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.

Political Correctness, Godfrey Bloom and the African Tragedy.

I was motivated to write this post after reading about the treatment of Godfrey Bloom, the UKIP MEP who has been severely reprimanded for protesting the transfer of British aid to a catch-all territory he called ‘Bongo-Bongo land’.

While the term Bloom used is obviously retrograde, silly and a throwback to the worst days of colonial racism, he was entirely correct to criticize the foreign aid budget which (alongside MP salaries) surely ranks among the great scandals of our day.

How can we justify, Bloom asked, giving any money to the foreign poor, when the poor here are becoming reliant on food-banks?

He could have gone much further, I’m sure, if political correctness hadn’t forbade it. Perhaps I can go further for him. Aid to Africa – though it has been a noble pursuit in the past – is today largely a swindle.

While the problems of Africa are real and tragic, they are usually self-created and self-maintained. Malnutrition for example, is the fruit of overpopulation. Aids is the fruit of irresponsibility. Tribal conflict is the fruit of culturelessness. 

To be absolutely frank, if we really cared about the welfare of Africans, we could solve their problems in a single decade by enforcing two commonsensical policies.

1. A child limit per woman.

Even though the same policy in China has led to horrid individual tragedies, Africa sees many, many more as a result of overbreeding. We must be clear that African parents who bring six or seven children into starving countries are not just uneducated, but frankly evil. They are behaving in a disgusting and reprehensible way and should be made an example of.

2. Economic policy, agriculture and city planning must be delegated to non-Africans.

Africans are not as bright as Europeans (the average IQ of a Sub-Saharan African is 70; the average for a European is 100), but they are still very much human-beings and deserve their share of human dignity. That dignity depends on their liberation from a state of darkness they evidently cannot escape.

African countries, even those considered to be merely ‘desert plains’, can be made into semi-modern countries with the right leadership. The Arabs and Berbers of North Africa manage to guarantee themselves a bassline standard of living (often in countries with little fertile land), but Sub-Saharan Africans clearly aren’t able to achieve the same. 

The only alternative to the status quo therefore is for Non-Africans to administer the economic and agricultural policies of Black-majority countries.

There you go.

Job done.

None of this will ever be undertaken of course, because to do so would wreck the Egalitarian order of the West. I just thought it might be nice to imagine a world in which we put peoples lives above theories.

Perhaps angry liberals could start thinking a little less about Mr Bloom, and a little more about that.

On the Murder of Christina Edkins.

How deep the numbing liberalism has sunk. Deeper than a knife requires to kill….

In the wake of the brutal slaying, by a mentally-challenged Black youth, of a native English schoolgirl on a Birmingham bus, the spectre of ‘race’ once again seems irresistible. 

While it’s true that such a killing ought not to mean automatically that ‘race’ is discussed, it is being discussed and so it will do no harm to discuss it further. This is especially true in this case, as the ‘race’ issue is being brought up mostly by those from a minority background themselves.

Shortly after reading about the killing, I logged on to Facebook. Inevitably in such a small country, my friends were already commenting on the matter and some had joined groups created to honour the victim. These things are harmless enough and so I decided to join one too.

On the page I joined, about half the comments (there were thousands of them) were simplistic gestures of sympathy (“RIP” etc..), and a large portion of the rest were comments excitedly chastening others for bringing up the murderer’s ethnicity.

On one particularly long thread (about 500 comments long), the most recent comments both said something along the lines of – “I wish people would stop talking about race! Just be sorry for the poor girl and show some respect!” (clearly the spelling was considerably worse – one post even later exclaiming that the killer had “bin court!”. I despair sometimes…)

Anyway, intrigued by the claim of racism, I clicked the “show all comments” button, and the thread expanded, revealing all the dialogue since the thread began.

Not one comment had mentioned the race of the killer. Not one of them. No-one had used the “N” word, or in fact any heated racial language at all.

Those semi-literate users protesting the discussion of race had evidently not bothered to read the thread themselves. Instead, they had guessed, and guessed wrongly.

Wrongly and revealingly…..

I studied other threads on this case, and found the same thing; a reactive and unjustified sensitivity by ethnic minority users, backed by a strange presumption that race was being discussed when in actual fact it wasn’t.

Such hallucination lets slip volumes about the ‘minority’ mindset. Racism has become so well-promoted as a problem that it remains a problem even when it isn’t one. People are prepared to be offended, trained to be hurt, ever-ready to cry… The effect of all this degrades the national conversation.

There are of course, those in Britain who do see things through a racial lens. I made a point afterwards of visiting the BNP website, who sure enough had the story on their news feed and all manner of wild comments underneath (“It’s their small monkey brains! They are violent by nature. They ain’t like us humans. They’re closer to primates….”, “She probably said no to his advances and he stabbed her for it!!” etc…

But these wild-eyed folk are known eccentrics, doomed forever to the political margins. Why take notice of them?

As to the actual science bigots typically reach for on these occasions, it is common knowledge that different races have differing endowments of the male sex-hormone, which among other things, regulates aggression. Conceivably, I suppose, this could have been relevant to the Birmingham case. But the difference in hormone is usually minimal, and were it not, multiracial societies would be in a state of perpetual crisis.

Still, people must be free to speculate as to what motivates these crimes, and what can be done to prevent them in the future. Although nobody seemed to be mentioning it on social networks, there is a problem with Black culture in Britain. The hooded youths (many of them ‘tooled-up’) who stalk the streets near my apartment late at night are something we must discuss. Sensitivity will avail us nothing here.

People of all races can be good, decent and a credit to the nation they inhabit. I don’t need to list the examples of how Black and Asian Britons have contributed to British music, politics, sport and literature. It’s enough to acknowledge that they have.

But since these are now part of the national family, this means we can be as frank as familial ties excuse in pointing out destructive errors. Black British culture in London is in a woeful state, and in Birmingham the situation is even more dire.

Cultural Marxism isn’t helping any of this. It is worse than a lie. It is killing us.
