On the Terms ‘Racist’ and ‘Racism’

Posted by Alex on January 22, 2010, 05:56 PM | #

In time the non-European peoples being cynically pitted against Euros in the anti-race campaign will have ‘anti-racism’ used against them.  It’s just that at the moment they are more useful as they are.  That’s how this works.

Interesting commentary by Noam Chomsky…

“Over the long term, you can expect capitalism to be anti-racist—just because it’s anti-human. And race is in fact a human characteristic—there’s no reason why it should be a negative characteristic, but it is a human characteristic. So therefore identifications based on race interfere with the basic ideal that people should be available just as consumers and producers, interchangeable cogs who will purchase all the junk that’s produced—that’s their ultimate function, and any other properties they might have are kind of irrelevant, and usually a nuisance.”

-- Noam Chomsky

Marxists, as the controlled go no where opposition to and lackeys of Capitalism, are as expected naturally to be found at the forefront of the anti-race campaign.

Do you still do the Saturday night riddle?

I have part of a qoute for you, guess who said it?

… A nation is a historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life, and psychological make-up manifested in a common culture.”

I like your writing style Alex, its very clear and on-point, very easy to read.

As for the topic of the article, having thought about it for years, nothing really new comes into my mind. The magnificent slowness of memetic evolution among the herd is what I recognize here. That they are such beings as would let publicly-hocked reasoning come between themselves and their roots and ancestors, a laziness difficult to fathom. And apparently we’re the same as them except with bigger brains and perhaps more iconoclastic tendencies. Makes you wonder what shibboleths we ourselves unwittingly bow to, and let obscure our vision of the real.

Like the people who are doomed to be properly controlled by words like ‘racist’, who have no access to our discussions, maybe we dont have access to the discussions of people who could see into our errors. And maybe some of our errors would look just as gross and miserable to people with these higher perspectives, as this enormous white morality circle-jerk pantomime looks to us. Yet perhaps the things we are in error about don’t lie in the realm of politics, but in other areas equally valid to human life. Reminds me of the title of a GW post, “But as with them, so too with you and me”.

Asking for the author of a quote is not a riddle and very easy these days thanks to search engines jamesUK.

Answer: Stalin

Yes well done!

Here’s the actually full quotation.

… A nation is a historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life, and psychological make-up manifested in a common culture.”

Among the Jews there is no large and stable stratum connected with the land, which would naturally rivet the nation together.”

Joseph Stalin, 1913

The very notion of race is product of the perverted civilizational pseudo-"values" of the modern west in the last several centuries, values which reject any higher things and transcendence and base themselves on the most vulgar matrialism. Thus making general assumptions about people based on some quite arbitrary classifications of body-types (which is the essence of every “racial” theory) becomes referential pont for many people. Marxism is similar ideology, only that it substitutes “race” for “class”. Its materialistic underpinnings are pretty much the same.

“Race” is irrelevant in any essential sense of the word. It is merely a cultural construct. Race is no “biological reality”. The only biological reality is the individual human.

Ha ha ha. Thanks for the laugh non racist.

But just in case you’re serious:

Bi-racial bone marrow hard to find

And please, at least make the effort to read Rushtons “Race, Evolution And Behaviour” before trying to claim “race is just a social construct”. Don’t just go to the wiki page and regurgitate the pathetic snippets of “criticism” they provide. Lefty-bots like you are getting tiresome.

“Lefty-bots like you are getting tiresome.” (—DRS)

Right, this one in particular is an especially annoying example.  Posts here in bursts, signing either as non racist or ultra libertarian.  GW generally erases his comments, they’re so idiotic.  He can be ignored completely.

So, from your perspective, 1189 AD is modern?

Do you realize you are preaching the theology of Jim Jones? Jonestown and the Peoples Temple was founded on a worldview EXACTLY in line with what you espouse.

Jones and hundreds of his multiCULTural, multiracial, “we are the world” followers gathered together to form a community where only the individual mattered and things like race and ethnicity were considered “social constructs”

They then drank poisoned cool aid in a mass suicide.

In fact the denial of the reality of race seems to be a hallmark of suicide cults. David Koresh and his compound at Waco was probably the most racially diverse church in Texas.

Arbitrary?

“In early March, 2003, investigators turned to Tony Frudakis, a molecular biologist who said he could determine the killer’s race by analyzing his DNA. They were unsure about the science, so, before giving him the go-ahead, the task force sent Frudakis DNA swabs taken from 20 people whose race they knew and asked him to determine their races through blind testing. He nailed every single one.”

The core ideology upon which Marxism pivots is the belief in the universal equality of all people. If Marxism could be defined in one pity sentence is would be, The only biological reality is the individual human.

Marxism champions the sovereignty of the individual while demonizing the family and extended family -aka, tribe or nation.

You’re a White person.

Know how I know this?

Because ONLY brainwashed, guilt-ridden, White people write what you wrote. ONLY White people deny the importance of ethnicity and race.

ONLY White people.

But you shouldn’t feel guilty. Our people have done more good in the world than all the others put together. We brought civilization to primitive societies, built roads, hospitals, schools, electricity and even gave some a written language.

But as far as race being a “cultural construct”, I take it you’ve never heard of a thing called Forensic Science. In the which, an individual’s race can be determined from DNA samples, bone and skull structure.

At the same time, genetic information is slipping out of the laboratory and into everyday life, carrying with it the inescapable message that people of different races have different DNA. Ancestry tests tell customers what percentage of their genes are from Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas. The heart-disease drug BiDil is marketed exclusively to African-Americans, who seem genetically predisposed to respond to it. Jews are offered prenatal tests for genetic disorders rarely found in other ethnic groups.

But you shouldn’t need such examples as your own mind, heart and eyes bear witness to the reality of race.

Think about it, do Swedish couples give birth to Arab babies?

Do Chinese couples give birth to Sudanese babies?

Do Irish couples give birth to Native American babies?

Of course not.

Your denial of the existence of race is based on fear.

All your life you’ve been bombarded by propaganda demonizing your people and their history. You react to that by attempting to sanctify yourself through your denial of race and the implied differences that follow, even as you don’t bat an eye at the existence of raced based organizations as the ADL, NAACP, the United Negro College Fund and the like.

There is probably no greater hell than living in fear of thinking or speaking the truth.

Well obviously what’s happening there, the reason they don’t give birth to each other’s babies, is the racists, xenophobes, homophobes, sexists, and did I leave any out?  Oh yes, the anti-Semites!  Good old anti-Semites, how could I forget those!  OK where was I?  Right, obviously what’s happening there is the racists, xenophobes, homophobes, sexists, and anti-Semites, (and don’t forget the Patriarchy and the anti-LBGT’s, they’re in there too), the ones in other words who are responsible for all this social construction known as “race” going on, leaned down low next to the pregnant mothers’ bellies, and in each case whispered to the baby inside the race they wanted him to be when he popped out, and that’s why all these women don’t give birth to each other’s kinds of baby.  Right, Professor Lewontin?  (may substitute Professor Kamin, Professor Montagu, Prof. Diamond, Prof. Goldstein currently at Duke, Prof. Boaz, Alon Ziv, Tim Wise, or basically anybody who’s had a bar mitzvah for “Lewontin").

Oh, Carl Zimmer, may substitute him too, the pathetic “science journalist,” darling of the Jew York Times, who denies race.  Did all those baddies lean down and whisper to the babies inside what race they wanted them to be, Carl?  I guess they must’ve, if race doesn’t exist — right, genius?  Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight ......

(And yeah, Carl was bar mitzvah’ed, I have no doubt ....... Somehow race-denial and bar mitzvahs go together, I’ll have to run a statistical analyis of that, figure out how that works finally.)

That was a very incisive post, Narrator, but I think non racist’s cute little ACT is meant to antagonise. The wording is too contrived to be taken seriously. Non racist knows what this website stands for so ‘it’ mouths the exact opposite of the truths we deal in. In fact non-racist’s assertions are SO at odds with reality, they should be categorized as absurd. They border on the silly notion: “species is a social construct.” Non racist is a practical joker.
