> [@](#): > > I’ve already given you a few graphs using census bureau statistics. There are more impovershed white people than black people, yet blacks and mexicans commit more crime. This is false. You have pointed to overall statistics, but have refused to recognize that poor whites do not make up the same percentages of the poor in _urban_ areas and have ignored the fact that blacks and Hispanics in _rural_ areas have no more prediliction to crime than whites. Your silly statistics about Washington D.C. are a classic example: Washington is populated, overwhelmingly, by poor non-white groups with a few very specific areas in which very wealthy people live. You then took the “average” income (without respect to its neighborhood) and matched it against an “average” crime rate (without respect to its neighborhood–and ignoring that it was years out of date) and claimed that the crime must be the result of wealthy blacks. That is so far removed from a valid analysis as to border on the dishonest. **halogen** ’s figures follow the same pattern. So, to repeat the question that you are avoiding: can you match up any _neighborhoods_ where the economy and surroundings are similar but the populations are white and non-white and show a significant discrepancy regarding crime? ---

> [@](#): > > It’s just the way the world works. And so is most of what Sionnach is attacking. What White Nationalists need to realize is that they’re their own worst enemies. If WN’s are the poster children for anti-immigration, then how many members of Congress are going to support that agenda? They’re going to provoke a backlash due to their apparent racism. My own #1 issue has always been the need to convince more people to use family planning. But many nonwhites–here and abroad–are suspicious that birth control is a subtle form of genocide. An effecitive way to make family planning more popular in the Third World is to improve the social and economic status of women. But here too, women’s rights are associated with Western culture, with its legacy of racism and cultural chauvanism. Efforts to convince these people that we’re no longer racist and have their best interests at heart are undermined by these neo-racists spouting off. ---

In the USA, one is much more likely to get the death penalty for killing a white person than a nonwhite person, as shown [here](http://www.ncadp.org/html/fact2.html) and [here](http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/race.html).

You are also ignoring the fact that “black people” are not linguistically or culturally homogenous. I have about as much in common with a black person from South Africa as you do. And why should the descendents of slaves be forced out of the country while Europeans whose families immigrated after 1808 are allowed to stay?

However, maybe part of the reason the Rodney King videotape did get so much attention was because it was just that…a videotape, and the TV news, which is where most people get their news, is a visual medium. Watching Tom Brokaw say “The trial of two brothers who raped and murdered five people…” isn’t as exciting as watching somebody be beaten…it doesn’t get the ratings. \*\* > [@](#): > > Some guy here likes Ethiopian Stew.

That will make it impossible for them to tax whites to fund their welfare and demand “affirmitive action”. \*\* There are blacks in America today who are entirely descended from people who came to this country in the 17th century, and, in fact, most American blacks are decended from American slaves. The slave trade ended legally in 1810, and therefore, most American blacks can date at least some ancestors in America before that date. My great-grandfather came to the US from Germany in 1870. Why do I, the great-grandson, have a presumptive better right to live in this country than someone who’s had family here since 1670? > [@](#): > > \*\*If they want to engage in that sort of thing, they can move to the country of their mate. \*\* Can people who are mixed race live on the border?

My position on this question is clearly spelled out in my most recent book: “The plain fact is that at present there exists no scientifically satisfactory explanation for the differences between the IQ distributions in the black and white populations. The only genuine consensus among well-informed scientists on this topic is that the cause of the difference remains an open question” (Jensen, 1981a, p. 213). > > […] > > No study of the correlation between brain size and intelligence, to my knowledge, has applied the necessary methodology based on sibling data (explicated by Jensen, 1980b) to rule out mere assortative genetic correlation between these variables.

pfft. Rushton, what does he know? let’s use his own words against him in a fun game!! From: [Race, Intelligence, and the Brain: The Errors and Ommissions of the Revised Edition of S.J. Guold’s “The Mismeasure of Man”](http://www.ssc.uwo.ca/psychology/faculty/rushtonpdfs/Gould.pdf) (warning, PDF file!) Ignoring the obvious ad hominum attacks in the paper (which also chastises Guold for the same thing, interesting that he feels the rules don’t apply to him…) Rushton notes that “caucasians” has a larger brain mass, and tries to argue that makes them score better on IQ tests: “…a difference of 1 cubic inch in brain size translates into very non-trivial millions of neurons and hundreds of millions of synapes” Then, later, when confronted with women with SMALLER brains scoring the same as the LARGER brained men, comes up with THREE excuses to try to pass it off!! So Larger brains only help when it supports his premise!!! (aka he’s manipulating data to arrive at the conclusion he has already drawn!) ---

D’oh! forgot to quote the three excuses! “…difference in brain size relates to those intellectual abilities at which men excel” “men average slightly higher in general intelligence than do women” “differences in brains size have nothing to do with cognitive ability but reflect greater male muscle mass and physical co-ordination on tasks like throwing and catching”–Note: Wouldn’t that make black men have the biggest brains according to him? ---

Certainly within each racial grouping are to be found countries reporting both high and low crime rates. The Philippines, for example, a country grouped as Mongoloid, reported one of the highest homicide rates in the world, 43 per 100,000 in 1984; Togo, a country grouped as Negroid, had the lowest reported crime rate in the world, a “rounded down” 0 per 100,000 in all 3 crime categories in 1984.

I’m more American than you, **Sionnach**. My blood flows with African, European, and Native American blood. My ancestors were here generations before yours probably even heard of America. My skin is the color of toffee, my hair is bushy and thick. I have almond-shaped eyes and pronounced cheekbones. I’m an American. Take any of the Russian immigrants that live in my apartment building. Just-got-off-the-boat Russian who knows no English, no American “ways”. Are you saying he deserves to be here more than I do? Simply because his skin tone matches yours? When Mexicans come over here and dominate the population, making whites (Anglos) the minority, are you going to leave? That’s ridiculous, right? Those Mexicans can’t come over here and claim a country like they OWN it, displacing the people and culture that have been here forever! How dare they! Well, as someone who has indigenous ancestry, I say the same thing about you, arrogant white woman. You and “your kind” don’t own this land; we’re simplying borrowing it until the next conquistadors come. And if you don’t like this concept, then you can go sulk back over in Europe. If you hurry, you can probably find the house where your great-great-grandmammy lived. _When my slave ancestors were picking cotton, or laying down railroad track, or building the White House, were they toiling so that White Folks could have the country all to themself? When blacks were forced to fight in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and all the bloody wars of the 20th century–and then came home to be treated as non-Americans, non-humans–were they grinning and bearing it so Whitey could always be running things? So that this country–like those water fountains not that long ago–could be Whites Only? To force blacks to leave the country is to deny them of their inheritance. My ancestors toiled for centuries so that their descendants could claim this country as their own. How long did your ancestors have to toil? How much dignity did they have to sacrifice? Did they have to pay as high a price as mine did? Why shouldn’t I believe I’m more American than you? Why shouldn’t I believe this country belongs more to me than it does to ingrates like you?_ ---

**Tars Tarkas** : Could you clarify a bit? 1. Are Rushton’s measurements themselves in dispute, or only their interpretation? 2. I seem to recall that scientists use as one measure of the intelligence of a species the ratio of brain size to body size. If this holds true of humans, it would seem to make the comparison of men to women irrelevant. (I am aware that brain size is not a pure determinant of intelligence, but am under the impression that it is thought to have some impact). 3. I fail to understand your note in your most recent post. It should make black men have the biggest brains. Rushton’s point would then be that it still doesn’t, indicating a deficiency. In general, I gather from comments by other posters that Rushton is considered some sort of quack. (See also tom’s post above). OTOH, I once read a NYT article in which he was quoted respectfully. What is your take? **monstro** , that was quite well written and eloquent. ---

Real brief reply for **Izzy** as i have to go to language lab. I probably won’t get back to this until tomorrow, but maybe someone else will pick up where i leave off (or explain what i mess up in this post) About the skull measurements: From **light strand** ’s link: > [@](#): > > Stephen J. Gould (1981) explains the methodological > errors that produced this order. Morton admitted only > three Hindu skulls to his “Caucasian” sample because > he considered the skulls of these people “probably > smaller than those of any other existing nation” (Morton > 1839:261). His sample of American Indians was biased > by overrepresentation of smaller Inca/Peruvian crania > and the inclusion of only three large-brained Iroquois > skulls. For some populations, such as American Indians, > more of the crania were female, making for lower average > means, while for “Caucasians” more male skulls made > for larger mean cranial measurements. Gould comments > (p. 60) that Morton was probably unaware of his error, > since he explicitly described his samples. The measurements themselves seem to be in dispute. Gould corrects them and the corrected table is in the link i provided with Rushton’s rebuttal. The difference given between men and women’s brains by Rushton is listed as 110 cm^3, which is more than the difference given between the largest brains and smallest brains listed in Gould’s table (1427 to 1361, or 66 cm^3). If brain size down to the cm^3 matters so much for his thesis in one area, then why does it seem like it doesn’t in the case of women? > [@](#): > > 1. I seem to recall that scientists use as one measure of the intelligence of a species the ratio of brain size to body size. If this holds true of humans, it would seem to make the comparison of men to women irrelevant. (I am aware that brain size is not a pure determinant of intelligence, but am under the impression that it is thought to have some impact). in the same species, the differences are inconsequential enough that it would be irrelevant. A 300 pound man would rate as below in intelligence when compared to an 180 pound man if they had the same brain size, as their body ratio would differ. Does anyone remember anything about Einstein having larger blood vessels in his brain? or am i disremembering facts? If true, that might have something to do with it more than actual brain size. The reference to black men having the bigger brains is a jab at the “Black people make better athletes due to genetics” argument, since one theory is the larger brain mass allows more coordination, then all the black athletes should have an enlarged area of the brain. ---

Well you’ve been increasingly reluctant to _back up_ your views, but it’s good that you are becoming less coy about _expressing_ them. Tell us how you really feel. ---

Libertarian said: > [@](#): > > I apologize for David’s behavior. You have no right to do any such thing. You have no right to speak for me in any way, shape, or form – and don’t **ever** forget it. You want to go suck up to the Nazi, have fun, but don’t mention my name in the process. I also find it extremely ironic that you later said: > [@](#): > > The only thing I asked her to define (way back in the Pit) was “jewspeak”. She still hasn’t. When I pressed for an answer to my question, you had a temper tantrum and claimed that she had answered it. When I asked you to apologize for stating a falsehood, you sulked and refused. Now you are going after the same issue. I would laugh if your behavior in this thread wasn’t so sad. I don’t know exactly what’s gotten into you here. To me, it looks like you had a little hissy fit because I had the nerve to come into what you perceived as your thread where you could debate with your little white supremacist discovery. (As if a real honest-to-goodness debate was ever going to take place with somebody like this.) I purposely avoided responding to a couple of your messages before this one because I didn’t think it would be productive to continue to argue while the greater evil is still spouting nonsense. But I guess you didn’t like the fact that I had a little fun in _your_ thread. Get over it and grow up. If you decide you’d like to handle this like an adult, feel free to e-mail me.
