Those familiar with the HBDosphere-that constellation of websites and blogs that peddle in notions of inherent and *intractable* hereditary differences in intelligence across racial groups, will know well their keen focus and interest in Black Crime. In their view, a big reason why Blacks commit more crimes is simple-they’re dumber. This is a group of purportedly sharp guys, but I guess they never learned the maxim that brevity is the soul of wit.
At any rate, the HBDers glorify IQ, having a strong triple digit number I mean, and pretty much excoriates those who don’t quite measure up-especially those who aren’t White. As far as they’re concerned, such people aren’t worth the bother of educating, “saving”, or in any other way dealing with them other than in the strictest authoritarian terms-all for their own good, of course.
Well, the past few weeks or so has shown us that the HBDers “concern” for psychometrics and the like is really only a thin patina of pseudo-science for their racialism, if not out and out racism: the horrific acts of violence committed by Joe Stark and Amy Bishop, as well as the mass LOOTING that took place in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Chile, were all met either with *silence* or, by patently dishonest spinning by the HBDosphere. For example, Half Sigma has half a dozen posts on Bishop, *but none of them address the very real problems associated with high IQ* (it also bears mentioning that Half Sigma loathes Sarah Palin, in large part because her IQ is too low). OneSTDV has on his blog a link to another blog, Lucianne.com, which has as its top post a link to a WaPo article comparing the Chile and Haiti earthquakes. The ensuing comment thread on Lucianne.com is basically the same HBD boilerplate, *but none of the commenters notes the fact that LOOTING brokeout immediately after the earthquake hit in Chile, captured live on CNN, Fox News, etc* (yet, for DAYS, if not WEEKS in the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti, and despite all the ginning up fears of such, much to the chagrin of many, there were no mass riots-certainly nothing on the scale of what the world saw happened in Chile. In fact, it makes what went down in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina look tame by comparison). As of this morning, Steve Sailer’s said nothing about Stark, Bishop or Chile. But he HAS talked, at length, about Black & Brown Crime, and, as recently as last month, about how Haiti would be most helped, by massive shipments of birth control.
When Whites commit acts of violence, there is always a reason, an excuse, a caveat; something egregious happened systemically, that needs to be addressed. Bishop had a long history of mental instability, had killed her own brother, held a car dealer at gunpoint and threatened her academic peers before, but she was given a pass, not just because she was a Woman and White, but because she was of the appropriate cognitive stock; “we’ll work it out”.
Stark, a software engineer/businessman, took extreme issue with his government, to the point that he not only killed himself, but attempted to kill his own wife and daughter by burning the house to the ground before taking flight in his small private plane into the local IRS building ala Sep 11. Last time I heard, software engineers were pretty sharp IQwise.
Chile’s national IQ is about 93, in comparison to Haiti, at a lowly 67-yet the live feed shown around the world, of well fed Women and well dressed Men carrying out armfuls of items from stores, Kool-Aid smiles a mile wide; meanwhile, the worst stricken by the disaster in Gonaives broke out into song and peacefully marched.
Compare and contrast.
I could go on, but by now the point is made, and in crystal clear fashion. When it comes to White Crime, especially those committed by the Cognitive Elite, the HBDers can and will give them a pass, if not turn a blind eye altogether. It is for this reason that they are worse than mere racists; they are fundamental intellectually dishonest, too.
Which explains why they can’t be taken seriously, by anyone.
Now adjourn your asses…
