Why
Left Wingers Fear Debating Race
QUOTE
For
as long as there have been public debates about race, liberals [
lefties ] have tried
to restrict the spectrum of allowed speech by declaring their
opponents' best arguments out-of-bounds. They corrupt the governing
rules of forums with administrative policies that establish their own
views on the subject of race as the only permissible views and define
dissent as "hate speech." Then if anyone disagrees with the
liberal thinking, he will be found guilty of "violating the
rules" and banned.
In other
words, the liberals gain the power to write the rules, and then they
cheat while writing them. Their justification is preventing offence
to racial minorities. Although there's nothing wrong with choosing to
remain silent in order to avoid giving offence, the freedom of speech
has a higher value than politeness does. When one value must be
sacrificed to preserve another, then the lesser should be let go and
the greater kept.
What the liberals are doing, of course, is
levelling heresy charges against racism, and then acting as both
prosecutor and judge of the matter. Whether racists sometimes make
good arguments, in the sense that they include statements that are
both important and true, doesn't matter to liberals, who don't
consider truth to be a defence. The better a racist's argument is,
the more it threatens to expose the errors of liberalism, and
therefore liberals are more inclined to call for the censorship of
thoughtful racist arguments than for the censorship of poor
ones.
These are the same liberals who argue that
anti-Christian themes in movies, such as Martin Scorsese's "The
Last Temptation of Christ," and in art, such as Andres Serrano's
"Piss Christ" crucifix in a jar of urine, ought to be
protected speech despite their offensiveness to many Christians. What
blasphemous themes are to Christians, racist opinions are to
liberals. Liberals always seek censorship of racist arguments so that
they will not have to present opposing arguments that they might not
be capable of presenting.
It isn't necessarily wrong to
exclude points of view on a board. If the stated purpose of a forum
is to glorify a particular god, race, political philosophy, or brand
of consumer goods, then it's perfectly all right for the board's
owner or moderator to come along and censor posts inconsistent with
the forum's mission. You can legally criticize Jesus, but you
shouldn't go into a church to do it. If you do, the preacher has the
right to throw you out.
But when a board's stated purpose is
to engage in debate, for the purpose of arriving at the truth, or at
a better understanding of the reasons for disagreement, then a priori
restrictions on unpopular views are hypocritical attempts to "fix"
the debate so that only the popular point of view can seem to win.
The advocates of the unpopular viewpoint (racists in this case) will
be allowed only to score small points with their lesser and more
oblique arguments, while the liberals can bring forth their whole
array of verbiage unfettered by any fear that they will be
censored.
To give the liberals ground for calling for the
censorship of racist opinions, the rules of debate are written to
exclude racist opinions and, even more especially, the reasoning
behind those opinions. "Racist remarks" and "hate
speech" are ruled illegal, and then the rule is used not only to
prevent racial insults, but also to censor arguments that the
liberals find to threatening too their belief system to deal with
forthrightly.
That's how things are in most race-related
debates. They are not so much "debates" as controlled
pretences thereof. It's surprising to find a media venue that will
host ideas that fall outside the spectrum of opinion that liberals
are comfortable with, e.g., by letting racists present the case for
racism, in their own write, unedited and without
preconditions.
Note: The above short essay, "Debate
Restrictions," was used as my answer to the question "Why
is everybody so politically correct?" which appeared on Yahoo
Answers. Someone reported it as being in violation of Yahoo's terms
of service, and the Yahoo staff evidently agreed with the fink, since
they deleted my answer and docked me ten points.
Race a
heritable, biological, physical reality. It is not a "social
construct."
Part 1.
The idea that race is a "social
construct" has made me smile more than once during debates with
liberals. Referring to human differences that are real –
biological and innate – as "social constructs" is one
of the ways liberals, including many Marxists and feminists,
trivialize that over which they have no control. Harangue and confuse
the multitudes as they may, liberals have never once seen their
wishes overcome natural laws, and they never will.
The
differences between the hominid races are as real (if not as large)
as those between gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans. While it is
true that only a small percentage of genes is responsible for racial
differences, we do not judge the significance of those differences by
counting genes. We judge their significance by the qualities and
performance factors of the organisms that those genes create.
If
one race-car engine differs only slightly in design from another
race-car engine, but that little difference results in one having
significantly more horsepower than the other, then what is the best
way to judge the importance of the difference in design? By
micrometers of cylinder diameter? By the viscosity of the motor oil?
Or by the accelerations and top speeds of the race-cars?
I
trust you now appreciate my argument.
What is "human
dignity"? It isn't an organ, nor a hormone. It isn't
biologically inherited, and, if it is inherited at all, it's by a
theological sort of inheritance, say, as a human supposedly acquires
a soul. Liberals are fond of saying that all people have inherent
human dignity, but in what does it inhere? The spleen, the liver? I
propose that all of the next four statements are equally silly:
Wolf, you may not eat me, for I have Human Dignity.
Lightning, you may not strike me, for I have Human Dignity.
Earthquake, you may not shake my house down on top of me, for I have Human Dignity.
Fellow humans, you must provide for me and carry me along on your backs, worthless though I am to you, for I have Human Dignity.
Although none of those four statements is more
cogent than any of the others, the last one is the only statement
likely to have an impact on its speaker's fortunes. Why? It's because
humans have minds able to hold social constructs, and human
dignity is a social construct. Physical
realities, such as race and gender, are not in that class.
Why
would anyone construct the idea of "human dignity"?
Basically, to get power. One has "human dignity" more or
less by the permission of liberals, who may strip it at will from
whomever they don't like: racists, for example.
Nature
produced the visible racial differences, which we usually notice on
inspection. Liberals declare that those "cosmetic"
differences are trivial. But then they declare that those are the
only differences
between the races. It would be a very strange thing indeed if nature,
which created all of the heritable differences between races, had
been aware of liberal sensibilities since the dawn of time, and had
carefully permitted only those racial differences having no social
significance of which liberals might disapprove. Do you see how silly
is the case for racial equality? It presumes that nature was somehow
required to do as the liberals would have done if they had been in
charge of writing nature's laws. Why do liberals make this vast
error?
Some criticism of liberals and the
way they think is in order here. Liberals have allowed a destructive
moral and social philosophy to form their political convictions, to
confound their view of the world, and to corrupt the way in which
their minds operate on information gathered by their senses. Their
unsound manner of thought leads to conclusions that are not merely
factually incorrect, but directly the opposite
of truth. They've called race, which really
does exist in nature, a social construct, and they have improperly
reified the social construct "human dignity."
Liberals
have confused the proper roles of perception, reason, and moral
sense. More carefully thoughtful people try first to determine the
facts of the world through the use of perception and reason, thus
answering the question "What is?" But liberals try first to
determine the facts of the world by using their moral sense, and they
confuse the question of "What is fair?" with the question
"What is?" Philosophers call that "the moralistic
fallacy."
Liberals insist that
everyone regard liberal ideas about fairness as the truth about the
world. And that is the basis of the doctrine of racial equality.
Scientifically, it belongs in the trash can.
Race
a heritable, biological, physical reality. It is not a "social
construct."
Part 2.
Race
is not a social convention; it is a biological fact. Race (or breed)
exists in many species, and it exists in ours whether we wish to
admit it or not. It's obvious despite the existence of ancient racial
hybrids and persons of recently mixed ancestry.
The
White race originated in a harsh, cold environment. Evolution for
Whites included a group selection favouring a certain amount of
altruistic, reciprocating behaviour, which led to their having an
inborn feel for concepts like justice, fair play, honour, duty and
loyalty. White groups, living at the glacier's edge, often found
altruism with reciprocity to be an advantageous way to live. It
allowed evolution to operate through "kin-selection," in
which an individual's sacrifice for his near relatives resulted in
the preservation of more of his genes than would have been saved by
more selfish behaviour.
Early European
tribes whose members helped each other, sometimes at the cost of
personal sacrifice, survived better (in the genetic sense) than those
who were motivated by the principle of ego. That's why their traits
have been preserved in us, despite the relatively recent advent of
various forms of materialism.
Whites
became civilized and grew very powerful. For a while, we dominated
the world. But at some point or other we made two mistakes. One of
them was our participation in slavery. We did not start slavery in
Africa — the Blacks did that themselves. But we bought the
slaves that Jewish traders (whose business offices were in London and
Amsterdam) brought to our shores, and ever since they have been no
end of trouble and expense to us.
Our
other mistake was becoming culturally arrogant. In our arrogance, we
assumed that the morality proper for White people is also proper for
non-Whites, that the way Whites live is also the way non-Whites
should live, and that our religion would be better for them than
their own native beliefs. Were we ever wrong.
We
mistakenly extended our in-group altruism to groups who had no
intentions to reciprocate. We let the Jews persuade us that racial
differences either do not exist or are not important, and, as a
result, we lost to them the political control of our own countries.
We can get it back, if we try hard enough, but first it is necessary
to convince enough of our people that the liberal propaganda they've
heard on the TV all their lives is nonsense.
That's
difficult because of a human evolutionary trait that makes us trust
the familiar with the presumption that it is truth. We believe what
we have always believed before, or what we've long been told. During
our evolution, this trust carried survival advantages because our
experience was with nature itself. But in our modern world, much of
our "experience," practically everything we know about the
world beyond our own neighbourhoods, comes from the media
pseudo-reality with which the Jews have been bedazzling us for the
past several generations.
In a situation
such as this, our biological habit of trusting the familiar betrays
us, because many people are "familiar" with a glamorized
and false picture of natural law and of human nature.
We
rush to sacrifice our money in an orgy of alms-giving every time
we're shown hungry Black African children, while similarly hungry
White children in our own Appalachian mountains remain unfed. Charity
is something that should begin at home. Institutions established by
White people should serve White people first, foremost, and —
apart from a specific mandate to do otherwise —
exclusively.
Given enough time, the
practice of undiscriminating altruism will destroy the White race.
The other races will bleed us dry, and then they will sweep us away.
It is probably the relative shortness of the human lifespan, compared
to the march of events in history, that allows Liberalism, with its
denial of the consequences of defying natural laws, to exist. You,
personally, haven't seen Big Things happen, so you figure that Big
Things just don't happen — like extinction.
If
Whites do not check their altruism by bringing it back within the
bounds of their own group, by "discriminating" on the basis
of race, then Whites will be displaced by groups who consistently act
in their own self-interest (i.e., by groups who are "more
racist" than Whites are). One way or another, racism will exist
in the future. The only question is whether there will be any Whites
left in the world, or whether we will die out. Nature tests all
living things, and its tests are always fair. Nature did not ask us
for our preferences when it was making us. Ethnic and racial groups
in proximity to each other always compete, and those who would
survive had better learn to be serious competitors.
Psychological
Conditioning: A slow but deadly form of warfare.
Until
about 1970, the phrase "the White race" was used to refer
to what most people now call "people of European descent."
In fact, the former term is the more precise, whereas the latter is
less specific and more malleable, and thus more prone to the sort of
confusion under which non-Whites can play the "citizenship
equals nationality" switcheroo game. In fact, race equals
nationality:
Nationality...
(parallel
word) nativity
(extract root)
natal
(translate) birth
(infer
meaning) heredity
(reword meaning)
bloodline
(reword meaning) race
Citizenship,
by contrast, is membership in what, literally, is a country club.
Countries are usually begun by races in order to provide them with
political means for advancing their interests in the world. But races
that get careless can lose control of their countries. Not only can
their clubhouse be overrun by conquerors, but, alternatively, a race
can lose control of its country by a steady influx of infiltrators,
especially if those infiltrators are expert at dishonest tricks in
the use of "parliamentary procedure."
The
point, however, is that citizenship is not nationality. Race is
nationality. Citizenship is a legal thing. Nationality is a
biological thing.
Because it conveys our
sense of race exactly, it was used by anthropologists and by laymen
alike, but for reasons I'll get to shortly the use of the phrase "the
White race" was rapidly abandoned beginning about 1970.
Today,
almost any White person saying "the White race" in the
company of Whites will get a bad reaction, the commonest being
distaste and condemnation, both of which being often expressed in
overly loud tones. People who are afraid to be seen as
non-conformists tend to go overboard to show how perfectly they
conform; it's a kind of defence mechanism for herd minds.
There's
a sense of risk, now, in uttering the phrase "the White race,"
except as a diagram in a social lesson on political correctness. In
about 20 years, the words that most particularly describe us went
from being accepted anywhere to being banned from polite
conversation. Those 20 years did nothing to the words or their
meaning; it is our attitude about them that changed.
The
decline of the phrase "the White race" is a symptom of a
massive shift in White people's attitudes and behaviour that began
about a century ago, was accelerated after the Second World War, and
accelerated again about 1970. By 1990, nearly the entire White race
had a form of Stockholm
syndrome:
a fear of offending non-Whites and a tendency to grovel before them.
It's an adaptation that hostages and slaves often undergo, in order
to endure the loss of their freedom and to survive the dangers of
captivity. The infusion of the White race with this fear-motivated
wish to please the foreigner was the Jews' single most important
triumph with applied psychology via the mass media.
All
sorts of tricks were used to instill fear in Whites through movies
and television. I'll mention one of them to highlight the method.
About 1970, television producers began to invent and dispense an
ominous mystification of oriental martial arts: judo, karate, and
later the Chinese and Korean variants. The Asians discovered and
taught some useful fighting techniques based on the mechanics of
human architecture, but the Jews created a psychological weapon from
the idea itself, which they turned against White people to make them
believe that "kung fu experts" are omnipotent, and any
Asian person might be a "kung fu expert," so you'd better
not mess with them. Instead, it is safer to give way any time your
will and an Asian's wishes are in conflict. Let the Asian have what
he wants, and maybe you won't get a karate chop for your
impertinence.
Generalize that, and you've
got the basis of the Jewish psywar strategy.
The
Jews later expanded on the idea with a long string of TV dramas and
movies showing small women (heroines of the stories) tossing large
men (bad guys) over shoulder and then kicking them into submission.
The obvious message was that good triumphs over evil. The subtexts,
seldom mentioned but universally understood, were "women are
good, men are evil" and "women who learn Asian martial arts
can easily beat up on men." The feminists loved it, of course,
but they were also under Jewish leadership.
Real
life paralled art, even if the acting talent was inferior and the
story endings were less tidily scripted. Whites were taught to fear
non-Whites. White men and White women were estranged from each other.
The "hard cases" in real life were shown TV dramas about
hard cases whose stubborn adherence to old-fashioned ways caused them
nothing but grief and harm, all of which was of course their own
fault. The new ways were the righteous ways, the liberal ways, and
anything in conflict with them, most especially the traditions of
European culture, were evil and "outmoded" - if I may
borrow the term the Jews used to refer to European tradition.
It's
gone to the point, now, where White men are being erased from
representation in commercial advertisements. Not completely so, since
that would be too obvious. But watch your TV, or go into your nearest
Wal-Mart or Rite-Aid and calculate the percentage of White men among
the people who appear in the poster advertisements mounted around the
store. White men are 36% of the American population (2005). But less
than five percent of the people shown in the ads are White men. Why
had you not noticed this already? If you happen to live in an area
dominated by non-Whites, and believe that your local store's display
ads are meant to reflect the racial proportions among the local
residents, then I must assure you that this is not the case. In West
Virginia, which is 96% White, White men are less than 5% of the
people shown in the ads.
As I said, nearly
every White person today has Stockholm syndrome. It's a disease of
the mind that can be transmitted by mass media employed as agitprop
weapons. But since the disease is so ubiquitous, and since nearly
every White person acquired it at about the same time, it does not
appear to us in its true form: a mental disorder. Instead, most
Whites regard their ingrained fear of non-Whites (and the corollary
self-righteous self-abasement) as normal. And they regard the few
exceptions who never acquired that fear, or who cured themselves of
it, as "racists."
To put it
differently, racism is the normal, healthy condition. It's the
condition that anyone who is not White usually has and sometimes
flaunts.
Sometimes elderly White people
committed to nursing homes experience a more intensive form of
behaviour modification. Terror, backed up as necessary by deprivation
or physical pressure, can eventually break anyone, however
strong-willed he might be. It can convert a racist to a fervent
espousal of racial equality. It can also do the reverse.
It's
even more prevalent in prisons. Confined in prison among Blacks with
no system of protection (such as a White prison gang), White
prisoners acquire a layer of Stockholm syndrome more proximate than
the layer imposed on the general public.
It
happened to Patty Hearst too, for other reasons but by the same
methods.
America was the Land of the Free.
But now it's one gigantic Room 101 in Oceania's Ministry of Love. Bow
down, ye Whites, and be ye traitors to each other, or the rats will
be loosed on your faces! Most Whites have had the will to oppose
Jewish multicultural aims cowed or beaten out of them, with the
proportion of force to fear being determined by how readily the
victim succumbs to fear.
The changes in
outlook, from racism to professed liberalism, that intimidation can
induce in some people in no way changes the meaning of state and
federal crime statistics. The ten-to-one Black to White ratio in the
per capita crime rates still means what it meant yesterday, and it
will continue to mean the same thing even after ten million more
elderly Whites undergo multicultural "conditioning" inside
a nursing home.
