The brilliant Steve Sailer has described Oprah as the greatest natural politician he has ever met, an excellent actress, and the billionaire who most earns her money.
So it makes sense that back in 1999, when Donald Trump first threatened to run for president, he suggested Oprah would make a good Vice Presidential candidate, telling Larry King, “she’s popular, she’s brilliant. She’s someone very special”.
16 years later, Trump’s not backing down, saying yesterday:
“She’s great, she’s talented, she’s a friend of mine. She’s a good person. I’ve been on her show. In fact, I was on her show her last week, she said, ‘Could I be on her show with the whole family?’ I like Oprah. I mean, is that supposed to be a bad thing? I don’t think so…I think Oprah would be great. I’d love to have Oprah. I think we’d win easily, actually.”
Even though Oprah campaigned for Obama in 2007, and is left-wing on foreign policy and gay rights, a lot of conservative men also really like her because she’s the ultimate example of capitalism at its best. That a person with everything against her (very low socioeconomic background, dark skinned black, sexually abused, illegitimate, born in the deep South) can through sheer talent, rise up to become at times, the richest and most admired self-made woman in the World, is a triumph of the American dream.
It’s also reflects the importance of brain size, since as I previously documented, Oprah is not just the most successful member of her race and her gender, but arguably the biggest brained member too.
Praising Oprah also reflects Trump’s political savvy. A lot of black people are still bitter at Trump for forcing president Obama to reveal his birth certificate, as though Trump were some cop carding a black thug on the street. Yesterday I saw an ultra-left wing black woman on MSNBSC bashing trump quite ferociously, but when they rolled the clip of him praising Oprah, she suddenly softened and was no longer tough on him.
This is an example of ethnic genetic interests. While whites see Oprah as their black best friend, for blacks the bond goes much deeper. Not only did their mothers and grandmothers watch Oprah, but Oprah is like their high achieving big sister. She looks like them, shares copies of their genes, and her talent, charisma and success makes them turn to her for racial leadership. When Oprah endorsed Obama in 2007, blacks (who initially avoided him) suddenly got in line in droves.
In the extremely unlikely event Oprah would agree to be on Trump’s ticket, many blacks would vote Republican for the first time in their lives. Also because Trump, with his ostentatious display of wealth, bling, and gangster like trash talk, resembles hip-hop culture.
shares copies of their genes
It’s wrong every single time you say it. Evolution does not care. A gene for brown hair does not care if it goes along with a gene for a flat nose.
Did I say evolution “cared”?
The empirical evidence is overwhelming as the BRILLIANT J.P. Rushton so uniquely understood:
With Rushton gone, the entire field is crumbling. They just don’t make them at the level of Rushton and Jensen anymore.
The empirical evidence is overwhelming
Naturally, the first point I made about mechanisms akin to GBE (as no mechanism has really been specified) was that it’s likely implausible for complex organisms…and what do you do, start citing to simple organisms as “OVERWHELMING” evidence.
It’s not in your ethnic genetic interests to be convinced so evolution has predisposed you to fight these ideas to the death.
My ethnic genetic interests would have me favoring EGI. The fact that EGI makes no scientific sense is what “predisposes me to fight these ideas to the death.” A gene doesn’t spread by remaining in one population.

Why do you keep repeating nonsense?

Really? How so?

According to you HBD doesn’t make any scientific sense.
Why do you keep repeating nonsense?
Sure, pumpkin.
This criticism has led some to believe that they simply cannot exist or that they only can be present in less complex organisms, such as microorganisms. Several discoveries within the past ten years have illuminated the validity of this critique.

You’re the one who believes that I must be non-white to disagree with any of this.
According to you HBD doesn’t make any scientific sense.
Actually, what I have said is that HBD goes beyond current scientific consensus, which means it bears a burden of proof and that it has not met that burden of proof.

So if the Wikipedia articles you edit don’t even believe in HBD, why should i believe them on ethnic genetic interests?
You’re the one who believes that I must be non-white to disagree with any of this.
You deny you’re non-white, but you also deny editing Wikipedia & that’s extemely unlikely given the content & timing of one of the edits
Your question is “if a reputable source doesn’t back my position, why should I believe this reputable source on a topic it doesn’t even talk about.” The article doesn’t mention EGI. Instead, it just talks about GBE.
And FYI I have yet to edit even a single wikipedia article. Though, it’s a testament to my power perhaps that someone edited the article during that time period.
You deny you’re non-white, but you also deny editing Wikipedia & that’s extemely unlikely given the content & timing of one of the edits
No, you just can’t accept that a) someone would edit it to reflect what was already present on several other pages or b) that my comments have influence.
It’s not like the position on the page is fringe. The best you could muster was quora and “kids-connect” and an article that was actually consistent with my point. I pointed you to two books, one of which is a standard text on the subject, that agreed with the position.
FYI, if I had edited it, I would have cited to any of the innumerable sources that corroborate it. Whoever did edit it, didn’t do that, which actually makes it more likely that they simply viewed my comments and were persuaded by them.
Here’s an actual scholarly source saying green beard effects are plausible in mammals:
https://books.google.ca/books?id=C-aSjMj8FK8C&pg=PA56&lpg=PA56&dq=green+beard+effect+mammal&source=bl&ots=gLVLw0OaX4&sig=GyIMDw6hzHHtRQnxIiQE1VTHm_M&hl=en&sa=X&ei=0sWBVZzIL8WeggTEioGIDA&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=green%20beard%20effect%20mammal&f=false
You just pointed to another example of a very simple entity possessing a GBE-like property in the context of an intra-body process consisting of cell-cell contact. The behaviors you’re talking about as manifestations of a GBE are completely different.
In fact, by all available evidence, the only genetic-anything that people recognize is health. Women tend to prefer the scents of men who are genetically dissimilar to themselves, so as to provide the healthiest offspring. People marry those who are genetically dissimilar.

The entire notion of “ethnic genetic interests” requires evolution to favor it. It does not.
You’re not even “spreading your genes” if you’re keeping them in the same pool. Genes spread when introduced into new populations.
You’re never going to be convinced. It’s not in your ethnic genetic interests to be convinced so evolution has predisposed you to fight these ideas to the death.
Hahahaha, ok pumpkin that;s it you lost.
Well judasphere, evolution has predisposed you to promote JayMan, Misdreavus & Skank since they shares ethnic copies of your genes, though Skank denies it 🙂
I sense an alliance against me forming 🙂
The only reason Lion of the Judah-Sphere doesn’t believe in ethnic genetic interests is because his God Jayman doesn’t believe in them and the only reason Jayman doesn’t believe it is because his God Cochran doesn’t.
And what is the reason for Cochran ?
And what is the reason for Cochran ?
I think, he thinks, that ethnic genetic interests could only work if the ethnic favoritism gene/allele already was widespread, but there’s no way for it to become so in the first place.
But of course there are ways, such as genetic drift, group selection, and green beard effects.
Of course Swank argues green beard effects can only work in very simple organisms but I linked to a study above showing they’ve been documented in vertebrates.
Chimps show group favoritism and inter-group conflict. Many scientists deny group selection is plausible, but of course it’s very plausible when between group competition exceeds within group competition which was certainly the case at some points in our evolutionary history and may actually even be occurring right now in several places around the World..
You’re not even “spreading your genes” if you’re keeping them in the same pool. Genes spread when introduced into new populations.
Nonsense. One other way to spread one’s genes is at the expense of some other population. Look at European-derived genes in North America. Or African genes in North America.
