Independent thinking in duplicate Kevin Myers, probably the most outspoken journalist writing in the British press, evidently indulges in even more page-scorching realism when he goes home to Ireland. Certainly, he treated the readers of the Irish Independent to a refreshing view of the very dark continent.
Meanwhile, the UK version of Independent journalism featured a rarity today. Here’s Deborah Orr, a writer whose frankness has got her into trouble before.
So there we are. Ground-breaking honesty on Africa and IQ in two mainstream papers with the name “Independent”, and on the same day. I’m still pinching myself to make sure it was real. Comments:2

And don’t forget the editors who decided to run them, DavidL. The real control is at the level of the behind-the-scenes editor and owner. 3
Posted by Matra on Fri, 11 Jul 2008 01:31 | # Myers is the only columnist in the entire MSM whose articles I make a point of reading. Needless to say he’s hated by the purveyors of respectable opinion in Ireland. That he’s managed to retain his column is surprising but also a sign of hope that things are changing in Ireland. They may also be changing in England. Below is another article one wouldn’t expect to read in the MSM. In fact it was published by the politically correct London Review of Books and written by an ex-anti-apartheid activist! 4
Posted by .357 (Dave Johns) on Fri, 11 Jul 2008 01:42 | # “Ground-breaking honesty on Africa and IQ in two mainstream papers with the name “Independent”, and on the same day.” Don’t get too excited! You can bet there’ll be dozens of articles forthcoming designed to discrediting those two. It’s called “Fair and Balanced” - PC style. 5

This is just another tool (among others) to beat us down the path to race suicide. 6
Posted by Hibernia Girl on Wed, 16 Jul 2008 01:28 | # The Immigrant Council of Ireland (uber-PC folks, needless to say) have lodged a complaint with the Irish police against Myers saying that his piece was racially offensive and that he ought to be charged with “hate speech.” (How original!) Article from the Irish Times: ICI claims article was ‘racially offensive’ A post by me: PC bullies from the Immigrant Council of Ireland swing into action 7
Posted by Fred Scrooby on Wed, 16 Jul 2008 02:25 | # Hibernia Girl, that was a good log entry you posted on the problems of Africa. However, with all due respect to Steve Sailer and the Pioneer Foundation, one wonders to what extent vitamin and mineral deficiencies among Africans can be the explanation when U.S. Negroes, certainly not malnourished, display the same or nearly the same cognitive/behavioral/civilizational limitations. By the way, I notice at your site you list this blog, MajorityRights.com, under “USA / Canada.” It’s neither American nor Canadian but an English blog (the fellow who runs it, GW, is an Englishman). 8
Posted by Matra on Wed, 16 Jul 2008 02:35 | # Helen Keogh of the “Christian charity” World Vision on Myers’ article:
<a href=“http://tinyurl.com/69leam”>Link</i> You just knew the Nazis would come up in this controversy. If the West interferes in Africa we are racist neocolonialist exploiters. If we leave Africa alone we are instituting “a version of Nazi Germany’s The Final Solution”. 10
Posted by Fred Scrooby on Wed, 16 Jul 2008 04:36 | # The only way to answer Helen Keough is by sending her on a six-month all-expenses-paid vacation to Soweto, Durban, Port Moresby, Port-au-Prince, or Detroit, her choice. (For this job I’d frankly recommend Port Moresby.) Oh, and with one of those explosive collars that Arnold Schwarzenegger wore in the film, “Running Man,” the kind that blow up if you try to leave the place without permission. That should do it. 11
Posted by weston on Wed, 16 Jul 2008 06:38 | # That section of Keough’s article that Matra quoted reads like an unbelievable parody. Surely Myers isn’t suggesting that the rest of the world can do without Africa’s distance runners.

Oops! Thanks for letting me know, Fred. I dunno why I thought MR was an American blog—I think it was a combination of James Bowery’s presence as well as the level of free and open speech here—I guess I just assumed the owner(s) felt protected by the U.S. 1st Amendment. Apologies to GW! 13
Posted by Fred Scrooby on Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:08 | # Hibernia Girl’s recent log entry, “Why does Ireland have to be transformed?” is excellent, by the way, as are most of the letters in the comments thread underneath. (One part of a letter I didn’t like was by “Choicez” in Southern California who implied race-replacment’s purpose is to assure the retirements of the baby boom generation [since women’s-lib-brainwashed young white women have more or less refused to have white babies for a generation and counting]. That canard was laid to rest a long time ago — not even race-replacement’s most rabid supporters dare to trot that one out any more. It’s crap: Choicez is ten years behind the times with that lie.) 14
Posted by Guessedworker on Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:34 | # MR is a blog for the European people. Not English or American. 15

And Marcfrans will be the perfect choice as Helen’s ... traveling companion, shall we call it? (Oh yes, and don’t forget the exploding collars!) Yes, Port Moresby ought to do the trick very nicely ... How soon can you two leave? 16
Posted by 123 on Sat, 19 Jul 2008 18:45 | # “I perused Mr. Myers other columns. He is a Zionist and promoter of the Holocaust religion.” Yes, now things start to make sense. How anyone not a member of the tribe would dare write such an article, get it published in a mainstream paper, and on top expect to get away with it, was beyond me. 17
Posted by Matra on Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:15 | # Reis, I perused Mr. Myers other columns. He is a Zionist and promoter of the Holocaust religion A perfect example of the American WNist mindset. One’s view of the Second World War and Israel trumps everything else. Maybe in there somewhere we’ll discover why Reis prefers Ukrainian multiculturists in Canada over the Anglo-Saxon host population. (The Ukis were more pro-German?) 123, Most of the the Irish media are pro-Palestinian. I can’t think of a single popular columnist or politician in Ireland who supports the Palestinian cause and immigration control. In Ireland, unlike the US, anti-Zionism and anti-white multiculturalism usually go hand in hand. 19
Posted by snax on Tue, 22 Jul 2008 23:22 | # Myers may believe in the holocaust, almost everyone in Europe and America does, and he may say the Jews can have their state, likewise, - me too - but he’s a more open-minded writer than most in the MSM on these subjects. 20
Posted by snax on Fri, 22 Aug 2008 20:03 | # Perhaps Kevin Myers should be interviewed for MR Radio, most journalists also love to talk and notorious journos usually get that way by design. Myers is becoming notorious: http://www.independent.ie/opinion/columnists/kevin-myers/risible-lies-about-immigrants Small meat for MR stomachs, but as he points out, too much for most of the MSM. Call him at his word. Fearless or no? Challenges ‘real’ racism or doesn’t he? Post a comment:

GW
Two great articles !
If there is a God, please bless these writers with much ink and loooong healthy lives.
The Irish seem to have clearer perception of the world around them ( EU, race etc. ) and make it known.
Thanks again !
