How do we do this? DEVOLUTION OF POWER. I know, I know, it isn't ALL that simple. But enough people prefer the company of their own race that given enough time internal migration patterns would pretty much sort people into living with their own race. Multicultural places would also exist, and that's fine too. 

I cannot emphasize enough how much giving as much power to as local a level as possible would help things. Example: take a look at the 2016 election. America pretty much voted 50/50, with Clinton winning by 2%. How many states were decided by less than 2 points? 6, or about 10%. Now take a look at the county map (https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/results/president) just play around...how many counties were decided by less than 2%? Far fewer than 10%. 

Now look at the PRECINCT map (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/upshot/election-2016-voting-precinct-maps.html). How many of those were decided by less than 2%? Almost none. And of those that were, almost all of them border heavily red and heavily blue precincts suggesting that within them there would also be a stark divide. 

Do you see the point? In general, the more local you go, the more harmonious you get. The way to deescalating political conflict in the USA is localism, not white nationalism. My ideal society is not very likely, but it's a lot more likely than a critical mass of Americans becoming white nationalists.
Our conflicting viewpoint is that you think localising government is going to solve the problem. It may have a positive, initial impact -- I will give you that. I don't think that initial, positive impact will last, though, for reasons cited above. This extends from the innate tribalism (which is often racial in-group bias), ESPECIALLY in light of Blacks and Hispanics engaging in such practice AND being rewarded with land.

Not to mention that your kind of thinking stooped Whites in this awful mess. Whites need to stop thinking in terms of humanity and what is best for everyone, and start thinking in terms of their own interests. No other racial group is playing the role of arbiter -- impartial to their own needs.

Tangent: Young white men must be extremely republican. Trump somehow pulled a win with whites 18-24, and he sure as shit did not come anywhere close to winning college aged white women.
True.

Again, it would be interesting to see how the numbers would stack, given the annihilation of the Progressive narrative.

I support a total moratorium on all immigration outside of around 100,000 a year for highly specialized scientists/engineers/whatever so no argument here. But what about the people already here? Non hispanic whites are only around 50% of the births in this country--demographic change in the US is a fait accompli. If you care about the fate of white people (or just people in general) we're going to have to find a way to make this work or it's just going to continue to escalate into outright violence. And again, there have been multiethnic societies of the past that have done well, and they did it by having all sorts of mechanisms to minimize conflict. As an example, lowering the stakes of national politics by devolving political power to the states would help a LOT imo. 
Yeah it's probably too phantasmagorical to limit White nations to only White people. I think highly qualified non-Whites would enjoy living in a White country, too.

As for the people already here, we can support policies that further the interests of White people, but hurts other racial groups in living here. This will need to be done covertly because, as you mentioned, outright violence is a possibility from all of this. We simply need to find things that mostly White people benefit from, and things mostly non-Whites are hurt by. Make these non-Whites leave thinking they're doing it on their own terms, and everything will be rationalised without violence.

As for the multiethnic societies doing well in the past, I think that would need to be compared to the outcomes of racially homogeneous societies, in order to garner conclusive evidence. Not an easy comparison, considering all the factors. Nevertheless, perhaps you could inform me as to how these multiracial societies has "done well", using numbers or some kind of metric.

When it comes to millennial whites in particular you have to wonder how much of that racial identification isn't in the sense you want, but in the sense of "I recognize my privilege as a white person." 
I don't have access to the data anymore (it's now restricted access). It would be interesting to know if it was clear that your sematics were considered by some White people, or whether the questionnaire explicitly stated against those semantics.

I know it's not specifically mentioned here, but your other point about White in-group divisions I think is our other major point of disagreement. You think that Progressive Whites are the enemies of White Nationalists (or arguably Whites in general). Currently, I think we could call this as true. However, if we were to break the Progressive narrative, do you think that none of the Progressive Whites will flip from that political ideology?

But yeah I don't disagree with you that many people vote based on their identity, which itself is heavily influenced by race. In a society where all 320 million Americans of different races have to have almost all of their rules decided by one federal government that is a massive problem. In a better version of America where a man who is proud to be black and only wants to interact with black people is allowed to live in a black neighborhood, send his kids to a black school, and be have most of his rules set by black leaders---who DONT set rules for whitey---this would be much less of a problem. 
This is essentially Whites losing space. Would you argue that this is a good thing?

That aside, perhaps this would work within communities. However, as we've seen with Israel and Palestine, enemies living so close to each other results in battles for space. I would suspect a Black state bordering a White state would invoke similar feelings, particularly with the 'Whites are Hitler, were brutal slave owners, and are also privileged' narrative. I know we're in speculative territory, but do you think opposed factions could live side-by-side?

@PhilSam95
Yeah, I saw in Ryan Faulk’s video and a couple of books written by philosophers that intelligence researchers think that genes do play a role in the black/white IQ gap. This suggests that, as you pointed out, the claim that race differences in intelligence are 100% environmental is completely rejected by scientists working in the relevant fields.
Yeah exactly. It has become a debate of what is the split, rather than "race doesn't exist" or "intelligence is determined by education".

What books have you read on white nationalism in general? I finished reading Paved with Good Intentions by Jared Taylor a couple of weeks ago. Currently, I’m reading Michael Levin’s book Race Matters, and plan to read more books on this subject. If there is any information you’d recommend that I check out, let me know!
I haven't read a whole lot on the topic. A lot of the stuff I've read is qualitative fluff, like Ride the Tiger. AmRen things can be qualitative, too. I suppose you need this rhetoric, too, but I didn't find it nearly as convincing as The Alternative Hypothesis. It's data driven so you can pick up a lot of the arguments and begin using them in debates. It also deals with common counter-arguments, so I've got a repertoire of some pretty handy counter-arguments after maybe 120 hours worth of reading and listening. I wasn't even a White Nationalist until I started to consume Alt Hype's content.

If I had my time over again, I'd read everything on the Alt Hype website (and maybe listen to the videos, too, but they're basically crammed summaries of the articles).

@nagisa3
I often look at threads like this and sigh.
It must be tough being smarter than everyone else.

Before claiming one race is smarter than another, why don't we start with definitions:

What is the definition of intelligence?
Firstly, I.Q. isn't necessarily intelligence. When referring to I.Q, we're referring to fraction of intelligence.

With the above in mind, you can basically take any dictionary definition of intelligence.

What is the delineation of a race? 
Delineations are socially constructed, much like colours. We know that colours exist, but where we draw the line is a social construction. For example, we could clump all red shades together and call them red, or we could further divide them 445 different types (https://drawingblog.mycoloringland.com/red-shades/).

What is the definition of the environment? 
It's typically anything that isn't hereditary.

Only when all of these are answered can this oh so strange discussion be had. 
Yet you proceed to post two more comments.

This selective pressure would've been tiny and for an insignificant amount of time. Firstly, most executions would've occurred in urban areas, Most people were farmers. Secondly, the amount of people actually killed divided by the whole population is minuscule. Third, the killing would've have to have occurred before they had children. People tended to have children a lot younger then. Fourthly, poorer people are much more likely to commit murder than rich ones, so the expression of killing might be repressed, but the tendency might've been repressed by money. So all the rich Englishpeople could've had a tendency to kill but never a reason to express it. We would have very few warlike people if this line of reasoning held up since they tend to go and die in battle. But that doesn't seem to be the case at all.

Most of your lines of reasoning are this bad.  
Are you able to cite any of your claims with research?

Let's assume those numbers are true (which is highly suspect)
Why is this highly suspect?

how would that have anything to do with intelligence.
Are you claiming that I.Q. has nothing to do with intelligence?

@Yassine
Can we address one topic at a time? I simply don't have the time to address 40 points across two different threads. I also don't feel like we're getting anywhere, because we disagree on fundamental things. I'd be happy to address all the points you've made eventually, but it's like a tangent-a-thon at the moment lol.

@Stephen
That will be the latter. He's [Yassine] good at conflating,exaggeration and lying. He's even pretty good at contextualising today's Christianity and the 'actions' of Christians with today's Islamic jihad. He will, somewhere, bring up the "crusades" as he and the keith prossers of the world always do.
But they always  leave out the part where the crusades were in direct response to 400 YEARS!!!! of  muslim invasion of the Holy Land, europe, and the Indian subcontinent butchering and converting by the sword as they went..  Yassine will no doubt bring into the mix the British Empire and overseas "invasions" by the USA whilst leaving out that there had been three rather large Muslim Empires stretching across the globe and hundreds of years before there was ever a  Great Britain,British Empire or a USA. The last Muslim Empire only came to an end in the early 1940'. and there had been no "invasions" anywhere by the USA until the muslim attack of 9/11.

Another favourite of the Yassin's and the keithprossers of the world is to blame the "West's foreign policy", while conveniently forgetting the intervention in Kosovo where the west  saved the lives of countless Muslims from Serbian ethnic cleansing. I can still see those lines of hundreds of thousands of muslims heading for the west where most have settled. I can still see the aid being air dropped down to these hundreds of thousands of these poor muslim refugees, from countries around the world including ISRAEL,  but the yassines and prossers won't go there because  to acknowledge such complexity - and the amount of charity given by the west - would be far too problematic.

There is no mention of the first Gulf War where, at the distressing pleas for assistance and thanks to US-led intervention, Kuwaiti MUSLIMS were spared the horrors of a protracted Iraqi occupation thanks to the sacrifice British and American lives.

In other words according to muslims such Yassine and apologist  like keithprosser, it will always be someone else's fault.
I've found that Yassine's responses are far more meaty than Keith's. When Yassine decides to actually cite things, he makes at least decent arguments, and sometimes I have to research before I can respond. I think I'm also having trouble with his arguments because our contextual backgrounds are so varied. He still believes in "racism" and evil White slave owner narratives. I think I need to focus the conversation on one or two topics at a time, otherwise I gish-gallop myself.

Keith's arguments, for the most part, have always been terrible. He'll make a throwaway one-liner or argue a line that has been flogged to death. I respond to his pathetic arguments off the cuff without fail. Then he ignores the response and continues to repeat his terrible arguments elsewhere. He's a waste of time.

I might bring those topics up with Yassine, when I get the time. It would be interesting to see if what you're saying is true.

@PhilSam95
I'm glad this issue is being discussed. I've been thinking about this topic off and on for seven months now. This is a huge and complex topic, and neither the hereditarian or environmentalist view on race and IQ is obvious to me.
It's at the very least a mix. 100% environmentally determined is utterly insane -- it's basically saying that despite divergent evolution in humans, we've all ended up the same in the brain. 100% hereditarian isn't as insane, but the data I've come across makes this too hard to argue, imo. I think the split is 80-20, but the most popular view is about 50% (amongst a bunch of intelligence researchers) (https://imgur.com/a/zpXGSxt). I've got data to expand into the nature-nurture proportions of people around the world, if you're interested, but that's probably the best.

Arriving at answers on these questions is extremely important. If the race realist view is true, for example, then this does suggest politicians in the U.S. should restrict immigration to high IQ nations such as Japan or South Korea. As Nathan Cofnas pointed out to me in an email exchange, Garett Jones's book, Have Mind, shows that the economic prospects of a nation are closely tied to its average IQ. This is because higher-IQ societies tend to function better for a variety of reasons. One important factor is that people with high IQs make better voters: they support better policies and are better at holding their leaders accountable, which reduces corruption. If race realism is true, then it's plausible that, at least for the foreseeable future, immigration policies that reduce the average IQ of the US will tend to have a negative effect on economic development and corruption.
Yeah. I can add to that: Blacks and Hispanics (lower I.Qs than Whites) are net drains on the U.S. economy (https://imgur.com/a/LxbroAl).

Interesting to suggest that higher I.Q. nations reduce corruption -- haven't seen that before.

I suppose that IQ and race could be correlated. However, I am confused as to what US lawmakers. or in fact, anyone is supposed to do with that information. Creating a caste system by which only certain races can take certain jobs seems ridiculous. Obviously, not all black, white, or Asian people have IQs which are average for their race. If you don't believe me, listen to Jimi Hendrix and tell me with a straight face that the man was not a musical genius.

Yassine and I, in several of our recent conversations, devolved the conversation into wild tangents, that I've only just realised are a waste of time (I can't address 40 different points with any kind of serious depth, when I've only got 5-6 hours a week to respond to this stuff). I'm not going to let that happen here. If you want to discuss this, make another thread.

IQ tests happen to be antiquated as well, and not good predictors of actual intelligence. A study published from the journal "Neuron" found that there are multiple, independent components of intelligence that a single integer cannot describe (8). Multiple "compartments" in the brain are used for different functions. These functions are largely determined by the external environment. For instance, those with chronic anxiety are less capable when it comes to short-term memory storage, and yet, could have extraordinary planning skills (8). Smoking, playing video games, and other choices that people make can also influence IQ (8). If the IQ is supposed to be an instrument which analyzes people's natural ability to learn, retain information, and analyze, then how can it change with external factors and still be considered to be a flawless test? In truth, science can do a lot, but it cannot reduce someone's brainpower to a mere number.
As for I.Q. tests not being good predictors of actual intelligence: "IQ predicts one’s subjective perception of a person’s intelligence the longer you interact with them" (https://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/04/15/the-validity-of-iq/). All relevant data and studies are under the heading "IQ Probably Measures “Intelligence”.

As for your study, I'm sure someone who is suffers from mental issues or with an addiction to something unhealthy (such as smoking), is likely to do worse than he/she otherwise would have (although, choosing to smoke is likely correlated with low intelligence, so this is arguably moot). It's not a flawless test, but most people come into the test without chronic anxiety. I.Q. is also partially environmentally determined (roughly 20% imo), so there's that, too.

First, the science on the correlation between brain size and intelligence is far from concrete. The Scientific American explains that when volunteers undergo MRI scans on their brains, researchers typically find a weak correlation between brain size and intelligence. Brain size only accounts for about 9-16% of variability in general intelligence according to the article (1). The article also explains neanderthal brains are actually bigger than the brains of the modern day human. Despite this difference in brain size, the modern day human is accomplishing more in the realms of technology and medicine than ever before. 
Alt Hype doesn't argue that brain size equals intelligence, so let's just make that clear. It's a correlation of some sort.

So, you stated it's about 9-16%. This number comes from MRI scans of 46 adults.

Alt Hype would cite (these are the ones I've found with a quick search) at least these three meta-studies of over 100 studies (http://www.people.vcu.edu/~mamcdani/Big-Brained%20article.pdf), (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2668913/) and (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S014976341500250X). The correlations range from 0.24 to 0.40. I'm going to take these numbers, coming from over 100 studies, over your one study.

As for neanderthals, what you said is true. However, bigger brain size doesn't necessitate more intelligence. For example, men have bigger brains than women, yet their I.Qs are virtually identical. This is because women's neurons are more tightly packed -- they have roughly the same number of neurons as men (https://books.google.com.au/books?id=mrDwXSw2w5YC&pg=PA193&lpg=PA193&dq=womens+neurons+more+tightly+packed&source=bl&ots=wCDeHaR2kp&sig=QxdxQW-io6Jd3Vy84EMMvj_cAvQ&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=womens%20neurons%20more%20tightly%20packed&f=false). 

A large portion of the evidence provided in the article you cited came from Rushton's studies, some of which are littered with major logistical issues. Specifically, his 1995 study, in which he suggested that Mongoloid brains were bigger than Caucasian brains, which, in turn, were bigger than African-American brains. In the study, Rushton controlled for body size when making the measurements. Michael Peters of the University of Guelph cites 3 separate studies which show that body parameters are independent of brain size. Also, he shows that when not accounting for body size, whites have larger brains than Asians (2). Rushton acknowledged that Asian children had higher IQ scores than other races (3). Unless these IQ differences are somehow eliminated by adulthood, there emerges a major contradiction. If Asians have less brain mass, then how could they be smarter if brain size determines intelligence? 
Again, size of brain isn't the only determinant of intelligence. It is merely correlated with intelligence.

Second, there is a large potential for bias in the work done by many of the researchers cited...
Nobody cares. Argue to evidence and data.

Third, and most importantly, the conclusion drawn does not seem to have much support. Even if there are physical differences between races, why would that necessarily stop people from reaching success? Great strides have been made to further the rights of blacks, and many have been able to become doctors, lawyers, politicians etc. Intelligence, which you seem to suggest is lacking in blacks, is determined through more than genetics. The U.S. National Library of Medicine suggests that nutrition, education, and home environment all affect IQ (6). Given the persistent gap between white and black earnings, perhaps some of these observed differences on IQ scores are to be expected (7). Poor households are ones that cannot afford tutoring, medicine, or healthy food. 
The physical differences impose limitations. For example, some high-end university research work, such as theoretical physics, requires a high amount of I.Q. If you're from a race of low I.Q, chances are that you don't have the I.Q. necessary to do the research (at least quickly enough for the job).

The "rights of blacks" are merely political weapons designed to take resources from other political tribes. Furthermore, Blacks get bonus SAT points for university applications, due to racial quotas. Hence, on average, Blacks get into top-end universities easier than Whites (or Asians, for that matter), and as such are less intellectually qualified (https://imgur.com/a/af8lpua). These racial quota Blacks go on to fail these courses because they are too intellectually demanding. The Blacks that become doctors, lawyers, politicians etc. would have been so without these affirmative action "rights of blacks".

I.Q. is roughly 80% heritable, by the age of 24 ("Figure 2": https://sci-hub.tw/10.1017/thg.2013.54). Sure, if you give Blacks a better environment when they're young (when heritability less influences I.Q.), they will do better. But the genes become more and more expressed over time. They are going to eventually get left behind anyway.

As for poor households, lottery vouchers for "better schools" is an excellent way to see the effect of low SES children having better opportunities. Basically, all the low SES kids put their application for schools into a lottery, hoping to be one of the lucky few to gain acceptance into these "better schools". When analysed properly, the results show that there is pretty much no difference in educational outcomes for lottery voucher winners versus lottery voucher losers (https://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/05/16/follow-up-on-vouchers/).

In isolation, nationalism is going to be the default of any group. But I disagree with you that if we, for example, shut off all television and movies for five years, that most whites would become white nationalists. In a 95% white country, maybe. But not in a 60% white country. The thought of kicking out and/or murdering 40% of the population is way over the line for 99% of white people. How would the US even become white nationalist if all of the whites wanted it? 
It might take longer than five years, but the Progressive narrative is just wrong, so if discourse isn't filtered through the Progressive agenda (or, more accurately, the Progressive authoritarian jam-down), then the narrative will die.

Also, you don't have to murder or kick out anyone. Impose a non-announced White only policy for immigration. Give further tax breaks to people who know a certain amount of English words. Pay people with 130 I.Q.+ to have children. Devise a tricky citizenship test. You'll have a combination of less non-Whites entering and less non-Whites choosing to stay. Those are things I've thought of off the top of my head.

It's not the way forward. The way forward for whites (and everyone else) is to find a way to make this society work, and that would result in many overwhelmingly white communities that are allowed to exist unmolested because that's how most whites want to live. Same thing with most other ethnic groups. And people who want to live in multicultural spaces should be allowed to 
It's already been tried. We're currently dealing with the consequences of this attempt. Multiculturalism doesn't work.

Whites are just too diverse of a group to think this way, imo. In 2016 middle aged, non-college educated whites DID vote as a block and enough of these people flipping from Obama to Trump is what won him the election. However you had other groups of whites swing left...and Spacetime is right that the primary cause of political instability in the US is conflict between whites. Frankly you're missing the key point here, which is that it is very difficult to convince a majority population to vote as a block. Why? Because most of the zero sum gains/losses of politics come from others within their own racial group. You can promise to give blacks (11% of the population) something at the expense of whites (~65% of the population), but giving something to, for example, non college educated whites without it coming at least partially from college educated whites would be impossible. It's just numbers.
Historically, this is precisely how Whites have thought. Again, it's only due to the authoritarian jam-down of the left, the story about racist oppression and whatnot, that has all of these Progressive types voting against their racial group. The Jewish legacy media, the Progressive schools, the anti-racism laws, the black-balling of scholarly opposition to the narrative etc.-, they have to have virtually an ideological stranglehold on most institutions just to maintain the narrative. These Progressive Whites are abnormal, brainwashed people.

Think about it. What kinds of people do you get on the Progressive left? Is bright purple hair normal? Is tattoos everywhere normal? Is calling people who disagree with you literally Hitler a normal thing to do? What about dozens of random piercings? What about furries? Bronies?

Sure, it's hard to get people to vote as a block, but getting them *not* to vote as a block is even harder. Sure, you'll get some collateral damage. But people's intention is to vote for their racial in-group, and there will be the odd exception (unless brainwashing is involved, as is the case with Progressives).

Whites do vote as a block sometimes...when they are a minority. There are congressional districts in Texas where whites are in deep minority status that are kept red because those whites vote as a block and the hispanic majority doesn't (heres an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas%27s_23rd_congressional_district

Minorities vote as ethnic blocks, majorities don't.
Okay, you found an instance wherein what you are saying appears correct. But how about nation wide? Again, the top personal identifier, out of all racial groups (including Whites), is race/ethnicity (albeit for millennials). Please explain to me, because you'd be the first person on this site to even address it, how people could rate race as their most important personal identifier (by an overwhelming margin for most races), and then not vote based on it?

What if fellow whites are a big part of your out group? How do you convince those people to vote with you in a block? 
We need to destroy the narrative that keeps them Progressively conditioned. It worked for me. I've seen it work for other people. Sure, it may not work for all Progressives, but if we get the majority on board, then we've won.

@spacetime
On what basis do you continue to assert that? Neither of the two largest racial groups in the U.S. (whites and latinos) demonstrate any consistent sense of solidarity in their voting patterns. The evidence simply doesn't support the narrative that racial in-group bias reigns supreme.
The most important personal-identifier graph was a good start. Both Whites and Latinos voted race/ethnicity as most important. You've ignored it twice.

The 2012 U.S. General Election was an excellent example of Blacks, and to a lesser extent Hispanics, voting based on their racial in-group bias. You had both groups' Conservatives voting for Obama, overall.

I'd also argue that certain policies are racial, given that genes determine culture/ideology, and race is basically a cluster of similar genes. In other words, race is highly correlated to determining culture/ideology.

So, not only do you have people's in-group heuristical bias towards their own racial group, but you have their ideology/cultural notions clustering quite nicely.

I think your objections extend from a dichotomous conception of race and culture. That's why I was able to severly undermine the first source you gave me. You need to start thinking of race as determining culture, and then culture potentially determining racial attributes by selecting or rejecting certain traits. It's a feedback loop that race starts.

@Yassine
I've read about that, wasn't really about criticizing Islam. & frankly, this never really about criticism, it's about hate, the kind no other group in the Western world remotely receives. If you express a speck of that about Jews or Blacks or gays... the least of it you're gunna lose your job. Tommy Robinson is not a good person, not because he is White you should stand by him. Not because I'm Muslim I would stand with any Muslim, for I should stand with the justice & virtue I believe in regardless of any Muslim. 
That's the thing. I think some of the criticisms are legitimate, yet it gets dismissed as "hate".  White people get a lot of hate in my country. You just seem to have it backwards. I don't know where to start.

Wut??? This is patently false. The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Daily Express.... In the US, the scene is lushly fertile. 
We'd need deeper analysis than statements.

This I don't disagree with. I've witnessed it first hand. In France, the French can't talk about two things, religion & Jews. If you ask then about religion, they say 'it's a private matter', unless it's about Islam, then 'that's a backward religion'. If you ask them about Jews, they panic & start lauding & move on.
You should record them and tally the types of responses you get. That would be decent evidence.

How?! The overwhelming majority in the media & academia are White. Something is missing in communication between us here. Sure, the SJWs -who are mostly White- attack some Whites for things they said or done (& would attack Muslims even more so if they said or done those things). But as I understand it -clear as day- it's not anti-White, it's more progressive White anti conservative White, who usually -& ironically- attack them for not accepting others -regardless of justification. This is like me complaining about the demonization of Muslims in Turkey by other Muslims for not accepting other peoples. imagine Muslims in Turkey inciting against Christians in Turkey, & other Muslims are attacking them for it, would you call that Islamophobia? This doesn't make sense to me. One thing I do see though, it's the stigmatism -in the liberal media & academia- associated with the White heterosexual religious male as a symbol of patriarchy. But this view is invented & maintained by Whites themselves, since postmodernism started in the 70s.
Jews aren't White. A lot of mystery-meat people are getting into academia, due to quotas and SAT score boosting. Plus, have you read the link I sent you? It's not just White on White aggression.

Would you be OK if those groups were almost all Black? Would that be called anti-Black?
Well, gifted and talented classes won't be xD

But seriously, I wouldn't have a problem if this was in an African country. I don't even think it's a problem in my home country, especially if we had sane immigration policies (e.g. I.Q. testing, political affiliation etc.). If it's a Black majority room, they all have 130+ I.Q. and they're working on some fancy science things, I would encourage this.

I don't disagree, but the KKK succeeded in highjacking the 'White pride' label & tainted it, the same way ISIS succeeded in highjacking 'Islamic state' & 'Sharia' & 'Jihad' labels. If a Muslim attempts to publicly celebrate Sharia (which is non other than Islamic worship & ethics) they'll be associated with ISIS. Who knows, maybe this will change. Hoping it will. Why don't you do something about it? Why don't you promote White pride in its ideals & core traditions?
I think the Progressive, Jewish media had a hand in this, too. But sure, the KKK might not have been the most wholesome organisation -- I don't actually know (I find myself having to slowly undo the brainwashing I received at school).

Whites who speak out against this get shut down, shamed, black-balled, doxxed etc.

White nations is not a good descriptor, maybe European nations to depict geography, or French, German, Spanish, British, Italian... nations. & yes, the Western nations is how those nations are referred to, the same way nations of the Middle East, or Far East... are referred to.
Idk all those countries you listed are pretty White, with maybe the exception of Spain (due to, and I'm guessing a bit here due to time constraints, admixture).

In the first case I was referring to the White-Muslim narrative (colonialism & invasions & such), in the second I was referring to the White-Black narrative (slavery & racism & such).
So I assume that you don't support one of those narratives? Forgive me if you already told me, but which don't you agree with?

No, it should've bombed whole countries full of innocent people who had nothing to do with it -solely because they were weaker. Really?! From such a mindset, it's very difficult to morally defend your position.
Look, I'm not going to defend the actions of pre 9/11 America. I'll I'm saying is that the Muslim world shouldn't have been surprised when there was a reaction to 9/11. I actually lean towards the side of America being in the wrong, throughout all of this (only lean because I haven't studied it thoroughly).

I know it's not a fact, for such criticism -or rather hate- is overwhelmingly abundant. The amount of hate against Islam & Muslims out there is unimaginable. Thankfully, most don't care.
I could construct an argument, but it would take me awhile. This isn't easy to prove. I guess look at what happened to Tommy Robinson. Look at how Muslim gangs are treated. Things along those lines. If you want to address hugely complex ideas such as this, I think we need to limit the scope of our discussions. It would take me 10s of hours to respond to one round of responses, if I were to do it thoroughly.

I made no arguments, true. There is nothing to argue against, you've stated inaccuracies. I simply suggested that you look more into this, you'll find plenty. Slavery brutality is a well documented & recorded history. You have to understand the *extreme* prejudice & callousness Whites had at the time against other races, & most of all the Black race, that's what led to things like the Holocaust. It doesn't leave a lot of room for kindness to your own property.
If it's well documented and recorded, cough up the evidence, champ.

The Holocaust is a nuanced topic that I frankly don't have the time to discuss here. What I can say is that the public narrative isn't all that accurate, and Hilter engaged in whatever he engaged in because he thought the Jews were too smart for Germans.

Yes, I've read the article. I see everything you quote comes from this website. Facts!... It's probably talking about the condition of slaves in the North. Some of things mentioned in the article were accurate, such as working conditions between chattel slavery for Blacks & labor slavery for Whites, in that the former got it bad, but the latter got it worse. But claims of kindness & wellbeing as a norm is an exaggeration. Indeed there were kind slavers, Jefferson is one. But the norm as documented in the South was not such -with the exception of Utah. Slaves were prohibited from learning otherwise punished, along with those who attempt to teach them. They were often brutalized & subjugated... Runaway slaves executed or branded & tortured..etc! Maybe there is an alternative narrative to this alternative hypothesis?
Probably talking about? Lol dude just read the damn article and present your counter-evidence. Again, prove to me that slavery in the U.S was as bad as you say it was. Prove to me that slave owners, who probably paid a lot for African slaves, would treat them brutally and kill them off. Prove to me that the increased nutrition is compatible with brutal beatings and maltreatment.

Well, you see, we have fundamentally different understanding of what 'slave' is. Western style slavery was never a thing in Islam, to even end it. A slave in Islam is someone in a contractual or non-contractual (Qin, Mudabbar, Um Walad, Mawla) patronage with his master, in which the latter is legally responsible for the maintenance & protection of the former, while the former is responsible for his service to the latter in that which benefits him but does not harm himself ; anything beyond that is no business of the master. A contractual patronage can be in the form of Mukharaja (the slave contracts his master or another employer for a wage against a service) ; or Mukatada (the slave contracts the master over working to buy back his freedom). Non-contractual patronage comes in many forms too...etc. To illustrate the difference, slaves made up two of the 4 ruling factions of the Ottoman empire, the military (Janissaries) & the harem (eunuchs & concubines). Slaves in the Ottoman empire were generals & commanders & officers. Even further, many Muslim dynasties who founded states were slaves, such as the Mamluk dynasty of India or the Mamalik Sultanate in the Middle East. So, we don't really share the same concept of 'slave'.
Okay, so there is a difference. Do you think Islamic forms of slavery should be allowed to exist?

How are Whites not allowed to form groups, that's a constitutional right?!!! 
It doesn't happen in practice, as my short-list showed.

How do you change that?
Not sure it can be changed. Jews have such a stranglehold on it. The Progressive narrative has sunk its teeth in deep. Might need a major revolution. Idk.

Racism: 'prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior'. It may have been used loosely & abusively in a lot of circles, but it does have a meaning. Sometimes somethings are definitely racist.
It's application is slanderously conflationary, as explained in my linked post. Stop using sloppy language.

A lot of White people are Muslim... That said, there is indeed such a thing as 'Islamophobia', when Muslims are demonized or harmed... It's not quite criticism of Islam, it's more like hate. What do you mean political immunity? Immunity from whom & for what? Do Muslims enjoy such political immunity? Can Muslims call for violence against White people? Can Muslims publicly incite hate against White people? Whites run 95% of the show, Muslims (or any other minority -except Jews) are at their mercy, if not for Whites themselves. Every mosque in France is constantly monitored, every imam is chosen by the municipality, 90% of sermons they give are about how to be good to the French & a good citizen. If the imam attempts to incite Muslims against the French or says a whiff about Jews, he will definitely see himself inside a cell the next morning.
We both know most Muslims are not White.

Islam has caused, perhaps at times indirectly, a whole heap of terrorism. IS, Wahabism, 9/11 attacks etc. Not irrational to fear those things.

Muslims enjoy immunity from criticism in the U.K. The same is the case in Australia, but perhaps to a lesser extent. You can't openly criticise Muslims in these countries without pushback from the legacy media. Whites don't run the show there, the Jews do.

As for France, again peaceful Muslims can still overthrow the country by simply voting peacefully. So, even when they're peaceful, they are still a problem for the native population.


I'll respond to the rest soon...

Yes, I don't think White people are demonized as a whole. It's -mostly- White people on other White people, namely the progressive leaning side against the far-right & similar ideology. Of course I don't agree with this, it is indeed an unfair injustice. What isn't worth discussing, as I stated, is the comparison Muslim/White which seems absurd to me, as it is. One thing I can say is that in academia & entertainment especially -a heavily progressive world- the White male heterosexual religious figure has become a somewhat of a trendy nemesis. This really hasn't got anything to do with Whites people demonized, it's simply what the Western culture at large has attained at the moment in its goal to destroy the old paradigm symbolized by this nemesis.
I've cited my short-list of racial hatred/disenfranchisement of White people. White on White aggression is certainly a problem, but again, I've cited instances wherein it's not. The White, male heterosexual problem is another problem that White people face, not the only one. Maybe this differs for the countries in which you live, but in countries like the U.S, Australia and the U.K, my claims are valid.

Are you referring to Colonialism? I don't think 'Whites' have ever been racially impartial. The notion is indeed so alien to me, maybe this is a Western thing, the Romans did it too. A race driven civilization, as opposed to tribe or religion or ethnicity or even dynasty. But indeed, Europeans procured the torch of civilization, created a miracle & established empires -which crumbled shortly before them (in historical terms), for they were rooted in racism & oppression. What did last long though is the ideals & spirit they spread, of virtue & justice & knowledge & the common good. 
Yes, Colonialism and the other things that Whites did to conquer. Some Whites have become racially impartial, due to charges of racism, wanting to be individualistic, virtue-signalling etc.

Racism is a bogus term. Oppression is debatable, although there will be instances of it (but Whites have been the kindest out of any rulers, thus far).

Hahaha! That's nostalgia, I get it. But the thing is, the world has changed so much, & not in the favor of Whites. It was a glorious run, but civilizations & empires rise & fall. Probably the biggest catalyst of European decline is population, & our terrorist nutter knew it. Back then, 4 in 10 people were White. That's half the world population once you omit isolated populations. Now it's 1 in 9, & declining further in coming decades to 1 in 15 or less. Imagine when 1 in 2 people was White, the strong one can easily dominate the weak other. But with 1 in 15 people, where the others are getting stronger & stronger, it's impossible for the one to dominate the others, if any of them. Whites are becoming a rare breed, it's actually sad. I'd honestly rather have more White Europeans in the world than Blacks. Maybe now you know what you do. Didn't you wanna have a big family with lots of children? There is your answer.
Yeah I guess it's that. I'm going to have at least six children, too :)


My point was, if you have grievances & feel treated unfairly, that should help you understand others more, not dismiss & denigrate them. Injustice feels just as bad for everyone. Don't do unto others what you accuse others of doing unto you. 
Injustice isn't stating the problems of my racial group. They can be addressed and fixed without having to mention other racial groups.

Israel is an occupying force. Pakistan (& India) comprise numerous different peoples, Pashtu, Sindh, Penjab...etc. The conflict is a political one born out of post-colonialism (like many other conflicts around the world), not an ethnic one. Plenty other places with peace too. But seriously, imagine in Australia having 'Native' communities in their own territories with their own rulers & rules & laws & systems, 'White' communities, 'Indian' communities, 'Chinese' communities, 'Muslim' communities,,, & so forth, accordingly ; all under one flag, one nation, with an overarching government (Australia is a federation already) with representatives from all communities, everybody is happy. What do you think?
Can you prove that neither of those conflicts are ethnic, at least not partially?

What you describe for Australia is a pipe-dream. What actually happens is that people naturally balkanise. They're not bad people per se. They're just tribalistic. For example, an area near me called Lakemba has a high Muslim majority (over 60%, much more than Australia's low like 2% off the top of my head: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakemba,_New_South_Wales). The place is full of Arabic, Halal and has a big Mosque. Clearly, this place doesn't serve most White people. This is not an integrated community. This is natural segregation. I could do it with like Cabramatta and Chatswood (Asian areas).

What do you mean exactly they don't integrate? & what do you mean by 'push for Sharia'? Muslims comprised at one point or another 1/4th European population for over a millennia, before they were all literally purged out of it by death or expulsion. I don't know if history is gunna repeat itself, but "belong" is a matter of perspective. There aren't that many Muslims in the EU (2-4%), even if they breed like rabbits it'll take decades & decades to even get to 10%, which is an average number in terms of immigrant population in the world. That said, Muslims in Europe are, for the most part, citizens who grew up in Europe, so for all intents & purposes they do belong in Europe, the same way you belong in Australia, because you were born there. Had you been born in Turkey, you'd be a Turkish citizen as well.
They don't integrate in that they have their own groups. Muslims tend to stick with Muslims. Asians tend to stick with Asians. Jews tend to stick with Jews. Even if they integrate culturally (and they have no need to when multiculturalism is in place), then you still have to deal with racial integration.

Push for Sharia is literal. It only takes 10% of population to have unshakable beliefs (i.e. Islam) into order to see massive population changes in belief (https://news.rpi.edu/luwakkey/2902). Not all Euro countries have 10%, but some do (e.g. France at 12.5% in 2017: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_France)).

Slanderous terms? Alright, but invasion involves force & armies & weapons & occupation...etc. It should be something like if Indonesia decided to expand down-under & came & bombed the sh*t out of beautiful Sydney, & threw the country in complete chaos. This is quite different from non-Whites born & living there. I would understand if new settles start to take over the natives, to dominate or displace them, to the point where they actually feel invaded, like what happened with the Palestinians & the Jews. But this is faaaar from being the case.
Invasion can be covert. I mean, I don't care if you call it invasion or subversion or whatever. Immigrants merely coming in and living there is enough to see cultural and political changes. Some come in wanting to integrate. Some want the freebies. The result is that the host population dwindles and is eventually overthrown.

On the contrary, my plight is simple: injustice is not a monopoly. White people have problems, so do other peoples, a fact which our terrorist gunmen failed to appreciate, but I'm hoping you will. Had he realized that, he would not have committed what he did. What would you characterize as the biggest problems facing White people? What do you think about Colonialism? How do you envision the future of Muslims in Europe & Australia? Would you befriend or marry a Muslim? What is it you're most proud of from your heritage?
No one is attempting to fix White people's problems in a meaningful way. That's why White people bend over backwards to support Yang, when he merely mentioned White's problems in a Twitter comment (and he mentioned many other racial group's problems, too -- this wasn't unique). Muslims have plenty of solidarity, too, when compared with Whites.

The biggest problem for White people is that they've given up racial identity when others haven't. This makes them individuals and philosophers against tightly-knitted groups. 

Colonialism is a mixed topic. On one hand, Whites got a lot of land and their own spaces. On the other hand, it's lead to this. Idk. Mixed topic. Sorry if these answers are a bit rushed; I literally don't have much time with full-time work and such.

Muslims in Europe I'm not sure of. Muslims in Australia will soon (maybe within 50 years) be ruled by Asians in Australia.

I would befriend a Muslim. Not sure about marry.

I don't know my heritage. I was adopted at the age of two.

Holy shiz! This is a known fact, but DAYUMN! Even Fox News still manages to be the most pro-Israel among the bunch. WT*!!! Who knows, the people running the show here might also be Jewish, like in DDO.
Right. So when we say "Western media", a sizeable proportion of that is the expression of Jewish interest. White people don't have control over the majority of their media.

Exactly! "Whiteophobia" in a White country by who?! Other White people? SJWs who are also mostly White supposedly "attacking" other Whites? There is no "Whiteophobia" or "Blackphobia", because that's called Racism. I'm talking about deaths & bombs & invasions, & you're talking about SJWs?! What you characterize as demonization of White people is none other than White people not agreeing with your position, which is ironically demonizing other peoples... This is why I say it's not worth discussing. This is like me complaining about Islamophobia in Turkey when other Muslims don't agree with me.
Firstly, racism is a bogus term and you need to stop using it (https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/174).

Secondly, my point is that criticism of Islam gets tagged with the 'Islamophobic' label, at least in a lot of Western countries (arguably the worst in the U.K.). We don't have such a tag for White people. Whites don't enjoy the same level of political immunity that Muslims do, in a lot of Western countries.

Lastly, demonisation of White people isn't just done by SJWs. It's done by the media, universities, schools and the general public. I think I posted this to you before (https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/915). Your conception is horribly wrong.

I don't really get it. Why don't you explain it to me then. [...]  If Whites truly care about their heritage, they should revive it, & celebrate it in its full glory. Shouting "White pride" isn't it. The Chivalry, the Mores, the poetry, the faith, the Honor, the faithfulness. God...
The thread I wrote specifically deals with evidence of people disallowing or protesting things because they are "too White" -- this is literally what is said by anti-Whites. It can't get any clearer than that. Try using that 139+ I.Q. to read something super explicit.

Also, neo-Nazis and the KKK don't represent White in-group bias. They are fringe groups that the vast majority of White people are not a part of. To implicitly argue that White people shouldn't be allowed to form groups, due to the existence of neo-Nazis and the KKK, whilst allowing Black and Hispanic groups to form theirs (despite them having extremists, too), is racial hatred against Whites.

I never said either things. First, the narrative West vs. Muslims in the context in which it is brought up (invasion & oppression) is evidently not "racially hateful" - this feeling shared not only by Muslims in all their nations, but by virtually all peoples of the World, from China to South Africa. For a reason. Second, West =/= White people. When I say West I evidently mean the geopolitical entity, not the people themselves, who come from all walks of life, from saints to villains. Third, when invasions & bombs & the deaths of millions are involved, it is decidedly not "racially hateful". The West has indeed inflicted a lot of suffering to a lot of peoples -& also spread a lot of good, you may not like it, but it is what it is. All feelings are fleeting, but the feeling of bearing injustice. If you can not bear injustice done to your people, how do you expect others to bear injustice done to them by your people (an even greater injustice). So, what are you gunna do?
The fact that you can even consider Western countries to no longer be accurately defined as White nations, shows how bad it is for White people in these countries -- they no longer own their nations, in your eyes. 

Furthermore, I don't understand how you can make the distinction of the West being a "geopolitical entity, not the people themselves", and then later blame the "injustice done to [other people] by your people." It's like the West is a geopolitical entity when it suits you, and a group of people when it doesn't suit you.

Exactly! Which caused the death of many Muslims too, & America retaliated by bombing whole countries full of innocent people who had nothing to do with it. Not that this is any relevant to the point you were making.
Yes, America should have just said 'oh well' and ignored the fact that it happened.

LOL! I don't know about the story, but man, you're starting to sound like Stephen. Damn! That is clearly a false claim, & it's decidedly not the case in any European country. A good chunk of content on this very Forum is criticizing Islam, & in copious abundance in countless news outlets & all social media & mainstream media, some can't even shut up about it. That's a fact. On the other hand, many Muslims have been arrested in Europe for inciting violence or criticizing Jews... I don't know why a government official who's supposed to represent the people should get away with it over & over & over.
Tone policing isn't an argument worth anyone's time.

You can't criticise Muslims in the U.K -- this is a fact. I provided a link to help you understand.

This forum isn't irl or even a noticeable platform. The media only care when you start to make waves. That's why the U.K. police falsely arrested Tommy Robinson several times. The major news outlets don't let you criticise Islam. Maybe you're talking about fringe ones, or maybe you just don't know what you're talking about.

No one is allowed to criticise Jews, wherever Jews have control of the media. This is a non-unique issue.

Even if it's true on a theoretical level that race is the most important component of personal identity, that doesn't necessarily tell us anything about the prevalence of interracial conflict in the real world. The fact is that there really isn't that much interracial conflict happening in the United States. There is substantial political division within every racial group in America (except for blacks), and the political division among whites actually serves as the country's primary source of social instability: https://www.axios.com/political-polarization-whites-america-left-right-e2d8ba14-535f-4439-84f6-3ff60324beee.html
Interracial conflict, in terms of voting, doesn't do a whole lot. Sure, it undermines the White in-group bias (as we saw in the initial graph I provided). But since race is the most important personal identifier, and people are tribal, people won't care all that much about the arguments being made (since, for example, ideology is well behind race in terms of importance). You can have that 14% zealous few arguing and warring -- the majority of Whites are "exhausted" (according to your new source), won't listen to any of it and will simply indulge in their racial in-group bias.

Besides, you don't need overt conflict in order to sway voting patterns. People will naturally vote for their own race over anything else, and this is by some margin. It took a serious, anti-racist narrative jam-down, with a stranglehold on media and academia, to drastically lower White racial in-group bias, yet racial in-group bias remains the most important factor when it comes to voting.

In other words, unless the social instability is significant (and you agree that there isn't a whole lot of it), people will simply default to their racial biases.

@Yassine
Miss Cassie, had you actually checked the study you wouldn't be saying this, "We use the 17-years-old student group. They will form the later workforce and are the best predictor for the ability level of younger and older adults shaping the society...". & you mean 'heritability' -not particularly "genetic expression", for the former has been shown to yield overall moderate correlation, r=0.2 to r=0.7. You can understand correlation coefficient 'r' as the square root of how much variance is explained by said factor. That is, if heritability explains 4% to 50% of the variance, the corresponding coefficient is r=0.7=squareroot(50%) & r=0.2=squareroot(4%) (respectively). So 4% to 50% does not scream 'definite'...
I've discussed the fatal flaw in your study above.

you said, "these are not equivalent populations", so are the White & Asian populations in the same sense. What is your point then?
Spanish and Black people are genetically similar, despite having similar I.Qs. Was that really too hard to comprehend?

Can I ask what is it you majored in?
No.

Sorry to break it to you, but your data (if valid) does not support your claim...
Nice. You stripped the quote out of context and made a broad, generalised (attempt at a) rebuttal. Really good argument. Everyone knows what you are talking about. They are learning so much.

First, you still have to establish how Blacks & Hispanics are a net drain in the US economy (a strictly false claim, trust me). Economy =/= budget. Japan runs the third highest deficit in the world, so the Japanese must be a net drain on Japan's economy. China runs the second largest deficit in the world ($600B), the Hun Chinese must also be a net drain on the Chinese economy... yet China is one of the fastest growing economies in the world,,, Just NO! Second, Income = Real GDP/capita, i.e. GDP/capita in PPP (Purchasing Power Parity), a ratio to account for all the variables which may otherwise distort the measure (such as cost of living...). Good thing you noticed, but economists have already thought it out when they come up with these measures. Third, & again, indeed I'm using the word 'economy' to refer to the *actual* economy -unlike you, not the budget or the expenditure...
Firstly, when you're wasting $800 Billion per annum ($200 Billion more than the second biggest deficit, according to you) for nothing more than 'muh melting pot' and 'dun be raciss', you're impacting the economy negatively. IF (and this is not the case) you were actually using that debt to build something worthwhile (a hoard of leeches and underminers isn't worthwhile), then maybe you could argue your distinction between budget and economy.

Secondly, I don't know what point of mine you are responding to.

Thirdly, you're writing as if the economy and the budget are immune from each other. When you have -$800 Billion in the budget, the economy is affected. Is that clear for you now?


I'll respond to the rest later; I've got work in the morning...

Peaks for older adolescents, & thus adults. High heritability doesn't necessary imply "genetic expression". Regardless, no one is denying the Black-White IQ gap... For the US I seen estimates ranging from 0.7 to 1.1 SD, which is 10 to 17 IQ points. According to the study I cited previously, this gap is expected to shrink in the coming decades to 6.5 IQ points, roughly equivalent to the Black-White gap in the UK today (<0.5 SD).
The reason you are getting these incorrect conclusions is because you are comparing apples and oranges. Traditionally, mature adult African Americans and Whites have been compared (i.e. 24 years of age and older). You will actually get a higher expression of genetics the older you get (up until the age of 24). Using figure 2 from this research paper (http://sci-hub.tw/10.1017/thg.2013.54), we can see that heritability of I.Q. is lower in 17 year olds than it is in 24 year olds. Hence, you need to compare the same age group -- your study doesn't.

Indeed, but as you probably already know, the Flynn effect is much more marked in low-scoring groups (up to 5 points/decade), reason why the gap Black-White has been shrinking. I know who cited the 80% figure (Jenson), but that is discarded by the scientific community & has long been disproved. It has been proven in so many ways that environmental factors decidedly explain more than half the gap, once accounted for socioeconomic factors. It's probably more 80-20.
This is really getting tedious -- it's just too easy to say something wrong, and then force the other person to spend 5 times the amount of time fixing what you wrote. But anyway...

I don't know where you got this conception from. The Black-White I.Q. gap is not shrinking. Maybe if you compare children the age of 5, wherein the environment is a strong determinent of I.Q, against older people, then you could make that conclusion (under false pretences). You didn't even cite anything here, so I don't know what you want me to say other than you're wrong lol.

As for the 80% figure, it's not an unpopular figure. Your 20-80% environmental-genetic split is certainly not the dominant view. We're equi-distance from the average of 50% heritability (https://imgur.com/a/mSqOS5L). 

It would also, again, be nice if you could use sources to support your claims, instead of spurging with wild claims backed by nothing.

This doesn't answer my question, is an outstanding number of neurologists essential for society? The UK has 30 times less neurologists than the US, it's doing just fine [https://www.eaneurology.org/fileadmin/_migrated/content_uploads/Neurology_residency_training_in_Europe_02.pdf]. Greece has roughly the same average IQ as Black Americans, it's not doing too bad either. 
Look, I don't have research specifically on the topic of neurologist number. As for your U.K. claim, the U.K. is significantly smaller than the U.S. As for the specific threshold to when there is a dearth of neurologists, I don't know it. But you'd think, if you're importing a whole bunch of people with I.Qs. a couple points over the necessary I.Q. to get into the military, that finding neurologists out of those people, or nuclear physicists, teachers, university professors, anthropologists, laywers etc. might be quite hard.

As for proving that the UK is just "fine", please elaborate on how your paper shows that.

As for Greece, I'm pretty sure it defaulted not too long ago (and was part of the reason Brexit was pushed). Then again, I don't know a whole lot about it off the top of my head.

This is not a debate, it's a discussion. I'm not gunna bother looking for citations unless I'm doubtful about the information. Plus, you don't cite your sources either -images & videos are not citations... ;-) But if you really insist, I shall oblige. I never make stuff up.
This is not an acceptable excuse. When you make claims, you need to present data, regardless of the environment. That is how you construct a worthwhile argument. Stop being a petty drag on this discussion.

I have constantly cited sources. I'm not going to waste my time counting them up or something like that, because it's just so obvious that I've sited way more than you. Those images are the results of research (some are even tagged with the study they come from), and the videos are collaborations of research. Frankly, there's a chance you're lying about the quality of sources I'm providing, because it's bloody obvious that I'm citing frequently with quality sources. I'm not sure why you'd intentionally lie about something so empirically obvious. You need to watch what you say, champ.

"Race is by far the most important thing in politics"
Before I get into your articles, it should be noted that you didn't explain my data (expressed in graphs). Even if culture is difficult to collect data for, that doesn't disprove the fact that I have data which shows that race is paramount. To be quite honest, in light of your potentially correct argument, I'd rather take my argument which does already have the data to support it.

It's difficult to empirically demonstrate the paramount importance of culture because there's no way to explicitly define and categorize cultural groups.
That's because it's part of a genetic mesh. Separating culture and race into non-contextualised vacuums causes conceptions of them to be limited. Albeit, I'd argue that genes (and thereby partially race) creates culture. In other words, Islam is partially a representation of Arab genetics.


(1) The data is behind a paywall, so I can't access it to assess the methodology.

(2) I'm going to directly quote the article, of which details an explanation of their conclusion, "One reason, the researchers find, is that who you support politically is your choice while factors like your race and ethnicity are assigned at birth. Therefore, because support for a political party is a deliberate decision for an individual, it’s viewed as a choice that more accurately reflects who that person truly is.

Unfortunately, this isn't entirely correct because your genes dictate part of your political affiliation. Given the validity of twin studies (i.e. that twins have 50% genetic similarity, and identical twins have 100% genetic similarity), it has been calculated throughout plenty of studies on this topic that political views are, on average, 0.4 heritable (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4038932/). Thus, political affiliation isn't wholly a "choice," in that you don't choose your genes.

It should also be noted that there is quite a lot of nuance on this conception. Age is most definitely a modifier of gene expression, in that political affiliation becomes more dependent on heritability as one ages (0.57 by age 50) (https://www.procon.org/sourcefiles/genetic-and-environmental-transmission-of-political-attitudes-over-a-life-time.pdf).  

Finally, heritability of political views changes based on the issue. This was found in this Swedish study (https://www.pol.gu.se/digitalAssets/1317/1317434_political-orientations-100927.pdf). For example, Left-versus-Right self-placement had a low 0.154 heritability, whilst immigration opinions had a much stronger 0.604 heritability.

As you can see, political opinions are certainly not wholly a "choice" (implying that the environment affects all of it), and it's not wholly a reflection of who the person "truly is" (as it is partially environmental, especially for younger people on certain issues).

(3) This comes from the next "reason why" point they make, "Another reason is that – unlike race, religion and gender, where social norms dictate behavior". Social norms only partially dictate behaviour. A serious problem with these conclusions is that they are treating people as these rational actors devoid of evolutionary baggage.

For example the MAOA is found at roughly 9 times the rate in Blacks than Whites (in the U.S.). Considering Blacks are 9 times more likely than Whites to commit murder, there is strong reason to suspect correlation here (http://conservative-headlines.com/2012/06/does-maoa-gene-make-black-people-more-violent/).

Clearly, social norms are not dictating all of this behaviour.

Due to these evidently partially wrong statements these "researchers" made, I have reason to suspect that their research isn't robust. If their explanations of why culture trumps race have been at least partially neutered, it may well be that culture does not trump race, in regards to politics.

I'll address the other sources when I find some more spare time -- this is very time consuming (I'm used to idiots providing easily beaten arguments).

Evidence for RM's support of the terrorist Nelson Mandela: https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/1130?page=2&post_number=35

tl;dr version

(1) RM agrees that Nelson Mandela committed terrorist attacks

(2) RM considers Nelson Mandela to be respected and a hero

(3) RM considers Nelson Mandela's reign in power to be peaceful

If RM isn't another New Zealand shooter in the making, I'm not sure who is.

RM, your feelings about what I said are entirely irrelevant. You are a confirmed supporter of terrorism. Just like I know I couldn't have a conversation about child welfare with a paeodophile, there is no hope with you in regards to race relations. You need to be mocked, ridiculed, denounced and eschewed from all societies, be it this online one or one irl.

I HATE what Muslims are doing to my homeland. BUT I would never EVER even consider doing what the New Zealand shooter did. Nor would I ever consider doing what Nelson Mandela did to White South Africans.

You are not worth substantive discussion. You are hideous beyond repair. You are not welcome on this site.

We want you to leave.

All true. Here in the Uk there have been "record numbers" of Muslim MP voted in around the country. This of course is because muslims simply want to be represented by 'one of their own'. This is something prosser will refuse recognise even with the figures shoved up his snooty jumped up self righteous snoz.
He can't recognise it because he's got this basic idea that tribalism is unintelligent and can disappear if we just stop engaging in it. If I'm honest, it's unintelligent, when viewed through the lens of conscious mind. But when you consider it was evolutionary ingrained into us - that it's a strong feeling, like being a bit hungry or seeing a sexually attractive mate - it becomes unintelligent not to treat humans as these quasi-intellectual beings who engage in tribalism, rather than purely rational beings.

But yeah, I feel for you, Stephen. The U.K. is quickly becoming swamped with Muslim immigration and anti-White/anti-U.K. sentiments. I'm sorry this is happening to your country. Just know that the people, who can actually see what are going, on are with you.

God save the Queen.

Is this sarcastic?
No. If the media, Western people and culture weren't so thoroughly dismissive of White issues (as a whole), I would have liked him to go about his protest in a peaceful way. Clearly, he didn't have the options to do that. I don't want people to die over White people being completely disenfranchised, but the deplatforming, dehumanising, slandering etc. against Whites leaves them in a very tight corner. As much as I don't want Muslims or their religion in my country, I don't want them to be killed.

@keithprosser
Much the same as protestants and catholics throughut European history, I expect.

People divide themselves into factions - it is one of our species' less endearing qualities.   If we don't don't fight over the name if our gods we fight over 'nation', or the football team we support.  You give me the impression you think tribalism - by whatever name - is something to be proud of.  I don't.  I think it's dumb. 
You know what's dumber?-: not engaging in tribalism. Whilst you're yacking away here with your big-brained individualism, all kinds of tribal groups are voting in and supporting people of their own group. They're getting Hispanics into power over in California. They're getting Blacks into power over in South Africa. They're getting Muslims into power in Lakemba, NSW (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Lakemba). Say what you want about how "dumb" it is (nice, qualitative, clear language there, buddy), but it WORKS in politics. What you espouse DOESN'T work.

It's dumb because, well, for one thing colour or nation would seem to put us on he same side, yet we have absolutely nothing in common! Where's the logic that would say we have common interests just because we both sunburn easily?
Once again, anything you say on race is just wrong. Cluster analysis of SNPs and loci shows that they match virtually 100% with colloquial attributions of race. Heterozygosity is sufficient in humans to dictate the need for subspecies (i.e. race). Hence, we have our genes in common, not "nothing" (https://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/04/15/329/).

I'm not on your side, but that doesn't put me on the other side.  I am your enemy because I think you are a hater,  i don't like haters which ever side they claim to love or hate.   You are not all that different from a Jihadist, and I am not not all that differnt from 99% of muslims.
You are his enemy because he is a "hater?" That has to be one of the most illogical qualifications I've ever seen. I hate paedophiles. I hate terrorists. I hate rapists. That would qualify me as your "enemy" because I'm a hater.

You are doing this site no service by making these dreadful comments on racial or religious conflict. Go back to writing those pointless and mildly witty one-liners -- you would do far less harm to everyone in doing so.

RM, you have glorified racial terrorism in the past, in that you said (in another thread) that Nelson Mandala was a hero AND you agreed that he committed terrorist attacks against White people. Why would anyone think you have sane views on race? You don't belong in this thread. You have nothing valuable to say. You should leave and get the mental help you badly need, because glorifying terrorism isn't normal or welcomed.

Go.

@SamStevens
Discussing race and the various differences we see in humans due to it is definitely a sensitive topic and one where it's very easy to take it to extremes, as we've seen in the past and currently(Nazi Germany, KKK, Neo-Nazis, etc). The differences that divide us do not warrant the sentiments that define these groups/movements of intolerance, slavery, and genocide. In my opinion, to make this topic much more approachable, one should look at dogs to make sense of what variance within a subspecies can look like. We all acknowledge that some breeds are smarter than others, that some have better and worse attributes, and that some are predisposed to health issues while others are not. Some are clearly superior and inferior to each other, depending on what you are using to compare them. 
Sure, it's a sensitive topic. No one likes to be told that your race is far capable than others.

Nazi Germany had an inaccurate model of race. They didn't consider the Slavs to be White. They had some mysticism about the Aryan race. Hitler wasn't even a White nationalist. As for the KKK, I don't know much about them. But as for Neo-Nazis, I wish they would stop buying the Progressive narrative and stop larping. I'd love to tell SJWs and Antifas that Nazis don't exist, but then these people decide it would be cool to be edgy like this.

People already accept the dog idea. It's not about understanding. It's about being in an emotional state that will be receptive to accepting the ideas. That why Black Conservatives overwhelmingly voted Democrat in 2012. They accept your ideas; they just don't feel like betraying their feelings.

With dogs such as pit bulls, it's completely fair to say that they are predisposed to aggression, courtesy of their genetic makeup and its effects on brain development, which can have negative outcomes. Couple that with the fact that many pit bulls come from less than ideal situations(dog fighting, abuse, etc), it's understandable that a lot of them will lash out, thus creating a negative stigma around them, which people use to issue bans on 
pitbulls and say that they should be euthanized. There are plenty of parallels to be made in recent human history when people obsess a little too much about what makes us different instead of trying to bridge differences. Proper training goes a long way in remedying a pit bull's issues, and the sentiments surrounding them would be improved if people were willing to invest the time and effort to raising the dog properly.
Idk some racial group's I.Qs are just too low to be treated like this. When the average I.Q. of your race is nearly 60, as is the case with Australian Aboriginies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsZ11VVdP_M&bpctr=1553383782), "training" them better isn't going to increase their I.Q. significantly, as I.Q. is roughly 80% heritable (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3y2SDpIEhE).

If we were to look at health issues, we could draw a comparison to our situation where we have Neanderthal DNA(and the health implications it entails) to what dogs inherit due to their breed. German Shepherds are inclined to experience hip problems due to their lineage just as some of us are inclined to experience allergies due to inheriting Neanderthal DNA.
This analogy is sound.

While brain size may differ and may be a manifestation of race/differences between us(I would like something other than 'alternative hypothesis' as a source), I believe that is generally a poor indicator of a race's intelligence. A chihuahua has the highest brain to body ratio of any dog, yet there are many breeds that outshine it when it comes to trainability, learning commands, etc. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/pets/g4748/top-smartest-dog-breeds/ 
The Alternative Hypothesis isn't just a source. It's a collection of sources. Sometimes it creates the data itself, but all the cited works are readily accessible on the website. Besides, I don't know why you'd want to see a different source if you thought The Alternative Hypothesis' data and sources were correct.

Richard Lynn (2015) found that 30% of the White-Black I.Q. gap could be accounted for by differing brain sizes (https://www.amazon.com/Race-Differences-Intelligence-Richard-Lynn/dp/159368052X/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8). Whilst brain size doesn't dictate all intelligence, generally, a bigger brain means more intelligence.

If we were to look at human brain size directly, males generally have a larger brain to body ratio than females. Despite this, men have shown to have a lot more variance with their IQ, which means you'll have a lot more men deviating from the average in both directions. The result is that, sure, more men may have higher IQ's than women, but you'll also have a lot more men that are idiots despite having a larger brain on average. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/04/study-finds-some-significant-differences-brains-men-and-women
All uncontroversial, except in extremist Progressive camps.

Differences between us have inspired a lot of evil in our past. Some people literally make up silly metrics to divide us. It's understandable that a lot of people would not want to talk about us as inequals based on our race. However, it's important to acknowledge our differences and work to remedy them. In acknowledging them, it is also important not to take a wrong turn and demonize people or say that they have less of a right to live or that they are destined to live in poverty due to their race.
I agree with all of this, for the most part.

What other avenue would he have had if he was being censored? I didn't read the manifesto so i have no clue, actually pretty ignorant to this whole ordeal bc i simply don't care anymore. But you and Resurgent do have a point in pushing people underground is not a good idea. 
He could have made a petition or gone to a peaceful rally. Maybe he could have got on a talkshow and said that there are issues that White people are facing. 

I would argue... since i don't know him i'm going to speculate. If he wasn't someone, if he didn't have that narcissistic drive, etc... that's people that get into power mostly. The way he did it was the most brilliant way to get his message across. It's sad really... the world knows how to trigger our media and get attention. They are very predictable. And look, now they want to ban 'military style weapons.' Like that will save them or anyone for that matter... push a dog into the corner, it will bite... i've been saying that ever since the censoring began. 
From my limited understanding of New Zealand, they have some of the strictest gun control policies in the world. In fact, I'm pretty sure he chose New Zealand to make that point.

In the West they don't yes. They worked in a lot of other places pretty well, such as in the Middle East, or the Indian subcontinent. If each community is left with its own territory & laws & religion & customs, where is the harm? Of course there is a chance that tension may arise, but that happens regardless.
You're right. Palestine and Israel get along just fine. India and Pakistan are the best of buddies. Where is the harm?

I don't think you actually read the stuff, areas described as no-go zones by people who've never been there. Funny! The others are not in Europe.
All wrong, apart from the fact that some aren't in Europe.

I've read so much literature on this, it's cute. You might wanna read up more on this subject, probably from non-bias sources. There were indeed some good masters, but that wasn't the norm.
Ah so you engage in the authoritarian jam-down, too. Great.

You didn't make an argument here or refute anything I said. You're literally just appealing to authority (some imagined authority, mind you, because you're still too retarded to post sources to support your arguments) and hoping people won't notice. Pathetic.

If you know exactly nothing about history then yes. On the contrary Cassie, Whites were some of the most brutal & racist slavers history has ever seen. Slaves in the Islamic world & in Asia had far better conditions. But let me get this straight, you want Africans to thank you for being so kind to them for not enslaving them anymore...? Put yourself in their place & tell me with a straight face that this is a sensible thing to expect.

Whites, in general, were some of the kindest slave owners. Blacks grew taller than Whites, due to better nutrition. Black slaves worked about 400 less hours per year than the average free (White) farmer. In 2015, non-slaves were able to pick cotton at about 95% of the same rate the Black slaves did. Corporal punishment data is incredibly difficult to find, which is funny because you said that Whites were "brutal" -- provide evidence, please. I have the facts here. You only have your feelings hurt (https://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/04/15/slavery-in-the-united-states/).

Meanwhile, Arabs did nothing to end slavery.

Why are you turning on me now! What did I ever do to you... Jokes aside, it seems to me these problems are not White problems, but a White-fringe problems. Because the problems we been hearing from Whites these years, & still do, somehow always boil down to genitals.
Yeah, Whites not being allowed to form racial groups is "fringe". It only affects all of Whites (https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/915).

Indeed, regardless of narrative, it's still all western media.
Which is heavily influenced by the Jews (https://imgur.com/a/pZYfNMC).

Well, you see, it's quite the opposite. It's not even worth discussing. When were White people demonized as a whole??
It's quite the opposite? Racial hatred of White people isn't worth discussing? Is that why we have terms such as Whiteophobia, and not Islamophobia? Is that why SJWs, who reflect the current political norm pushed by media, attack people for being Muslims, and not White?

When were White people demonised as a whole? (https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/915). This is a list I compiled in a couple of hours -- it's by no means comprehensive. I'm sorry to break your racially hateful narrative of 'White people aggressors, Muslims victims'. I guess you'll have to come up with something more nuanced than 'the West bad'.

Indeed, one ends with bombing & invasions, the other ends in banning & censorship. Nuff said.
Yep. Muslims bomb the Twin Towers and underground stations. Criticising Muslims is banned throughout the world (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-12/europe-illegal-criticize-islam).

Nuff said.

No it isn't. There are immigrants all over the world. There are more Muslim immigrants in just the MINA region than in all of Europe. 10 of the top 20 net migration countries are Muslim countries, as opposed to just 6 Western countries [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_net_migration_rate#World_Bank_]. In the Gulf states, immigrants make up up to 90% the population. I live in Turkey now, immigrants make up 1/10th the population. Invasion is invasion, immigration is not invasion. That's sensationalism.
Droves of Muslims don't belong in Europe. They don't integrate, breed more than the natives and then push for Sharia -- this is covert invasion. Your slanderous terms mean nothing.

On the contrary, I understand more than you think. I understand what it is like to feel disenfranchised & humiliated & helpless, & witnessing Muslims perpetrating terrorist attacks letting their rage out. Something must've driven them to such extremes that they could not contain themselves. I'm not deflecting anything, but you are dismissing the grievances of others in the favor of yours ...
You constantly deflect onto the plight of Muslims, whenever I bring up the problems of White people. Add to that the fact that you don't think White people are demonised, and that racial hatred against Whites "isn't worth discussing", and these words of solidarity become obviously fake.

Yes, angry men are not real men. Real men are big humans, with big minds, & big hearts. The world is greater than any of us, & the universe is much greater, & God is infinitely greater. That Muslim terrorist who murdered a bunch of people crying "this is for Syrians" is a baby too. You are too caught up in this Whiteness, it's understandably confusing you. I'm saying this because I know you are a reasonable & mindful person. Let me ask you, how would you (or your compatriots) feel if your country was invaded (in the real sense) & your wealth plundered (in the real sense) & your fellow countrymen killed while others displaced...? How would you feel if your people were enslaved for centuries & persecuted & oppressed & denigrated...? You get my point. If you feel like your people have been unjustly treated, others may feel just the same way. If you have grievances, others may have as well. If you've been made into a leader of your people, would you turn to justice or vengeance? Justice.
"Too caught up in this Whiteness" lol. Being racially impartial is what got Whites into trouble in the first place. When Whites engaged in real politics (i.e. mostly racial), they got what they wanted: White spaces, more land and big empires. In fact, I might not be being caught up in Whiteness enough...

I'm not sure what you're referring to by the latter part of your comment, or even what your point is.

Ethnonationalism is dumb.
You mean the top two ways in which people derive identity (ethnicity and nationalism) are "dumb?" (whatever that means) (https://imgur.com/a/MWT4uRo).

Cultural differences are infinitely more relevant than racial/ethnic differences.
Race is by far the most important thing in politics (see link above). I could go into more detail, on how like Blacks voted for Obama despite being Republican, too. This isn't even to mention how racial distinctions (found in genes) affect culture, too -- culture doesn't create people. I'm sorry, but this is easily the worst comment I've ever seen you make on a debate website.

I never said that. I have a much higher IQ than 135, & it tangibly shows. This does not mean an 81-IQ is incapacitating. According to you, 40% (or 50%) of Black Americans -& by extension 15% of White Americans- are intellectually impotent ; considering their population, this means there are many more such White individuals than Black individuals. Do you still believe that?
Any proof of your I.Q. being higher than 135? Mensa acceptance? Or are you going to rely on the nebulous "it tangibly shows?"

I never claimed it was "incapacitating." I claimed that it was too low to be in the military, which is factual. Nice try in twisting my words, though. I guess I'm near enough your unassailable "much higher IQ than 135" intelligence to pick up on your tricks.

I'm not sure "intellectually impotent" is an accurate descriptor. But sure, because there are more Whites than Blacks in the U.S, it's possible that there are literally more 81 I.Q. Whites than Blacks (I haven't crunched the numbers to be sure, wholly because it doesn't matter).

Then over half White Americans back then (& 1 in 6 Whites today) were (are) below borderline intellectual functioning.
This doesn't detract from my point, and it would be nice if you actually started providing data (or at least links that work). But sure.

In-group loyalty isn't exclusive to racial identity, it may also extend to religious, ethnic, sectarian, class, national, sexual or political...identity. If you care about your racial identity, it doesn't mean everybody among your race does.
Race is primacy in politics. You are literally arguing against facts (https://imgur.com/a/MWT4uRo). Exceptions prove the rule.

You have it backwards, Miss Cassie. It seems to me you lost a bunch of IQ points just by exposing yourself to so much of this narrative. Where is the vivacious Zarroette? What do you seek to accomplish now? Black Americans are back to Africa & Hispanic Americans are back to Latin America, then what?
I want a White ethnostate that doesn't persecute Whites for being White (unlike Australia).

Every container exudes what it contains. White people are human beings, all human beings are dignified unless otherwise denigrate themselves.
Your insult missed the mark because it doesn't comment on reality. Case closed.

Miss Cassie, attacking me does not make the solution any less false. You don't have to insult me when the truth does not suit you, especially since I did not even bother to dispute the results -but the method. It is known that the average net-wealth of a White household is ten times that of a Black household, & that the US was running a $500B deficit in 2014, which amounts to about -$1.6K per capita. Without any further calculation, it is simply expected that such deficit be reflected on the fiscal impact, more so in some groups (Blacks) than others (Whites) -& even more so in lower classes vs. upper classes. [+ the next paragraph response you write]
Mathemagics is not the truth. Nobody wants to see you twist a simple calculation into quantum physics maths, outside of comedic purposes. You can't dispute the results because they're correct lol. Whites, as a whole, are a positive impact on the U.S. economy. You can divide it into lower classes versus upper classes, but nobody important cares because sane people aren't Communists, and race is primacy in regards to politics. People would rather import a whole bunch of people their own race, than another, and the literal cost is just one of the reasons why.

I mentioned no such thing. Spending =/= wasting. The US is not just rich enough to afford lower tax rates, it also enjoys being the owner of USD, the reserve currency of the world, which allows it to run a +trillion $ deficit without breaking a sweat, an impossible feat for any other country, In fact, the US is one of the few countries in the world without VAT (value added tax).
You haven't provided any numbers to show that the US is rich enough to "spend" money like this.

Also, can you please tell me why the U.S. needs should "spend" money importing people who drain the U.S. economy?

Not struggling, just not as rich & don't own USD. The only countries in Europe with a barely higher GDP/capita are Norway, Ireland & Switzerland. The average GDP/capita in the EU is $38K, which makes the US's GDP/capita 65% higher...
You literally said "struggling", and now you're arguing against your own statement hahahaha

"Much higher than 135 I.Q."

Not necessarily. The US spends per capita on healthcare alone twice as much as the most advanced European economies -like France or the UK or Germany. The US's per capita expenditure is higher than France's, despite total expenditure making up only 30% US GDP as opposed to almost half France's GDP.
It's wonderful how "most advanced" is a clearly defined term that doesn't narrow Europe down to three countries that fit your narrative, rather than give a true average of Europe. Amazing.

It also makes you think how Germany has roughly the same numbers of Muslims yet boosts the highest surplus in the world... But you did not just reference a Youtube video to prove a point???  -_-  -_-  -_- 
Firstly, I'm talking about Africans AND Muslims, rather than just Muslims. So, your comparison is already flawed from the get-go.

Secondly, you didn't provided any rebuttal to the Youtube video, other than laughing at the fact it's a Youtube video. The Youtube video actually is heavily cited work (you are allowed to cite the things you say, fyi). But your ad hom is obviously more convincing than cited work, so well done on the debunking.

What argument?
The fact that you ask this question proves that you don't have more than 135 I.Q.

Assuming it is indeed 85 (I've seen lower estimates & higher up to 91), it is still more than the average White American IQ decades ago (80), thanks to the Flynn effect. Plus, there is plenty Black neurologist if that's what you're worried about, & Asian neurologists are wildly overrepresented. Then what? Is less than an outstanding number of neurologists perilous to society? 
Firstly, the Black-White I.Q. gap has mountains of evidence (http://humanvarieties.org/2013/01/15/100-years-of-testing-negro-intelligence/). The times you might have seen higher or lower estimates is when they test the I.Q. of children. Genetic expression doesn't reach maturity until around the age of 24, and so the environment can greater impact the I.Qs of children than it can adults (aged 24 and up).

Secondly, the Flynn Effect is applied to both Blacks AND Whites. In other words, as the Black I.Q. has gone up, so has the White I.Q. All the Flynn Effect shows is that environment can have an impact on I.Q, which I agree with (I.Q. is approximately 80% genetic imo).

Thirdly, even if there were plenty of Black neurologists (citation needed), are they all qualified? It is a well known fact that affirmative action is essentially granting Blacks access to universities they are not qualified for (https://imgur.com/a/sKOntfC). It's not just neurology positions that require filling. Can you show that we'd be okay without White or Asian neurologists?

I've seen studies regarding regressive trends in White population IQ in some European countries the past 2 decades (reverse Flynn effect). But you know the gap White-Black & White-Hispanic has been shrinking for a while, & according to some studies is projected to shrink even more [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4603674/]. 
It's funny because I knew why the data wasn't accurate before I even read the article. Of course, it took me about 10 seconds to find that this research was done on 17 year olds. Again, genetic expression doesn't reach maturity until the age of 24. So, you're comparing data about 17 year old, who are more affect by environment, with data regarding people ages 24 and up -- not congruent.

The same way the White & Asian population aren't, indeed. Point?
You were making a point, dimwit xD

In today's America, indeed. This wasn't always the case in the West. Class is much more meaningful though. But then what?
I enjoy how you have no data or proof of your assertions here. It looks really good against the data I provided. Perhaps it's time to do what Keith does and post anecdotes to counter-act data with large sample-sizes, so that we can readily affirm you as not knowing what you're talking about.

In the mean time, sane people are going to side with my data, over your bare assertions.

The same way Blacks & Hispanics serve the US's economy. Blacks have a higher income on average than people in New Zealand, Spain, Italy, South Korea... & in most European countries...
What are you doing lol. Blacks and Hispanics have a net drain on the US economy. Comparing their income to New Zealand, which has a totally different set of variables (i.e. cost of living, market demand etc.), without addressing those variables, is laughable. This isn't even to mention the fact that you're freely using the word "economy" now, after berating me for using it without explanation as to why I'm allowed to use it.

This is comedy.

I heard this claim many times before, never any proof yet, it isn't quite IQ is it! First, even assuming everything there is true, the AFQT 10th-percentile relates to those enlisted in the first place, who are generally not among the best & brightest, for these tend to look for better prospects than the military. Second, Blacks are overrepresented in the armed forces, especially in the army, as opposed to Whites (there are almost as many female Black soldiers as White soldiers in the army). Assuming this reflects the corresponding distribution, 85 (or 91) average IQ, a 10th-percentile with 15 SD will fall to an IQ of 65 (72).
It functions as an I.Q. test lol. Does it have to say 'this is an I.Q. test' for you to believe it is one? XD

Your first point isn't supported by any data. You're just guessing. You've provided nothing to say that low I.Q. people are more likely to join the army than high I.Q. people.

Your second point relies on your first point, and since your first point is just a guess, we can't agree with its conclusions. Also, you say that there are as many female Black soldiers as White soldiers in the army, and of course, again, there is no citation. Please stop wasting everyone's time by pretending your guesses are axiomatic.

Someone like you who almost swears by IQ should know more about this. No, it's not surprising since Westerns have been gaining IQ points (3-5 per decade) along the 20th century as they've been gaining height. The map doesn't really say much of anything. Comparative IQ is only meaningful on ceteris paribus basis & on variation basis, accounting for all factors & variables.
Lol are you attempting to insult me for believing in I.Q? Haha

Anyway, lets take your (uncited claim) that Western I.Qs have been increasing throughout the 20th Century by 3-5 points. Maximally, 1919-2019 = 10 decades. 5x10=50. 3x10=30. So, WW1 Germans, according to your (uncited) opinion, had roughly an average of 49-69 I.Q. In other words, they were functionally retarded. Since White I.Q. in the U.S is comparable to German I.Q, African 1919 I.Q. (using your beloved Flynn Effect) would have been from 34-53 I.Q. This means that the average African's intelligence could have been classified as "severe mental retardation", and at best "moderate retardation" (http://www.assessmentpsychology.com/iqclassifications.htm).

Perhaps before drawing wild conclusions such as 'Germans had 60 I.Q.', it's best to apply your advocated "ceteris paribus" to your own arguments.

The impossibility of racial equality
An intellectual miasma exists within public discussion of racial equality. Most people readily accept differences between individuals. Most will even accept that genetics plays some kind of part in said individual differences, but all differences suddenly become environmentally causes when cognitive abilities in racial groups are judged. Not only is this wrong, but these people essentially have blind faith in what appear to be miracles.

1. Prima facie necessity

Different groups would have had different environments to contend with. For example, some places may have had malaria prominent, and so developed immunity to it became necessary. Some animals may have needed group coordination to kill, and hence social ability was now selected for. Harsh Winters required pre-planning and delayed gratification (saving food), and so those who had the ability to develop these traits were selected for. Clearly, prima facie, there is need for certain cognitive abilities.

Also add culture to the mix, and evolution speeds up by a factor of 100. Moreover, in the last 5,000 years, the advent of civilisation started selecting for people who were capable of being civilised (in various ways) (https://www.pnas.org/content/104/52/20753.abstract). For example, England's "war on murder", a time in English history wherein criminals, of all kinds, were sentenced to death for their crimes, had a significant eugenic effect on criminality (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/147470491501300114). If all races were equally criminal, then England selectively killing off criminals would mean that those countries not doing that would have more people with criminal tendencies.

But we also have physical differences which demonstrates that differences do exist...

2. Physical differences

We have more than a century worth of research which shows that the races differ in brain size. Sean Last (2016) created a comprehensive article detailing these differences and why they exist (hint: it's partially genetic). In short, the arguments for their existence, and the fact that they are at least partially genetic, is as follows: "the differences are present at birth, around the world, the Black/White brain size gap is not smaller today than it was 100 years ago, mixed race individuals have brain sizes in-between their parent’s races, and, finally, traits that typically co-evolve with brain size differ racially in a way that mirrors brain size differences." (https://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/04/15/brain-size-race-and-iq/).

It is also possible to predict someone's race by looking at the shape of their brain, because the human brain contains "rich ancestral information" (https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(15)00671-5).

In fact, it's the brain wherein the most pronounced genetic differences between races can be found. In other words, if we were looking genetic racial differences, it's best to start in the brain because that's where a lot of the difference is found https://bmcevolbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2148-11-16

The physical differences contradict the conception of cognitive racial equality.

3. Neanderthal admixture

Once humans left Africa, they met and bred with other species or subspecies of humans. These other humans had been evolving independently from us for a seriously long time, and they are universally accepted to have been different from us physically and mentally, as a result of evolution (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/phenomena/2013/03/13/from-neanderthal-skull-to-neanderthal-brain/). Some populations bred with these groups more than others (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259984758_Resurrecting_Surviving_Neandertal_Lineages_from_Modern_Human_Genomes). Africans didn't breed with them at all (https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2014/01/neanderthals-dna-legacy-linked-to-modern-ailments/). Hence, there is differing degrees of Neanderthal admixture in different races of people.

So, for example, mental traits such as nicotine addiction and depression were found to be related to Neaderthal DNA (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/feb/11/neanderthal-dna-may-account-for-nicotine-addiction-and-depression). 

So, how is it possible for the races to be cognitively equal, when their levels of Neaderthal DNA differ, and Neanderthal DNA is known to result in different mental traits?

I didn't attempt to answer every point.   I answered the single point that i quoted.
So you intentionally ignored good points.

Great.

My mind doesn't work on the same lines yours does.  You seem to think in terms of groups and tribes but i think each of us is an individual.  I am happy to be judged on my merits and faults - I don't want to be judged on the average of which ever group you want to place me in.
No, PEOPLE think in terms of groups and tribes; you're the aberration. You WILL be judged by what your race achieves, regardless of whether you want it or believe the world should operate this way. Africans, Whites, Hispanics and Asians all, primarily, think of themselves in terms of race -- you are outnumbered (https://imgur.com/a/MWT4uRo).

Furthermore, when you choose to disengage from politics and think as yourself as an individual, not only is it logically inconsistent (i.e. if Billy wants to murder Mandy, whose individualism takes precedence?), but it'll destroy your chance of winning politics (other people will group up and defeat you with votes).

It's like having two armies: one doesn't consider itself to be an army, but rather a group of individualists and philosophers. They discuss whether they should refer to themselves as an army, because not every facet about them is the same. They deconstruct the conception of tribes and groups.Meanwhile, the other army knows that it's us versus them, and they are blowing the individuals into the afterlife.

Being the same colour as Einstein doesn't make you super-smart!
No one is arguing against this -- this is a strawman. No one is conflating individualism with individuality.

@thett3
I don't have all the answers, but when you find yourself in a hole the first step is to stop digging. Right now the US government is hellbent on spreading diversity to white areas. Just stopping that would go a long way, and so would policies that keep people from moving around so much. We should encourage people of all races to set down roots and create multi generational communities. I don't have the time to go into it right now but the neoliberal project and therefore the US government is the exact opposite of this
How do you stop the diversity spreading? White people are so disenfranchised that they cannot speak out against this. I made a post about this to Skep not too long ago: (https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/1499?page=1&post_number=18).

In short, Whites are quickly running out of peaceful methods of opposition. I'll never commit one of these terrorist attacks, but plenty of other Whites are being pushed beyond their breaking point. You're right in writing that the spreading of diversity needs to stop, but seriously, how would that occur?

Yeah well millennials have had their minds totally addled by mass media and the internet. There really isn't much hope for that generation. But I don't disagree with what you say here...the last statistic about many minorities not considering themselves American's is especially depressing. The establishment GOP says we are a proposition nation but they also don't care if immigrants agree with those propositions. Immigration really needs to slow down and it would've been great if Trump had been able to trade DACA for cuts in legal immigration like he wanted to, but our real rulers, the courts, said no. 

Yang sucks on immigration but immigration policy is set in stone for the foreseeable future. Which is sad bc even from a pro immigrant perspective our policies are stupid
Idk if those policies are set. Revolutions can happen in the blink of an eye. I'm not sure how many Whites need to be thoroughly disgruntled before they finally do something, but if, as you said, the Progressive narrative is breaking, then plenty of Whites are going to become VERY upset with their country quickly. It only took me about 2-3 years to go from relative indifference about the racial demographics of my country, to quite upset by them.

I fully agree, but I think the point you're missing is that there are different degrees of conflict. Any multi ethnic country is going to have conflict, but you don't have to go out of your way to make it worse, which is what the federal government has been doing for decades. Yang is going out of his way to make it better.

And we can still be superficially unified by a civic identity. It will never be as strong as a "blood and soil" nation with roots as a people and culture stretching back millennia but it doesn't have to be a low key war zone either  
I think racial conflict is always going to devolve into something bad; I don't believe small degrees of conflicts last. It's nice that Yang is trying to make it better, but it's not something that can ever be good. It's always going to be a ticking time-bomb. The racial and cultural majority needs to be established and maintained. If Whites won't do that, then other groups will.

@thett3
Yeah, it really is insane. I'm hoping that it collapses under the weight of its own insanity and I think it's inevitable that it will but how long it can last remains to be seen. 
It should eventually collapse, if not under its own weight, the under the biological drives to in-group racial bias. I think I already showed you the Millennial personal identifier graph, but despite all the brainwashing, White Milennials still put race/ethnicity as the most important personal identifier (if only be a relatively slim margin) (https://imgur.com/a/MWT4uRo).

But yeah the narrative is so thoroughly wrong that it's quite incredible that it has lasted this long.

However one minor nitpick about liberal votes going against their interests...they really aren't. Their out-group isn't black people or hispanics, its BadWhites. It's been obvious for years now that when progressives talk about how much they hate white people they aren't talking about themselves.
I mean okay, currently, BadWhites are the outgroup. However, I think that if you dissolved the Progressive narrative, most of those BadWhites would revert to White Nationalists (assuming that the U.S. would still be majority White). Personally, I think White Nationalism is the default for most Whites, due to the primacy of race in politics, albeit this is a bit debatable.

I used to be one of those BadWhites. I was raised with all the brainwashing. I believed the 'everyone is equal' lies. You might have, at one stage, been one of those BadWhites, too. Yet I've become a pretty ardent White Nationalist. Some Whites might be genetically incapable of becoming a White Nationalist, but given the right environment, I think most Whites will revert to default White Nationalism.

If you count hispanic people as white it is. If you don't it's only 60% white and dropping rapidly. Non hispanic whites are already a minority among children under 5. Now some hispanics actually are white but the trend is clear...if you're worried about the USA becoming minority majority, too bad and too late. The question now is how do we manage this with as little conflict as possible.
Ah yes. Sorry, I forget the U.S. treats Hispanics as Whites, in regards to Census data -.-

Idk if this can be managed with "as little conflict as possible". I think that's what got Whites into this mess in the first place. I'm not saying that we need Christchurch 2.0, but Whites need to start embracing political conflict -- if we get our people in power, we need them to give Whites stuff at the expense of other races. This is precisely what other races do, and it works very well.

I think when you decentralize things and devolve power from the federal government to as local a level as possible this basically happens without having to make it explicit. Of course we have an extremely long road to go down before we get there. I like Yang because what he's essentially doing is punching a giant hole through the democratic narrative by eschewing identity politics. If we can break the grip the insane racial narrative has on the left (who, lets be honest, control every important institution hands down) than we can actually start talking about the issues facing America and figure out a way to make this multi racial society work. And it can work...if by work you mean "is a functional economy that doesn't end in bloodshed."
Eschewing identity politics? I think I've already said this, but it's worth saying again: identity politics is politics. You're not going to get most people to think in terms of objectivity. They're going to vote their in-groups in power, sometimes even if they vehemently disagree with what their in-group believes. So, in fact, Whites are doing themselves a disservice by eschewing identity politics, because all the other racial groups are engaged in it AND it's effective.

I don't want just a functional economy. I want my in-groups to be catered to by the government. Wanting anything else puts you at a disadvantage.

Logically, if you're worried about IQ you should discrimate on the basis of a person's IQ not the average of their ethnic group.  You should dump anyone with low iq and keep anyone with high iq, regardless of their tribe.
You couldn't go a word without making a mistake. Humans aren't logical, in this regard. These in-group bias feelings evolved; they're not conscious thoughts. 

You don't understand politics.

Of course that might mean you lose out to
Nice anecdote. It's very convincing against sample sizes thousands of times bigger.

@Yassine
This may have been true before the 60s, I can't find any source for this at all. & I very much doubt such claim... I read somewhere the average IQ of soldiers in Germany was around the 60. Regardless, if you know anything about IQ, you should know the average IQ of White people in the 1950s was 80 as well.
You didn't look very hard: (https://www.quora.com/Does-the-U-S-military-have-a-minimum-IQ-requirement-for-entry) explains this (https://www.usa.gov/join-military). I found these within 2 minutes.

If your claim about White people in the 1950s is true (citation needed), then fine. The average White person couldn't perform the tasks required by the modern military in the U.S. as for the German I.Q, again, citation needed, but you're really far away from the modern I.Q. of 99 (https://www.targetmap.com/viewer.aspx?reportId=2812). In fact, it's so far away that I'm inclined not to believe that book.

Do you honestly believe that..? Do you honestly believe 40% to 50% of Blacks are so incapable?
The real question is how can you not believe this? Do you really think there is no functional difference between 81 and 135 I.Q? Are you aware that 71-84 I.Q. is classified as "Borderline Intellectual Functioning?" (http://www.assessmentpsychology.com/iqclassifications.htm).

The fact is that it already is the majority, an advantage no minority has. & yes, you can not expect Whites to aline their interests with yours. Your interests are not necessarily the interests of all Whites, & I reckon of most Whites. 
LOL you're applying individualist thinking to IN-GROUP POLITICS xD

'Hey, why are all these Black Conservatives voting for Obama? Don't they know that their political alignment isn't in sinc with the Democrats? They're not ****WARNING:racist:WARNING**** are they?'

@Yassine
It's not an insult. Or do you want me to call White people 'trash' or some denigrating word? No.
It doesn't matter if you call us trash, because it isn't grounded in reality. My analogy was accurate; its insulting nature was incidental.

No, I actually have a bachelor in mathematics. A solution like that will get you an F in maths. I can elaborate if you wish, though I already mentioned the core issue, that is an irregular function was substituted by a step function.
Buddy, it's an average net deficit for racial groups. No one is impressed by you sledgehammering your bachelor degree maths into something so simple. Go and wank yourself off with your maths elsewhere.

Why don't you explain to me how is this related to the economy? You have the floor. To reiterate what I said ... [restating your original argument] ...  My point here is that the US is so rich to the point where it can afford to spare the non-millionaires from paying the full budget to fulfill their government expenditure, that would otherwise result in higher taxes, as is the case in most European countries, which all have much higher tax rates than the US.
You really are just wasting my time. You even use the term "economic" in the next paragraph, explaining that all of this is simple "economics 101" (I hope the irony isn't lost on people), and yet you're still harassing me over its usage here. Screw your head on before you waste my time with this stupid, worthless objection that even you implicitly don't agree with.

Your middle argument is dreadful. Even if the U.S. is rich enough to afford wasting money (a very debatable point), why the hell would you want to waste it anyway? Another stupid argument, and that's assuming your point that the U.S. is rich enough to have this be sustainable.

Your last argument is inductive and not necessarily true, in that you assume European countries have higher taxes because the economies are struggling. Did you ever consider it's because they provide more public services? Perhaps it's due to their genetic, political persuasions? There are so many damn variables, dude. You don't know and you are just guessing -- please stop that.

Pretty sure that's not all they do. Why is this hard to understand, economics 101. 
-_-

Look at it this way, if there were only Blacks in America, you'd end up with a situation similar to Spain, with roughly the same economy the same income & the same population
Um did you ever consider the fact that the average African American I.Q. is 85, in that there literally won't be enough 130 I.Q. African Americans to do harder jobs (neurology, brain surgery, particle physicist etc.)? Not to mention that the White genetic admixture would fade over time, and hence African I.Q. would regress towards a lower mean.

These populations are not equivalent.

So you just need to raise taxes at rates similar to those in France & there shall be no deficit, or as you call it "drain" "loss" "pests'
It's funny because France's budget deficit is almost identical to that of the African (and Muslim) net loss in France (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5Q_bWBRrZo&t=410s). Not saying that France's budget deficit is purely because of Africans and/or Muslims, but it makes you think...

The link doesn't work, but I think my argument is strong enough anyway, and you're almost certainly telling the truth.

All this is meaningless. You wanna look at this from a racial perspective, which is pointless. [mathematics about class]  This is just as ridiculous.
Race is the primary way in which people construct self-identity. It's also the most important thing in terms of voting (https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/1448?page=5&post_number=110). Most people care far more about race than class.

The same way the Spanish & the Germans are an economic drain on their economies? 
They're a drain on their economies which serves themselves? Okay xD

Why? If this were true, we would have heard of White civilizations since ancient times, but we never heard of ancient France or ancient Germany... such as the Songhai Empire & the Mali Empire.

We are talking about human beings Miss Cassie, not locusts. It's dangerous to be caught in the game of statistics & forget there is an actual person behind each number. What about the big picture thought?
Do you know what an analogy is?

I'm aware of this little calculation -a mathematically flawed one (substituting an irregular function with a step function). But I'm not here to dispute that, for lack of data otherwise. Assuming these estimates are adequate (which they probably are), they relate to *fiscal* balance by race, which has nothing to do with economy. If we omit the top 5% from the calculation {the top White 5% only is responsible for 1/3rd of all taxes...), Whites would then cost -$7K, Blacks -$13K, & Hispanics -$10K. No surprises there, the net wealth of the average White household is 10 times that of the average Black household. What do you expect..?!
I think the sole reason you mentioned the "mathematically flawed" point was to sound smart, not even because it's correct, and particularly since you didn't elaborate. But whatever.

I'm sorry, but having $800 Billion per annum of the U.S. budget drained by Hispanic and African residents, isn't the tiniest bit related to the economy? Am I meant to take you seriously as you attempt some irrelevant, little semantics game?

I expect you to not say that Hispanics and Africans are an economic boom on the U.S. economy, when clearly all they do is drain it.

Besides, where did you get your numbers from?

As you know, the average income of an African American is about $42K, which puts him at a higher income level than the average Italian or the average Kiwi, & on par with the average Korean. The average income of a Hispanic American is about $52K, which puts him at a similar level as the average German or Australian, at a much higher income than in most European countries or Canada or Japan
Assuming these numbers are correct (we don't know besides you don't cite anything), Hispanics and Africans become net losses when you consider the amount of taxes they pay, decent income or not (http://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/05/11/fiscal-impact-of-whites-blacks-and-hispanics/).

America is quite a rich country, just so we don't get lost in relative values. Shaving that 100 million from the total population would cost the US a *quarter* of its economy -roughly the economies of Italy & Spain & Australia combined (some of the richest countries in the world with +130 million people). Blacks may pay relatively less taxes that Whites for a lot of obvious reasons, but they are still huge consumers.
I'm not saying that remove those people within the hour LOL. What is wrong with you?

Africans don't only "pay relatively less taxes that Whites", they pay less taxes to the point of being an economic drain.

So, it's not really about the votes. IQ is relative... Whites have a lower IQ than Asians, they are doing fine ; decades ago they had lower IQ than current Blacks, they were still doing just fine. You don't have to be a genius to be a cashier or a garbageman... Should we get rid of all these 'lower' jobs then?
It is really about votes. It's also about other things.

African genetics are just too bad to make a civilisation work to the same degree as White genetics. I.Q. is merely a facet of it. It's not about being a genius. The U.S. military doesn't allow people in with less than 81 I.Q. (I'm quoting Jordan Peterson). We have levels of I.Q. that are considered functionally retarded. Due to having lower average I.Q, Africans are more likely to be in these I.Q. brackets, and hence be nigh useless to society.

A White with half a standard deviation below in I.Q. can enter the military. An African American with half a standard deviation below in I.Q. cannot enter the military.

They didn't *have* to conquer it, they did anyways. But indeed, they are the majority among other minorities. That's why you have democracy, so you can cater to the majority & stomp the minorities. You are but one individual, you can not expect the majority (White or otherwise) to agree with you. The House, the Senate & the Presidency often are in the hands of White conservatives. What more do you want?
I can't expect my majority racial in-group to have self-interest? Wow.

No love lost for the Saudis, but less so than the US, 60% vs. 75%. As are the majority of immigrants into the US Christian (some 75%). Brown is not a race... Wut...? They don't let you in if you don't cross a religious choice in your entry. Once you in, you can go on about your business. Saudi is the country of hypocrisies...
What's your point in breaking down every sentence I make, making these minor quibbles, and basically ignoring the main point at hand: Saudi is not diverse, especially when compared to Western countries? Can you please address that point?

No. It's time to stop saying that we can live together, if only we had the right set-up. It's time to put down the pipe and stop dreaming. Multiethnic states don't work. Multiculturalism divides countries and creates tension. It's time to leave the world of forms and deal with the reality.

"The following are areas that have been described as no-go areas in recent years, though in some cases the characterization has been disputed." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-go_area#Alleged_and_acknowledged_contemporary_no-go_areas).

It took me 20 seconds to debunk your garbage.

Assuming this is true, the other side would suggest Blacks were just as discriminated against a couple decades ago & prior. Maybe they need a little help to find their balance.
Lol are you serious? Blacks should be thanking their lucky stars that not only did U.S. Whites import them into America, but that U.S. Whites were the FIRST and ONLY group to start the end slavery. The African slaves in America would have been slaves anyway in the far worse conditions of Africa. African slaves not only learnt to read in America, DESPITE it being illegal (Africa wouldn't reach similar literacy rates until the 1950s), but their health and nutrition improved. They didn't get whipped around and beaten (except for a few exceptions), but rather worked LESS hours than White farmer counterparts (https://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/04/15/slavery-in-the-united-states/).

And what do Whites get as thanks for this? They get called racists and discriminatory, when it fact the Whites were the kindest to slaves in the recorded history of slavery.

They are still doing better than most, if not all.
Again, you just deflect and refuse to acknowledge that Whites have genuine problems.

What do you mean every avenue of peaceful opposition is denied?
You think Whites are able to speak out about problems that face White people? I already called you out in a different post wherein you started mocking Whites as "angry babies" for stating problems they face. YOU are part of the problem. YOU are preventing Whites from having peaceful opposition to issues White people face. The fact that you would ask this question is the embodiment of irony.

Good question, how do you suggest this takes place?
I don't have an answer to that question. Whites are quickly having only one thing as an answer, but I don't want that. I won't suggest anything because I don't have an answer, but other Whites will very quickly find an answer (and we both know what that is).

@Yassine
Doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Every time a Muslim terrorist does something, we feel it too... Censoring is better than invading & bombing still. ;-)
The media reacts, dare I say, radically different, dependent on the narrative their trying to push.

When a Muslim terrorised a Lindt cafe in my Sydney, he was labelled as an extremist and not representative of Muslims. When a White person terrorised a Mosque in New Zealand, he was labelled extreme right wing (he's not even right wing), Pewdiepie's subreddit got banned, further gun restriction is being promised, and White people were demonised as a whole.

We are not being treated the same.

It's not really that bad...!!! Kill or be killed??? If this is your calling, then you must understand the sensitivities of others once driven into even tighter corners. Other peoples have actually been invaded & bombed & displaced & humiliated on top of it all. Blacks have been persecuted & humiliated for a long time as well. If you dislike injustice done to your people, it feels just as bad to others too. Impulsiveness solves nothing, understanding is key. 
Your reaction is exactly why this won't be the last shooting. You deflect and tell White people to be more "understanding". You say that "other peoples have actually been invaded", as if what is happening to White communities isn't an invasion. You label White's reaction as "impulsiveness", when this terrorist attack has been a long time coming. You, and many others, don't take the problems of White people seriously, and this terrorist attack was directly a result of that.

Sadly, real men, strong, disciplined, devout, humane, virtuous, enlightened & sincere men are few in this age. Only angry babies playing grown-ups left. If Whites may rage, so may others. Then what?
Again, you're not taking the problems of White people seriously. Calling them "angry babies playing grown-ups" is backing Whites further into a tight corner. I hope this is ignorance on your behalf, but I'm not sure it's better if it's not.

@keithprosser
It seems one man's terrorist is indeed another man's freedom fighter.
Lol no you don't understand at all. This is why I've been pining against multiculturalism and multiethnic for so long. I KNOW violence ALWAYS ensues in these types of situations. Very few people want to get tangled in these nasty politics. Very few people actually enjoy bloody, prolonged wars. I'm not one of them.

All my post was saying is that when you drive Whites into the tightest of corners, when it's becoming kill or be killed, what can they do? Some are so disillusioned that they'll go out with a whimper. Others are so enraged they'll go out with thousands of bangs.

He could have made that point using a paintball gun.  He wanted to kill as many Muslims as possible.
You are wrong:

1) Paintballs hurt; they are not peaceful. That's why paintballers wear gear to protect themselves

2) His claim is that the media/politicians will lambaste and further restrict the right wing. Gun control is arguably the strictest in New Zealand, and yet New Zealand will push for further gun control. The ring wing is heavily censored in New Zealand (e.g. the Stefan Molyneux and Lauren Southern tour), but they'l be censored even more now. Yes, he wanted Muslims to die, but his claims could not have been tested had he elected a peaceful method of demonstration.

Friendship ended with Drumpf. Now: Andrew Yang is my best friend
Lol. Ghettos are made by the rich to keep the "filthy scum poor" together and away from sight. You don't know or understand a damn thing about poverty and who keeps the poor staying poor.
In social democracies like Canada, Western Europe l, Australia and such, there's no ghettos just poor areas that sure, still need to be properly introduced to social democracy to stop stabbings and gang culture but there's something true: the more isolationist and rich vs poor the nation is, the worse and more severely non-integrated their "ghetto dwellers" are to the rest of the nation.
Why is it that this website continuously provides me flog responses to my heavily sourced, multi-point comments?(https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/1448?page=5&post_number=102) You addressed ONE point I made, and even then you didn't source or explain your reasoning. SecularMerlin did exactly the same thing. Hell, you started talking about countries other than the U.S, and then made the point that ghettos don't apply to those other countries.

I'm tired of reading your admiration for Nelson Mandela's terrorist attacks. I'm tired of reading your degenerate wigger raps. I'm tired of you dropping so many points that I have to read your response several times to make sure it was directed at me. No wonder South African Whites are being culled and raped in droves -- they have people like you in their ranks.
