John McWhorter wrote a column on this subject and got all his examples backwards, except for ‘hunch’.

We shouldn’t assume that murders are bad:

“According to [Baltimore] police, the numbers reveal people with a criminal history are killing people with a criminal history. …

According to the Baltimore Police Department Analysis of Crime Victims, 81.9% of victims had prior criminal records, 67% had previous drug arrests, 44% were arrested for gun crimes and 16.1% were also victims of prior nonfatal shootings.” (Jan 2020)

“Nêhiyaw-Michif (Cree-Métis) baritone Jonathon Adams” is white.

“Métis and French-Canadian composer Ian Cusson” is white.

“Stó:lō scholar and artist Dylan Robinson” is white.

I saw a video of a pit/bulldog knocking down a woman and yanking her around by one leg; a guy calmly walked up behind the dog and strangled it in the crook of his elbow, the dog passed out flat after about 5 seconds, the woman ran off, the guy left and the dog got up and ran off after lying on the ground for maybe 10 seconds. I got the impression it was in Mexico or S. America.

I carry a heavy cane with a spike, a stun-gun and a knife with a 7″ blade when I walk our dog.

More than 1,700 congressmen enslaved people

False; the slaves were enslaved by black Africans and Arabs.

“Asian-American communities are among the most impoverished in New York,” Niou said.

Their income in NY is higher than average and higher than every group except whites. (scroll down about 1/5th).

Any number greater than zero is “racist”.

Rreminds me of this old joke:

A man asks a woman if she would have sex with him for a Million dollars.

The woman says “yes!”

The man then asks “Would you have sex with me for one dollar?”

“NO! what do you think I am?!” she replies

Author of the Only Real Letter Published in Slate’s Woke Advice Column Comes Clean

I ran across an article in which the New Zealand education minister (or some such) claimed that White students in New Zealand were the world’s 2nd-highest scoring group on the PISA tests, but which didn’t provide their actual scores or any references (of course).

So I eventually googled up “Ethnicity[sic], gender, socioeconomic status and
educational achievement: An exploration”.

White NZ tudents scored about 550-560, so the “2nd highest” claim is plausible, and Maori students averaged about 100 points (=1 standard deviation lower.

Fun fact: In NZ, Whites/Europeans are amusingly called “Pakeha”.

Tolerance of Cannabis Grows – as We Are Shown It Can Cause Psychosis

The JAMA claims the JAMA is populated by racists, and they are “distressed” by statements to the contrary, so perhaps we shouldn’t take their articles too seriously.

The FDA approved ivermectin for use by humans:

“We have completed the review of this application, including the submitted draft labeling, and have concluded that adequate information has been presented to demonstrate that the drug product is safe and effective for use as recommended in the enclosed draft labeling.”

The FDA claims it becomes a “new drug” if you change the label on the container:

“Marketing the product with FPL that is not identical to this draft labeling may render the product misbranded and an unapproved new drug.”

Poor old dishonest NPR…

Normal people don’t “grapple” with that and don’t care who buys their house; anti-white racists like the guy in the article, and the article’s author, are another matter.

Sharia Is Democratic Will of 99% of Afghans

That’s basically what I said in yesterday’s thread, “Why Did the Taliban Win?”:

“My guess is that it’s because the Taliban is more popular than the anti-Taliban, and that this is just an exercise in perverted democracy.”

Then I understood: the generals’ metrics of success for the Afghan security forces we were assigned to train were only aspirational.

Average Afghan IQ = about 84 = the lowest cut-off point for enlisting in the US military.

Why Did the Taliban Win? Because They Live There

The anti-Taliban also live there, so why didn’t they also win?

My guess is that it’s because the Taliban is more popular than the anti-Taliban, and that this is just an exercise in perverted democracy.

Maybe Japan’s newfound Diversity™ will allow them to move forward into the modern world and allow them to invent and manufacture cameras, electronics and cars.

Check this out: human-chimp genetic difference is only 3X more than human-human difference (does that sounds right?):

“We are on average about 99.5% similar to each other genetically. This is a new figure, down from the previous estimate of 99.9%. To put what may seem like miniscule differences in perspective, we are somewhere around 98.5% similar, maybe more, to chimpanzees, our nearest evolutionary relatives. ”

Letters: Boarding school products are not monsters
By Navajo Times | Jul 1, 2021 | Letters

“As Navajo people, we all have parents, grandparents, and other elders who were subjected to boarding schools and that has contributed to many of the modern-day monsters in our society,” said [Navajo] President Jonathan Nez.
…
I am proud to say I am a product of the BIA-operated boarding schools.

In all my years of being in the boarding school, I was never subjected to, seen nor experienced any harsh and violent action on the part of the boarding school staff. I was never punished for speaking my Dineh language nor told to get rid of my Dineh ceremonies.

During my lifetime I have heard constant criticism and chastising of how terrible BIA-operated boarding schools were. Most of what is being said comes from people who have never set foot nor attended boarding school, but repeating what they were told and heard.
…
My wife, an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Ojibwa of North Dakota, went to and graduated from Flandreau Indian School in South Dakota.

She says, without hesitation, not seeing nor hearing any students being subjected to any harsh treatment and being told to shed their Native traditional and cultural ways. ”

“…need different resources to reach the same place.”

There are many things wrong with that statement, here are some;

1 – People shouldn’t “reach the same place” in the first place – what if everyone was officially an attorney with a law degree (whether earned or bestowed) ? Or if everyone were a cashier or gardener…

2 – Most people can’t actually “reach the same place” as some other people, no matter what anyone does to support one and inhibit the other.

3 – It’s not a proper role of government to ensure that people “reach the same place”.

As if on cue…
Governor Newsom assaulted by crazy black guy

Many pointed out research that shows people with serious mental illness are far more likely to be victims of violent crime — not perpetrators.

Apparently true, but crazy people still commit violent crimes more often than non-crazy people, especially “bizarre, unexplained, and arbitrary acts of violence”.

It reminds me of how an Asian kid won the Navajo Nation spelling bee:

demean marginalized groups

That’s a rather ironic statement by AHA because, as exemplified by the comments posted here by superstitious people, atheists are probably the most “marginalized group” in the US.

Like Thomas Dolby said –

It’s poetry in motion
She turned her tender eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm – but she demeaned me with scientific discourse
“She demeaned me with scientific discourse!”
And failed AHA in biology

They could fix everything by taking the freeways from black neighborhoods which are terrible because of freeways, and moving them to black neighborhoods which are terrible because of no freeways.

Looking at their twitterings, it seems that ACLU now consists of transsexual mulattoes.

I doubt if this is true.

Of course it’s not true. The ACLU lied.

IIRC, it’s a bill to prevent minors from getting mutilated without their parents knowing.

Lileks mentions a lot of anti-citizen barriers going up around gummint buildings in Minneapolis; I wonder if those are somehow connected to the double-jeopardy double-dealings.

“Invasive Species” Is Racist

Howzabout – “guest worker species that prevents other species from rotting on the ground and that will soon return whence they came” ?

and that programs that tried to improve Black educational outcomes, like Head Start, were bound to fail.

They were correct.

But Dr. Flynn noticed something that no one else had:

A guy named “Smith” noticed it in the 1940s when he was studying the possible effects of racial discrimination on the IQs of Chinese children in the US and noticed that the kids scored higher than their parents. And scored higher than white kids.

Dr. Flynn showed in subsequent research, with William T. Dickens, that the Black-white I.Q. gap had diminished significantly between 1972 and 2002

Plenty of other people discovered the opposite.

Nodwink: Genetic inheritance accounts for around 55-60% of intelligence,

That’s for kids. For adults, people > 18 or slightly more, it’s closer to 80%.

Apparently the movie was owned by Canada, not private individuals or companies

“The National Film Board of Canada announced Tuesday that it will withdraw Michelle Latimer’s documentary Inconvenient Indian from “active distribution.”

“The film will be withdrawn from all upcoming festivals, including the 2021 Sundance Film Festival,” the NFB said in a statement.”

FWIW, she doesn’t look like Ethiopians. I wonder what her real background is.

And again, she wasn’t fired. She quit because google wouldn’t meet her “demands”.

“Timnit wrote that if we didn’t meet these demands, she would leave Google and work on an end date. “We accept and respect her decision to resign from Google.”

When google says “About XXX results” returned from a search, they’re providing a fake number.

Click through the returned pages until there are no more, and you get:
“steve sailer” “on the other hand”: About 100,000 results -> Page 12 of about 116 results

So google only returned 116 results that you can actually click on and go to a web-page – NOT 100K; google exaggerated the number of results by about 943 times.

Similarly,
“steve sailer” “by the way”: About 258,000 results -> Page 9 of about 87 results
Exaggerated by > 2,900 times.

fringe theory

Come to think of it, one supporter of that fringe theory is the American Psychological Association.

I am wondering why this tweet is phrased so precisely as to be completely true.

Perhaps they read your post, because two hours later they added a (perhaps) more inflammatory statement (with the same dopey picture):

“For years, at one of California’s most diverse public universities, an economist has been promoting eugenic ideas, arguing that some races are less intelligent than others. Now some faculty and students want him gone.”

Is the first name of The Artist Formerly Known as Prince “The Artist Formerly Known as”, and his last name is “Prince”?

“Anti-racism training hasn’t failed, it just hasn’t been tried hard enough:”

“Anti-racism” will never work because racism isn’t the cause of whatever problems they claim to be solving.

But perhaps job security for anti-racist trainers is the main problem anti-racist trainers want to solve.

“Having been marginalized myself,”

LOL.

Article: “In 1869, he published “Hereditary Genius,” a book arguing that human intelligence and other mental attributes were biologically inherited. “

It’s incredible that a statement like that is controversial, though in this case I get the feeling it’s assumed that the WaPoo readership is aghast at the idea.

Here is Hereditary Genius online. It’s much more informative and interesting than the WaPoo rant.

“There is no reason why liberalism should degenerate into a morbid passion for minorities…” — H.G. Wells

What about legalized marijuana?

This finding is pretty consistent:

“Now, a study published in JAMA Pediatrics suggests that legalizing marijuana doesn’t draw teens to smoking marijuana and instead may dissuade usage.”

“Consistent with the results of previous researchers, there was no evidence that the legalization of medical marijuana encourages marijuana use among youth,” researchers concluded. “Moreover, the estimates…showed that marijuana use among youth may actually decline after legalization for recreational purposes.”

If you like numbers, there are numbers here.

“Foreign workers causing problems”
By Navajo Times | Sep 10, 2020

“These people are of Asian descent who do not speak English, but converse among themselves in their language. ” …

“Many of them are not friendly, but are of combative nature. Some Shiprock citizens have confronted them about their behavior and their disrespect to Navajo citizens, and often they become belligerent and combative. They have presented fear in which they have the potential to bring violence by producing guns and other weapons they have.

Some witnesses report these people not only carry guns, but also what appear to be grenades. They also have capability to detonate weapons of mass destruction or even deploy weapons of biological warfare.”

Edit: These “Asians” are grunt-level farm laborers hired to work on a controversial hemp farm.

That settles it, I’m moving to Indiana!

Although most “news” organizations falsely claim that Floyd was murdered by the police, no police are officially accused of killing him.

Chauvin is charged under the same statutes used to charge someone with murder who sells, say, fentanyl, to someone else who then dies of an overdose.

Chauvin is actually accused of “depraved mind”, “culpable negligence”, etc., for restraining Floyd and not calling an ambulance.

She stole an iPad and an iPhone and bit her mother.

“Kaepernick was born in 1987 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Heidi Russo, who is white. His birth father, who is African-American (of Ghanaian, Nigerian, and Ivorian ancestry), separated from Russo before Kaepernick was born. Russo placed Kaepernick for adoption with a white couple named Rick and Teresa Kaepernick.”

Damn those naughty white people!

That same guy wrote an incorrect article about opioids vs opiates.

But I also prefer the word “opiate”, not because I don’t know what the words mean, but because “opioid” makes me think of an Opie Taylor humanoid.

Liberty Elementary, Baltimore: academic rating 3/10

“This school is rated below average in school quality compared to other schools in Maryland. Students here perform below average on state tests, are making about average year-over-year academic improvement, and this school has below average results in how well it’s serving disadvantaged students.”

… which sounds like at least a moderate exaggeration.

“A Telluride couple is paying for their entire county’s coronavirus tests. “

I’m Not Chinese. That Means In The Absence Of Other Data That I’m Less Likely Than A Chinese Person To Have Coronavirus.

And…coronavirus?

The WHO named it covid-19 to purposely hide the fact that a much better name would be The Chinese Bat-Piss Plague.

There was nothing racial in the “racial fear message” except in the imaginations of the racists, the ones who claim it’s a “dog whistle” and also seem to claim that they’re the dogs since they can hear it.

the fact that a white-black gap exists is settled science

That’s why “They” freak out when someone mentions it; if “the gap” were nonsense, there’d be nothing to get worked up over.

The Royal Society

I heard they were changing their name to The Ministry of Truth.

Sad.

it is a benefit conferred on children by thoughtful parents.

The children of thoughtful and intelligent parents didn’t cause their parents to be that way, so those children are lucky (if they got the right mix of DNA), but you might say that the parents aren’t (just) lucky if their children are successful.

Besides, haven’t the non-genetic effects of parenting been grossly exaggerated?

The graph of 1st and 2nd principal components looks a bit like a map of the world’s land masses, if you rotate it about 45 degrees clockwise, and add some distance between Asia and America. And squint.

“You’d walk through the halls and it’s a lot of old white men,”

That stereotype[sic], Dr. Nichols said, can make the field feel unwelcoming to people of color, who don’t see themselves represented at conferences and among faculty members.

JPMorgan should fire Charles Belton; think they will?

All frames of reference, all observers, are equally competent and capable of observing the universal laws that underlie the workings of our physical universe.

How come I didn’t think of that?

Andrew Johnson was forced to cut his dreadlocks in order to compete in his high school wrestling match.

… and the ref who correctly followed the rules about hair length was suspended for two years and the rules changed to accommodate dreadlocks.

Now, you might say: “Well, that doesn’t mean much. It’s just that Muslims always name their sons Muhammad.”

Without knowing the distribution of names it’s hard to tell if it means much; do 10% of the kids get name #10, or do 0.01% of the kids get name #10 ?

I prefer the phrase “everyone except white men” to “women and minorities”.

OT, wanted to verify that the false story told by the NYeT a few weeks ago was false:

“N.J. teens [from India] hurled racial slurs but did not urinate on anyone at football game, police say”

Teenagers insulting each other is international news – they hurled words!

Latinxes are right about women.

What’s that old joke about it lowered the IQ in both places?

OT: In Britain, apparently none dare speak the words “intelligence” or “IQ”.

“Results from thinking and memory tests done by eight-year olds may be indicative of how they will perform in the same assessments more than 60 years later, a study has found.”

Even University College London won’t use the naughty terms, instead saying: “thinking and memory tests”

I wonder if the word “thinking” will eventually get cooties and be replaced by the word “knowing”.

“There is no perfect way of tracking witches in America,”

Apparently there aren’t even decent imperfect ways; the MSM has published plenty of claims about witches/witchcraft getting more popular, and the closest they got to providing any evidence was, e.g., that sales of witch-associated items are increasing 2% per year….slightly slower than the population is increasing.

“according to a number of studies.”

No information at that link.

“Additionally, Americans of all ages and genders[sic] are more spiritual than ever: “

The correct word is “superstitious”, and it’s decreasing, not increasing.

Discrete math is, in my view, easier.

As a math and physics guy, I found it to be the opposite….

I needed my dad’s help with calculus homework, but I was good at statistics.

And isn’t “data science” really statistics?

For a couple of years we lived immediately outside the Navajo reservation, and in most of the res towns we went thru by far the biggest buildings were the schools. Looking them up on greatschools.org showed that they were all, without exception, the lowest performing schools (worst students) in Arizona.

Most of the articles in the Navajo Times are about bureaucratic fuck-ups and infighting –
