Ya got trouble, folks
Right here in Globe City
With a capital ‘T’
Which rhymes with ‘G’
and that stands for ‘RACIST’.
Now I’m off read the head explosions in their comments.

Wow. The leftards have taken the comments over. Crap about the whiye way and we are different. Yes we are. But guess what? Most of us would like to see you off the reservation/plantation. Then you could join us in the real world (not counting leftards)
Of course the leftards have taken the comments over. It is the Globe and Mail, after all. The lefties are attracted to stuff stories like this like flies to shite. It is their written version of shouting down people they don’t agree with at town hall meetings, etc.
The liberal assumption in the US is that blacks and Mexicans are inferior and in need of help. By creating lesser expectations they create lesser performance, perpetuating the race industry.
The mega-billion dollar Indian industry is based on the same faulty reasoning. I live in Indian country and pretty well all of them work other than the young ones with a bushel of babies. Lots of Indians around here but not one life sucking reserve. Where they are lots of Indian Bantustans on the prairies the culture is a lot different and work is a dirty word because white man owes them a subsistence living and dammit they are going to live a subsistence lifestyle.
Wente has become more reasonable over the years. She may migrate to thee NP.
You’re quite right. The special treatment of “non-white” races (except Chinese and Indian) demanded by the left is itself racist to the core.
I am a zealous reader of comments everywhere I go on the internet. I often learn more from commenters than I do from the original article. Newspaper comment sections are home to the dumbest, least-informed people on the web, bar none. Nobody else is even close.
There are so many concepts of equality which are self-evidently ridiculous.
Consider the equality of nations. What can that possibly mean? First of all, nations are anything but equal in reality. Crimea proves that point. But even if we wanted to create an order that paid some respect to the concept, how would it work? Are nations equal as entities, or per capita? Because if they are not equal per capita, then they become unequal as entities. Paraguay cannot be “equal” to China. San Marino cannot be “equal” to France.
Then there is the concept of equality of individuals. Where is this possible in reality? Income, physical strength, and intelligence differentiate us to the extent that we cannot possibly expect equality.
Since races are groups of individuals, the same logic applies here. Races cannot be equal except by highly improbable chance. Now please note, this is not a “racist” concept because I have not said which races are unequal, nor have I said what that inequality means. What is the higher attainment, the wealth and technology of the west, or the close community kinship of the New Guinea jungle dweller? Each to his own. I have no grass skirt but I don’t have a smart phone either. I am working on becoming inferior to all races and individuals just to make everyone feel better.
The G&M is moderating their comments on this article with a heavy hand.
I was hoping to start a robust dialogue about the similarities between the architecture of 12th century Europe and the 18th century Native American.
They are not interested.
According to http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/nobels.html
Jews have won at least 193 (22%) of the Nobel prizes. I think there are about 13-15 million Jews in the world. I believe the closest genetic relatives of the Jews are the Arabs (Semites). According to Wikipedia, 6 winners of the Nobel Prize have been Arabs and there are about half a billion Arabs on earth. Most of the 6 Arab Nobel laureates were awarded the prize in the 21st century and many if not most of those prizes were for “Peace”. The Nobel Peace prize prize is entirely subjective; some people actually believe that Yassir Arafat was a terrorist more than a promoter of peace. I believe that Anwar Sadat started the 1973 war on Yom Kippur and eventually won a Nobel Peace prize. So I am guessing that “intelligence” as indicated by Nobel prizes is more of a nurture than a nature indicator, and I certainly hope that is the case. To me there are three major races; Mongolian, Negroid and Caucasian. I hope to Buddha that all races are pretty much the same under the skin because if it was proven scientifically to be otherwise nothing good would come of it. As an aside, to me, Codoleezza Rice is a strong indicator that men are not more intelligent than women and whites are not smarter than blacks. The only colours that can honestly be considered superior to all others are the combination of GREEN and WHITE.
I have read all Diamond’s books and hold him in high esteem. I do believe that populations are a product of their environment. Much of what people consider genetic traits are simply learned behavior from an interaction with their environment.
All this considered I do believe it a human trait to do the least for the greatest return. It makes a lot of sense. In our complex societies so many people make their
‘way’ in life by interpreting our environment to the rest. Through that process they can ensure that others will feed them in return. No matter how complex or convoluted the process it has existed since the cave. David Suzuki and Al Gore are perfect examples IMHO.
As a citizen I think we do no favors for those who live by holding their hand out. It is our society that isolates and corrupts our native population into ‘reserves’ that perpetuate their dependence. Sadly many natives accept this exploitation as their ‘due’. I never have accepted that as any cultural group can point to some time in the past that they have suffered an injustice. 3 of 4 family lines came to North America because of religious persecution. Should I file a claim with the Vatican? I do not consider any tribes sacred, white, red or black, oh I forgot tanned.
Move on and worry about providing a better future for your children and their children. Most do not even know the history they use to claim on going benefits from.
Anyone who has ever watched sprint races cannot deny that blacks are superior to all other races. The trouble is, that success in the modern world depends more on intelligence than ability to run fast. If however, we ever reach the point where success depends on the ability to chase down a gazelle for supper, blacks will be on top.
When you compare many places in Africa with many places in say .. Europe or Canada …. one would think they are different planets …. When all things are considered regarding how societies differ so dramatically, it’s reasonable to consider the there may just be different species occupying those places. At least they appear to have different enough Genetics to not be the same version of human. As mentioned in the article, the DNA evidence if piling up.
When considering what is better … I would have to come down firmly on the side of the modern western society as being a superior society. No one here would trade places with an African villager, but the reverse is not true. They all want to come to our planet and enjoy the fruits of our labor, wisdom, patience, trust, freedom, prosperity, health care, transportation, energy, upward mobility, freedom and for many … welfare.
Not all humans are evolving at the same rate. One only needs to travel the world and observe. The horrid violent, misogynistic disaster known as the muslim world could be considered evidence of that fact. Would you call the total subjugation of women an evolved position? Would you call sending children out to blow up Jews an advanced culture? Would call an entire society that wants to commit genocide on Jews a healthy society.
Now … How about telling me where I can find a black country that is fit to live in. Or closer to home … Would you live in downtown Detroit, or Chicago? Same example … fatherless youths everywhere … all destined to go to jail or die young, massive numbers of young teens behave like street whores … evolved?
You can live in Downtown Vancouver, or Toronto, or Calgary or almost any Canadian town or city … because the culture that still dominates those places is the advanced white European/western values that were created by centuries of cooperation by white people.
This is a discussion that needs to take place … we cannot move forward in denial and repression of thought and speech.
Meanwhile, we could go a long way to having a peaceful planet by not letting less advanced peoples immigrate into our world. Where there are great numbers of third world immigrants there are dangerous neighborhoods and they are not as tidy as they once were.
Just sayin’. I look, I see, I consider what I see. I don’t deny reality. Things are what they are and we need to talk about it.
I am presently observing our culture being stuffed down a rabbit hole while an abomination under the guise of multiculturalism is replacing it …. Not going to work. Like attract, all others pay cash.
Oops, that should read … ‘likes attract’.
The G&M wouldn’t allow the above post.
“(…)while Western institutions are designed to operate in the public interest.”
I laughed.
Interesting article, I have trouble believing racial genetics have.much to do with cultural advancement as much as tribalism and belief systems do. I mean look at lefty as an example – the left are tribal,amoral and have barbaric belief systems which stagnate their spiritual,cultural and intellectual evolution. They have devolved every more evolved culture which they infect. Race is a small factor in cultural evolution – it is unevolved thinking
which arrests cultural development, lefty is the modern world’s equivalent of the barbarian horde.
Scotsmen, Germans and Jews with Aspergers invented the modern world. This is the Phantom theory of the universe for today.
Seems like I have Nicolas Wade agreeing with me. Ha! ~:)
Leftie haterz gonna hate, nothing you can do about that.
Even the fastest blacks aren’t fast enough to chase down a gazelle. Sprinting ability may be an advantage in getting their first to claim the kill, but in catching gazelles it will be the hunters’ brains that matter most.
Intelligence, culture, and social behaviour are mostly the result of genes, not the other way around. It’s quite heartening to see that message – the message my ilk have been repeating for years – trickling into the mainstream.
“Diversity” means chasing down the last white person. Understanding this is the next step in your recovery, white man.
This article is a broader construct of the idea of “marrying into a good family”. You want your gene pool to blend with another gene pool which has good values – ie. the work ethic, respect and kindness to others. It has helped me immeasurably to know more about my parents and both sets of grandparents. I have never been afraid to try new things or to move to another city. And part of this was a result of the genes which I inherited via my grandparents who upped and left Scotland and Northern Ireland in the early part of the 1900’s. Anything was going to be better than where they were.
