Social change

Funny line from an article about Jason Richwine and the Hispanic IQ witchery panic:

Q. Does the rank order of how groups perform on cognitive tests ever change?

A. Sure. When I first got interested in the social sciences in 1972, the usual rank order of cognitive performance was Oriental, then Caucasian, Chicano, and black. Now, it’s Asian, then white, Latino, and African-American. So everything is different.

The man was convinced that continued coexistence of blacks and whites would be bad for everyone. People forget that these men knew what they were doing.

Anonymous said...: I wonder, if indeed IQ has a genetic basis, why is that? Do blacks and latinos have a general physical advantage over whites and asians? Perhaps the demands of a more hostile environment lead blacks and the natives who were ancestors to latinos to favor mates with greater physical prowess, whilst Europeans were able to establish a stable living environment via agriculture, and came to value mates who had greater ingenuity and creativity. I am curious if there are trends in intelligence in ethnic groups that invented agriculture. The Native Americans throw off this trend, due to the architectural prowess of the Central and South American natives, and Jefferson praised the natives of the Eastern United States as being as sophisticated as whites, and may even be comparatively more intelligent due to their smaller population.

I don't hate latinos and blacks. If I did, I certainly wouldn't watch porn with latino and black performers. But some things just don't add up. If genetics hold the key for everything about us, like liberals like to invoke with homosexuality, then why is it so unlikely that genes that govern intelligence have general difference between races like other features.

I'm not saying I accept the theory out of hand. But I certainly will not reject the theory until it is disproven, and is not merely denounced because it contradicts the sacred texts of the ruling class.

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
