The Realities of Race in America, 2021

_{EDITOR’S NOTE: Thanks to Odysseus for granting us the non-exclusive rights to publish his thoughts. This article is a treatise on the current state of race relations in the United States of America, and possible conclusions that can be drawn from them.

Two significant and profound questions arise from the past eleven months of violent outbursts by urban blacks. The first is political. “Why does this country tolerate it?” The second and more anthropologically interesting question is “Why is there such a clear inability of underclass blacks to understand evidence, or law, or really, to understand much of anything?”

Of the countless explanations given for the poor behavior and the poor performance of blacks in the US, one of them dares not speak its name: low intelligence.

Yet all the evidence points to this. Low intelligence would explain why Africa never developed cities, why Africans did not devise writing, why there was no African Fifth Century Athens. It explains why the former British colony, and later the nation, of Rhodesia, a prosperous exporter of food when ruled and administered by Whites, fell almost immediately into hunger, disease, and primal barbarism when the Whites left. It explains the utter dysfunction of black run societies from Africa to Haiti, from Chicago to Atlanta. It explains why blacks invariably score far below Whites, below Asians, and typically below Hispanics on every IQ test which has been devised, on the SAT’s, the GRE’s, the LSAT’s, and on the entrance & promotion exams for fire departments and police departments.

It explains the need for affirmative action, racial quotas in university admittance policies, and for departments of “Black Studies” in universities when the black undergraduates can’t perform in a normal academic curriculum of study, where STEM courses are akin to hieroglyphics. It explains why the gap in academic achievement never narrows, much less closes. It explains the criminality, the violence, the poor impulse control, the dependence on welfare (custodial care), the high rates of unemployment, and the total inability to integrate themselves into a highly technological society.

It explains the constant scandals involving teachers in black schools giving students the answers to standardized tests.
Further, it explains why none of the programs intended to raise the performance of blacks in US public schools have ever succeeded. Head Start didn’t work. Integrated schools didn’t work, nor did segregated schools, nor black schools with White teachers nor black schools with black teachers. Expensive laboratories and free computers for every black student didn’t work. Schools run entirely by blacks with astronomically high per-student expenditure (Washington DC for example) didn’t work. There is no indication that anything at all will ever work.

Occam’s Razor would suggest that low intelligence is the obvious explanation. There is precious little evidence to counter this conclusion.

There are endless evasions for those who seek mightily to avoid this unavoidable truth. Written tests are racially biased against blacks, verbal examinations are biased against blacks, all tests designed to measure cognitive ability by any scale are, without exception, biased against blacks. Africa is primitive because of colonialism, or for geographic reasons, or because the indigenous people of sub-Saharan Africa just liked hunting and gathering. Detroit blacks are largely functionally illiterate because of slavery, or low self-esteem, or because of institutional racism, which apparently means undetectable racism… On and on.

If the consequences did not have such deleterious effects on others and on our very culture it might be needless, or even cruel, to mention this cognitive deficit. But they do affect society, and the consequences are both corrosive and devastating. It results in the intellectual degradation of the schools to which the bright go, and it retards the development of our most intelligent, that high-end brain power upon which the prosperity of this society depends. It results in the racial conflagration in Minneapolis, MN and the several dozen other US cities wracked by the racially driven riots of the past year.

Among the professional clinicians who study human intelligence, the racial disparity is not debated. It is evident, it is peer-reviewed, and it is accepted. I suspect that it is quite evident to many White liberals who fear the question: If we openly admit the obvious, what now? And would they be invited to any more cocktail parties of the politically correct?
And so, if psychometrists state the truth publicly, they are shouted down and labeled as racists, bigots, even as “neo-Nazis”, and as pseudoscientists. This in particular they are not. Rather, they are highly intelligent and competent statisticians, far more aware than the public of the various possible sources of error. The actual achievement levels of blacks closely parallels the predictions produced by these psychometrics.

These scholars are worth reading. Read “Social Consequences of Group Differences in Cognitive Ability” by Linda Gottfredson of the University of Delaware, long but extremely comprehensive. Also, read “The Bell Curve” by psychologist Richard Herren and political scientist Charles Murray. “A Question of Intelligence” by Daniel Seligman is also very concise and clear.

Unfortunately, understanding their writings (should one wish to) requires some faint memory of eighth-grade algebra, such as the meaning of a statistical curve, and some knowledge of mathematics beyond simple arithmetic. This alone eliminates most of those who dispute the evidence.

A glance at the data reveals that there will be a quite small number of very smart blacks and a somewhat larger number of fairly smart blacks, in comparison to the larger pool of their co-racialists. This we see. They are the black engineers and the black programmers, arguably performing at or below the fiftieth percentile of accepted norms in those professions. Some of these blacks appear on television as “well-educated” talking heads, carefully reading in clear and proper English, words written by others. To Whites who never see or come into contact with any other blacks, this gives the impression that since these blacks are “like White people”, all of them would be if it weren’t for racial discrimination. If only that were so. But it isn’t.

What are the implications? First, we will see a continued escalation of hostility by blacks toward Whites. This often manifests as outright visceral hatred, as seen in last summer’s BLM driven riots and the countless attacks by blacks upon Whites, which are carefully and consistently under-reported in any mass media. Only with the widespread prevalence of internet access and the rise of alternative media has this concealment by the judeo-marxist lugenpresse even begun to be thwarted. If blacks cannot rise, and it certainly seems as though they cannot, they will remain sullen, angry, and violent in perpetuity. Then what?

If anyone doesn’t believe this hostility does not exist, or that the intensity is being overstated, read their rap music lyrics. Many many examples could be cited. Here is one:

“Niggas in the church say kill whitey all night long… White man is the devil… the crips and the bloods are soldiers I’m recruiting without no dispute; drive-by shooting on that white genetic mutant… let’s go kill us some rednecks… menace clan ain’t afraid… I got the .380’s, the homies think I’m crazy ‘cause I shot a White baby: I said, I said, kill whitey all night long… a nigga dumping on your White ass, fuck this rap shit nigga, I’m gonna blast… I beat a White boy to the muthafuckin’ ground…”

“Kill Whitey” – Menace Clan in “Da Hood, 1995

Not encouraging.

Second, things will get – are getting – worse. First world countries, as more and more technologically driven societies, require citizens with a high level of intellectual capacity in order to function. Automation is eating rapidly away at the low-end jobs for which most blacks are typically qualified. So does the presence in the labor pool of relatively newly arrived Mexicans and other non-mestizo Latinos.

In technological societies, people on the bottom at some point become unnecessary, unemployable for anything at any wage. This happens now to blacks, and soon will to unintelligent Whites. The obvious difference for these Whites, is that they are our people and will always belong, whereas blacks, as “the other” and a pathologically violent other at that, do not and will not. The unnecessary will need, and do need, to be kept in custodial care, however disguised it may be. The alternative is starvation.

Third, serious conflict is likely between blacks and Hispanics. There is currently no love between the two. Today when Hispanics move into a neighborhood, they drive the blacks out. They are perceptibly brighter and they work much harder. For the moment blacks hold the upper hand politically, but as Latinos grow in number and in their proportion of the electorate, a train wreck is coming this way.

Fourth, the danger of serious conflict between Whites and blacks will continue to increase. I believe that even now only heavy federal pressure and dissimulation by the media keep the cork in that bottle. Among Whites, a very large proportion loathes affirmative action and racial preferences in hiring, the degraded educational standards blacks bring with them, the tolerance of their myriad of criminal pathologies, and the compulsory integration of blacks among us.

As the economy under the Biden administration declines further and jobs, particularly well paying jobs, become scarcer, the likelihood that jobless Whites will openly rebel against racial preferences, set-asides, and affirmative action in its various forms. The hidden rock in the current is that if affirmative action and other programs favoring blacks in hiring were eliminated, blacks would almost disappear except in sports and entertainment. Because of the entitled nature fostered in those people by the left, there would be hell to pay, though in what currency isn’t clear. The images of burning US inner cities however, are not difficult to foresee.

What can we do? What should we do? Leftists and adherents of the status quo will say the best course of action is to take no real or effective action, to continue on as now, to regard affirmative action and the other similar programs as a tax on efficiency, a tax on productivity and on our advancement as a civilization, to tolerate the racially motivated attacks as preferable to the riots which would result from not tolerating them, and to just clean up after the riots which occur anyway.

To merely temporize, hold the lid on, and let others worry about finding and implementing actual solutions later. This is certainly the course advocated by the feds and by the judeo-marxist major media. The question is whether their position of simply “kicking the can down the road” can be made to stick.

Another possible approach, conceivable though barely so given the climate of appeasement and accommodation from our “woke” culture and government toward the ever demanding blacks, is to quietly re-institute segregation in the more combustible areas of society. One of these areas is law enforcement. If only black police officers worked in majority black areas, possibly fewer cities would burn. Public schools are another flashpoint. If segregated schools were re-instituted, and black schools given more funding per student than White schools to negate complaints about unequal resources, each race could educate its children as it saw fit. Finally, allowing people to re-segregate and live among whom they choose to live among would reduce racial friction. These measures, though stop-gaps, might work… for awhile.

The third “solution” isn’t exactly the word but “possibility” fits, is carefully called “civil unrest” when what is meant is “race war”. Black extremists have often called for it, and many Whites think (mostly to themselves) “bring it on”. Read “Black Mobs and the Coming Race War”, a column by Thomas Sewell. Also read “The Coming Race War in America” by the late black columnist Carl Rowan.

The major media outlets have virtually no idea what is going on. Their reporters live in a bubble of political correctness, policing one another stringently, and have little contact with the seething black underclass or with much of America outside the DC Beltway. Books such as “Face to Face With Race” by Jared Taylor details this underclass, but few of them have read them.

Such a race “war” would be a spontaneous and simultaneous – though uncoordinated – burning of many of the decayed urban kraals. Blacks would quickly lose. Whites are much more numerous, food comes not from Kroger but from remote farms generally owned by Whites, welfare checks do not magically materialize in post office boxes, EBT’s require IT infrastructure to replenish, and so on.

The potentially mortal peril to blacks however, is that while they have become accustomed to intimidating the passive and accommodating liberal urban Whites, they could easily push too far and find themselves in “flyover country”, and there engaged with a different sort of Whites altogether. A class of Whites clannish by nature, heavily armed and to a great extent very capable, from a culture also prone to violence and traditionally very accepting of dispute resolution by extra-legal means. There is also found among this sub-set of the White population an abundance of direct-fire ground combat veterans, particularly those who have participated in the endless desert wars fought by the US for over a generation now.

These are White men who will not be intimidated into submission and who are unburdened by the White guilt and leftist ideology which governs the actions of too many urban Whites.

In short, the blacks who pushed for this result will have made a very serious error, for which they will all suffer mightily.
