A Possible Explanation for the Flynn Effect
Richard D. Fuerle
The Flynn Effect, discovered by Richard Lynn (Lynn, 1977) and documented and named for James R. Flynn (Flynn, 1984, 1987), is a world-wide increase in IQ scores of about 3 IQ points per decade. That is, people today score higher on an old IQ test than people the same age did who took the same test decades earlier.
By suggesting the malleability of intelligence and the possibility that tweaking the environment might increase it, the Flynn Effect has raised the hopes of egalitarians, who believe that “all the races are equal in intelligence” (United Nations, 1950; also Flynn, 1999) and fervently want to erase the black-white IQ gap. Unfortunately, the cause of the Flynn Effect has not yet been pinpointed and, until it is, a program cannot be designed that will put the cause of the Flynn Effect to work increasing black intelligence. Moreover, as many experts suspect, the Flynn Effect may be only an increase in IQ scores, not an increase in real intelligence (i.e., the genetic potential for high intelligence), which may actually be declining (Lynn, 1996).
A possible explanation for the increase in IQ scores is that children today mature sooner, both physically and mentally, than children did decades ago (Sarich, 1999). Today’s children score higher, not because their real intelligence has increased, but because their brains are more mature. A 10 year old today has a brain that has grown faster and has more neural connections than the brain of a 10 year old who lived, say, 50 years ago. Because today’s 10 year olds have brains that, perhaps, 12 year olds had 50 years ago, they do better on an IQ test taken by 10 year olds 50 years ago. Psychologists think they are comparing identical groups of children – 10 year olds to 10 year olds, but they are actually comparing apples and oranges – 10 year old brains to 12 year old brains. Real intelligence has not increased, children just acquire it sooner, and fully mature people today may actually be less intelligent than fully mature people were decades ago.
Table 1 (Terman et al., 1973) shows Flynn Effect changes in average IQ scores.
Table 1
ESTIMATES OF THE AVERAGE 1972 IQ SCORES WHEN THE 1972 STANFORD-BINET TEST PERFORMANCE IS REFERENCED TO THE 1937 NORMS
That the maximum increase in IQ scores occurred between the ages of 2-0 and 4-6 is strong evidence that accelerated maturation is responsible for the Flynn Effect because not much else could cause such a large increase in the IQ scores of American children who are that young. The scores fall from age 3-6 to age 10-0, then rise again, consistent with faster maturation to age 3-6, followed by a slowing of the rate of maturation up to puberty and a second acceleration at puberty, which now begins earlier so the effects of the second acceleration start showing up at age 11-0.
The difference between black and white IQ scores is small at a young age, then increases towards adulthood. Lynn (2006, p. 45) reports an average IQ of 92 for 2 year old sub-Saharan Africans (s-S Africans), which drops to 67 by adulthood. (Lynn, 2006, p. 37). There is good evidence that blacks mature faster than whites, and that the black brain matures earlier than the white brain. (Rushton, 2000, pp, 147-150). The greater maturity of 2 year old s-S Africans raises their IQ scores, so they test only 8 IQ points (100 – 92) behind 2 year old whites. By adulthood, however, when both white and black brains are fully mature and therefore at the same level of maturity, the difference in IQ scores is much larger, 33 IQ points (100 – 67). This suggests that lower IQ scores at maturity may be the result of faster maturation, and that the Flynn Effect is due to faster maturation.
Adult female brain size, adjusted for body size, is about 100cc smaller than male brain size (Ankney, 1992; Rushton, 1992) and average adult female intelligence is about 3.63 IQ points (Jackson, 2006) or about 5 IQ points (Lynn, 2006) lower. Up to about age 14, however, faster-maturing girls have identical or higher IQ scores than boys, but after boys have their growth spurt at puberty they catch up and score higher than girls. (Colom, 2004). This also suggests that faster maturation may result in a lower IQ at maturity, and that the Flynn Effect is due to faster maturation.
If IQ scores are lower at maturity, real intelligence has very likely fallen. If it has, the Flynn Effect is not the good news that egalitarians hoped it would be, but is instead ominously bad news because it means that people are becoming less intelligent. The higher fertility of less intelligent people is often given as the reason for a dysgenic drop in real intelligence from one generation to the next (Lynn et al., 2004), but that would not explain a drop in real intelligence within a population as it ages; accelerated maturation would.
The Right Tail Effect
Figure 1 shows the bell-shaped IQ curves for males (blue) and females (red).
Figure 1
(Nyborg, 2005). “General Intelligence” is the number of standard deviations (SDs) above or below the mean IQ of all the test takers; one SD is about 15 IQ points and males have a greater SD than females. “Frequency” times 100 is the percentage of males or females who have the corresponding IQs. “Ratio” is the number of males at an IQ level divided by the number of females at that level.
In Figure 1, the number of males and females is the same (i.e., the total area under the male curve is the same as the total area under the female curve), but there are more males at the high end of the curve (i.e., the area under the male curve above, say, 1 SD is greater). There are two reasons for that: (1) the male mean IQ is higher, which disproportionately increases the number of males at the high end of the curve and reduces the number at the low end. That is, if the male mean is 5% greater than the female mean, the number of males who are above, say, 1 SD will be more than 5% greater than the number of females who are above 1 SD, and (2) the male curve has a greater SD, i.e., fewer males than females are in the middle of their curve and more are at the right and left ends.
The dotted line in Figure 1 is the number of times more males there are than females at each IQ level. The difference between the male and female means and SDs causes the dotted line to rise rapidly as IQ increases, which is the “right tail effect.” Even though the difference between the male and female means and SDs is only a few IQ points, those differences cause a large difference between the number of males and the number of females who have high IQs.
Because the difference between average black IQ and average white IQ is much greater than the difference between average male IQ and average female IQ, and the black SD is less than the white SD (Jensen, 1998, p. 353; La Griffe du Lion, 2000), the black-white right tail effect is greater than the male-female right tail effect (Herrnstein et al., 1994, p. 279). As a result, the number of high IQ blacks is far less than the number of high IQ whites.
The right tail effect is a mathematical result that occurs when any two groups have different means and/or different SDs. The two groups may be tested at the same time, but differ in age, sex, race, etc. (e.g., males and females, blacks and whites), or the two groups may be similar, but tested at two different times (e.g., 10 year olds in 1920 and 10 year olds in 1970). If two similar groups are tested decades apart and the curve with the higher mean is at the later time, then not only will IQ scores be increasing, but high IQ scores will be increasing disproportionately. Also, the increase in the number of high scorers will be matched by an equal decrease in the number of low scorers. In other words, as long as the size and shape of the later curve is the same as the earlier curve, a right tail increase (more high scorers) is matched by an equal left tail decrease (fewer low scorers), and a right tail decrease (fewer high scorers) is matched by a left tail increase (more low scorers).
The Left Tail Effect
A study in Spain (Table 2) shows that the Flynn Effect increased low-end scores much more than high-end scores, i.e., the number of people with low scores decreased more than the number of people with high scores increased.
Table 2
(Colom et al., 2005). The difference between the 1970 and 1999 Raw Scores is shown in the last column.
Those results should immediately raise suspicions about the Flynn Effect because, as explained in the preceding paragraph, if the IQ curve has moved to the right, the decrease in low scorers must be matched by an equal increase in high scorers. Since that did not occur, we know that something else is affecting the scores besides the Flynn Effect.
Similar to the results in Table 2, SAT scores, which correlate 0.8 with IQ scores (Seligman, 1991; Flynn, 1984), dropped at the same time that IQ scores were rising. (Deary, 2001, Chap. 6; Herrnstein et al., 1994, pp. 425-427). If the Flynn Effect is due to an increase in real intelligence then it is difficult to explain why SAT scores would fall at the same time that IQ scores increase. However, if the Flynn Effect occurs because the children taking the test are more mature, then an explanation becomes possible, namely that the children taking the test are both more mature and their real intelligence has fallen.
The IQ tests are taken by everyone, but the SAT takers are a more intelligent subset. If we compare people who took the SAT decades apart, we find that SAT scores are lower. The reason is that real IQ has fallen and, due to the right tail effect, the number of people at the right side of the SAT curve has fallen disproportionately.
On the other hand, if we compare people of the same age who took the IQ tests in the same years that the SAT was taken, we find that IQ scores have increased. The reason is that the test takers who took the more recent IQ test were more mature. Although increased maturity raised the IQ scores of everyone, the decrease in real intelligence disproportionately lowered the number of people at the high end, ergo, rising IQ scores and falling SAT scores and, in Table 2, the number of people with high scores did not increase as much as the number of people with low scores.
The Flynn Effect in Mature Adults
Once the brain is fully mature, there obviously can be no effect on IQ scores due to accelerated maturation. The density of grey matter in the brain increases to age 30 then rapidly declines, but the volume of white matter in the brain does not peak until about age 45. (Sowell et al., 2003). Thus, any increase in the IQ scores of people over those ages cannot be attributed to accelerated maturation. While IQ scores decline somewhat in the elderly (Mortensen et al., 1993; Raven et al, 1998, Graph G1), today’s elderly nevertheless score higher than elderly people did decades earlier. In one study, people of ages 20 to 70 who took an IQ test in 1942 were compared to people of ages 20 to 70 who took an IQ test in 1992. Those who took the 1992 test, including people over 45 and even people who were 70, did better than people the same age did who took the 1942 test. (Raven et al., 1998, Graph G2).
However, between 1900 and 2000 life expectancy at birth for all races and both sexes in the United States increased 63% from 47.3 to 77.0 (CDC, 2006, Table 27). Also, there is a right tail effect because intelligent people live longer than less intelligent people (Hemmingsson et al., 2006; Gottfredson et al., 2004) so, as a population ages, the number of people in the higher IQ percentiles increases disproportionately. In other words, people whose brain is not fully mature have increased IQ scores due to accelerated maturation, and people whose brain is fully mature have increased IQ scores because, while everyone is living longer, more intelligent people live longer than less intelligent people.
The Flynn Effect appears to have stalled or even reversed in Norway and some other countries (Sundet et al., 2004; Teasdale et al., 2005 & 2007). If accelerated maturation, as proposed, is the cause of the Flynn Effect, then in these countries children have stopped maturing earlier, either because the rapidity of maturation has reached a biological limit or because whatever was causing more rapid maturation has diminished or reversed.
Children Mature Earlier
There is considerable evidence that children today mature earlier. “In the abandoned medieval village of Wharram Percy in Yorkshire, the churchyard has yielded hundreds of skeletons for analysis. There ten-year-olds were around 8in shorter than children today: by the time they were fully grown they were nearly as tall as modern adults.” (Roberts et al., 2005).
A 1997 study of 17,000 American girls (Herman-Giddens et al, 1997) and a British study at Bristol University (Golding, 2000) tracked 14,000 children and found one in six girls with signs of puberty by eight years old, compared to one in 100 a generation ago. “The average age at menarche – when periods start – has plummeted over the past 150 years in western societies from around 17 years old down to 12 or 13.” (Macleod, M., 2007). Boys, too, showed an earlier onset of puberty. (Karpati, 2002).
Possible Causes for Earlier Maturation
A number of reasons have been given for the earlier maturation of children. Explanations have included hereditary and diet factors, increases in obesity and body weight, chemicals acting as endocrine disrupters, and the sexualization of children by the media.
An explanation that is consistent with experimental evidence and evolutionary theory is that earlier maturation is due to increased calories. It is known that substantial calorie reduction can extend the maximum life span of a variety of organisms, including monkeys, rats, mice, flies, worms, and yeast, by 30 to 70 percent (Weindruch et al., 1986; Yu et al., 1985). Restricting calories reduces aging in humans, which can be expected to extend life span. (Youngman et al., 1992; Roth et al., 2002; Heilbronn et al., 2003; Masoro, 2005). If reduced calories increase life span, increased calories should shorten life span by accelerating maturation.
That children consume more calories is shown by the increase in childhood obesity, which has been widely publicized and is a major concern. “A multivariate analysis confirms that obesity (as measured by BMI) is significantly associated with early puberty in white girls and is associated with early puberty in black girls as well, but to a lesser extent.” (Kaplowitz et al., 2001; also, Lee et al., 2007).
An earlier maturation, i.e., adapting a more “r” reproductive strategy (Rushton, 2000), when excess calories are consumed over a significant period of time, enables individuals to have more surviving offspring. Conversely, a delay in maturation when food is not available prevents the birth of children who are not likely to survive. The poorly nourished !Kung women of Namibia begin menstruation at 17, while well-fed white Americans begin at 12. (Arsuaga, 2001, p. 218). “Obesity can lead to larger babies …,” increasing the need for Cesarean births, further evidence that increased calories accelerates maturation. (Susman, 2006).
Lynn (1990) has suggested that the Flynn Effect may be due to improved nutrition. Better nutrition, however, implies not just an increase in IQ scores, but that a deficiency in the brain has been remedied, so that real intelligence has increased, which is not consistent with Lynn’s later position that real intelligence has fallen. (Lynn et al., 2004). Given the brain’s first claim on the body’s resources and the absence of supporting data, that hypothesis does not seem likely except for severe nutritional deprivation, which is not applicable to developed countries that have had Flynn Effects. If the Flynn Effect is due to increased calories, however, the Effect would be only the normal age-related increase in intelligence occurring at a younger age.
It is primarily the quantity of food that affects the maturation rate, not its nutritional quality. Indeed, overall nutrition in the industrialized nations may have actually declined because, despite the fortification of milk, cereals, salt, and other foods with vitamins and other nutrients, there is a greater consumption of low-nutritional, but high-calorie, “junk” food and sugary soft drinks.
There is evidence for increased head circumference (Ounsted et al., 1985) and brain weight (Kretschmann et al, 1979) in children, and also for brain weight in adults (Miller et al., 1977). Faster maturation explains the increased head circumference and brain weight in children. The small increase in the brain weight of people whose brains are fully mature is due to (1) the fact that, on average, more intelligent people have larger brains (“r” = 0.44, Lynn, 2006, p. 214) and (2) the increased life span of more intelligent people, resulting in a right tail effect – a disproportional increase in the number of more intelligent mature people, as explained above.
Testing the Proposed Explanation
There are a few ways that the proposed explanation can be tested. Group A are children of several decades ago who at that time had a chronological and maturity age of, say, 10. Group B are children living at the same time as Group A, but they had a chronological and maturity age of, say, 12. Group C are more mature children living today who, compared to Groups A and B, have a chronological age of 10 and a maturity age of 12. Group C takes the same two intelligence tests that Groups A and B took decades ago. The proposed explanation predicts that the scores of Group C will be higher than the scores of Group A due to their increased maturity, but lower than the scores of group B due to their decreased real intelligence.
The proposed explanation also predicts a positive correlation between the increase in IQ scores and the number of years that the age of puberty (and other indicia of maturation) has dropped.
Assuming that increased calories are the principal cause of faster maturation, a similar positive correlation is predicted between yearly increase in calorie consumption (or increase in obesity) and the increase in IQ scores, though there may be a lag time between the two and, of course, the effect will eventually reach a biological limit.
The proposed explanation further suggests that the Flynn Effect should be at a maximum at about the age at which the difference in maturation between the earlier and later test takers is greatest. As suggested by Table 1, a curve plotting maturation differences and the Flynn Effect against age may show two Flynn Effect peaks and two corresponding maturation difference peaks, one for toddlers and the other for teenagers; the toddler maturation difference peak is expected to be greater because the toddler Flynn Effect is greater.

Lindsay, the Indians and dark mestizoes have always been the poorest and commies have been trying to stir them up for decades. Why is it now succeeding? The ethnic factor. It’s not just rich/poor anymore. It’s not just the poor being oppressed: it’s the poor and Indian; it’s the poor and mestizo; it’s the poor and negro. And boy does that resonate with the masses.
Silver writes: “I fall outside the majority phenotype here and Australian racialist nationlists (sic) are not shy to point it out.”
Can Silver give further details about his interactions with “Australian racialist nationalists?” The statement suggests that he has had personal interactions with such nationalists and that, during these interactions, negative comments were made vis-a-vis silver’s physical appearance. Is this an accurate description of what happened? One wonders.
Are there Australian readers here? Can they inform us how prevelant “Australian racialist nationalists” are. How likely is it that a person is going to meet sufficient numbers of said nationalists in the course of daily living so as to form an opinion of their phenotypic preferences?
For the readers who themselves are “racialist nationalists” - Australian, American, European, or whatever - how often have you engaged in conversation individuals you consider outside your group, *and* with whom you’ve criticized their phenotype? I’m trying to figure out how common such occurences are.
Or, did silver interact with these racialist nationalists after specifically seeking them out? Did he attend a nationalist rally or two -perhaps to protest against it - and found himself confronted with angry “nazis?” Or, were these conversations all over the internet and if so, how was silver’s phenotype judged? Or was it simply some online “nazis” commenting against Serbians in general?
It would be helpful to understand these racialist nationalists expressed their disdain for silver’s appearance.
Furthermore, I’m curious how all of this is consistent with the fact that, as far back as the 1970s, Australian “racialist nationalism” had as one leading proponent the ethnically Maltese Azzopardi, and that certain of these racialist nationalists prepared propaganda in Italian and Greek in order to appeal to those ethnics.
The comments on Muslims are interesting as well. Silver asserts that, for him, Islam is the big problem in Australia. He also asserts that the Muslims are hostile to all Europeans, including the ethnics, and not only the Anglo-Australians, He asserts further than white ethnic “disdain” for Anglo-Australia is not deep-seated, but, essentially a response to being picked on. This contrasts to the deep and unbridgeable hostility of the Muslims there to all Europeans. He also asserts that “European wogs” hate the Lebanese.
How does this square with his previous (seemingly enthused) comments on how the white ethnics were likely to “team up with” the Muslims against the Anglo-Australians in the next “beach riot?”
Yes, I know I’m bringing up the “past” there, but it’s for the purposes of clarification.

With respect to silver’s other comments - I don’t want to “offend” GW, by going back to the flaming, but suffice to say I continue to maintain that silver is being intentionally divisive. If Lindsay is “channeling Andy Kaufman” then silver is “channeling” McCulloch. If he asserts “that’s the way things are in Australia,” I’m wondering (assuming it is true) that he understands the differences between descriptive and prescriptive arguments. More to the point, even if it’s true that Anglo-Australians define “white” in the manner silver describes, why is silver obligated to promote that same definition himself - *unless he wants to.*
As well: “white” is obviously a vague term since people are defining it differently. According to the US government, even predominantly Amerindian, dark brown mestizos are “white.” Ben Franklin thought that only the British peoples and Saxon Germans were white, and all the rest of the “colored” Europeans were non-white and lesser than even the “beautiful” red man.
Taylor seems to say “Jews look white to me.” Silver expounds another definition of white, despite the contradictions with his “fears.” Others, such as myself, use white merely as a shorthand for native Europeans - or at least those Europeans that are, or can be, part of the Western “high culture” (excluding Muslims).
With respect to the details of what Taylor wrote many years ago (interesting how silver is so knowledgeable of the most minor details of Taylor’s writing - without being “combative,” this seems like an effort to look for as much evidence as possible to promote division as possible), yes, Taylor’s comments were inaccurate and misleading in that instance. To jump from there and accuse the man of being mendacious - have you, silver, ever contacted him and asked his opinions on these matters? Please do so, and let us know how it works out.
“The author of the piece is unlikely to be an ‘extremist’; he’s probably the average laid-back aussie guy who alternately finds wogs amusing and interesting and ridiculous and repulsive, without ever drawing any political conclusions from his views. The typical aussie SFer, on the other hand, might pragmatically supress voicing his real feelings, but his opinions are politically meaningful. The idea that this crowd will show much interest in a genotype assay of a guido that showed him to be more European than Ian Jobling does not strike me as likely.”
This “crowd” is not the target, I think, of top tier nationalist thought. People who don’t “draw political conclusions” from their “views” are hardly the human material for what is required, with respect to stormfront, anyone who takes that venue seriously cannot themselves be taken too seriously themselves.

They’re losing it, their culture and their race for nothing. For not a damn thing of any value at all.
There is value to the high IQ whites. It’s called money, wealth, riches beyond their wildest dreams. Asset appreciation and suppression of wages through mass immigration transfers wealth to the best and the brightest Aussies with apparently little risk. Let’s guess at the demographics; majority European and disproportionately Jewish? Average family size, three children. Children attend the best schools etc. etc.

“Asset appreciation and suppression of wages through mass immigration transfers wealth to [the élites who are keeping the borders open]” (—Desmond)
Borjas calculates two percent of U.S. gross national product gets transfered yearly from labor to capital thanks to open borders. That’s around, what — 250 billion dollars a year (figuring a thirteen or fourteen trillion dollar economy)? Something like that (correct me if my figures are off). So, two-hundred-and-fifty billion dollars a year gets taken out of working Americans’ hides to be shifted into the bank accounts of thieving degenerate élite swine thanks to the latter’s insistence on keeping the borders open while their pig snouts remain firmly planted in the feeding trough.

I continue to maintain that silver is being intentionally divisive. If Lindsay is channeling Andy Kaufman then silver is channeling McCulloch.
Wait, “divisiveness” is bad? Northern Europeans mustn’t be allowed to separate from Southern Euros? What happened to:
Since survival and feeedom of association are basic human rights, any call to racial justice must include rights to self-determination and separatism.
The idea that silver is a secret Nordicist is, of course, absurd.
Ben Franklin thought that only the British peoples and Saxon Germans were white, and all the rest of the colored Europeans were non-white and lesser than even the beautiful red man.
No. Work on your reading comprehension.
Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? why increase the Sons of Africa, by Planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red? But perhaps I am partial to the Compexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind.
“Red and White” clearly refers to ruddy NW Europeans (as opposed to sallow-complected southern and eastern Euros). Franklin unambiguously describes American aborigines as “wholly” tawny.
Taylors comments were inaccurate and misleading in that instance.
No. Taylor’s comments are perfectly accurate.
Whites (or the Nordish, as Mr. McCulloch calls them, to distinguish northern Europeans from Turks, Arabs, and others who are often called white
This crowd is not the target, I think, of top tier nationalist thought.
Yes, we can’t have racialists choosing their own ingroups in their own countries. We need “top tier” “Sudeuropid” thinkers ruling multi-ethnic empires and stamping out “divisiveness”.

“Red and White” clearly refers to ruddy NW Europeans....”
No, it (at least white) refers ONLY to British and Saxons, and not to Swedes, non-Saxon Germans, and other NW Europeans. There’s that reading comprehension again.
“And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and *Swedes*, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the *Germans* also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. “

No, Taylor didn’t mean what you wish him to mean.
“Yes, we can’t have racialists choosing their own ingroups in their own countries. We need “top tier” “Sudeuropid” thinkers ruling multi-ethnic empires and stamping out “divisiveness”.
That’s an inaccurate description of my views. It may, however, be an accurate view of “Nordish” thinkers such as Mosely, the founders of Nation Europa, as well as SS General Six and others described in “Dreamer of the Day.”
Even Lowell’s ideas allow for regionalism and preservation of particularlisms, which I endorse.

More Franklin:
“And since Detachments of English from Britain sent to America, will have their Places at Home so soon supply’d and increase so largely here; why should the Palatine Boors be suffered to swarm into our Settlements, and by herding together establish their Language and Manners to the Exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion.”
Also, in his “tawny” quote, Franklin is specifically citing “English” per se, and not even other of the peoples of Great Britain. So, he was even narrower than my original statement on that.

I certainly second this suggestion. As much as I appreciate GW’s tolerance and appeal to civility, the childish tantrums of Northerner (and Desmond to a lesser as well as Matra to even a lesser degree) have harmed this site. They have pushed away people like Voice and Rnl, just two examples who benefitted the place. Never mind the utter disrespect they show JW. Northerner definitely fits the “little man” designation and has been a net negative, if not an outright agent provocateur. JW should start his own site...if time and energy allow.

Ol’ Ben seems to be confused about who’s white:
If an Indian injures me, does it follow that I may revenge that Injury on all Indians? It is well known that Indians are of different Tribes, Nations and Languages, as well as the White People. In Europe, if the French, who are White People, should injure the Dutch, are they to revenge it on the English, because they too are White People?

Someone like McCulloch strikes me as infinitely less hypocritical than you.
Evidence?
Where’s your evidence silver is a Nordicist? (And, wait, what happened to ‘silver is a gnxp infiltrator’?) Silver may be a troll, but I doubt he’s operating within the confines of your particular paranoid fantasy of the moment.
Others have thought that Franklin was talking about the Amerindian there.
Then others have been wrong. That’s no excuse for spreading misinformation.
No, it (at least white) refers ONLY to British and Saxons, and not to Swedes, non-Saxon Germans, and other NW Europeans.
Wrong: “the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth.”
Principal. Not exclusive.
As for “Swedes”, I touch on that issue here.
Anyway, the point is not that Franklin was an expert physical anthropologist, but that he thought racially and recognized his natural partiality to those most like him, among whom he counted a subset of (northwestern) Europeans rather than everyone who happened to be born on a particular continent.
No, Taylor didn’t mean what you wish him to mean.
You read minds now? Taylor’s words are perfectly logical and internally consistent. If you have evidence he meant something other than what he wrote, let’s see it.
Even Lowell’s ideas allow for regionalism and preservation of particularlisms, which I endorse.
That’s mighty big of Lowell. I’m sure the English and Germans and Dutch, will be eternally grateful that some Maltese is willing to allow them to preserve “regionalism” and “particularisms”.

“Someone like McCulloch strikes me as infinitely less hypocritical than you.”
I don’t doubt you prefer McCulloch. The last part of your sentence is amusing, to say the least.
“Where’s your evidence silver is a Nordicist?”
That’s one possibility, and not the only one (re: GNXP). Interesting that a “Serbian fearful of ‘militant Nordicism” seems to quote in agreement, almost verbatim, that he fears as his own opinion, but I guess to note that is “paranoia.” I can’t help but notice as well that, after his frequent posting of the last several days, he’s vanished after being asked a few “polite” questions. What’s wrong, silver? Being an Australian with such an intimate knowledge of “racialist nationalism” there, you really need several days to formulate an answer?
Or, here is the answer: silver has been attacked by “Australian racialist yobs” screaming “get the Serbian wog” and is now recovering. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Hope you get better, real soon.
And, now, no silver, and this debate is taking place. Yes, nothing strange about any of that.
“Then others have been wrong. That’s no excuse for spreading misinformation.”
Perhaps these “others” have based their opinion on other writings on Franklin.
“Principal. Not exclusive. “
That’s nitpicking. He did specifically cite Swedes and Germans as among the “swarthy.”
“Anyway, the point is not that Franklin was an expert physical anthropologist, but that he thought racially and recognized his natural partiality to those most like him, among whom he counted a subset of (northwestern) Europeans...”
The point: a very exclusive subset, indeed.
“...rather than everyone who happened to be born on a particular continent. “
Or, who happened to be born on the NW corner of that continent?
“You read minds now? Taylor’s words are perfectly logical and internally consistent. If you have evidence he meant something other than what he wrote, let’s see it.”
A guy who thinks Jews are white is unlikely to have given the meaning you ascribe to him. Or the invisible silver either.
“That’s mighty big of Lowell. I’m sure the English and Germans and Dutch, will be eternally grateful that some Maltese is willing to allow them to preserve “regionalism” and “particularisms”.
Lowell has a plan for Europe that does include preserving particularisms. That’s more than one can see for the non-Maltese “Europe as a nation” crowd (including English and Germans) during and after WWII, or the non-Maltese globalist internationalists who are destroying Europe and the West.
But, “of course” - Lowell is a phenotypically non-"Nordish" Maltese of mixed European descent; therefore, his ideas must be mocked.

If I’m not mistaken, this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Atlantic-Cousins-Benjamin-Franklin-Visionary/dp/1560256680
claims that Franklin was referring to the “red man” (i.e., the Amerindian) and believed that America belonged to both the “white man” (English and Saxons) as well as the “red man” (Amerindians). Using Google can find others with this interpretation, or misinterpretation, as the case may be.
That’s a minor point.
The main point with Franklin is that his definition of “white” – in that quote - was more exclusive than even that of the most exclusive definitions of today. In addition, Franklin was very much concerned about those “swarthy” ethnic Germans who were not assimilating in Pennsylvania. Although, “silver”, he didn’t call them “wogs,” merely “palatine boors.”
Eventually the Germans did assimilate (1930’s Bund activities disregarded), but that more than a century later, after the mid 19th century influx was completely “digested.”
I’m not a mindreader and Taylor can speak for himself – and should. However, he does seem to consider Jews to be “white;” I see no evidence that he would consider Southern (or Eastern) Europeans as non-white. The whole point with Taylor is “silver’s” claim that Taylor himself is being “mendacious” in his beliefs, and that the quote from Taylor reflects Taylor ’s own opinion (not what McCulloch “thinks"). Until such time as Taylor says differently, Taylor’s other statements over the years suggests that “silver” is wrong.
Armadillo and Guido, yes, at some point I would like to set up my own blog and have discussed the issue with several people. Unfortunately, I do not have the time currently to do this in the appropriate fashion. I don’t want to do anything half-assed, or set something up and then not have the time to actually post. That’ll have to wait.

The other thing about Franklin’s seeing Swedes and non-Saxon Germans as swarthy is: Sweden held lots of territory on continental Europe at various times in her history, and doubtless some of those vast tracts were home to less-fair types of Euro, especially if we’re talking about recruits or mercenaries from far-flung Swedish possessions one might see in “Swedish” armies of the period. Could this latter idea also explain “swarthy Germans”? Americans of Franklin’s generation saw plenty of Hessian mercenaries hired by the British. Where those foreign-legion-type units made up of all Hessian Germans without a single Turk in them, for example?

My brother, who is sympathetic to White Nationalism, was incredulous that people like Noridicists who claim that Southern and SE Euros are not White even existed at all. He flat out stated that he had never heard of that and these people were complete idiots. Genetically, Iranians, Kurds, people of the Caucasus, Georgians, Armenians, Jews, Turks, Azeris, and even the people of the Levant and Mesopotamia are all obviously White. In fact, an Iranian is closer genetically to a British or Dane than an Italian or Basque is. Also, a case can be made for throwing the Sardinians, Basques and Lapps out the Euro-White Race (I would call it the European-Iranian Race).
Phenotypically, I often have a hard time determining if the Punjabis so numerous around here are White or Indian. A lot of them look like Whites, say Jews or Italians. I am amazed that Anglo Australians would discriminate against “wogs”. There is no discrimination whatsoever against these people here in the US - there was at one point but that’s long past. I also have a hard time telling the difference between a Hispanic and a “White” anymore around here. A lot of the Hispanics don’t really look much different than I do, and most of the Whites around here are Armenids or Meds anyway. An awful lot of the Hispanics here are mostly White - so White they just look like Euros. If you can’t even tell the difference - why is race so important in this case?
If the Latin American Indians, Blacks, Zambos, mulattos and mestizos are disproportionately poorer and the lighter people are disproportionately Whiter, they we will have to redistribute the lighter people’s ill-gotten wealth to the darker folks. That’s sort of the case all over the world. If you want to call that racialism, go ahead. I assure that in Latin America, there are many lighter folks, even folks that are about as White-looking as I am, among the poor and low-income. And in a lot of those countries there are darker folks among the rich and high-income. So things are not so clearcut.
A lot of the folks you guys call White down there are not. The Chileans and Argentines are about 15-25% Indian on average.
No, you do not have freedom of association and neither do Blacks. I mean, you can talk to whoever you want to, but you can’t refuse business to people or not sell them a house or hire them for a job if they are not White. There are plenty of mostly-White communities in the US where you folks should be plenty happy. Some towns in the Sierra Nevada Mts. where I spend a lot of my time are mostly-White. There are some Hispanics moving in but not many. There are a few Punjabis and Chinese running businesses. Why isn’t that good enough? Is your whole day wrecked if you see one Hispanic or Punjabi?
To Svigor, I have talked to those who lived in Mozambique under the great Samora Machel. They told me you could walk across the capital Maputo at any time of day or nite and not fear a thing. This is not so much due to police state (a lot of Latin American capitalist states are far harsher on crime than the Cubans) but is due to crime falling under socialism and rising under capitalism. Crime has deep roots in capitalism. This is well-known sociological fact. Amazing you were not aware of that or that you deny it.
Dominica has a low homicide rate (2.4) - about 40% the US rate, and the place is all Black and the US is only 13% Black. There is not that much wealth disparity in Dominica and this may account for the low Black crime.
High Black crime rates are common but not inevitable by any means.
There are hardly any pure races on Earth. All races and ethnic groups have been changing racially for most of their existence, so innumerable races and micro-races have gone extinct over time. What’s the big deal? It’s a normal phenomenon; it’s not the end of the world.
I don’t hate Whites at all; actually I am proud to be White, as all races and ethnicities should be proud to be what they are. Scrooby gets that, but the rest of you actively dislike all other races and think they are inferior. It’s more the case that I do not care about my race and it’s future one bit. Plus panmixia will get rid of this pure race nonsense that is dangerous among Whites because it gives rise to guys like you. It’s going to be a lot harder to push WN when the Whites of this country are 20% Indian and 3% Black, which is the future for sure. Plus, Whites mixing with Asians produces a superior stock.

I am amazed that Anglo Australians would discriminate against “wogs”.
At the official level they did not discriminate against them. The fact that huge numbers of southern and eastern Europeans were allowed into the country in the first place during the ‘White Australia’ policy says it all. Of course there would be discrimination at the every man level as tribalism is natural.
In the case of Australia the country wasn’t that old when other Europeans flooded in. Britain was not a distant memory. Australians were mostly of a working class English background and saw themselves - correctly - as the founding stock of their young nation. Ties to the UK were stronger there than in some other ‘White Dominions’. Due to its late development, relative to North America, a significant proportion of Aussies had relatives in the old country. Other than Aussie Rules, which was not played much in NSW and Queensland, the sports mad Australians played English sports, something that to this day gives most Aussie and British/Irish men more common reference points than either have with North Americans. Importantly these sports did not include the global game of soccer, just the empire games. In Canada, in contrast, non-British sports and culture dominate so Canadians think continentally - Europe, including Britain, is foreign to them. The Italian-Canadian who follows hockey, watches US network TV, eats chicken wings and speaks with the same accent is more recognisable to the average Anglo-Saxon Canadian than his ethnic kin in the UK. (I’ll leave out the question of whether the average Italian-Canadian returns the favour, so to speak). Canada’s unique ‘French fact’, as it is known, was also used to weaken the Anglo-Saxon Canadian identity a problem Anglo-Australia didn’t have.
Also, North Americans moved west and forgot about the other side of the Atlantic much earlier. With only one great river system (with limited damming capacity) Aussies remained on the coasts. The Pacific and Indian Oceans were more important to Australia than any internal river system so unlike the Canadians they continued to look outward to what was left of the empire and later the commonwealth and, naturally, the Mother Country.
To the Anglo-Australian the ‘wogs’ just seemed (seem?) more foreign than similar immigrants did in the US and later on in Canada.

It goes beyond that to absorption and then extinction as Darwin outlined in the Descent of Man.
The example of Alexa Ray Joel is interesting. Offspring of Billy Joel and Christine Brinkley.
A beautiful woman in her own right but where is her mother in Alexa Joel. She is white, but where are her mother’s unique features? Her hair colour and and texture differs. Her skin colour, lips and eyes all differ from her mother’s. And as the dominant genes grow in population and intermarriage occurs, then inevitably the Nordic features of her mother will disappear; will be totally absorbed and made extinct.

“Genetically, Iranians, Kurds, people of the Caucasus, Georgians, Armenians, Jews, Turks, Azeris, and even the people of the Levant and Mesopotamia are all obviously White.”
If by “white” you mean Caucasian, yes, if by “white” you mean European, no. GW specifically has created a blog for European man, so you are, as usual, incorrect.
“In fact, an Iranian is closer genetically to a British or Dane than an Italian or Basque is.”
Bullshit. First, stop misinterpreting the Cavalli-Sforza data. Second, a quick glance at the table from Salter’s paper, which is based on the CS data, show, for example, Italians and Basques as closer to English than are Iranians. I know of no other study than CS (which I believe, if I remember correctly, was not really with neutral markers) that puts Iranians as close to Europeans, and that is what is probably skewing the EC-NEC “child equivalents” of Salter to underestimate the distance to NECs.
As usual, you haven’t the slightest idea what you are talking about.
“Also, a case can be made for throwing the Sardinians, Basques and Lapps out the Euro-White Race”
Lapps are mixed. Basques are likely “more European” than anyone else, and Sardinian differences are likely due to genetic drift. That doesn’t mean those differences should be disregarded, on the contrary, but it doesn’t mean they are not European.
Evidence for your stupidity?
“(I would call it the European-Iranian Race).”
Stop with the Iranians. Even Nei and Roychoudhury back in 1993 showed that Iranians were genetically branching off before Europeans, and were more distant than even North Indians. Cavalli-Sforza showed Iranians as somewhat closer, but there’s no data of more recent vintage that put Iranians with Europeans.
“Phenotypically, I often have a hard time determining if the Punjabis so numerous around here are White or Indian. A lot of them look like Whites, say Jews or Italians.”
Again, bullshit. You think you are the only one who has experienced Punjabis and other “northern” South Asians? They don’t look like Jews and Italians, and if you are too stupid to tell the difference, others can. By the way, ultimate interests are genetic, not phenotypic.
“I also have a hard time telling the difference between a Hispanic and a “White” anymore around here. A lot of the Hispanics don’t really look much different than I do, and most of the Whites around here are Armenids or Meds anyway.”
Your subjective opinion of what you think people look like doesn’t change what they actually are.
“An awful lot of the Hispanics here are mostly White - so White they just look like Euros. If you can’t even tell the difference - why is race so important in this case?”
First, that’s based upon your poor eyesight. Second, some of them may be predominantly Iberian, which doesn’t alter the mestizo and Amerindian majority. Do you think you are the only one with experience with Hispanics? Third, I’m interested in genetics - you know, the subject you obviously know nothing about.
“A lot of the folks you guys call White down there are not. The Chileans and Argentines are about 15-25% Indian on average.”
Who are the “you guys” who call Chileans and Argentines “white?” That was JJR who did that and the rest of us argued *against* it. Get your facts straight.
“No, you do not have freedom of association and neither do Blacks. I mean, you can talk to whoever you want to, but you can’t refuse business to people or not sell them a house or hire them for a job if they are not White.”
What an utter imbecile, who cannot distinguish a descriptive from a prescriptive argument. Of course, whites have no freedom of association (but minorities, de facto, do). The point is - SHOULD they have?
Idiot.
“There are plenty of mostly-White communities in the US where you folks should be plenty happy. Some towns in the Sierra Nevada Mts. where I spend a lot of my time are mostly-White.”
I see. We should be chased away by minorities. And, guess what, they always eventually follow. How many people have “fled” town after town, being “chased” by the coloreds?
“There are some Hispanics moving in but not many.”
Case in point. In 5 years you’ll have the gangbangers there.
“There are a few Punjabis and Chinese running businesses. Why isn’t that good enough? “
Let’s see. No freedom of association. No stability - as soon as the coloreds “discover” an area, it’s done, and since there is no “freedom of association”, we cannot keep them out. We’ll be living in an increasingly non-white nation in which the coloreds, teamed up with anti-white racist reactionaries like Lindsay, can have political control. Kiss those white areas goodbye once colored America wants that living space. And, of course, why should we be herded onto de facto reservations and yield control over America to coloreds? That didn’t work to well for the Amerindians, did it?
By the way, how did seclusion work out for Randy Weaver?
“Is your whole day wrecked if you see one Hispanic or Punjabi?”
“There are hardly any pure races on Earth.”
Irrelevant. Genetic distinctiveness is what’s important, not “purity.” It’s the white haters who bring up the purity strawman, not us. Guess what, no matter how much you wash (if you do), you’ll always have microbes on your body. Should you then be oblivious to MRSA or Ebola?
“All races and ethnic groups have been changing racially for most of their existence, so innumerable races and micro-races have gone extinct over time.”
European man has existed for tens of thousands of years, natural changes due to selection, drift, or migration of similar peoples are one thing. Race replacement genocide is another.
“What’s the big deal? It’s a normal phenomenon; it’s not the end of the world.”
Good - if genocide and racial extinction is no big deal, let’s start with the Africans, Asians, Latinos, etc. Then we’ll see where we are at, OK?
“I don’t hate Whites at all; actually I am proud to be White, as all races and ethnicities should be proud to be what they are.”
So, you don’t care about the extinction of the group you are proud to belong to. Got it.

Liar. Evidence?
“It’s more the case that I do not care about my race and it’s future one bit”
But you are proud.
“Plus panmixia will get rid of this pure race nonsense that is dangerous among Whites because it gives rise to guys like you.”
Idiot and liar. You are the one bringing up “purity.” We are talking about preserving what exists - environmentalism and all that.
“It’s going to be a lot harder to push WN when the Whites of this country are 20% Indian and 3% Black, which is the future for sure. “
20% Indian? Idiot.
“Plus, Whites mixing with Asians produces a superior stock.”
Untrue. You are also a lousy accountant for not balancing cost and benefit.

Perhaps these “others” have based their opinion on other writings on Franklin.
There is no room for dispute. Mistakes happen. But no reasonably literate and impartial person would hold to the “Red must mean Indian” interpretation after reading the passage in question closely. Pointing to a book that possibly promotes that misinterpretation does nothing besides maybe discredit the book.
That’s nitpicking.
No. That’s accuracy. England and Germany are/were the most populous northwestern European nations.
He did specifically cite Swedes and Germans as among the “swarthy.”
It’s not really news that some Germans are dark (though probably never as dark as your cheering section “Voice”, the swarthy pretend Minnesota German farmer whose imaginary sister is frequently mistaken for an Arab by hateful Anglo-Saxons). And the “Swedes” Franklin was familiar with may have been largely Finnish.
A guy who thinks Jews are white is unlikely to have given the meaning you ascribe to him.
Taylor said Jews “look” white to him, which is an interesting word choice considering he was (I believe) asked his opinion on whether or not Jews “are” white. While I’m thinking Taylor has since been more direct in claiming Jews are white (in print), the talk show response was interpreted by some as suggesting his true beliefs lie elsewhere.
The whole point with Taylor is “silver’s” claim that Taylor himself is being “mendacious” in his beliefs, and that the quote from Taylor reflects Taylor ’s own opinion (not what McCulloch “thinks"). Until such time as Taylor says differently, Taylor’s other statements over the years suggests that “silver” is wrong.
Taylor chose to substitute “white” for “Nordish”. From the context, it is impossible to argue Taylor’s “white” (in this review) includes southern Europeans. Taylor concludes McCulloch’s “book is an important contribution”. I agree this does little to prove Taylor is “mendacious” when he claims to take a more liberal view of who is “white”, but I seem to recall you used to have anxieties similar to silver’s. My impression is you decided to start LE because people looked at you funny at NA meetings. (Or did you overhear some Italian jokes?) Strange that you insist we should take Taylor at his word (which I generally agree we should), when previously you felt compelled to organize around the idea that public proponents of “Pan-Aryanism” were secretly planning pogroms against southern Euros.
I don’t find the “who is white?” question particularly interesting or enlightening. Naming something doesn’t generate information about it, much less change its essence. However broadly or narrowly one defines “white”, the genetic facts on the ground will remain the same. The Mexican is still a mestizo even when the DOJ functionary or census taker checks the box that says “white”. Armenians and Jews and southern Italians are distinct from northern Europeans.

Norman Lowell’s ideas deserve to be mocked for many reasons having nothing to do with his race. His scheme is overreaching, impractical, vaguely comical. Not sure how you believe bringing up failed 20th century northern European fascists make it less absurd for a long-haired Mediterranean islander to be drawing up plans for world government in the present.

Larch: I would like to point out that the majority of Americans nowadays who are not race-obsessed loons like you guys have a hard time telling many Hispanics from Euro-Whites, especially the Meds.
Most people are proud of their ethnicity, yet also willing to miscegenate it away like me. No contradiction there at all. I don’t think White people are evil or bad or any of that. I’m just in love with panmixia.
Whites have not been in Europe for 10,000’s of years. The original Whites were probably those Lapps that you say are not White, because they are 7% Asian. I wonder then if you will also disown the Russians, who are 5% Asian? You say that you support your race on genetic grounds, but on those grounds you are mandated to toss the Sardinians at the very least. Are you prepared to do that or not?
See my article The Major and Minor Races of Mankind in which I delineate 6 major races and 86 minor races. For the Euros, I could only justify a race called European-Iranian Race on genetic grounds. I ruled out Basques on the basis of C-V’s principle coordinates chart, which shows Basques outside the circled Euro race group, which the Iranians are firmly inside of, BTW. Notice that Iranians are clearly inside that little circle called Europeans and also note that Iranians are closer to English and Danes than Italians or Basques are on that PC chart. Iranians are closer to Italians than Basques are, yet you include Basques in the Euro race but not the Iranians.
If as Taylor says the Ashk Jews are White, and most would say the Armenians are White, then the Kurds and Turks must also be White, because all those groups are closely related. We also need to include the Caucasus people and the Georgians. Nor could I rule out the people of the Levant and Mesopotamia - they had to go in the same group.
White have not been evolving in Europe for 10,000’s of years. The Caucasians of 10,000 years ago do not look like modern Europeans - they look more like people of the Middle East - the ones you say are not White. If that is true, you can’t claim anyone back further than 10,000 years. Also the White skin you love so much only goes back 9,000 years.
There is no way to genocide the Latinos because no way is that any kind of a race at all anymore than mutt is a breed of dog. That group has everything but the kitchen sink tossed into it in all different combinations. Everyone knows that Latino is not any kind of a race at all. Africans in the US are already genocided - they are on average 17.5% White and 3% Black - they are history and they are also a model of what need to be done to Whites in the US. Many Asians are already mixtures of all sorts of stocks. The vaunted Japanese must be the most mutt race on the Earth - yet they hilariously believe they are the most pure. Laughable!
Yes, I think in the future, US Whites will be 15-25% Amerindian and maybe 3% Black on average. Then we will just be another part of Latin America. And US WN’s will become extinct also.
BTW, as long as you could care less about phenotype and only go by genes, on what possible basis you include the radial outlier Sardinians (as far from the rest of Europeans as Saudi Arabians, Bedouins, Yemenis and Kuwaitis are) in the European genetic group, all the while tossing out the much closer Jews, Turks, Kurds, Armenians, Caucasus types, Iranians, Georgians, and Arabs of Levant and Mesopotamia?
The Hispanics have been there in that White town in significant #’s for 4 1/2 years, but there are no gangs yet.
Minorities do not have freedom of association meaning to discriminate in services, housing or schooling either. No one in the US does, thank God.

If not, I have no reason to be here.
That’s not necessarily true, Daniel.
Race, like many other factors liberalism routinely ignores or downplays, matters and ought to be sensibly discussed. A consquence of racial questions being popularly shunned is a tendency among those who are willing to discuss them forthrightly to assume greater ideological and terminological agreement between interlocutors than really exists. In the case of MR, this seems to have led to the more disputatious being able to overstate their positions relatively unchecked, in the process driving away more nuanced interlocutors. Nonetheless, that, say, Fred Scrooby or “larch” or “name” or even Tom Sunic or Jared Taylor may not be the most effective proponents of their cause—perhaps they do not know their own people as well as they imagine— ought not to dissuade others whose interests are aligned (however imperfectly) from contributing or exchanging ideas.

Lindsay, I’m not here to teach you the past 13 + years of population genetics since the Cavalli-Sforza book came out. CS is the *only* reference - using quesionable markers - that places Iranians that close to Europeans. Since human genetic variation is clinal as well as clustered, it’s unlikely in the extreme for “Iranians to be closer to Italians than Basques,” particularly since Rh- Italians (and other Europeans) may have some ancient “Basque” ancestry.
“BTW, as long as you could care less about phenotype and only go by genes, on what possible basis you include the radial outlier Sardinians (as far from the rest of Europeans as Saudi Arabians, Bedouins, Yemenis and Kuwaitis are) in the European genetic group, all the while tossing out the much closer Jews, Turks, Kurds, Armenians, Caucasus types, Iranians, Georgians, and Arabs of Levant and Mesopotamia? “
You are going by one outdated study, used by Salter ONLY because it is the only one (yet!) that has all these populations together and ONLY to make points about relative genetic distances. It is admitted that it’s not the final word.
Virtually EVERYTHING you are saying about genetics and racial history is wrong. Ironically, that would make you well qualified to be a white nationalist activist; the point is, however, there’s a whole world of study that you know nothing about.
Believe me, Lindsay, others on this thread know infinitely more about population genetics than you do.
Enter stage left. silver, who, instead of admitting he’s wrong about Taylor continues libeling him and know it seems, adds Tom Sunic to the list. If anyone is mendacious here, it is you, silver. Lots of unanswered questions being ignored, no?

“White have not been evolving in Europe for 10,000’s of years. “
Ever hear of the Paleolithic?
“The Caucasians of 10,000 years ago do not look like modern Europeans - they look more like people of the Middle East...”
Lindsay has photographs. It’s irrelevant even if true, genetic interests are forward looking.
“If that is true, you can’t claim anyone back further than 10,000 years.”
Idiot. A white today is going to be genetically closer to those ancients than to a negro of today. There is zero genetic overlap in today’s major races.
“Also the White skin you love so much only goes back 9,000 years. “
Juvenile and irrelevant.
“There is no way to genocide the Latinos because no way is that any kind of a race at all anymore than mutt is a breed of dog.”
Huh? Who’s saying that? They are genociding us.
“Africans in the US are already genocided - they are on average 17.5% White and 3% Black....”
Right. 3 % Black. Got it. And they are 80% Martian.
“vaunted Japanese must be the most mutt race on the Earth - yet they hilariously believe they are the most pure. Laughable!”
Evidence? Koreans, Japanese, and North Chinese form a fairly tightly clustered group.

A last word to Lindsay: if even Ashkenazi Jews can be genetically distinguished from Europeans (which they have recently started to have been), and if these Jews are of part European ancestry (the extent of which is yet unknown, likely less than half), then, obviously, the other Middle/Near Eastern groups you cite will be even more likely to be (more easily and more distantly) separated.
And we have the following; compare the Europeans (which contain Basques and Sardinians) to Parsis and Punjabis. Also note the high “orange-yellow” in the Middle Easterners (and not in the Europeans), which also suggests that more markers would be able to separate them from the Europeans (just as the South Asians became separated from the Caucasian group by the inclusion of more markers):
http://genetics.plosjournals.org/archive/1553-7404/2/12/figure/10.1371_journal.pgen.0020215.g002-L.jpg
At this point, armadillo’s and Guido’s statements about “time wasting” become more to the point.
By the way, Lapps are more than 5% Asian, and, yes, minorities de facto are allowed to discriminate against whites.

Instead, someone who initially came forth as a white-hating Pakistani, and is now a “Serbian” claiming to be mocked by illusory Australian “racialist nationalists” is exactly the sort of “effective proponent” we need.
“perhaps they do not know their own people as well as they imagine”
No, Sunic, a real Croatian, “knows his people” better than a Pakistani-Serbian knows anything.

According to the various charts in C-S’s book, the Iranians cluster close to Europeans in general and some Euros in particular. On the PC chart, they are closer to Brits and Danes than Italians are. On the tree chart, they can’t be differentiated - Yugoslavs are much more of an outlier, and even they cannot be split off. On the distance chart, they are close enough to Italians to be included in Euros. Using tree charts in C-V, nor can the people of the Caucasus, Turks, Kurds, Jews or Levant and Mesopotamian Arabs - and Yugoslavs are more of an outlier than any of these groups. No way can you include Sardinians in any White race and C-S’s PC chart makes Basques difficult to support. On what basis then do you include Yugoslavs and Sardinians in Euro race.
Lapps are 7% Asian and that is it. Russians are 5% Asian. Why are Russians included but Lapps not?
Euro skulls from 10,000 years ago do not look like Europeans today. They look like the Middle Easterners you guys insist are not White. The Lapps you insist are not White are some of the only living relatives of people going back anywhere near that far. Otherwise we are getting into Berbers and people like that.
US Blacks are 3% Amerindian.
I don’t care about your color chart. I’m just measuring genetic distance in my piece. Sufficient distance on PC chart, or 150 or more on the distance chart was usually enough to split a race. Which I was not able to do with Caucasus, Turks, Kurds, Jews or Levant and Mesopotamian Arabs, therefore, to me they are in one race with Euros. Berbers, Algerians, Arabians, Yemenis, Kuwaitis, Bedouins, South Indians, even Pashtuns and Punjabis, were the Caucasians outside the Euro race. Plus the Basques and Sardinians you guys toss in there on no basis whatsoever.
The truth is that your sick, wicked, diabolical racial nationalism doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense at all! You can’t even agree on who the White people are! What a joke. Is it phenotype? Well, no you say. So is it genes? Not if Sardinians get tossed in. Well, then is it geographical? Nope, there’s Lapps and Sardinians and Basques.
Armenians, Georgians and the people of the Caucasus are not White!? Wow, the mind boggles!

Lindsay continues to repeat the same things over and over again, ignoring my comments on the CS data, ignoring the irrelevancy of the past to future genetic interests, talks about “skulls” and “phenotype” when I’m talking about genetics - and then tells us that he’s basically going to ignore my “color chart.”
In other words, only outdated data that support his position will be considered. All else ignored, and the same statements repeated over and over and over again - with arguments ignored.
back to the JJR days.
“Not if Sardinians get tossed in”
I’ve already explained this. I’m not going to repeat myself endlessly, and post data here if it is going to be completely ignored.
“Lapps are 7% Asian and that is it. Russians are 5% Asian. Why are Russians included but Lapps not? “
Lapps are more than 7% Asian. If you’d bother to look at Nei and Roychoudhury and the Jensen remix of that data published in Amren ten years ago by Whitney, you’d see that Lapps are genetically more distant from Europeans than even North Indians.
I can keep on saying that the CS data are, to some extent and particularly on the details, outdated.
But a reactionary like Lindsay just loves outdated data.
“Euro skulls from 10,000 years ago do not look like Europeans today. They look like the Middle Easterners you guys insist are not White.”
Hey, I thought that Middle Easterners and whites were the same race? So, what’s the difference? The idiot can’t even get his own lies straight.
“The Lapps you insist are not White are some of the only living relatives of people going back anywhere near that far.”
Basques, idiot.
“Otherwise we are getting into Berbers and people like that. “
They are north African.
“US Blacks are 3% Amerindian.”
Congratulations.
“I don’t care about your color chart.”
That says it all. Scientific inquiry at its best. Reactionary closemindedness.
Goodbye, I’m done with this thread.

Daniel, is it legitimate to resist changing all Yorkshiremen into Italians? If yes, you should have no objection to “Northerner’s” views. He’s personally sullen and disagreeable but the position he’s taking is unassailable. It makes no difference if he sees Italians as wogs or if Scimitar and Benjamin Franklin consider only sons of the British Isles “white.” Why in the world do you care about that? Just stand your ground, man! I’m a wog in the eyes of Desmond, Benjamin Franklin, and Scimitar. “The wogs begin at Calais,” remember? So fricking what??? RACIAL PRIDE IS NORMAL. Do you have it? Then let others have it. What do you want, a world where people run around self-abnegating themselves unto group extinction like foolish Christians while their race enemies, such as the Jews, look on unable to believe their luck laughing their asses off at how easy it was to get rid of the stupid schmucks? I’ll say this, Daniel: Meds with fragile Med egos aren’t good for The Cause. That’s why someone like Dienekes is of next-to-zero help: the fragility of his Med ego.
This site is the proper place for you if you’re a Euro. Know that no matter what your race, you’ll be among other Euros who consider you a member of an inferior race. So fricking what??? Germans think Poles are an inferior race. Frenchmen think Walloons are an inferior race. I think Irish Catholics are an inferior race. Greeks consider all non-Greeks an inferior race. Great, we all think everyone else is an inferior race! I LOVE WHEN THAT HAPPENS! IT’S REFRESHING! IT’S HEALTH, NORMALNESS, THE OPPOSITE OF THIS ELOI BEHAVIOR WHERE EVERYONE MARCHES ZOMBIE-LIKE TO HIS OWN EXTINCTION THE INSTANT THE JEWISH MORLOCKS SOUND THE SIREN! Just stiffen yourself, man, and don’t worry about being called “non-white” or “wog” or whatever! You are what you are!

“White” is only a label, important to American WNs for understandable but strategically negative reasons.
All Europeans are white. But the doctrine of clusters and clines commends a degree of caution in the further ascription of whiteness. That said, the two terms are not mutually defining. To be European is not to be just white anyway, but part of the continental European peoples, defined only broadly as Nordic, Mediterranean and Slavic. Throughout the old continent, it is the downstream definitions of ethny and territory which matter.
On continental Europe, of course, there is no controversy in ethnic survival as opposed to the survival of the greater group. Indeed, each ethny must make its own effort to survive, though the survival of any one is exemplary for all, and a defeat for the proponents of extinction.
The vital difference between this situation and the schismatic tragedy of WN is that American have perforce constructed a flimsy and unserviceable alternative to ethny: whiteness. There is thusfar no evidence that Europeans can survive as “whites”: a mere label. And yet there is insufficient genetic similarity, it seems, to bestow nepotism upon the Nordic, Mediterranean and Slav alike.

There does not need to be one, because there’s nothing wrong. This isn’t the first time Daniel has been too sensitive. Buck up, Daniel! The same Swedes who think Italians are inferior think Norwegians are inferior. Do the Norwegians look bothered? Doesn’t seem that way. The same Dutchmen who think Italians are inferior think Friesians are inferior, the same Russians who think Italians are inferior think Poles and Ukrainians are inferior. The Poles and Ukes think Russians are inferior right back. What’s the problem? On the contrary, it’s all a sign of pefect good health, nationally and mentally. What’s not a sign of perfect good health is the Robert Lindsays of this world. They’re the ones who are sick, not this other stuff. This other stuff is a sign of excellent health and normalness. It’s not normal to think your race is nothing and to acquiesce in its extinction.

“Larch: I would like to point out that the majority of Americans nowadays who are not race-obsessed loons like you guys have a hard time telling many Hispanics from Euro-Whites, especially the Meds.”
Humans self-identify racially at 99.8% accuracy.
Hey Bob, you might’ve missed my comment directed to you earlier so here it is again:
I understand the mindset of everyone on this board.
Please do elaborate on my mindset, Bob.
People like me have the same feelings that you guys do sometimes, but we just realize that that is part of our base, cave-man like element, and dismiss it and rise above it.
Good point; base, cave-man urges like the survival instinct and the reproductive instinct are something liberals want all whites to “rise above.”
No, thanks, you have all the fun flying about.
Humans are not like dogs and cats. We can choose whether to be racist or beat or wives or rape women or do any of the other stupid things that we are genetically coded to do or be.
We have good reasons not to rape or beat women - what good reasons do we have militating against racism?
People like me have just evolved to a higher level than you guys.
Hmm. What are your criteria for “evolved to a higher level” in this context?
Blacks are human beings too, even the not very well-behaved ones.
That’s nice. So?
US Blacks are here to stay. They are not going back to Africa and we are not going back to Europe.
This is contingent on white sufferance, which does at this time seem to obviate the possibility of black repatriation.
So?
Like an old married couple, we are stuck with each other and have to work something out.
Working something out is pretty vague. It could mean eviction and divorce (radical WN position); lots of folks “work things out” that way. It could mean the battered wife stays with her abusive husband and takes her beatings like a good bitch (mainstream “liberal” (republicrat) position); this one’s popular too.
Blacks and whites are manifestly not “stuck with each other” in the way you imply, any more than a battered wife is “stuck” with her violent husband.
Blacks are divided into a civilized group that has more or less assimilated to US society and an Underclass that is pretty much of a catastrophe. It’s almost like 2 different races now.
...except for the whole ancestry thing, lol. (Still haven’t looked into regression to the mean?)
The way you guys lump these people all together in one race is just sickening.
How about some examples of this dastardly behavior? I’m having a hard time making that into a sensible statement.
How am I “subsidizing the growth of the Underclass”? I never said anything about that. They are human beings and they have a right to survive.
Do they have a right to self-determination? How about free association?
Bob, do you write “blacks have a right to survive,” when you really mean “blacks have a right to survive in a socialist (i.e., totalitarian or authoritarian “progressive") state”?
Persons in the underclass vary from relatively healthy to profoundly unhealthy. As a Commie, I’m not into welfare either. We support forced work programs. The Underclass would have to work for their money. We take care of their kids in daycare while they work. If they can’t find work, we make work for them somehow. Give them a broom to push. If they can’t make it to work, we drive by and pick them up in vans and take them to work. I have no problem putting gang members in gulags up in Alaska. If they are really irresponsible, we will pay them with a card that they can only spend on rent, utilities and good food. Once they take care of all that, they can cash it in.
Sorta like a Nazi. You’d have made a great National Socialist, yeah?
In Mozambique under socialism, there was almost zero Black crime, in the heart of darkest Africa.
Lol. How do we verify that? Please don’t tell me you just accepted the stats from black socialists!
There is nothing genetic in Blacks that mandates they must have a high crime rate everywhere. In Cuba, the crime rate is very low and it’s mostly Black.
Bob, yes, we know authoritarianism and totalitarianism can reign in black criminality - we just don’t want to live under either for the privilege of living amongst blacks. And that’s a far cry from your misleading “nothing in blacks mandates” crap.
Personally, I think Blacks need socialism. Under capitalism, too many fail, get frustrated and angry and become criminals while trying to get rich.
I agree that blacks need a very heavy government hand of some kind if they’re to begin to approach the unreasonable expectations of white liberals (that they behave like the white people in black skin liberals desperately wish them to be).
America seems hopeless, and anyway, I’m an internationalist, not a nationalist.
WTF is the point of your internationalism, btw? Just GOTTA put all the eggs in one basket? Just REALLY DON’T LIKE competing experimentation? Just GAG when you think about self-determination, ideological and social diversity, etc? Just REALLY have to tell everyone how to live? A burning desire to burn ALL the bridges (panmixia is always an option in a diverse environment; the reverse is true only in evolutionary scale)?
Hispanics and Blacks at the moment are voting for progressive and environmental causes.
Environmentalism’s part of the package. That’s the extent of its support from blacks and mestizos.
For the record: to a man, WNs and other associated types here at MR (and everywhere, if to a slightly lesser extent - can’t account for more than 99% of WNs on that account) recognize Bob & Co.’s right self-determination and free association.
Bob & Co. expressly do not reciprocate; in fact they expressly deny our right to self-determination and association.

I want to see Bob’s position on the right of blacks to racial nationalism. I want to know if Bob thinks blacks have a right to act as a group to preserve themselves and secure resources (inter alia).
If Bob says no, then he’s denying black self-sovereignty, a position that is consistent with his liberalism, but not so much with the reigning liberalism, where whites don’t get to tell blacks jack shit. If Bob says yes, then he’s admitting his denials of racial nationalism apply only to whites.
I’d also like to see Bob’s position on the right of individuals to self-determination and free association. It’s obvious Bob believes in neither, because that’s the only way his comments make any sense at all, but I’d like to see him man up and make a statement.
Of course, he’s already refused to acknowledge either right, on numerous occasions when asked, so we already know the answer: Bob loathes the very ideas of self-determination and free association.
Rather odd position for an ostensible liberal, isn’t it Bob?

I still say Hispanics and Blacks do not oppose a Progressive agenda.”
From the “Homeland of the Progressive Agenda”....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Davis
Santa Cruz California, a place that has succumbed to the new totalitarianism. Where Mao’s little Red Book was passed out on street corners in the 60’s.

R.Lindsay;
“There are plenty of mostly white communities in the US where folks should be plenty happy. Some towns in the Sierra Nevada Mts. where I spend a lot of my time are mostly white.”
Doing some research, Bob? Checking out just how white these areas are, are we, Bob?
Better make it safe for the Mestizo’s, get that day labor area set up, or how about funding the “alternative” radio station....? The kind that are careful not to show a complete hostility toward the majority but code to the progressive elite,..... the “agenda”.
“There are some Hispanics moving in but not many”....
Yeah, this isn’t 1970-90....
As with the Mestizos, we will be watching for you too, Bob.

There are some animals who remember being human but in Robert Lindsey, with his mindless regurgitation of the critical phrase “freedom of association”, we have an animal who doesn’t even remember being human—he can’t conceive of such a creature. I can understand his avoidance of recognizing his loss of humanity out of simple aversion to pain.
So, in terms of euthanasia, it might be higher priority to kill the former than the latter. However, in terms of damage to humanity, I think it might be higher priority to put the latter out of the misery of others, than put the former out of its own misery. With such limited resources I think we have to forgo the compassion we might extend the suffering animal and instead allocate those resources to alleviating the suffering of humans. This has the additional virtue that, in the event that karmic forces are real, the forgetful animal may be accumulating future karmic suffering upon itself from which the compassionate human might protect it.

Sorry guys, I was away hanging with some of my Hispanic wangster homies, listening to gangsta rap and smoking blunts. This my life now in the hood as I degenerate further and further in glorious Wiggerdom. My “White” friend and his Hispanic wife just left, bong in hand, to go watch their excellently miscegenated Whispanic offspring. And so the palefaces decline as the hood darkens and the crime rate goes up. Lord knows, I’ve been ripped off 3 times already but that’s price you pay for lack of palefaces.
The towns I discuss are towns I lived in for 16 years. One is called Oakhurst, California. Come move here! The Whites are uptight but that’s all right! There’s no crime and it’s full of reactionary fundamentalist Whites, the young women of whom are almost all knocked up and on welfare by their 20’s after their Blanco Superioris husbands abandon them. There’s meth everywhere in the White Underclass, where teeth at 50 or even 40 are a status symbol.
I am starting to write most of my blog posts stoned out of my mind on weed. Do you think the quality is starting to suffer?
Svigor has questions.
What’s in your mind, Svigor? You want to get away from all non-Whites, because I think you dislike them a lot. Yes, I know this mindset. Tony Clifton showed me how to play that role.
Good point; base, cave-man urges like the survival instinct and the reproductive instinct are something liberals want all whites to “rise above.”
Well, what we want to wipe out is mostly this urge Whites for their race to survive. It is true that I do support the survival of some ethnic groups for assortative mating, especially smaller, endangered ones who wish to preserve their native languages. But most are marrying out anyway. Ya just can’t stop the miscegenation wave, you know.
We have good reasons not to rape or beat women - what good reasons do we have militating against racism?
It’s immoral, and it goes against the New Society we are in the midst of creating here.
Hmm. What are your criteria for “evolved to a higher level” in this context?
I am no longer a tribal type man who ought to be tossing spears, wearing loincloths and sticking a bone through his nose like youse guys. I am part of the New Man who has transcended tribalism. Really I was referring to distaste for capitalism. I do run a business, but I hate it, because I am a more highly evolved being than this. Study “new socialist man”.
The way you guys lump these people all together in one race is just sickening.
How about some examples of this dastardly behavior? I’m having a hard time making that into a sensible statement.
You guys are always throwing all Blacks into the “high criminality” pool or the “stupid” pool. It’s so terrible. There is a group of them that can be characterized this way, but if you are careful around Blacks (most liberals are) you can get all the benefits of Black camaraderie and little of the downside.
Blacks are divided into a civilized group that has more or less assimilated to US society and an Underclass that is pretty much of a catastrophe. It’s almost like 2 different races now.
...except for the whole ancestry thing, lol. (Still haven’t looked into regression to the mean?)
As you do right here. It’s so horrible. I was just talking about you guys to the wigger dude and his Spanic wife. The wigger dude said he thought you guys sucked as he exhaled a bong hit. As you can see, you guys hardly have any Whites for you. This guy is low-income working class guy surrounded by Browns and Blacks, and he ought to be a prime target for you. He called you “White Power” with a frown. See, you are losing your own people!
Blacks in the US have no right to self-determination and for the most part they do not have the right to freedom of association either, except in their personal lives. They do not have that right in their professional lives -same as you guys. You may not associate only with your own kind in provision of services, private or government, running any kind of business, in sales of homes, in the provision of access to any commercial establishments or even private clubs. In your own homes and vehicles and in your personal lives, you do have freedom of association.
Blacks have a right to survive, meaning to stay alive and not die.
Sorta like a Nazi. You’d have made a great National Socialist, yeah?
No, you need to study the history of WW2 and the differences of various forms of totalitarianism, from racist national capitalism to revolutionary socialist internationalism. These guys are our worst enemies - they killed 27 million of my comrades in WW2.
WTF is the point of your internationalism, btw?
Internationalism means to stop thinking as a racialist member of some tribe and to see oneself as a member of the tribe of man.
Blacks and Browns are voting for environmentalism right now. It is the WHITE rightwing parties and movements of the Right that have been so deadly in attacking our environmental movement. When it comes right down to it, US Whites are the biggest menace the US environmental movement has right now. Another excellent reason to make them slowly disappear into the more mixed races that support the liberal agenda so much more.
Bob loathes the very ideas of self-determination and free association.
In general, but I support separatist movements all over the world, even some armed ones. And most Americans oppose almost all of these movements, especially the ones that pick up guns. I oppose some of them, and neither US Blacks nor Whites have legitimate self-determination project. Examples of groups I support: Turkish Kurds, IRA, ETA, Tamil Tigers, Chechen, Ingush, Dagestani separatists, many separatists in India and Burma, Aceh Movement and Free W Papua in Indonesia. Free Tibet and East Turkestan in China, Kashmiri separatism, Spanish Saharan independence, Scanian, Flemish, Scottish, Welsh, Catalan, Corsican, Kosovan and Breton independence.
So I support self-determination - it just that you guys do not qualify.

I agree that I am completely irrelevant. But you guys are starting to really make me mad now - that does it, I’m calling Mom. Especially that guy who said I was a parody. Anyone who is channeling Andy Kaufman obviously demands to be taken seriously.
I am 50 unfortunately, not 40.
I am not a teenager anymore, which is good as far as zits but bad as far as the ability to get an erection from the mere wind. However, in my heart of hearts, I will always be 20 years old. I still check out young girls, but now a lot of them give me the “What are you looking at you perverted old man!” look, which is one of the tragedies of aging.
Robert Lindsay: “I don’t hate Whites at all; actually I am proud to be White”
I’ve told you over and over that all sorts of race mixes and race traitors like the wangster Hispanic homeboy wearing all red (wannabe Norteno) who just walked into my room, have racial pride but gleefully miscegenate away while they associate blissfully with any race around them. This guy here is actually a wannabe-Black I think. You just don’t get it. This is the way so many are - proud of their race, yet willing to befriend and mate with any other race.
so you plan to mix your genes with latrinos, negroes or hmongs, right ? you know to make sure your children won’t ever be like us. Right ?
Huh? You better watch your words. There is a “Latrino” in my home right now, smoking a blunt, he heard you say that through the Net, and he is not happy. Me? I would mix my genes with any race and I have dated a number of Hispanic and Black women. One Black woman I dated for a year or so and we were talking about marriage. So, yeah.
I have never dated a Hmong woman, though I tried once. They are kind of inaccessible around here as they mostly mate with their own kind. As they are Asians, they are much more highly evolved than we lowly Whites, and it’s a good idea for us to improve ourselves by mating with these more-evolved humans.
I kind of like the idea of miscegenating with a hot little Filipina, actually. Know any hot mail order bride sites?
