Heather Mac Donald, When Race Trumps Merit: How the Pursuit of Equity Sacrifices Excellence, Destroys Beauty, and Threatens Lives, DW Books, 2023, 319 pp, $28.99 hardcover, $9.99 kindle.

Heather Mac Donald’s seventh book is an account of the latest stage in America’s racial madness, reached since the death of George Floyd in May 2020. Insofar as current thinking has any principled basis, it lies in “disparate impact theory,” something that has been in place since the Supreme Court’s Griggs v. Duke Power Co. decision of 1971. That theory holds that whenever blacks are underrepresented in employment, housing, etc. in comparison with their numbers in the population, the only possible explanation is discrimination.

At present it is still possible, although dangerous, to challenge this fallacious idea by citing data on racial gaps in skills and behavior. But such data themselves are increasingly being attacked or hidden. This is the reason standardized test scores are being dropped from school admissions, for example. Such tests have never impeded the practice of racial preferences — different standards have simply been set for the different races. But they have continued to provide evidence of actual skill gaps. For that reason, nearly 2,000 colleges, including the entire University of California system, have now either banned the use of test scores or made them optional.

The next frontier is the rejection of the concept of accomplishment itself, since it leads inevitably to the realization that some people and groups accomplish more than others. The behavioral standards that make accomplishment possible cannot be left intact either. In the summer of 2020, the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC, declared that rationality, planning for the future, punctuality, delayed gratification, and being polite were aspects of white culture that “people of color” might not wish to internalize. We are sacrificing civilization itself to maintain the illusion of racial equality.

Medicine and science

When Race Trumps Merit is divided into three main sections, dealing with the worlds of medicine and science, the fine arts, and law and justice.

All the major medical organizations, including the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC), have embraced disparate impact theory. The AMA recently adopted an Organizational Strategic Plan to Embed Racial Justice and Advance Health Equity — 86 jargon-filled pages that, as Miss Mac Donald notes, “is virtually indistinguishable from a black studies department mission statement.” This document calls for “just representation of Black, Indigenous and Latinx people in medical school admissions as well as . . . leadership ranks.” Such representation is allegedly lacking only because people of color have been “excluded, exploited, and deprived of needed resources,” so it is now the AMA’s responsibility to “prioritize and integrate the voices and ideas of people and communities experiencing great injustice.”

Medical schools are dropping the entrance exam known as the MCAT due to the racial gaps it reveals. Instead, they are seeking out, as one admissions officer puts it, students with a “strong appreciation of human rights and social justice.” Blacks are apparently thought to excel in that regard.

In the curriculum itself, medical schools are replacing science with advocacy. More than half of the top 50 medical schools, for example, already require courses in “systemic racism.” As the author points out, part of the appeal of such requirements lies in the creation of new employment slots that can be filled by non-whites, but “every moment spent regurgitating social-justice jargon is time not spent learning how to keep patients alive.” Such practices are no doubt already costing lives, although that is difficult to document.

The new dispensation brooks no opposition. Edward Livingston, deputy editor at the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), participated in a podcast on “Structural Racism for Doctors” in February 2021. He agreed on the importance of making sure all people “have equal opportunities to become successful,” but thought that goal could be better achieved by considering socioeconomic disparities rather than alleged racial animus. JAMA quickly scrubbed the podcast from its website, fired Livingston, and began issuing apologies. The podcast was said to be “inaccurate, offensive, hurtful, and inconsistent with the standards of JAMA.” The journal announced it would be “instituting changes that will address and prevent such failures from happening again.”

An even fiercer reaction greeted Norman Wang of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in 2020 when he argued in the Journal of the American Heart Association for an end to racial preferences. Mr. Wang pointed out that years of research showed students admitted under quotas disproportionally drop out because of poor grades and have a harder time passing medical licensing exams. Miss Mac Donald quotes a president-elect of the American Heart Association who wondered out loud how such a paper could have been published, given its “unbalanced, unscientific, and untrue statements” — without citing a single example of such statements. The AAMC claimed Mr. Wang’s paper was factually inaccurate, also without examples. Another doctor denounced Mr. Wang’s “racist beliefs and paper” on Twitter. The editor of the journal apologized for publishing the article and retracted it, assuring readers it would be “improving” its peer-review process to avoid such “missteps” in the future. Mr. Wang not only lost his position as director at the University of Pittsburgh Heart and Vascular Institute, but was banned from all contact with medical students and residents. A lawsuit is pending.

One of Mr. Wang’s critics specifically complained that he “sends the message to minority trainees that they owe their position to affirmative action.” But this is indisputably correct: A large majority of blacks attend the schools they do only because of racial preferences. Academic gatekeepers would never defend the policy so fiercely unless they knew it was the only way to achieve racial proportionality. Yet they hope to enforce continued respect for the credentials and institutions they have corrupted.

Young white and Asian students can read the writing on the wall and are increasingly opting against medical careers. Meanwhile, China, America’s chief geopolitical rival, is undeterred by racial concerns. The author writes:

[China] identifies top math talent early on and gives mathematically gifted students accelerated instruction. [Its] rigorous university entrance exams reward achievement, not identity. Undergraduate math competitions provide a pipeline to the best graduate programs. These efforts are working. As of 2018, China ranked number one in the international tests of K-12 math, science, and reading known as PISA; the US ranked twenty-fifth. […] China will likely overtake the US in research dominance in the coming years [and] has already displaced the US in the production of high-impact research studies.

The fine arts

The Western artistic tradition is now called “racist” because it emerged in Europe and thus supposedly is an injustice to everyone else. The canonical repertoire of classical music, for example, is said to be white supremacist. Philip Ewell, music theory professor at Hunter College, claims that Beethoven is celebrated only for his whiteness and maleness. (Prof. Ewell has no explanation for why so many of the composer’s equally white and male contemporaries have fallen into oblivion.)

Prof. Ewell is also noted for his critique of early 20th-century musicologist Heinrich Schenker, who Miss Mac Donald notes had “developed an influential system of analysis that identifies the most important elements of a musical phrase in order to explain that phrase’s emotional impact and role within a work’s thematic development.” She writes:

In a keynote address at a November 2019 music theory conference, Ewell argued that Schenker’s ranking of notes and harmonies within a composition is merely a stand-in for a white-supremacist ranking of the races. The “white racial frame” of Schenkerian analysis has kept blacks from becoming music theorists.

In a similar vein, a speaker at a meeting of the prestigious Composers Forum in June 2020 told the assembled guests, “You are complicit in racism every time you listen to Handel’s Messiah.” Handel, as Miss Mac Donald explains, briefly held stock in a slave-trading company after receiving it in payment for a commission.

Classical music has been facing serious funding shortages, yet there always seems to be enough money for diversity bureaucrats. The Metropolitan Opera had been in the red long before Covid cost it $150 million in revenue. In December 2020, General Manager Peter Gelb told employees that financial cutbacks were a life-and-death matter. By February 2021, Met musicians had gone nearly a year without pay and the stagehands union was locked out. Yet that same month, the Met’s first Chief Diversity Officer — a woman with no background in music — started work. We have no word on her salary, but it is likely to have been generous, because she left a six-figure job at Harvard Law School to accept it.

In March 2020, members of the Philadelphia Orchestra agreed to a 20-percent pay cut in the hope of reducing a $15-million deficit. Then Covid hit and the Orchestra’s principal venue, the Kimmel Center, shut down for an entire year. Yet in October 2020, the orchestra managed to create a new vice presidency for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access. That position, too, was filled by someone without a musical background.

Orchestras and opera companies are now routinely accused of excluding black musicians and composers, although the obvious reality is that for decades they have been making special efforts to seek them out. The Juilliard School, for instance, has run a fellowship program for minority students since 1986. Miss Mac Donald writes, “Rather than requiring them to come to New York, Julliard set up regional auditions across the country. Minority applications rose fivefold, but minority admission remained low since most applicants were not qualified.” When black musicians do make the cut, they are so prized that they are treated with great tolerance. Unfortunately, they perceive this. For example, they know they can get away with lateness and absences that would not be tolerated in white students.

Anti-racism is now coming for the music curriculum. Departments are under pressure to eliminate the requirement for students to be able to read scores, as that supposedly has a disparate impact on non-whites. As the author explains, one of the distinguishing features of Western music is precisely that it is written down, unlike most other world music. She writes, “[N]otation allows us, miraculously, to hear what people were playing in the fifteenth century.” Such direct influence across the ages is one of the factors that allowed “an unparalleled transformation of style over seven centuries.”

The practice of blind auditioning, adopted long ago to combat the possible bias of judges, is now under attack. Yet Miss Mac Donald explains that eliminating it will not enable schools and orchestras to meet racial quotas because there are not enough qualified black musicians in the pipeline. A career as a classical musician requires an early start. As one put it, “[U]nless you start the violin at age seven, you won’t be auditioning for the New York Philharmonic when you are 25.” And ever fewer children are being exposed to classical music early: From 1962 to 1989, the percentage of high schools with orchestras declined from 67 to 17, while musical instruction programs have also disappeared. This has affected whites as well. Indeed, the most visible racial change in the world of classical music over the past decades has been a large increase in Asians. Only Asian families continue to insist on the necessary early discipline. The author concludes:

Without encouragement at home, the best hope for creating more black classical musicians is to restore widespread music education. The anti-racism advocates have said little about that imperative, however. It’s easier to extract racial quotas from compliant organizations than it is to engineer a change as profound as exposing students to a vanishing musical aesthetic.

Talented teachers with seemingly impeccable anti-racist credentials can be “cancelled” at a moment’s notice. Dona Vaughn was artistic director of opera at the Manhattan School of Music. She had endowed a scholarship specifically for minority musicians at her alma mater, Brevard College in North Carolina. This did not protect her from attacks when she produced Franz Lehár’s supposedly racist opera The Land of Smiles, but she seemed to weather that storm.

Then, in June 2020, she was teaching a class on musical theater via Zoom when an unidentified student suddenly rose to challenge her over the Lehár production from several years before. Since he was taking up class time with an irrelevant matter, she cut him off. A student petition declaring her a “danger to the arts community” quickly gathered more than 1,800 signatures. The petitioners found another proof of her “racism” in her having cast a black man as a butler (many of the best opera roles are servant roles). None of her colleagues came to her defense, and she was fired.

The sheer unpredictability of such moral panics makes them more intimidating. Nixon in China is an acclaimed opera that has been produced repeatedly since its first performance in 1987. From the beginning, white singers have usually been cast in the Chinese roles without controversy. Then, in June 2021, an advocacy organization calling itself British East & South Asians in Theatre and on Screen (BEATS) denounced the practice as “yellowface,” the supposed moral equivalent of blackface. The Scottish Opera withdrew its production of Nixon in China from an award competition, apologized for causing “offence,” and asked for “space” to learn from its errors. Do not expect any protests against “whiteface,” however. As a BEATS spokesman explains: “Casting a black singer as a white historical personage can be progressive . . . [but] . . . casting a white actor in a specifically non-white role is regressive.”

Since the 19th century, ballet dancers have applied white body paint in certain works, especially those featuring a supernatural element. In 2018, the Staatsballett Berlin staged Swan Lake, in which white body paint has traditionally been used to increase the illusion that the dancers are swans. The company’s sole black dancer, Chloé Lopes Gomes, lamented, “I’ll never look white.” The ballet mistress responded, “Well, you will have to put on more than the other girls.” This trivial incident went unrecorded for two years until Gomes became one of 12 dancers not to have their contract renewed. Suddenly the imagined slight became useful to her and was soon featured on the front page of the New York Times arts section. The Staatsballett Berlin issued a groveling apology. As the author notes, the scandal could not have been prevented, even if the ballet mistress had instead told Gomes, “Don’t bother with the body paint. You’re too black. It will never work.” Racism accusations are unfalsifiable, governed by the principle of “heads I win, tails you lose.”

The Art Institute of Chicago has sponsored a volunteer docent program since 1961. The volunteer basis of the program has never served as an excuse for lax standards. Prospective docents attend curatorial lectures, read widely in the museum’s library, and write papers proposing ways to communicate art historical concepts to children and other visitors. The 18-month training program is run with “military” discipline, according to one trainee, and gives docents a body of knowledge virtually equivalent to a Master of Fine Arts degree. Even after graduating, docents follow up with ongoing study of art history and pedagogy.

In September 2021, the Art Institute shut down this program because too many of the docents were white. More than 80 unpaid docents were replaced with six salaried, part-time employees chosen on the basis of their anti-racist credentials. Obviously, they will be unable to offer nearly as many tours or presentations, and the chances that they will be as passionate about art as the white volunteers are nil. Following the docent sacking, letter writers to the Chicago Tribune speculated that if the Art Institute can do without volunteers, it must not need financial support either.

Law and justice

As with medical schools, the application of disparate impact theory to the criminal justice system will cost lives, but that gives anti-racist zealots no pause. Every disparity in arrest or incarceration rates must now be attributed to racism, and criminal penalties and enforcement are being softened to eliminate disparities.

The case of New York City is especially unfortunate since the changes followed a historic drop in crime attributable to the aggressive prosecution of minor offences under mayors Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg. Even the execrable Bill de Blasio kept his predecessors’ successful policies for a time, even as the city council and state legislature were starting to lighten criminal penalties and eliminate bail for all misdemeanors and some felonies. District attorneys began refusing to prosecute certain offences such as subway turnstile jumping.

Then came the George Floyd riots, which saw mobs of New Yorkers smashing storefronts, looting, burning police cars, and attacking officers with bricks and metal pipes. Police worked back-to-back shifts without time to sleep, and nearly 400 were injured. Mr. De Blasio called the riots “justified” and urged police to use a “light touch” since people were “angry for a reason.” Eventually he imposed a curfew, but DA Cyrus Vance refused to prosecute violations.

On June 15, New York’s Police Commissioner announced he was dismantling the undercover units charged with getting armed felons off the streets, since the officers were involved in a disproportionate number of shootings. This was obviously due to the nature of their work. As Miss Mac Donald says, “[C]onfronting armed, violent, and resisting suspects was virtually their job description.” Despite this, only 3 percent of these officers had discharged their weapons at suspects in 2019, a figure that suggests considerable restraint. After the units were disbanded, shootings in the following weeks jumped 205 percent over the same period the year before, while gunshot injuries climbed 238 percent. The author notes, “[S]uspects knew their chances of getting stopped with a gun had dropped enormously.”

The police cannot win: When they let up on enforcement for fear of being branded racist, they are accused of racist indifference to the crime increases that inevitably follow. A number of prominent New York politicians are on record making both types of accusations.

The author describes media double standards regarding crime. The most obvious is that race goes unreported whenever suspects are black, but is always considered relevant in the case of white suspects. But bias goes much further than that. The author highlights two cases in which we can see how expectations for parental responsibility vary by race.

In March 2021, a 13-year-old Latino boy named Adam Toledo was shot while roaming the streets of Chicago with a fellow gang member at 2:30 a.m. He had a handgun at the time. Shortly afterwards, in an unrelated incident, a seven-year-old black girl named Jaslyn Adams was gunned down by her heroin-dealing father’s gang rivals as the two were parked at a McDonald’s drive-through. The following day, Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot made a visit to McDonald’s headquarters. Afterwards, CEO Chris Kempczinski sent Lightfoot a text message, saying:

p.s. tragic shootings in last week, both at our restaurant yesterday and with Adam Toldeo [sic]. With both, the parents failed those kids which I know is something you can’t say. Even harder to fix.

Mr. Kempczinski found out the hard way that attributing irresponsibility to non-white parents is indeed “something you can’t say.” A coalition of activist groups got hold of his message several months later and published an open letter to him, declaring: “Your text message was ignorant, racist and unacceptable.” Both McDonald’s employees and racial advocates protested outside the company’s headquarters, calling for his resignation and demanding “reparations.”

Jaslyn Adams’s mother emerged to say, “How dare you judge me! . . . You come from privilege. You can’t speak about me.”

Even Mayor Lightfoot’s office issued a statement: “Victim shaming has no place in this conversation.” (As the author explains, “‘Victim shaming’ is a euphemism for ascribing moral agency to a favored victim class.”)

In response, the CEO accused himself of racial insensitivity and held “listening sessions” with franchise owners and employees. Here are a few samples from his various apologies:

Not taking the time to think about this from their viewpoint was wrong, and lacked the empathy and compassion I feel for these families. This is a lesson I will carry with me. […] My texts to the Mayor of Chicago were wrong — plain and simple. I am truly sorry and I know I have let you down. I also know this has conflicted with our values.

The author suggests that Mr. Kempczinski had gotten it right the first time. If 13-year-old Adam Toledo had been at home in bed at 2:30 a.m., he would be alive. Did his (single) mother know where he was, or that he had a gun? We do not know, for the questions cannot be asked. Jaslyn Adams’s drug-dealing father certainly knew his enemies were looking for him when he took his daughter to McDonald’s. Just the day before the shooting he had tweeted: “Opps probably downstairs waiting for me.”

This lack of interest in holding non-white parents responsible contrasts sharply with what happened in the case of Ethan Crumbley, a 15-year-old white boy who allegedly killed four fellow students at his Michigan high school in November 2021. Three days after the shooting, a district attorney filed involuntary manslaughter charges against the boy’s parents for having allowed him to access a legally purchased handgun, reasoning that they should have known the boy was primed to kill his classmates. The author notes:

[T]the Crumbleys’ very presence in their son’s life and their responsiveness to the authorities made them available as a target of criminal liability. On the day of the shooting, a teacher noticed a drawing Ethan had made of a handgun pointing at the words “the thoughts won’t stop help me.” The Crumbleys had recently bought Ethan a pistol for Christmas. Following interception of the note, school officials summoned Ethan’s parents to school. They promptly showed up but declined to take Ethan home because they both worked and didn’t want to send him to an empty house. Had Ethan’s parents been from the inner city and not shown up at all, no media figure would have objected.

In fact, says Miss Mac Donald, “The press, Democratic politicians, and gun-control advocates greeted the homicide charges against the Crumbley parents with ecstatic approbation.”

Many in the media deny outright that blacks are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime. Yet the author notes their habit of treating any concern a white politician expresses over crime as a “racist dog whistle.” According to a Washington Post columnist, President Donald Trump’s defense of police and condemnation of looting and violence after the Kenosha riots of August 2020 were “undisguised white supremacy.”

Conclusion

Some of the incidents Heather Mac Donald describes, especially within the arts academy, are the kind that might have occurred a generation ago. However, certain novelties suggest that America’s racial revolution has entered a new phase. One such novelty already referred to is the growing impermissibility of mentioning racial gaps in skills and behavior, even when attributing them to “cultural” factors. Another is preemptive self-accusation: In the wake of the George Floyd riots, observers who thought they had lost the capacity to be surprised at America’s racial madness were bewildered to see eminent people and institutions rushing forward to confess their “racism” like the victims of Stalinist show trials. Miss Mac Donald has a noteworthy take on this:

The self-abasement common in the post-George Floyd era is actually a form of self-aggrandizement. Individuals and institutions blame themselves for inequalities for which they have no responsibility in order to claim a current impact they do not possess. [Thus they] position themselves as essential to the anti-racism crusade.

Under a regime of anti-racism, cultural authority can come from only two sources: “the assertion of victimhood or the acknowledgement of oneself as a victimizer.” Whites cannot adopt the first strategy, so “that leaves the vigorous assertion of racial guilt as the second-best means of retaining social capital.”

Frustrated by the failure of white and Asian men to fight back against the diversity juggernaut, the author asked one research scientist, “How much longer would they continue to allow their hard work and accomplishments to be disparaged and sidelined?” His reply:

We need our jobs. Our peers will turn on us. Speak out, lose job forever, be quickly forgotten and abandoned. I admire the bravery of those who speak out but they will be systematically exterminated until they are all gone. The system will have to rot from within and be reinvented, which will take 50-100 years.

Miss Mac Donald suggests a membership organization might be able to mitigate such fears.

[An organization] dedicated to the unapologetic defense of color-blind standards of achievement and behavior would relentlessly provide the data that explain the lack of racial proportionality in meritocratic institutions and the criminal justice system. If one of its members were punished for opposing the latest application of disparate impact analysis, the organization would come to his defense. Ideally, there would be enough strength in numbers to avoid its members being cancelled.

No civilization can long survive without standards, so the current dispensation certainly cannot last. But no one can predict whether it will be followed by a return to color blindness or an evolution toward racial separation.

    Dumbing things down does blacks no favors.

    Here’s an excerpt from the documentary Hitsville (about the history of Motown), starting at the 28:00 minute mark:

    Narration by Brian and Eddie Holland (of the legendary songwriting trio of Holland-Dozier-Holland):

    “Paul Riser, when he came (to work at Motown Records), . . doing arrangements, he was only 18 years old! He was one of the greatest arrangers ever, . . just out of high school!”

    Narration by Paul Riser (arranger and trombonist):

    “I was classically trained, and enjoyed nothing but classical, I thought R&B (rythym and blues) music was just worse, okay.

    Narration by Prof. Suzanne E. Smith (author of Dancing in the Street: Motown and the Cultural Politics of Detroit)

    “You also had (in the 1950s) in Detroit a big investment in public education. They had an incredible public music program in these high schools and Motown artists came from these communities.”

    Narration by Brian and Eddie Holland:

    “Back when I was in school, the Ford Motor Company would give the class tickets to go to see the Detroit Symphony. I saw them (i.e., the orchestra) playing violins, French horns, . . . and oboes, bassoons, . . . and I thought that was the greatest sound ever. So that’s what got me going.”

    There not so much dumb as gullible and guilt ridden. Most have had little contact with negroes so hold a romantic view of them as the noble underdog in American society constantly being assailed by poor and working class white racists. If they have had negative interactions with negroes they just dismiss it as “bad” blacks just like there are “bad” whites and ignore the possible black race hatred.

    They are unworldly on racial matters and don’t know that the vast majority of blacks are socialized early in their lives into an anti-white worldview. This fact coupled with the lower IQs of blacks and their other biologically rooted foibles makes coexistence with them impossible.

    This could well be false choice. There is another possibility, which is that this will be the new normal. Graham Greene wrote that men’s lives have turning point; a point of no return. I believe this also applies to societies, and that the turning point has occurred. The so-called “biological imperative” will now drive this: Humans are wired to do that which maximizes their territory; their quality-of-life-seeking; their reproductive prospects.

    The media is running with the name now because they need someone to crucify for Operation Saint George Floyd 2.0 and the Marines, like Pontius Pilate, have washed their hands of Penny [Did the Marine Corps just dox the Marine who put the violent homeless man in a chokehold?, NotTheBee.com, May 6, 2023]

    White men, do not join any branch of the U.S. military. Daniel Penny is a hero, but the U.S. Marine Corps doxxed him to the media, and for daring to make the New York City subway system safe for law abiding people—by confronting a black male who had been arrested more than 40 times (including for attempted kidnapping)—he has now been arrested in a city with a black mayor and black district attorney.

  9. I actually never watched the George Floyd Video. After several decades worth of phony “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” lying media narrative creation I knew it would only be more BS. So I never watched it. I must say it provided me with an interestingly objective platform to watch the normie world go crazy from.

  10. Handel, as Miss Mac Donald explains, briefly held stock in a slave-trading company after receiving it in payment for a commission.

    What a delightful analogue to the case of Samuel Adams, whereby he was actually a slave owner for a day or so, because he’d received one as a gift. He’s been permitted to skate, though.

    Probably because (surely due in part to the lack of classical education today) far more people appreciate a case of Sam Adams than even know what a Handel oratorio is.

But how many Palestinians get to go to Israel Universities in order to become doctors, lawyers, engineers much less get invited to Universities in the USA ?

    You may want to watch it because it explains a lot about the hysteria and later foundation shaking changes that stemmed from it.

    It was the look on Chauvin’s face. As Floyd screamed and cried, Chauvin ignored him completely and had this dead eyed, brutal 1000 yard stare. A large group of people, not all black and not all hysterical, were shouting and pleading for Chauvin to release the pressure on Floyd’s neck.

    Floyd said he could not breathe. Chauvin did not have the right to deny a suspect medical care. He should have let him up and get medical attention. He was still going to jail and probably would have still died. This is not “siding” with Floyd- it’s the basic humane, professional standards of care- the kind of place we want to live in. Most cops are pond scum, human vermin- and it could have been us under Chauvin’s knee. Floyd’s race is and was irrelevant.

    When I say liberalism is a mental disorder many people laugh because they think I’m joking; I’m not. There’s something in the psyche of a White liberal that I just don’t understand, I think a lot of it comes down to what I call the “feel good narrative”. Humans naturally want to feel good, who doesn’t, but there’s other virtues that trump “feeling good” such as duty, honor, truth, loyalty, etc. A doctor does not wish to tell his patient that they have terminal cancer, yet it’s the truth, and the person has a right to know their fate; this doctor is upholding his duty to tell his patient the truth.

    Liberals are missing the “duty, honor, truth, etc.” part of the equation, they simply focus on the “feel good” narrative no matter how absurd it becomes. It doesn’t give me any joy pointing out the absolute failure that blacks are in our society and realizing there’s some real differences between the races, but it’s truth and I need to acknowledge it; liberals cannot.

    The real difference between “woke” and “red pilling” comes down to acceptance of the truth, no matter whether it’s what you want to believe or not. To be “woke” is to believe a fantasy version of the world that fits how you want to see it. To be “red pilled” is to see the world as it is, and to accept the truth even if it’s difficult to do.

    I’d imagine this might be true of whites who are raised in affluent suburbs. But even suburban living, much of it, is no longer free of the black/hispanic curse. Nor are many of the schools that service suburban whites without black students in significant numbers. Still, a small percentage of whites are raised, schooled and then find employment in low black environments. What percentage of whites live such blessedly ignorant lives? I can’t imagine it would exceed 5% of the white population.

    Which is to say that something else is going on with the huge percentage of whites who either will not or cannot see blacks for what they are. There are only two explanations for the blindness. One is an unwillingness to be out of step, out of fashion. The other is unadorned fear that the wrong word, the wrong attitude can mean the sudden loss of employment…the loss of everything.

    I’m not sure if that’s the case — but the problem you describe (‘not the behaviors of a dominant race’) does exist in a not insignificant fraction of Whites (as was made clear latest during the BLM ‘protests’) — however while not often recognized as such, this is also a question of nature vs nurture — clearly in the not too distant past, Whites were a ‘dominant race’ in the sense I believe you have in mind — so there are good reasons to believe these behaviors, which one can charitably describe as exhibiting low in-group preference, and uncharitably as being racially (tribally) suicidal in an evolutionary context, are a matter of nurture, rather than nature, and can therefore be seen as largely remediable — the obvious susceptibility of Whites to this is another issue.

    William Luther Pierce spoke often and forcefully about the pernicious influence of the controlled mass media, e.g. the impact of incessant anti-racism propaganda on the psychological well-being of Whites — you can catch many of those talks on the 24/7 stream of the National Alliance — or listen to specific episodes here.

He kept his knee next to Floyd’s neck because that’s how you apply pressure to a control point. You let off when the suspect is compliant, but you don’t let him go because he will likely act up again.

    If you watched the video, you would have seen what Floyd did when not being forcibly restrained. He was a big, strong man, who managed to writhe his way out of the back of a police car while cuffed. No way the cops were going to let him up.

    P.S. In The Fame of a Dead Man’s Deeds Dr. Pierce was quoted as saying that if he had known that the originally serialized The Turner Diaries was going to be such an “underground” success, he would have put more time and care into it!

    BLACKS DRIVE LIKE NUTS WHEN COPS ARE TOLD TO IGNORE BLACK DRIVER DEMOLITION DERBY

    Blacks, proportionally, commit more violent crime than do Asians or Whites because Blacks are genetically predisposed to do so.

    Brave political leaders must point this out to state clearly that Blacks are imprisoned more than Whites and Asians because they commit more violent crime than do Whites and Asians, proportionally.

    Blacks and Mestizos are innately less intelligent than Whites and Asians.

    Blacks do poorly in school and on school tests because they are highly cognitively dissimilar to Whites and Asians.

    Brave political leaders must state this to knock down the argument that external factors inhibit Blacks from doing as well as Whites and Asians in school.

    As a lawyer, I know how powerful optics are.

    I am stating that the video, no matter the technical accuracy of Chauvin’s restraint, wiped out any hope of Chauvin being found Not Guilty- and that is without the national media whipping people into a hysteria.

    It was the video that sunk him from the jump.

    @Johnny LeBlanc

    Of course he was a useless POS.

    Again, the video sunk Chauvin. He was not alone in a cave with Floyd. He did not work in a vacuum.

    When you have a group of people- RECORDING YOU – begging you to let him up- at some point common sense would take over and you would let him up. I feel sorry for Chauvin to a degree, but Floyd was not being detained over a violent crime. It was a counterfeit bill. Let him up, get him checked by medical, then take him to jail. If Chauvin would have followed these rudimentary steps, he could be home eating supper instead of getting beaten and raped in prison.

    You have to realize – I am around criminals most days. I know they are histronic and deceitful. But I have no desire to go to prison for any criminal. If my client tells me he is having a heart attack in the attorney room at prison, and I want to get going to get home- I still go get help. This is not rocket science.

    And- I don’t defend cops- ever. Not in life or in theory. I have witnessed too many of them lying on the stand. I detest them. They are all company men that would shoot us in the head if it added $50 to their paycheck/pension.

    I don’t think everyone is tired when you have a culture where fathers and brothers allow their daughters and sisters to date and fuck negroes with a half breed being spawned out of the unholy union sometimes. Go out in any city where negroes are a noticeable minority and you’ll see them with white women. It’s a growing trend, you see it every where. I saw a 4K drive through video of Naples Florida and saw a few of them. Just what the hell is going on with white men these days? A return to honour killings is what’s needed.

  71. @TKK

    I say defund the cops and let the niggers run wild. Or the cops that are still on the job should just step back. We need to shock Whites into the necessary frame of mind. Maybe being raped and having their houses burned down by feral orcs will encourage the needed change in attitude.

    Let him up, get him checked by medical

    “Letting him up” would violate police protocol, and open the cops to liability for any injuries that followed.. Remember that this person was violently resisting arrest. It’s easy for us to say that Chauvin should have released his knee, and I wish he had. But his knee on the back of Floyd’s neck did not cause asphyxiation. A lethal fentanyl cocktail did that. (How was Chauvin supposed to know what drugs Floyd had taken?)

    Getting checked by medical? What do you think they were waiting for? Do you really not know that medics were on the way? If they hadn’t gotten turned around, they would have arrived several minutes earlier and we’d never even have heard of George Floyd.

    But I agree with you that optics rule the day, and the optics in this case were horrific. A billion people now swear they saw something that they didn’t actually see. Now can you agree with me that if Chauvin had any idea the guy under his knee was dying, he would have relented? To save his own neck if not Floyd’s.

    Well, I think American men have become “overpaid, oversexed, and over here” the world over, leading to extra unmarried American women. Hence the need for polygamy.

    Brigham Young believed the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ was insufficient for some extreme sins, such as interracial relations with the seed of Cain (blacks). Other interracial relations were discouraged but not considered sinful, necessarily. For such grave crimes as interracial relations with the seed of Cain, the offender would in theory need to die in such a way that their own blood was spilled, according to the proposed but never quite implemented doctrine of blood atonement (it was proposed this might one day be the law under a Mormon theocratic government):

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_atonement

    “…Cain I will not kill you, nor suffer any one to kill you, but I will put a mark upon you. What is that mark? you will see it on the countenance of every African you ever did see upon the face of the earth, or ever will see…

    “…You talke of the dark skin, I never saw a white man on earth. I have seen persons whose hair came pretty nigh being white, but to talk about white skins it is something entirely unknown, though some skins are fairer than others; look at the black eye and the jet black hair, we often see upon men and women who are called white, there is no such things as white folkes. We are the children of Adam, who receive the blessings, and that is enough for us if we are not quite white.

    But let me tell you further. Let my seed mingle with the seed of Cain [blacks], that brings the curse upon me, and upon my generations, — we will reap the same rewards with Cain.

    In the priesthood I will tell you what it will do. Where the children of God to mingle there seed with the seed of Cain it would not only bring the curse of being deprived of the power of the priesthood upon themselves but they entail it upon their children after them, and they cannot get rid of it. If a man in an unguarded moment should commit such a transgression, if he would walk up and say cut off my head, and kill man woman and child it would do a great deal towards atoning for the sin. Would this be to curse them? no it would be a blessing to them.”

    – Governor Brigham Young of Utah

    la familia mexica and all mexican drug cartels are now white supremacists. the new narcos act designates cartels as terrorist groups, so now all gang violence will be considered acts of white supremacist terrorism. so i guess we won’t have to worry about the mexican problem, it’s those damn white supremacists they keep warning us about!

  78. I remember a claim in the 90s still being made is that “white kids use drugs at a higher rate than black kids yet black kids are the ones getting arrested for it.” Where did they get this from? I very much doubt it’s true based on my life experience. Virtually ALL black men smoke weed, it’s really really common, where I work I find out all but one are potheads, and the one who is not has a pot head brother. I go out on lunch break and see one sitting in his 20 year old SUV holding something small up to his lips glowing orange and blowing out smoke. While there are too many white idiots involved in drugs it’s not this ubiquitous.

    Back in the 90s at one of the top Big 10 Universities I found weed was not that common among the white students, and those who did were mostly males, it was a sausage fest that the girls there looking to snag a successful husband avoided like the plague because they saw it for what it was back then…before Generation Bastard embraced the “dispensary” lifestyle. However, among the black “students” (there on affirmative action) I found that MOST of them smoked weed, male and female. And these were the cream of the crop of the Chicago and East Metro ghettos, if weed use was this ubiquitous among the blacks who managed to make it through high school, then it must be even more common among the run of the mill loser who stayed in the hood.

    But white liberals would have you believe the vast majority of blacks growing up in these fatherless homes with little parental supervision are not all hanging out smoking weed constantly? Especially now with how much more widespread availability it has? I’m not overstating it when I say that ALL of these hoodrats who go “wilding” around downtown Chicago reeking havoc are stoned, and ALL of these Antifa rats rioting on the West Coast are heavy pot users. Drugs are a heavy culprit in the downfall of our civility, drug use retards the normal progression of whites from the college fantasy world of liberals into a more conservative reality when they get out into the real world in their mid to late twenties. It also makes blacks much, much worse. And I’m not talking about the horrid fentanyl, meth, and crack. Weed alone makes people very disturbed and antisocial. Letting this crap in your society turns your citizenry into garbage. No doubt someone will conquer North America in another couple generations, this scummy so called “citizenry” won’t be able to maintain the defense apparatus they inherited from previous, dead, responsible generations who actually built it.

    ——————————————————————

    You have been media- brainwashed about the george floyd incident. Chauvin put floyd on the ground NOT because floyd was a criminal but because floyd had been repeatedly saying “I can’t breathe.”, and when he got to the point where he truly could not breathe he would go berzerk and harm himself or others. Asphyxiation is a horrible death.

    Many PDs had that policy. When a suspect says he can’t breathe it usually means he’s dying of a drug overdose and mayhem will soon follow. Get him on ground and keep him there.

    >Cosmotheism

    Not knowing enough about it, I have no opinion about Cosmotheism, per se — but it’s important to understand Pierce’s motivation for promulgating Cosmotheism.

    Like Oliver, Pierce was not a fan of Christianity — any White Nationalist ought to be able to concede that in the modern world, Christian tenets are not compatible with the survival of white nations — but Pierce was (rightfully) concerned about the decline in religiousness among Whites, and the vacuum in society created by it — this vacuum was being filled by the media, which espoused a kind of secular moral absolutism, with anti-racism and white guilt as central parts — today one sees this clearly, including how the secular moral canon established and enforced by the media (heretics are punished via ‘cancel culture’) is constantly expanding to include the ‘latest thing’ — all of that has been very destructive to white society, and very damaging to the interests of white people.

    Pierce was a learned, intelligent man — also prescient: he predicted and warned about everything happening today — if Pierce was still alive, he would certainly be entitled to say ‘I told you so’.

  82. @Hang All Text Drivers

    One of the best articles debunking the Official Narrative of Saint George Floyd was published here at Unz Review back in June 2020. No statement of fact in the article has ever been successfully controverted. Here follows a representative sample.

    • Floyd’s blood tests showed a concentration of fentanyl of about three times the fatal dose.
    • Fentanyl is a dangerous opioid 50 times more potent than heroin. It has rapidly become the most common cause of death among drug addicts.
    • The knee hold used by the police is not a choke hold, it does not impede breathing. It is a body restraint and is not known to have ever caused fatal injury.
    • Floyd already began to complain “I can’t breathe” a few minutes before the neck restraint was applied, while resisting the officers when they tried to get him into the squad car. Fentanyl affects the breathing, causing death by respiratory arrest.
    • It was normal procedure to restrain Floyd because he was resisting arrest, probably in conjunction with excited delirium (EXD), an episode of violent agitation brought on by a drug overdose, typically brief and ending in death from cardiopulmonary arrest.
    • The official autopsy did indeed give cardiopulmonary arrest as the cause of death, and stated that injuries he sustained during the arrest were not life-threatening.
    • Videos of the arrest do not show police beating or striking Floyd, only calmly restraining him
    • In one video Floyd is heard shouting and groaning loudly and incoherently while restrained on the ground, which appears to be a sign of the violent, shouting phase of EXD. His ability to resist four officers trying to get him into the squad car is typical of EXD cases. A short spurt of superhuman strength is a classic EXD symptom.

    The evidence that the Floyd narrative imposed by the (((Establishment))) is a total lie is so compelling that Ron Unz should permanently ban any commenter that treats it as legitimate. The (((Establishment))) is waging war against white men and women, and those who accept and proclaim the Floyd narrative are complicit in its long-term goals of killing whites and rendering the very idea of objective truth literally unthinkable.
