Antiracism then and now

Not so elementary …

Rummaging around my late mother’s home, I came across a “study in the problem of race” called The Clash of Colour. It dated back to the 1920s and reflected a kind of soft anti-racism that now seems quaint … and impossible.

The author, Basil Mathews, discusses the injustice of a world where whites control nine-tenths of the world’s habitable surface. He denounces the hypocrisy of demanding self-determination for Eastern Europeans but not for Africans and Asians. Turning his attention to African Americans, he speaks even more caustically about Jim Crow laws and lack of equal opportunity. Finally, near the end of the book, he quotes a resolution that the World’s Student Christian Federation adopted in 1922:

We, representing Christian students from all parts of the world, believe in the fundamental equality of all the races and nations of mankind and consider it as part of our Christian vocation to express this reality in all our relationships. (Mathews, 1925, p. 149)

Yet, strangely enough, the author’s antiracism co-exists with a belief in racial differences:

When we talk of the unity of man, we do not mean the uniformity of man. Race is real. It seems certain that—as Dr McDougall says—

“Racial qualities both physical and mental are extremely stable and persistent, and if the experience of each generation is in any manner or degree transmitted as modifications of the racial qualities, it is only in very slight degree, so as to produce any moulding effect only very slowly and in the course of generations.

I would submit the principle that, although differences of racial mental qualities are relatively small, so small as to be indistinguishable with certainty in individuals, they are yet of great importance for the life of nations, because they exert throughout many generations a constant bias upon the development of their culture and their institutions.” (Mathews, 1925, p. 151)

These sentiments sound disturbingly similar to those of Dr. James Watson, the discoverer of the DNA double helix, who recently wrote, “there is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so.” For these words, Dr. Watson was roundly condemned and forced out of his position at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

James Watson published his book in 2007. Basil Mathews published his in 1925. Between these two dates, antiracism changed. What passed for progressive opinion in the 1920s is now inadmissible.

What happened? There was, to be sure, the world’s revulsion against Nazism. But that isn’t the whole story. Even in comparison to the 1970s, today’s antiracism has become much more radical.

Recently, President Bush pushed hard for an immigration reform that would have reduced white Americans to minority status by the year 2050 [sic-faster! ] while pushing the population total to half a billion. Such a proposal would have been unthinkable thirty years ago. It certainly would not have come from a self-professed conservative. Today, in 2007, such demographic change evokes scarcely a murmur of protest from the left to the right of the political spectrum. America’s elites have converted almost entirely to the anti-racist worldview. And this ‘consensus’ is defended not by debate but by an absence of debate—by a systematic silencing of any dissidence, such as Dr. Watson’s.

It’s unhealthy for any belief, however noble, to exist in an echo chamber of constant approval. This is, after all, what totalitarianism is about—the rise to hegemony of one opinion to the detriment of all others. Such is the state of antiracism today. It is no longer the voice of reason that speaks to the screams of bigotry and intolerance. [I suspect that “bigotry and intolerance” were always a lot more rational than the stereotypes promulgated by egalitarians. ] By a strange role reversal, it has become the very thing it used to oppose.

Antiracism, I fear, is painting itself into a corner from which it cannot extricate itself and which it will have to defend with increasingly totalitarian methods. Is this re-enactment of history really necessary? Can we not learn from the past? Must we follow the same trajectory that other hegemonic beliefs have followed with the same tragic consequences?

Comments on Buried Prejudice.

The writers seem to assume that buried bigotry is undesirable, either for
the individual who has it or for others that he encounters. That assumption
really needs to be examined. No stereotype is going to be 100% accurate,
but if the costs of the “false positives” is less than the losses avoided
when the stereotype is correct, then the stereotype is beneficial to the
individual.

For example, most people, at least unconsciously, think blacks are
dangerous. They therefore avoid all blacks, even some who are not
dangerous, thereby losing any benefit they would have obtained by not
avoiding the non-dangerous blacks. The avoided blacks presumably also lose
by their avoidance.

On the other hand, if blacks are in fact more dangerous than whites, their
avoidance may save them from stolen property, physical harm, and even death.
Their avoidance will be harmful to the blacks who would otherwise steal,
harm, or kill them, but who cares? The only question is “Is the avoidance
of those losses of greater value than the value lost by avoiding the
non-dangerous blacks?”

I agree. Unfortunately anyone who says that is going to be labeled a racist.

I remember back when I was in college (late 80’s/early 90’s) a “study”
was done comparing violent crime rates in Seattle and Vancouver. The
conclusion was the United States’ gun laws were to blame for Seattle’s
higher crime rate. Someone else came in and broke down the crime
numbers by race. Blacks by far had the highest crime rate. Whites
had a low rate and Asians barely registered. The rates were identical
on either side of the border. He then pointed out how Seattle had a
huge black community in comparison to Vancouver while the Canadian
city had far more Asians. He proved it wasn’t guns, but you can
imagine the outcry from the knee jerk politically correct community.

There’s also the story of an elevator. If a weak animal in the wild
comes across a potential predator it runs away. But if a small woman
goes to get on an elevator occupied by a surly looking black man
she’ll be afraid it’ll be “racist” to wait for the next car and may
just be putting herself in danger. Non-PC, but still accurate.

I would suspect that what is called prejudice may be, in fact, quite normal observation, association and conclusions about our environment. The lack of judgment or toleration is no more emancipated than being superficial and unobservant. In fact, these conditions are remarkably alike. Show me someone without prejudices and you have just shown someone who is dead from the neck up and doesn’t realize it.

***

What that report was saying, in a nutshell, is that all
discrimination is ignorant prejudice. That is very Orwellian. How
can we fail to observe differences in colour, shape, sex, speech,
etc, etc. Why must we treat everyone as an equal?

I can see no advantage in mixing with other ethnicities. We should
have an instinct against it since miscegenation is a survival
disadvantage to a healthy ethnicity. (The more harmful genes in the
group the more the urge turns to outbreeding - fresh blood. This is
a disturbing fact.)

I just watched the “documentary” of the migrations of mankind on the “bradshawfoundation .com. Luckily, I have a strong stomach and had a nice settling breakfast this morning. What fanciful nonsense! I encourage everyone interested in this subject to watch this illustrated movie. One of the key and actually pivotal aspects of the theory presented consists of the effects of the explosion of Mt. Toba on the island of Sumatra in ~70kya. This documentary suggests that India and Pakistan were depopulated by this explosion and ashfall rather than Southeast Asia and South China. In other words, the authors suggest a very unusual behavior to the volcanic explosion of Toba. As a consequence of the earth’s rotation and prevailing winds (Jet Stream) volcanic fall out occurs to the east of exploding volcanoes rather than to the west. If you watch this illustration, you will see why they have the effects of Toba going west instead of correctly to the east. The geologically correct behavior of Mt. Toba would ruin an otherwise manageable tale. In other words, their migratory pathways together with the Mt. Toba event would have eliminated their East Asian population of migrants and potential migrants. None of this is surprising. This is what you get when you try to make facts fit a political preconception.

In addition to fudging the effects of Mt. Toba, this illustration suggests rather obliquely that the origin of Native Americans is some sort of amalgamation of migrants from India (straight north over the highest mountains on earth), Southeast Asia, and East Asia. They even have Japan populated from the north when it could been populated from nearly any part of North China and/or Korea. If anyone has any doubts about the frailty of the Out of Africa dogma, take a look at this bit of creative science.

Anti-British Bias in Britain [the multi-cult Left hates the indigenous inhabitants of the British Isles]

Fire chiefs in Britain have barred white males from recruitment
sessions in a desperate bid to make 15 per cent of staff women and 3
per cent ethnic minority. The Avon Fire Service held five open-days
with four of those days strictly limited for ethnic minorities and
women.

500,000 foreigners settled in Britain last year. 200,000 Britons left
the country. Guess the ethnic-racial makeup of the respective groups.
Okay, don’t guess: over 200,000 were from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh
and Sri Lanka.

You do the maths. At this rate the future of Britain is easy to see.
The population, because of immigration, grows by the size of a city of
Bristol’s population every year.

German Nationalism challenged by murder?

Germans who still want to be Germans express normal xenophobic characteristics when non-Germans claim Germany as their home and kill Germans to assert their views/right to live in Germany.

Buchanan unloads on nigger-animals

Nigger-animals doing what comes naturally: looting.

Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America’s fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.

Subsubhuman Nigger-animals can’t even sit down and shut the hell up in church. They just have to hop to their feet, shuffle some, shout out and make noise. Can’t just sit there and maybe try to learn something, meditate and reflect. Everything’s a chimpfest, even worship.

In case you have doubts that evil kikes (to use a tautology) want the biological destructon of Whites

Watch the video here:

MajorityRights.com did a book review on author Alon Ziv’s book, “Breeding Between the Lines.” The evil jew (to use a tautology) even chimed in and was further destroyed (see comments at link). He withdrew with his tail between his legs here.

The diabolism of wicked, genocidal kikes has no limits. In his hatred of Whites, and only a kike can hate thus, Ziv wants the destruction of Whites. KIKES WANT OUR BIOLOGICAL EXERMINATION, WHITE MAN!
