Dr. Jordan Peterson is a psychologist who has achieved fame (some would say “infamy”) for standing up to SJWs in a very robust manner. If you haven’t yet seen his interview with Cathy Newman of Channel 4 in the UK, it’s a must-see video. He presents facts that are unassailable. So, SJWs the world over are…
Are Some Liberals Against Identity Politics?
The short answer is “yes”. There are a few. Phoebe Maltz Bovy has written the book, THE PERILS OF “PRIVILEGE” Why Injustice Can’t Be Solved by Accusing Others of Advantage. Mark Lilla has written a book, The Once and Future Liberal, in which he takes issue with identity politics from a liberal perspective. However, by and large,…
Democrats’ Responsibility for Poor Quality Minority Schools
Inner city schools are often poor quality, and many minorities go to these schools. The overwhelming majority of white people in this country have nothing whatsoever to do with these problems. Almost all of these inner cities are managed by Democrats, and there is good reason to believe that this is a significant part of…
The Democratic Party’s History of Slavery, Jim Crow, and the KKK
Social Justice Warriors have a pattern of holding up past sins committed by the United States (and Europeans generally) as if these past sins define who we are today. Former president Obama once said, “… the legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination in almost every institution of our lives — you know, that casts a…
Is Diversity Our Strength?
How many times a week do we hear that diversity is our strength? Right now, there is a big push for institutions of every kind to be diverse. “Diversity Officer” is a hot new career path (although it is questionable whether they actually provide a useful service). Personally, I love being around people from many…
Does White Racism Cause Black Under-Achievement? Part 6
Now, you will find some SJWs who will insist that white racism is responsible for black under-achievement, despite the following facts (elaborated upon in Parts 1-5 and in The Guide): Blacks were paid 9% more than whites when cognitive skills were taken into account (in 1991) and racism has continued to decline since then White…
Does White Racism Cause Black Under-Achievement? Part 5
We have explored the fact that there is little evidence that white racism is much of a factor in black under-achievement. So why do SJWs apparently believe that white racism is holding back the progress of black people? According to Shelby Steele, author of White Guilt: How Blacks and Whites Together Destroyed the Promise of the…
Does White Racism Cause Black Under-Achievement? Part 4
In previous parts to this series, we have explored the fact that blacks, on average, have lower cognitive skills; that this is not caused by a difference in innate intelligence, but by environmental factors; and what the main environmental factors are. Now, let’s come back to the main, over-arching question of this series: Is there…
Does White Racism Cause Black Under-Achievement? Part 3
So, we have shown that blacks, on average, are significantly less qualified for jobs requiring cognitive skills. We have shown that the difference is caused by environmental factors. We have explored one very key environmental factor: the educational system which is failing black students. However, there is another environmental factor that deserves mention: black culture….
Does White Racism Cause Black Under-Achievement? Part 2
In Part 1, we showed that blacks are significantly under-performing academically, compared with whites. Next, the fearless inquirer will ask, is this disparity due to a genetic difference in innate intelligence, or is it due to environmental factors? It is highly politically incorrect to even ask this question. However, if we don’t address this question…
