Entry: Two New Myth-Busting Books Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/two_new_myth_busting_books#4931 Post contents: @John Ball Bernie asked, “How many blacks would agree that their race is something not categorically definable?” Very few, because most people of all races are fools. Do you agree with those fools? Well, my point was to note the difference between blacks and whites. Almost any white -- including my racialist self -- would be fine with a government, media, academy, culture ...etc that did not recognize race. Almost no blacks would be fine with this arrangement. So, if we are angry with the "Browns," perhaps our guns should be aimed at the NAACP, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and all the rest of the black racialists. Now, as to whether I agree with black racial consciousness, I would have to say no. But it certainly does provide many benefits to blacks. For example, if we had the "race doesn't exist" arrangement, we would notice that the top schools would be almost entirely white and Asian while blacks would be greatly overrepresented in the jails and service jobs. We would still have non-blacks very reluctant to live next to or go to school with blacks. Under our current system, blacks get positions in schools, colleges, corporations, government and other institutions they would not have if they did not have black skin. Blaming whites for literally everything (and if you disagree, please name one problem that blacks do not blame on whites) also has its psychological rewards as blacks never have to confront their own failings.
