Race and the Human Prospect, edited by Samuel Francis

Race and the American Prospect consists of essays by fourteen men who believe that race contributes to a depressing American prospect. In the introduction Samuel Francis writes:

“Today, journalists, disc jockeys, leading sports figures, public officials, distinguished, and major political leaders who violate the racial taboos of our age are fired.”

This is often true. Nevertheless, Charles Murray still gets his books and magazine articles published. Efforts were made to get Professor J. Philippe Rushton fired from the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada N6A 5C2. The efforts failed.

His essay, “Race, Evolution, and Behavior” can still be found on the internet,

Race, Evolution, and Behavior:

although efforts have been made by his university to remove it.

In his essay “Racial Differences in Intelligence, Personality, and Behavior,” Richad Lynn points out that Orientals have average IQs of 105, whites have averages of 97, and sub-Saharan Africans have averages of 70.

He goes on to write, “The low IQ of sub-Saharan Africans is consistent with their failure to make any advances in civilization.”

Nevertheless, the Nubians and the Ethiopians developed systems of writing, and built cities.

In his essay, “The Racial Revolution Race and Racial consciousness in American History” Jared Taylor points out that the reluctance to criticize Negroes is comparatively recent in American history.

Taylor draws attention to Thomas Jeferson’s writings on the Jefferson Memorial, “Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that [the Negroes] shall be free.” while also drawing attention to what Jefferson wrote immediately afterward, “nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live under the same government.”

Taylor writes that “in a message to Congress President Lincoln argued for the forcible removal of free blacks.”

He adds that President Theodore Roosevelt claimed that blacks were “a perfectly stupid race.”

One can argue that blacks have proved that these beliefs are incorrect. Nevertheless, where is there evidence that most blacks are as intelligent, and have the same low rates of crime and illegitimacy as most whites?

In his essay “Immigration and Race the Making and Unmaking of America” Wayne Lutton points out that in the past there was opposition to immigration from sources other than north eastern Europe.

On the one hand all population growth, whether from a high birth rate, a high immigration rate, or both, has economic and environmental costs. Nevertheless, I think we should distinguish between demographics characterized by high intelligence and low rates of crime and illegitimacy, and demographics characterized by low intelligence, and high rates of crime and illegitimacy.

In his essay, “Race and the South,” Sam G. Dickson points out that slavery benefited those rich enough to buy slaves, and harmed those who could not afford slaves. He does not explain why the Confederacy was popular among poor whites in the South.

In his essay “Jews, Blacks, and Race, Kevin MacDonald claims:

“at a fundamental level the entire Jewish political spectrum, from left/liberal to neoconservative right continues to view the political cultural hegemony with hostility and suspicion.”

Jews have reason to view Kevin MacDonald that way. He is the Jew hater’s favorite academic.

Professor MacDonald’s only source for that assertion is one quote by Seymour Martin Lipset.

The United States has been more protective of Israel than any other country. Jews have been more successful in the United States than in any other country. I am confident that most Jews love the United States as much as I do.

In his essay, “Why the American Ruling Class Betrays Its Race and Civilization,” Samuel Francis tries to explain why powerful whites usually favor affirmative action and suppress the discussion of black social pathology. He borrows from James Burnham’s theory that managers have supplanted the owners of American corporations. He argues that managers care more than owners about diversity.

This is only true when there is no diversity of merit. Consider two companies of the same size. Hiring managers who can hire men and women, and diverse races, national origins, religions and sexual orientations have an advantage over hiring managers who only hire white, Christian, heterosexual males. This is because they can select from a larger pool of applicants.

Nevertheless, companies do not benefit from lowering standards for Negroes.

I suspect that most of the people who rise to senior management positions have spent their lives in safe neighborhoods: which is to say, non black majority, environments. They have known few blacks. Those few were exceptional, or they occupied subordinate positions without resentment. It is easy for them to imagine that most blacks are like the few they know and like or would be if they had better opportunities.

I was raised in that environment myself. I used to feel that way about blacks. Since then, I have experienced downward social mobility. I have also been mugged by blacks, robbed at gunpoint by blacks, and nearly murdered by blacks. Those experiences make me receptive to most of the messages presented by the contributors to Race and the American Prospect.

 

Race is a hypothetical construct it doesnt exist and cant be defined. There is only 1 race. When we say race we mean culture which corelated significantly to intelligence and behavior.

 

In his essay "The Inequality Taboo" Charles Murray mentions an interesting experiment in which 3,636 subjects were asked to identify their race and to donate a tissue sample for DNA analysis. Those doing the analysis did not know which race the people donating the tissue samples said they belong to, but they agreed 99.9% of the time.

Once Murray proved that race is an essential human classification, it becomes important to see how the different races differ in average characteristics important to civilization. In his essay "Race, Evolution, and Behavior" Professor J. Philippe Rushton proved that Orientals tend to be more intelligent and to have lower rates of crime and illegitimacy than whites. Whites, in turn tend to be much more intelligent than Negroes. We have much lower rates of crime and illegitimacy than Negroes.

Race, Evolution, and Behavior:

In his book review of Professor Stephen J. Gould's book The Mismeasure of Man Rushton gives more data of average racial IQ scores: "The average IQ for African-Americans was found to be lower than those for Latino-, White-, Asian-, and Jewish-Americans (85, 89, 103, 106, and 115, respectively,"

After the revelations of the Holocaust many people wanted to believe that racial differences did not matter, or that they did not even exist. It is ironic that the Nazi effort to exterminate the most superior race in existence lead to the dogma that there are no inferior races.

 

DNA archeology proves every human is descended form the same tribe of African Sans Bushman. That means we are all a combination of the same DNA.
To define race all you have to do tell us what is the race of child with a black father white mother, Asian grand mother and Inuk grandfather. Ill wait for the answer.
Race is hypothetical what you refer to is culture not race. Culture controls behavior and lets assume a culture produces more children from low intelligence women than average to high intelligence women. Their median IQ will decline. Thats not race thats behavior. Changing that behavior will change the results. Therefore of trace was the issue IQ could not be changed.

• One source mentions Libya, Mauritius, Tunisia, Sudan, and Seychelles as African nations with relatively high average IQ scores based on a specific report. Instagram
• Another source provides a top 10 list of African countries with high average IQ in 2024, with Libya leading the list. Business News Nigeria
• African Americans have an IQ average of 85 compared to the universal average of 100

 

Such a child would be mixed race. The mixture would be determined by DNA analysis.

 

Genes determine race, which determines culture. Groups of Negroes differ from groups of whites. If you disagree, take a walk through a white neighborhood after dark. I will not advise you to walk through a black neighborhood after dark, because you will risk your life. The Political Forum needs your input and will miss your absence.

 

Then how can the same race have different cultures. If genes determine culture all blacks will have the same culture. They dont

 

Race does not determine culture. In fact, you'd be safer walking through a black neighborhood at night than you would walking into a Hells Angel's bar with the wrong vest on.
Whites and Blacks in America share 99.9% of the same culture.

 

You contradicted yourself. If we are the same culture why cant I walk in their neighborhood. AA culture is very different from Irish Italian Jewish etc. The biggest differences are single mothers no father and crime rates

 

AA's were stripped of their culture. Which is why 99.9% of their culture is the same as Whites. Furthermore, crimes are a part of our American culture. Which started way before AA's even had freedom in this country. The Irish Italian and Jewish gangs pre-date AA gangs in America. AA's just integrated those cultures into their own.

 

Your excuses are laughable. AA who are 13% of the population create 53% of all murder and violent crime. Thats 10 times more than any other group. They also have 73% single mothers which is the main cause of poverty and crime. If want to blame a cause for that its the democrat welfare state that destroyed the family.
Jews Irish Italians and Asians kept their families intact. The foundation of cultically stability is a two parent family

 

I never mentioned murder rates or single mothers, so how am I making excuses? You're just gaslighting . Hell, I actually agreed with you.

 

Your position is extremely weak, you should try another angle.

Perhaps race is not your best starting position, since the race you push is by default, the runt, or rather, the stewing steak, not exactly fillet you feel me?

Just a heads up, idont want to see you on a spit roast, besides, human flesh is not exactly Michelin standard.

 

Race was created by one culture to have power over others. Its also the excuse to play the victim. So you can prove race can be defined by simply stating the race of a child with a black father white mother Inuk grandfay0-ther and Chinese grand mother. Whats the childs race? Put up or shut up

 

The Democrat welfare state has had different effects on different races and ethnicities. Negroes have always had higher rates of illegitimacy than other races and ethnicities. They have always had lower average IQ's, and higher crime rates. That is not because of anything whites do to them or have done to them in the past. It is because evolving in the African jungle did not prepare most Negroes for characteristics civilization needs in order to thrive.

There is a folk saying that has much wisdom in it: you can take a Negro from the jungle, but you cannot take the jungle from a Negro.

This is not true of all Negroes, of course. Some are highly civilized. Unfortunately, they are exceptional. We should treat them with respect because when they were growing up, they were probably bullied for acting white.

 

False before the welfare state blacks had the same rate of two parent families and crime was lower. They were making great strides in America until the Great Society stopped them dead in their tracks. That was always the intent. Create dependent class easily controlled by democrats

 

Blacks have always had higher rates of crime and illegitimacy than whites. They have higher rates everywhere in the world that they live. Nevertheless, I agree that the welfare system and reforms that make punishment less likely and less severe have made the situation worse.
