According to a Turkish Imam, when men masturbate they risk impregnating their hands.

Once again… According to a Turkish Imam, when men masturbate they risk impregnating their hands.

Now, before you jump to any rash conclusions about the scientific basis on which this claim is made, I must inform you that the hands are only impregnated in the afterlife, and this explains the lack of earthly evidence with which the Imam might back up this theory in the present, terrestrial domain.

Though he has not been pressed much further on the matter, the idea he imparted has great implications for those who hope to survive death, and such people are understandably desperate for certain clarifications. For example, if the hands are pregnant, from what part of the body does the child emerge? Is morning sickness in the wrists?

It’s very easy to laugh at Islamic madness. Despite that, I thoroughly recommend it.

A Question for Egalitarians.

In the educated quarters of the United States, a new book about race is causing quite a stir. It’s called ‘A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History’ and was penned by NYT science correspondent Nicholas Wade. In the book Wade argues that race – contrary to liberal consensus – is not a ‘construct’ but a biological fact, and that because of this, average levels of intelligence (as well as various aspects of personality) vary between ethnic groups.

The ‘controversy’ here is of course unwarranted. The findings of modern science almost always suggest ethnic disparities in cognitive ability exist and are severe enough to have political and economic consequences. 

But if you’re still unconvinced, Wade may be of some help to you. I also came up with a nice thought experiment today which may help our side of the argument albeit in a less scientific manner.

If you’re an egalitarian – a Communist of some kind perhaps – and have stumbled upon this horrible, fascist, racist blog by accident, please don’t go before you read and consider the following:

Imagine if sixteen years ago, a South Korean family adopted a Nigerian boy at birth, and then, two weeks later, adopted a Korean boy, also at birth.

The two 16 yr old brothers have grown up eating the same food, and have enjoyed the same amount of exercise. Both also attended the same schools, and were raised by the same stable and complete family.

For a reason we don’t have to go into, the two brothers are entered into a head-to-head IQ contest, and you are obliged by law to bet money on the outcome.

The money you bet with isn’t your own though. In fact, it is the total UN aid budget for Africa for the next ten years. If you lose or decline to take part, the money will be redirected into the bank account of Rush Limbaugh.

Who would go for and why? This direct confrontation between conscience and ideology makes for an interesting dilemma. The answers will be revealing.

Hip-Hop: The Downfall of White Society.

White Culture is everywhere on the decline, replaced by the values and styles of minority populations.

Despite the traditional White Nationalist view, this situation has less to do with crafty Jews hatching plots in misty, East-European graveyards, than it does with a single musical innovation: Hip-Hop.

When it began, Hip-Hop did not much seem like a revolution. Its basic idea – that of chanting rhyming lyrics over a fixed rhythm – was not even wholly original, having many lesser-known precedents both in Europe and Africa. And to be sure, the early output from the genre was unspectacular. Despite the pioneer label now retro-actively applied to the likes of Grand-Master Flash and Run DMC, nobody took them too seriously at the time. Hip-Hop was a fringe circus for more popular African-American disciplines like Jazz, Soul and Disco.

In the nineties this all changed, and shortly afterward, the West in its entirety changed with it. In Los Angeles, after a charged few years in which African-Americans were positioned in contest with local police forces, a new attitude was imposed on rap, differentiated by the prefix ‘Gangsta’.

Gangsta rap is in many ways a Black punk movement in that it glamourizes and endorses the same anti-Authority Jungen-Politik as its white predecessor. Unlike Punk however, Gangsta rap was and is markedly authentic. Whilst Jonny Rotten never really did believe in anarchy, and nor did Joe Strummer enact social revolution, Rappers really did (and do) shoot people. They really did (and do) go to jail, pimp prostitutes, smoke weed, and belong to gangs. This sincerity explains why it still flourishes as a music of rebellion across the world.

In his terrifyingly important article ‘The End of White America’, academic Hua Hsu felt compelled to mention the role of this genre in the downfall of the White establishment.

“Over the past 30 years” he wrote …”few changes in American culture have been as significant as the rise of hip-hop. The genre has radically reshaped the way we listen to and consume music, first by opposing the pop mainstream and then by becoming it. From its constant sampling of past styles and eras—old records, fashions, slang, anything—to its mythologization of the self-made black antihero, hip-hop is more than a musical genre: it’s a philosophy, a political statement, a way of approaching and remaking culture. It’s a lingua franca not just among kids in America, but also among young people worldwide. And its economic impact extends beyond the music industry, to fashion, advertising, and film.”

Indeed, Hip-Hop is not just a music genre. It is now a generational conquest of White majorities across the Western World. Just as Communism before it, Hip-Hop primarily seeks out youth, and like the Mao-ists of China, it disconnects each new generation from the one which precedes it, making children foreign to their parents.

If you’re over the age of forty, you might well listen to modern rap music with a giddy indignation. It will be entirely foreign to you, and, in many essential ways, it is designed to be. The younger generation, however, has a special sensitivity to concepts hidden in the philosophy of this art-form. Just like those special whistle pitches that only dogs can hear, Hip-Hop speaks an articulate language of incitement to the young generation which seems like mere nonsense to the old.

I have spoken elsewhere about the African-Americanisation of Miley Cyrus. To her I can now add Justin Bieber, the former darling of White pop music, who is now also hurriedly embracing the Hip-Hop lifestyle.

As to why this is happening so quickly, I will quote myself from the Miley post:

“The centre of White gravity is now conspicuously old in America, and getting older. By this same trend, White culture has become ever more morally stiff and disconnected from younger generations. If you are young and White in America, you are, whilst not yet in an ethnic minority, most certainly in a cultural one.

If that doesn’t matter to you and you just want to get a good job and have a family, then this isn’t a problem. But if you’re like the majority of young people in this digital age, and so not inclined to seek the same destiny as your parents, you must hop aboard a different ethnic train to escape it.”

We would be foolish to consider this process as being confined to America. Consider the following clip of the White Australian artist Iggy Azalea, whose racial transvestitism surpasses even that of Eminem.

<a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDgp-BR631Q”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDgp-BR631Q</a>

The consequences of Hip-Hop’s dominant position are not just cultural but social. The field of education has been hugely affected by the lyrical conventions of rap music, leading to a progressive dilution of literacy with each successive generation. There have even been attempts to adapt the conventions of language downward to that of slang – an enterprise justified via the poisonous theory of cultural relativism. According to this idea, children can be taught ‘Shakespeare’ in the language of the ghetto and still profit as much as they would from the original. Sorry, although it’s open to metaphysical debate, can Shakespeare with all the language changed really be called ‘Shakespeare’ at all…?

Rap Music is distinctly political in spirit. Many of the leading figures from Hip-Hop’s golden era propagandized against the White establishment with such intense fervor that, were the roles reversed, they would almost certainly be indicted for ‘race-hate’.

The upshot of children (including White, middle-class kids with no logical gripe against traditional society) being indoctrinated in this way is that minority grievances have become universalized, graduating whole generations into a nihilistic, Left-wing habit of thought completely out of sync with their life and opportunities.

One cannot witness these trends without wondering fearfully for the future.

I am not (lest it be argued otherwise) a ‘racist’, but at the same time I do propose that it would be a tragedy of unlimited proportion if White cultures were to be replaced in their entirety, especially by such an aggressive, de-civilizing force as that of Hip-Hop.

We Need to Talk about Detroit.

Blind egalitarianism leads to Detroit, Michigan. This once vital and impressive city is now a loosely connected network of shantytowns; its districts emptied of affluence and pockmarked with hives of crime.

If you’re not sad about this, you really should be. During World War 2, Detroit pretty much saved the Western world. This city was the armament factory on which democracy counted, and it delivered in that role to fine excess, not only matching the arms of the enemy, but producing weaponry of greatly superior speed, accuracy and power.

So you see, we all have reason to mourn what has happened to Detroit. And, perhaps more, we all have reason to fear its replication elsewhere.

The story of Detroit’s modern history is fast and cautionary. This once booming city had in 1945 an overwhelmingly Northern-European majority, whose industry principally involved the construction of automobiles and machine parts. In the 50s, 60s and 70s, a huge economic migration of African Americans from the South occurred with thousands of Southern Blacks tempted by the promise of shovel-ready jobs and better living standards, as well as less callous race-legislation. As a result of the quick demographic shift and its accompanying imports of crime and drugs, racial tensions quickly began to surface, and eventually erupted as a civil implosion in 1967. After this, Whites began to abandon the city, leaving the economy behind to collapse.

There. That’s it. Simple enough, but also devastating.

Conservatives across America shiver at the example of Detroit. When they see the wild, Zimbabwean grasslands developing a few miles from a modern skyline, they rattle with fear for their own city, and for their country.

And we should worry too.

The other day I was having coffee (regular readers must think I do little else) on Fulham Broadway. After I’d finished drinking, I decided to go for a walk outside the area familiar to me and headed up Fulham High Street.

London is noted for its sharp contrasts, but what I found surprised even me. Fulham High Street, once the glamourous preserve of ‘it girls’ and celebrity, now seems like a dingy African backwater, consisting in the main of fried chicken outlets, cloth markets (which spill anarchically into the road), and penny-pinching trinket stores. Everything present seemed run-down or damaged in some way. Halfway up the street I went to withdraw some money from a cashpoint, but when I approached it appeared the screen had been shattered. Knife marks were visible everywhere, intimating a mad effort to break it open.

Like Detroit, Fulham’s demographic profile has altered violently over recent decades. Not very long ago, as I say, this area was counted as extremely salubrious and local properties stood far beyond the means of most working people. For some time now though, (as with so many British miseries, this can be backdated to the assumption of office by Anthony Blair), Fulham has been a magnet for various kinds of third-world immigration. Somalis have provided the greatest number; other nationalities include Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, and Nigerians. And as these groups arrived, affluent residents left.

What has happened in Fulham is a micro example of a general London trend. Until now, perhaps naively, I had imagined this to be mainly an East-London phenomenon. Fulham however is located very close to where I live, in the heart of the wealthy West.

If you look as a detective would at these two scenarios – that of London and that of Detroit, you’d be motivated to ask how cities so far apart and dissimilar to each other could undergo the same process.

Something must connect them, but what? What is true in A that is also true in B?

For me, the answer consists of two separate but interwoven blunders. The first is the failure – by government – to discriminate between sources of immigration. Who on earth walked through Fulham in 1997 and thought to himself – “Nice. Very nice. But not enough Somalis….”

We know immigration is of more economic benefit than the average voter realises, but this is only true (with a few rare exceptions) of immigration from economically competent regions like India, America, Europe and the Far East.

Logic alone should make this argument for us. If Somalis can’t create thriving businesses in Mogadishu, then what reason is there to assume they can in London?

The second failure has been to lamely assume that affluent residents will tolerate the degradation of their area and can’t (or won’t) move elsewhere. For years the Liberal-Left has turned a blind eye to the example of places like Bradford, in which Whites (by choice) live and work in one part of the city, and Muslims (by choice) live and work in another. Because this self-segregation violates Leftist doctrine, it is ignored completely in the relevant areas of policy, and with disastrous effect.

Back in America, the task of explaining Detroit has become a major liberal headache. One can only blame General Motors for so long and for so many things before people get wise to you. Even if it isn’t permissible to speak such things openly (yet), every American is aware that the African-American community of Detroit deserves most of the blame for the city’s downfall. All the worst elements of Black culture have come to fore here, – including victim-ideology, racism and aggressive criminality, all of which feed into and support each other.

Tiring of the hypocrisy, lies and misplaced emphases of the Detroit debate in America, Patrick Cleburne wrote the following on Conservative website Vdare: “Detroit’s history from fantastic boom to squalid collapse in barely half a century resembles that of an exhausted Klondike mining district–yet the underlying impetus, the Auto industry, has in fact gone from strength to strength. Detroit has become a laughing stock in Europe… The truth is quite simple: huge prosperity attracted an immense influx of American Blacks–whose habits of life made the city unviable. There are ways of dealing with this type of problem, but they were not adopted.”

This is as good an encapsulation of the Detroit phenomenon as you’ll find, but it isn’t universally accepted.

The Liberal Left claim that the flight of industry from Detroit is the most obvious and relevant cause of its decline. The outsourcing of car-making jobs, unwise governmental policies, police brutality, failed social programs etc… All of these are more convincing to the Left than the two seismic race riots which set in motion the emptying of Detroit’s Caucasian majority….

I’ll leave you to make up your own mind as to which is more convincing.

So what can be done to prevent more Detroits from emerging? According to the vulgar (extreme) right, this must involve the creation of cities exclusively for Whites, or at least free of a large population of Blacks.

On the surface of it, this might seem a reasonable solution, but it nevertheless has a flaw. 

There already are almost exclusively White cities in America. Throughout the North-West, such cities are plentiful. They are also culturally barren, socially tedious, Meth-ridden and economically inferior to more diverse cities like Los Angeles and New York.

A solution therefore requires a compromise between Left and Right. It’s a question as yet without an answer. How do we create a genuinely pluralist city in which no ethnic group can predominate and in which all are held to the same moral standard of behavior?

Whichever country finds a convincing answer will hold the keys to the future.

Egalitarianism: The Future of an Illusion.

Bell Curve, Black people, Defend the modern world, Detroit, Intelligence quotient, John Derbyshire, Race and ethnicity in the United States Census, racism, racism and pornography, United States

This week I was browsing the website Vdare.com on my mobile phone and chanced upon a link to an article by the writer John Derbyshire. You may never have heard his name before, but there’s a slight chance you may have heard of one of his more controversial articles: ‘The Talk: Nonblack Version’. This particular piece has now passed into the political-correctors hall of shame, alongside cultural events like the The Bell Curve, Mein Kampf, and Race, Evolution and Behaviour.

I’ll put a link to the original article at the close of this one, but in case you don’t fancy reading it, I’ll summarise it here. ‘The Talk’ is a phrase apparently common among Black parents in the United States. It denotes the conversation they must inevitably have with their growing children about the issue of race, and especially about White racism.

Somewhat indignant about this, Mr Derbyshire took to writing a White version of ‘The Talk’ in which the reader is to imagine the words being spoken to a young White youth instead of a Black one.

Whilst the Black version of ‘The Talk’ is imagined to typically consist of dark and exaggerated warnings about the workings of the evil White community, Derbyshire’s inverts this and cautions the hypothetical youth against the danger of such things as wandering into Black areas at night, or stopping to listen when ‘accosted in the street by a Black’, or of the gap in intelligence between the two races….

You don’t need me to tell you which of those examples became the most controversial.

The issue of Race and Intelligence is apparently destined never to be settled. One cannot even raise it without risk to ones reputation or career. Scientists, including those in the relevant fields, are all too keen to change the subject when asked about it, and few pursue studies of the issue, (if they do, the final papers are laden with firefighting qualifications before and afterward.)

As for me, I like controversy, so it’ll do me no harm to talk about such matters here.

Are the races generally equal in cognitive ability? No. Of course they aren’t. But then nobody really believes that they are. Social manners dictate that we pretend they are in public, but in private, everyone of every racial background knows there are wild intellectual distances between the ethnic groups. And it isn’t just evident on IQ tests, but can be seen in everyday life too.

Just the other week I was sitting in a fast-food restaurant in Hammersmith when the table next to mine was suddenly leapt upon by a group of about 6 Black youths. They were, in appearance, aged around 18 to twentysomething years old, and were riotously trying to hold a six-way conversation with each other.

I’d already finished my ‘meal’, and was just waiting to stand and leave, but I was feeling lazy and so I sat for a few more minutes and listened to these people talk……

What I find most curious is that nobody else finds the conversations these people have curious. They aren’t like those held by any other ethnic type. No member of the group ever had the chance to complete a sentence. Each guy just kept shouting whenever anything like silence emerged from between the shouts of the others. Since words weren’t getting through, some of them started to make extended noises in order to bring the centre of gravity over to them. One of them kept going “Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh……Ohhhhhhhhhhh..Ohhhhhhh.” Another tried with “Whoaaahhh…Whoaahh.”. Another kept repeating “Listen but, listen but, listen but….”

They carried on like this, with each obstructing the communication of the other for about five minutes. At this point I had to leave as one of them, his mouth full, became so enthused by his enjoyment of the food that he commenced to dancing ecstatically between the tables.

I don’t think it’s honest to say that I find this a shared behaviour identical in portion within all ethnic groups. I would be truly shocked if a group of British-born Chinese, Jewish, Turkish, Arabic, Hispanic or Indian youths, even school-kids, behaved in that way in public.

But then perhaps the fault here is my own. You might justly ask why haven’t I been shocked before at the bizarre behaviour of young Black men and women? It hasn’t been my liberalism or cowardice. A more probable reason is captured by the phrase “the racism of low expectations’.

If I or society truly believe that races are equal, then should we not be free to confront those crazy youths and bar them from public places? Should we not be allowed to ask for social services to investigate whether those youths are retarded and need greater supervision? And if not, why not?

The answer is that we expect nothing more from them. Or at least, that we aren’t surprised by their behaviour, which amounts to the same thing.

We put off thinking about these things, because to think about these things can be painful.

For me more than others. I do not self-identify as ‘White’, although much of my ancestry is European. I have other infusions which conspire to give me a Latin complexion. My skin is fair, but I wouldn’t call it ‘White’. More than this, the word ‘White’ means nothing by-itself. I self-identify rather as English. But then, my endorsement of the civic-nationalist argument does not cancel out my awareness of  race. True, I’d rather not think about it at all. It dehumanises people to place them in categories, and it goes against my liberal instincts too. But if we adopt full colour-blindness, I’m scared about where my England will end up.

And how far can society actually go before it is forced to acknowledge racial truths? In America, the birthplace of modern multi-racial democracy, the conversation may have to be had sooner even than in Europe.

The city of Detroit, Michigan is for White, race-conscious Americans, a terrifying prophecy of the future. Historically this city was a Germanic, mostly-White, car-making boom-town. After the great-migrations of African-Americans from the South, the white population fled, first to one end of the city, then, after a massive race-riot, to the suburbs around the city and finally after a second race-riot, began to leave the whole metropolitan area.

Detroit is now almost entirely Black, and has become the most dangerous, violent, and deprived city in North America. The residential areas have fallen into third-world condition. Abandoned houses stand next to burned-out houses, closed hardware stores next to blasted and looted ones.

Americans deep-down, know why this has happened. In public, they will tell you it is because of the collapse of the local car-making industry, but the local car-making industry did not support the entire civilised spirit of the city any more than banking supports New York or London. Remove financial services from London and you still have a thriving economic force based around other services, construction and the arts. The same is true of Los Angeles, Paris, Milan and Berlin. No ‘city’ depends on one industry. A town maybe, but not a city.

In truth, the car-making industry was the last White refugee from Detroit. The cars are still being made, but somewhere else now. With White and Asian-American economic talent gone, the city is going quickly rotten. Gangs are taking over. There are running gun-battles echoing around the feet of skyscrapers.

Could this be the American future? Quite plausibly.

But if this is a disease I would hate to see it cured fully. Multi-racialism is not just a fact of life (and of modernity) but a salient fact of the world as it is. There are more people in the world than Europeans. Many non-Europeans have as much or more to offer.

Let there be no confusion – blind egalitarianism does not only mug White people. It also mugs other races of the right to be proud of their superiorities.

Returning to end where we began, I genuinely think there may be such a thing as an ‘optimum IQ’ – that is, an IQ that is best suited to life on planet earth and which is best capable of fulfilling the duties of reproduction, civilization and the creation of public happiness. I don’t believe such an IQ is typical at Harvard or Oxford. Extremely high intelligence is like an untethered helium balloon lifting one away from the vital plane of real existence.  In places like Scandinavia, the natives have some of the highest IQs in the world. The same is true of Japan. But these societies are at the end of their history. Nothing of interest happens anymore. The birth-rate is through the floor.

The music, art and babies of the future are being made by those who still occupy the lower, dirtier but more vital world.

Food for thought.
