Raceology

One does not get places in politics by changing peoples’ minds. One gets places by articulating and channeling sentiments that already exist. The Second World War made the civil rights movement possible in the United States. After the revelations of the Holocaust fewer people wanted to believe that racial differences matter, or that they even exist. Ironically the Nazi effort to exterminate the most superior race in existence led to the belief that there are no inferior races. Moreover, American Negroes contributed loyally to the war effort. Many people could not understand why a black, battle scared combat veteran of the War could not dine in a restaurant that served white men who had not been in uniform. It helped that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a leader of genius, whose "I have a dream speech" is considered by many, including me, to be one of the greatest speeches in the English language.  Finally, segregationists harmed their cause by responding violently to ...

Posted by John Engeman Edited by Independent Thinker Paul Krugman, seems to have become more woke since he wrote this, "open immigration can’t coexist with a strong social safety net; if you’re going to assure health care and a decent income to everyone, you can’t make that offer global." https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/26/the-curious-politics-of-immigration/ Prejudice can be seen as the wisdom of those with less education, just as enlightenment can be seen as the unjustified conceit of well educated people who suffer from what George Orwell called "money sheltered ignorance." In recent years I have come reluctantly to suspect that in states with large black populations legally sanction segregation was based on sound instinct. I see no value in third world immigration. Even the immigration of groups I like depresses wages, and contributes to the growing income gap. The United States has the highest murder rate of any affluent democracy. The re...

Jane Moss, American Renaissance, May 12, 2020 I began teaching 20 years ago at a majority-black public middle school. The behavior of the black students was so outrageous, it bordered on unbelievable. Their respect for authority and teachers was less than nothing. They would pull my hair to see if it was real, sometimes standing around me playing with my hair like animals performing grooming rituals. Other times, they would push their faces into my abdomen, take a deep breath, and comment on the way I smelled. I’ve even had students tell me they could smell my “coochie” and shove their hand between my legs from behind. They stole anything that was left on the desk without a hint of shame. Once, I had my toddler’s toy cell phone on my desk because I was repairing the antenna that had broken off it. When class started and students filed into the room, the cell phone was instantly swept away. At the end of class, a black student came up to me, dropped the toy phone on my desk a...

    As I'm writing the very belated raceology blog anniversary post, which should have have happened over half of a year ago, I wanted to also post this video and to remember the Nobel Prize winning physicist Dr. William Shockley, ( February 13, 1910 – August 12, 1989 ). He was the co-inventor of the transistor, which is used in all modern day computing, and electronic technology. He was a professor at Stanford, and at one point became very concerned with the problem of dysgenics in society.  He started to do research, and he found evidence that suggested that Blacks tend to be less intelligent than Whites on average, and that intelligence is largely hereditary.  He also found evidence to suggest that Blacks seem to have a higher rate of dysgenic fertility than Whites.  The graphic he liked to use showed that the fertility rate of rural and less educated Black females was much higher than that of the college educated Black females. This ratio for Blacks was sig...

Hi all, thought I might put this up for a while in case it might cheer people up.  I love Gene Wilder and his movies.  The real movie I wanted to put up was Start the Revolution Without Me, but I couldn't find it thus I chose an alternate film. A clip of start the revolution can be found here: I watched it when I was a teenager and loved it. Anyway Young Frankenstein was actually a much better received Gene Wilder movie often considered one of his best.  So here it is.  (note: that is not my upload or account, out of respect for the owner of the video I will take this link down after about a week, I just put it up here in case anyone wanted to watch it for a while, consider it a "clubhouse" film screening)

Many in the West see Confucius as the founder of a religion. Confucius did not see himself that way. In Chapter VII, 1 of “The Sayings of Confucius” he said, “I transmit, but I do not create; I am sincerely fond of the ancient. I would compare myself to our Old P’eng who was fond of talking about the good old days.” Confucius can be faulted for idealizing China’s past. Archaeology demonstrates that centuries before his time Chinese governments gave human sacrifices on a large scale. Nevertheless, one can agree with what he said in Chapter II, 16 “It is indeed harmful to come under the sway of utterly new and strange doctrines.” Confucius can most accurately be seen as a moral and political philosopher, who also discussed theology. He often spoke of the rites, and wanted them to be carried out in the proper manner. Nevertheless, his emphasis was on religious practice, rather than religious doctrine. In Chapter VII, 21 it is written: The Master did not speak of anomalies...

Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War,” may seem to be an incongruous Taoist classic. The greatest of the Taoist classics is “Tao Te Ching,” by Lao Tsu. In this Lao Tsu writes, ‘Whenever you advise a ruler in the way of Tao, council him not to use force to conquer the universe… “Weapons are instruments of fear; they are not a wise man’s tools. He uses them only when he has no choice. Peace and quiet are dear to his heart. And victory is no cause for rejoicing. If you rejoice in victory, then you delight in killing.” http://www.amazon.com/Tao-Te-Ching-Lao-Tsu/dp/039471833X Nevertheless, Sun Tzu does not exalt in war. He regards it as occasionally a regrettable necessity. One should only fight when one has to, and when victory can be reasonably assured. He does not explain how one should respond to a powerful aggressor. He would probably recommend a negotiated surrender. The Mongolians devastated those who resisted them. They were merciful to those who surrendered without fighting. Sun Tzu writes...
