It’s long been claimed that racists have low IQs, and that’s probably true if you define racism as hatred of blacks. But if you expand the definition of racism to include other races, it’s probably not as true.
Racists probably have low IQs for three reasons:
1) They’re tribal. If you believe in ethnic genetic interests, then we are programmed by evolution to hate other races, and low IQ people would be least able to resist their evolutionary programming. By contrast high IQ people can think abstractly and thus question their impulses.
2) They overgeneralize: One black person mugs them, and suddenly all black people are bad. This kind of simplistic over-generalization is a sign of low IQ, kind of like how the retarded Jason from the Friday the 13th films killed all teenagers because one teenaged girl killed his mother.
3) They’re conservative: Conservatism is a sign of low IQ. That doesn’t necessarily mean conservatism is wrong, it could mean that conservatism is so obviously right that even idiots embrace it, while it takes quite a bit of (misguided) thought to reject it.
Now point number of three is where it gets tricky. Not all forms of racism are conservative. If we define conservative as siding with the rich and powerful against the poor and disenfranchised, then anti-black racism is definitely conservative, because for the most part, blacks are the most poor and powerless race on Earth.
But if you’re racist against White people, or racist against Indian Americans, or Asian Americans, or Ashkenazi Jews, this might actually be a liberal and thus high IQ view; indeed the most disgustingly anti-Semitic people are often Marxists or anti-Israel leftists.
So it’s not so much that IQ is negatively correlated with racism, but rather IQ is correlated with the amount of wealth and power of the people you are racist against. So someone with an extremely low IQ would be racist against the black pygmies of the Congo; the most poor and powerless people on Earth. Someone with an even lower IQ might pick on populations even less powerful like dogs or cats.
However the major flaw with high IQ is it seems to put people at risk for antisemitism because Ashkenazi Jews have great wealth and power. Low IQ people tend not to be antisemites unless they’re in a culture where it’s brainwashed into them like the Muslim World, or raised by skinheads, because 1) low IQ people lack the facial pattern recognition to even tell who is Jewish and who is not, since the Jewish phenotype is much less obvious in Western countries than the black phenotype, and 2) Jewish behavior is very subtle and sophisticated, so low IQ people can’t even tell if a Jewish person does something wrong because it’s way above their head. By contrast black misbehavior is much more obvious and concrete (i.e. mugging).
Now if Jewish ancestry is a sign of high IQ, and sadly if antisemitism is a sign of high IQ, and if Jews are almost never antisemites, then the very rare and tragic people who are genuine self-hating Jews are probably the smartest type of racist of all, just because it would be statistically so rare to be both a Jew and an anti-semite, unless both traits were reflecting your IQ. Self-hating Jews are the mirror image of self-hating blacks who are probably the dumbest type of racist.
And of course all racism is evil, regardless of whether it’s a sign of high or low IQ.
Hahaha, this is the most convoluted thing I’ve ever read. Where’s Occam’s machete when you need it?
In general, all types of racism probably tend to be associated with lower IQ, since racism involves generalization rather than nuance and is more evolutionarily familiar. However, amongst racists, the IQ of the group you’re most racist against probably correlates positively with your own IQ.
I’m guessing two things drive racism: conservatism, and sociopolitical strife. The most conservative people direct their racism towards the lowest IQ or least powerful groups, i.e. blacks. Those who are racist because of sociopolitical strife are racist towards those causing their hardship, i.e. the English if your Irish, Jews if you’re Muslim, Pakis if you’re Indian, Jews if you’re Weimar German, or Chinese if your Malaysian. Note, that the latter type of racism is less correlated with the IQ of the group being racist; they’re racist because they actually feel threatened for some reason. Note that this also disproves ethnic genetic interests, because in all the examples I provided you have two closely related groups who despise each other with a hatred that cannot be put into words (with the exception, arguably, of Jews and Germans, who were genetically distinct, although the Ashkenazim had some German admixture).

If racism is evolutionary familiar it implies ethnic genetic interests evolved
However, amongst racists, the IQ of the group you’re most racist against probably correlates positively with your own IQ.
So you largely agree with me. I said it would correlate with the wealth and power of the race (a proxy for their IQs)
Note that this also disproves ethnic genetic interests, because in all the examples I provided you have two closely related groups
That’s like saying sibling rivalry disproves family genetic interests. People fight most with those they are in contact with, obviously, and since they are most in contact with their own family and extended family (race) this masks genetic interests, but it does not disprove them.
Pigmeus” aren’t capitalistic poors. Today one of the most powerless populations in the Earth surface are the White populations ( syrians, iraqis… Why??? ;-)).
I read in Steve Sailer that is happening leftist ideological selection to academia and media.
And a commenter post news in the swedish papers talking about Lewis Armstrong turne in this country during 30’s, probably. Openly racist, comparing Armstrong and their musicians as apes. I believe in genetic determinism to predispose us to behave like that but social contract or cohersion can do enormous influence specially for those who are extrinsically or socially motivated.
I really doubt that conservatives are less smart than liberals, specially the classical socially liberals. Is not simple as well because the disavantages of libs are the advantages of conservatives.
I think the fundamental difference between libs and cons are the literal bible cons, who reduce average intelligence of second group. More conservatives live in countryland than liberals. I think urban conservatives have same technical intelligence than liberals. Most nerds are not classical liberals.
Indeed, conservatism is more easy to understand. Liberalism say
-Prejudices is wrong,
-Animals deserve better treatment
-”whites” are guilty by slavery
– religions are fables…
In the surface, social liberalism look much better than bible literalism, even cold capitalistic and secular version of classical conservatism.
The average smarts types ( and gifted too but with better understanding and personal improvement because gifted are less prone to be a follower). will be more predisposed to choice this ideology than : capitalism is good, War is normal, God is a human jewish divine or no have climate change ( industrialization can continue to destroy environment).
In Facebook religion pages, atheists seems to be overwhelming smart than literal bible believers but some christians commentarists look very smart too. I believe most of smart liberals are born from yuppie technically smart fathers, when happen ”excess” of mutations to improve intelligence.
I bet if you controlled for religious belief, conservatives would be far smarter than liberals. In other words, if you compared atheist conservatives to atheist liberals, the conservatives would be more intelligent; if you compared Evangelical conservatives to Evangelical liberals, the conservatives would again be more intelligent. But since conservatives tend to be much more religious on average, they turn out to be the stupidest overall when not controlling for religious belief.
I’m sure if I found the data I could determine for sure, just don’t feel like looking at it right now.
Race-ism and antisemite-ism was created to make people, i.e, white people specially, avoid try to understand and know about black and jewish nature. There are political tools. A just one word can be more useful and less biased than racism and antisemitism, JUSTICE, what the master rulers avoid.
Yes, yes, yes, and why these 2 groups are troublesome.
Also, both groups have poor visual spatial capabilities, so not good at all, for civilization.
And that’s what they both complain all the time. Jejeje…
Bushmen ( not in Texas, ;-)) have lower spatial cognition too??
pumpkin person, you are an idiot srsly
Most liberal Jews are in fact not very intelligent. The really smart liberal jews are in the universities, the 2nd smartest group of Jews lean the Republican side (opposite of Whites). Besides high profile politicians, dumb average Whites become Republicans, while dumb average Jews become Democrats.
And the problem with Jews, which is also why they dominate America. They are a varied people with varied interests, for anyone to pinpoint them and make a solid generalization. They make East Asians look like very boring people with very easily defined stereotypes. You even have Jews who run East Asian studies or Hindi Studies departments at the Universities. This is true. Could you imagine an East Asian person becoming the Director of Jewish Studies?
JS,
in true, we don’t really know who are the jews, even about intelligence. But, by talmud, his actions… you can have a little impression about real jewish average behavioural identity, 😉
Today, darwinism is happening and white populations are losing miserably. But i think every human population ( most them by followers) have the same vulnerabilities. Just whites are first victims. The social and cultural environment of white nations are toxic for the own whites, the web of spider.
White followers are blind about reality.
I read recently that jewish religion say for him they are gods, then everything can be made for him or ”for the -genius- everything can, no rules”.
If old anthropologists and social scientists are right, ashkenazis have at least the double of lunatics than gentiles.
Rationally liberalism makes more sense.
I guess this is a relevant time as any to discuss my transformation from liberal shithead to racist.
First question is why are people primarily antiracist?
1. FEW people have met True geniuses.
MAJORITY of people girl through life living amongst people +- 15 Iq points.
Secondly in fields such as liberal arts it is difficult to tell the difference between a 100 iq black and a 140iq white. When grading a paper as long as you don’t make grammatical errors and structure your paper correctly you are guaranteed to get a B or better. A lot of 110 iq blacks going to Harvard are capable of this. It is only when you push yourself to the limit that it becomes clear that there are people far smarter than you. This is something only seen in mathematics and hard sciences. Where many 110 Iqs will spend 5 hours studying while seeing a super genius study for half an hour and ace the exam. This is because a good deal of the material classes (using engineering as a example) such as differential equations, real analysis, discrete mathematics, Laplace transforms are nearly impossible for a 110 to comprehend in detail.
This leads to the liberal idea that we are all equal since all the black kids in my school had reasonable gpas! Therefore we should support affirmative action!
Furthermore a lot of research needs to be done regarding heredity and the validity iq and the existence of race along with a understanding of statistics.
I don’t believe that it is a coincidence that majority if the people in the educated racists sphere are STEM degreed males.
My story began in college while studying engineering at an extremely selective program. Everybody was a top student from their high-school and had math sat’s above 700.
The freshman class for my major was around 100 and roughly 1/5 were NAM, 2/5 were white males, 1/5 were Asian/white females, 1/5 were Asian males.
AFTER the 4 years the demographics were extremely different.
30 graduates roughly 60% Asian males 30% white males and 10% NAM 0% female.
throughout this process several people were witnessed who cut every class, had Facebook pictures from campus parties every single night and seemed to be juggling jobs and club activities yet still managed to crush the curve. Several people were witnessed studying 6 to 8 hours a day, and failing exams and ended up changing schools or majors.
This experience led me to the idea that intelligence was something you were born with. Most libtards when they see someone like Terence Tao truly believe that they could be just like him if only they had his interest in mathematics and his work ethic, and all of the other mathematicians that aren’t him are just not as dedicated.
After coming to this conclusion I later had to be sold in the idea that intelligence was heritable and finally that race was real.
This post is fairly long already and I am getting off topic.
In summary liberals dominate because
1. Liberal art grades seems to have low correlation with iq, a lot of really dumb people have liberal arts phds and are heavily indebted and have no understanding of the scientific method. This leads to a anybody could do it belief.
2. A minimum amount of math competency is required in order to understand things such as correlation, probability, regression.
3. A large body of knowledge needs to be absorbed in order to prove the iq and race
In the sunday, brazilian television i heard the phrase ”is need to be intolerant with ”intolerant” people”. But as define ”intolerant”???? Most people no have curiosity&capacity to search meaning of words or even the second intentions, sheep syndrome.
And socially liberals HATE real debates.
Ive enjoyed your blog so far but this is definitely your weakest article. A better predictor for racism levels is testosterone. You cant rationalise away physiology. Particularly if you have a large amygdala.
I noticed i became a lot more racist myself as i started lifting weights. To be sure i was always wary of the other and rationalised my primordial feelings with much the same social engineering epitephs to make jews safe.
But if you feed the dog, it will eventually bark. And then bite.
That is the essence of all human nature.
I think some of the criticisms above are misguided but the main problem with this article is that there’s a sort of assumption made that only Jews have a high IQ which is of course bollocks. There are high IQ people in all races, however some have higher IQ on average and more likely to have high IQ such as the Jewish being the most obvious example.
The other problem with this article is that it, presumably intentionally (to avoid the article being mocked even more than it has been), makes no mention of Hitler even though he was one of, if not the, most successful anti-Semite in history in terms of removing Jews from the planet. Although, for the same reason, being an evil dictator hell bent on murder, so obviously contravening accepted social values of the West, he was a massive failure, in that he lost the war, and enforced establishment of a society where anyone supporting anything he stood for is ostracized. The established governments therefore make a massive effort in History education to make sure everyone knows who Hitler was and the awful things he did, but there are already millenials in the US that know hardly anything about Osama bin Laden or 9/11, a massive treacherous act by our supposed ‘ally’ Israel, a false flag event which is basically equivalent to the Reichstag fire and has led to countless wars in the Middle East, which has toppled several regimes as well as promoting terrorism. This act against God has created the biggest threat to Israel in history, alongside the Internet, which makes it very hard to hide the truth, and the existence of nuclear weapons, which threaten to turn Israel into a radioactive wasteland, if they get into the wrong hands. The Iraq War may have been borne out of paranoia more than anything, and they were desperately looking for any signs of nuclear weapons to justify their war, but none were found. Therefore, it is clear that this attack was poorly timed, a knee jerk response to and is one of the biggest mistakes in human history. Should America ever turn against Israel, then it would be the end of them, and so they had to engage in a grand deception of gargantuan proportions in order to (attempt to) cover it up.
Anyway, back the the topic, I find the idea of ‘genuine self-hating Jews’ absolutely absurd, but the idea of another Hitler emerging from the ashes of the Second World War definitely isn’t.
