..."Genetically, all are equally capable."<br /><br />Peter, this is demonstrably untrue. Yes, there are the few who have a higher IQ, but they are very rare. That is true even here in the US, after many years of genetic mixing with other races to some extent, and the culture and schooling they live with.<br /><br />There is a caveat to referencing blacks in the US on this subject. The question is whether intelligence was deselected in the choosing of slaves for the North America and Carribean slave trade. I don't recall ever seeing anything historical on the subject, but this could have a bearing on it in either direction of IQ level.<br /><br /><br />Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-40937227672212979572019-04-22T18:07:20.251-05:002019-04-22T18:07:20.251-05:00One thing to remember about the coming ChiCom colo...One thing to remember about the coming ChiCom colonization of Africa.<br />Yes, they're putting their own people in place to run things but, and it's a big one, they're also ruthless enough that any African that tries to pull any shit will soon find himself as an example to the other tribe members.Ralph Gizziphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04923672128816386548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-82356832196170774332019-04-22T17:59:24.747-05:002019-04-22T17:59:24.747-05:00But...but...but...

The difference are vast however. There are occasional top quality individuals that are black, but they're rare, because to the innate characteristics of blacks towards stupidity and crime.<br />Most "white supremacists" just want to be left alone and to not have the costs of diversity imposed on them. Whites in Africa are the only thing that makes life there at all possible at anything beyond a subsistence level. Whites built everything, blacks can't run things, CANNOT. it doesn't matter if it's genetic (most likely) or cultural (highly unlikely) regardless of if it's cultural or genetic, blacks are incapable of civilization at any scale anywhere in the world at the present time. Therefore jim crow or apartheid is the only way to avoid the crime, property destruction and general lowering of life that comes from the presence of blacks. Alternatively, we could just racially separate, but then all the blacks would die. You can moralize all you want, but the facts speak for themselves.

The difference in DNA between white and black is so tiny as to be negligible. Genetically, all are equally capable. (This is also demonstrated by the number of top-quality individuals: all races are represented there.) It's not <i>race</i> so much as <i>culture</i> that is the problem.<br /><br />As for white "supremacy" . . . I somehow think that history demonstrates as much bias, intransigence, stupidity, ignorance and overweening arrogance among whites as it does among any and all other race(s). What's worse: the tribal-culture, illiterate, low-IQ black people the Belgians found in the Congo (to name but one example), or the white colonizers who saw nothing wrong in working millions of those black people to death, maiming and brutalizing them to maximize the economic rape of that country for the benefit of the megalomaniac King Leupold II?<br />Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595089829300831372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-53045158652095079612019-04-22T13:05:08.077-05:002019-04-22T13:05:08.077-05:00redneck, that wasn't an argument.

You get caught up and carried away with moralizing and virtue signalling and that in turn devolves into scolding and prattling. You wring your hands in the midst of this lethal idiocy and carnage and wail and sob “There’s nothing to be done!!!”<br /><br />Lemme help, Pastor. Do the body counts. Ignore the requirements of political correctness and your ego. Now: breathe. Are you calm?<br /><br />None of this was a problem when Whitey ran the show. In fact, he left policing of blacks to other blacks who made sure that black justice was simple swift, and utterly brutal. In those days we accepted the idea that blacks can’t govern themselves in a civilized fashion. Most blacks knew it too. That’s why black police were as harsh as they were with dissidents and rebels - they knew what would happen if guys like Nelson Mandela ever got the upper hand. That’s why a tiny handful of whites could rule a continent of blacks. Face the truth: a healthy life of servitude would be a dream come true for the vast majority of Africans today. But no matter. The Chinese will take care of this for us. And if the sanctimonious social justice warriors think The White Man’s Burden was tough on blacks, just you wait until the Yellow Man steps in to take over.<br /><br />Until we start acknowledging race reality this issue will only get worse and spread. All through history blacks were slaves, servants - or criminals. Any attempt to make Neolithic men into modern citizens is going to end in tears and blood.Glen Filthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256741311142364722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-60565584192040644132019-04-20T22:58:56.363-05:002019-04-20T22:58:56.363-05:00Theodore Dalrymple wrote, about his time in Rhodes...Theodore Dalrymple wrote, about his time in Rhodesia, that the black doctors he knew were just as good as the white doctors (Dalrymple is a physician who was working in a hospital) but that the black doctors were terribly handicapped by the obligation to provide for swarms of their relatives. <br /><br />Sub-Saharan Africa is like Afghanistan---it's basically insoluble.

A cat does a better job at being a cat than anything else in the world. Expecting it, or asking it, to be something other than a cat is a prescription for failure and frustration. <br /><br />There's a reason Western Civilization invented calculus, aircraft, high trust capitalist economies, penicillin, mass produced automobiles; the list is nearly endless. There's a reason why Africa did not invent those things. Wishing they had does not make it happen. <br /><br />Reality is an extremely difficult place to live; it's harsh, unforgiving, socially inconsiderate. No small wonder why humans, in large numbers sometimes, develop enough dislike of Reality to not just deny it but retreat from it. <br /><br />Western Civilization has enough manufacturing tolerance built into it in the form of economic and social surplus it that individuals, and groups of surprising size, can get away with denying Reality. <br /><br />That denial is possible only because the type of people who make up Western Civilization, especially those who spent a millenia designing and building it, had the capability to do so, and the compassion and empathy to allow the rest to enjoy those manufacturing tolerances even though they may have contributed less to creating them, and ignore the need to maintain them. <br /><br />Africa, unfortunately for Africa, has so few of those people - nearly none, in fact - that there has not been, nor will there ever be, an opportunity to emulate Western Civilization's successes. <br /><br />We don't have cats in our houses because of a desire to teach them clock repair, or how to write error-free software, but because we like cats, and no pet owner I know expects, or wants, their cat, or dog, parrot or goldfish, to be anything but what they are. That could be termed "understanding and embracing Reality." <br /><br />Why is it we can embrace Reality with Fluffy or Rover, but not Africa?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-37592686550018979002019-04-20T14:34:53.222-05:002019-04-20T14:34:53.222-05:00Peter,

The average IQ in Africa clearly shows that they will NEVER get to that point in development. NEVER. It's not possible. We can't really help them, as it's not possible for them to help themselves. Imposing a colonial system on them might be the kindest thing that could be done, but that won't happen, except by the Chinese to some extent, and that won't be beneficial to Africa, I expect.<br /><br />The biggest stumbling block, before the IQ situation, is their tribal systems. I'm wondering if that might be a genetic predisposition, as it is clearly visible in inner city blacks here in the US. The IQ situation is a devestating handicap for them, but adding tribal dynamics make it a showstopper. <br /><br />Quarantine might be needed, but with China in there, it won't happen, and I would expect them to pay a price for that. China already regrets their one-child policy.

Either we quarantine the whole continent to leave the smart folks in and let natural selection pressure forge a stable civilization.
