of why he created IV - because Amren wasn’t quite philo-Semitic enough for his tastes.  Sure, Amren heavily censors the topic in moderating comments, but the occasional tepid criticism of non-Arab Semites was allowed through to sully the constant philo-Semitism and finally it became too much to bear.  To make matters worse, Jared Taylor didn’t excommunicate Duke for his heresy at the last Amren conference.

Then Realist states his thesis:

Here I will spell out clearly why I think the racial right in America is fundamentally insane.

Clinton-Obama Ticket Stirs Fear in GOP

The possibility that a potential Democratic presidential primary matchup between Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama could lead to a Clinton-Obama ticket is raising concerns in GOP circles that it might be unbeatable.

Hahahahaha!

They’ve got to be kidding.  Is it just me?  Or, is it obvious that Obama as VP would guarantee a Republican victory?

Couple of thoughts:

1) as a Stormfronter pointed out, Obama may be getting all the hype precisely because he’ll make an excellent punching bag for Hillary down the road.
2) Obama is nobody.  His only qualification is that he’s a sambo (or maybe a mulatto).
3) The Republicans probably know all this and this is their B’rer Rabbit routine.
4) The Democrats probably know all this and maybe this is some tactic that isn’t obvious to me.

The Inverted World

A post at Stormfront by Realist from Inverted World has piqued my interest:

I am the Realist, who set up this website. Unlike American Renaissance, I would publish an article critical of Jewish influence on white societies provided it was intellectually defensible. “Intellectually defensible” means that the article would not contain unfounded slanders against Jews. Furthermore, any article that I published would have to concede that much of the commentary about Jews in the white nationalist community, including the whole of Holocaust denial, is sick and evil.

Lawrence Auster’s article ”Why Jews Welcome Muslims” is an example of the sort of thing I would be glad to publish. Another is this entry on Auster’s blog View from the Right.

Auster has spelled out the differences between responsible and irresponsible criticism of Jews here.

Putting aside the not-so-rigorous question of why Auster (an ethnic non-Arabic Semite) has produced all Realist’s examples of acceptable criticism of non-Arabic Semites, I wondered why all such criticism must contain the disclaimer about sick and evil WNism, and invited Realist to stop by MR and comment.  I’m genuinely interested in hearing what he has to say.

He cites Auster as having spelled out the differences between responsible and irresponsible criticism of Jews, so let’s take a look at Auster’s piece (again).

Update: Auster responded (see below).

Old anti-racists just bloody fade away

Steve Jones, the professional professorial race-denier and friend to snails in and out of the Labour Party, has been guiding the insufficiently universalist Telegraph reader away from harmful thoughts.

Stevie-baby is an interesting case.  All through his career he has exemplified the triumph of leftist politics over scientific integrity.  But as the haplotype blocks relinquish their secrets it is becoming much harder for him to operate.  These days he mostly confines himself to soft targets.

He first came to my attention in the late 1990s when BBC Radio 4’s “Today”, always keen for a bit of white-race baiting, regularly turned to him for expert wiseacreage.  He was just required to mouth a few pieties, condemn racism and genetic determinism and kill off all complaint with a few forbidding words like “chromosome” and “mytochondrial”.  The listening audience, presumably floored, was left to embrace the nearest wonderful human being in any skin colour but white.

It’s strange how memory dances around the detail, but I remember one “Today” interview from the late 1990s involving Jones the Gene and an expert, unusually, from the other side of the argument.  The subject was the then-imminent effort to crack the human genome.  I heard the broadcast while on the return leg of the morning school run.  I can remember being caught in traffic in Seaford at the time - not an intellectually stimulating environment.  But I was certainly stimulated when Our Steve’s opponent, whose name I do not recall, caught him cold with a straight right, “The race debate is over,” he said, “Our side is proved to have been right all along.”

Another state, Michigan, has banned affirmative action.

Jennifer Gratz sued the University of Michigan in 1997 for discrimination because she could not attend the university, because preferences were given to minorities. In 2003 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the case that satisfied no one. The university could take race into consideration for the purpose of diversity but could not use rigid formulas to do so.

Since then, Gratz has been active lecturing on the unfairness of affirmative action, and now the public voted for Proposal 2 on November 7. It will amend the State Constitution to “outlaw consideration of race and gender in deciding which applicants get into college, who receives government jobs and what businesses secure state and local contracts.”

Now passed, Michigan will join California and Washington where similar measures passed. Ward Connerly, who helped pass the California initiative, plans to take the initiative to other states now that Michigan has joined. Not surprisingly, “Virtually every religious, political, business and civic organization in Michigan opposes the measure,” as well as both gubernatorial candidates.

Racism would’ve saved her life

STAR’S SUICIDE WAS KILLER COVER-UP

November 7, 2006—In a stunning turnaround, a construction worker yesterday confessed to killing indie actress Adrienne Shelly, whose death in a Greenwich Village apartment last week was first thought to be suicide, cops said.

“I was having a bad day,” illegal immigrant Diego Pillco, 19, allegedly told cops. “I didn’t mean to kill her. But I did kill her.”

Fortunately she wasn’t too high-up in the Chosen Classes (only an “indie actress” after all); otherwise too many of the self-chosen might be forced to consider whether “racism” or “xenophobia” or “anti-immigrant hysteria” might’ve saved her life.
