Personally, I have been described as “otherworldly,”, “beyond highbrow,” “one of those totally out to lunch genius types,” and “off in my own world.” I have a very high IQ, and I’m told that a lot of high-IQ folks are like this. There doesn’t seem to be much I can do about it, but it does cause me problems.
Generally, topics are focused through a progressive yet heterodox lens.
Discusses race a lot – if it bugs you, don’t read.
I have been called a liberal race realist. Liberal race realism has been described as “a dash of race realism, positive white racial identity, the leftist view of American history, anti-racism, and a base of liberalism.”
I see myself as a pan-humanist universalist and a White ethnocentric anti-racist race realist, who strongly dislikes the PC, Cultural Marxist, Identity Politics, Western New Left.
I hearken back to an earlier Left that did not shy from cultural critique, particularly of backwards and reactionary cultures. I have major issues with standard Leftist internationalism, as it’s irrational and Utopian.
Although I am generally opposed to racism, I do hate Gypsies.
I also have an eclectic definition of what it means to be anti-racist. To me it means you should try not to treat others even slightly less well as others due to who their parents were.
I admit I am what is called a “ liberal racist.” I am also a “White man’s burden” racist, which is pretty much the same thing. I am also a “scientific racist,” but I just call that telling the truth. In addition, I am a “colorblind racist.” I’m comfortable with these political errors of thought.
I would like to clear up my views about race and intelligence. There are presently differences in average intelligence between the races. I am agnostic on whether or not these differences are due to genes, culture or something in the air.
So don’t accuse me of saying certain races are “biologically inferior.” I do argue that IQ tests are an accurate measure of intelligence in most cases.
On the Woman Question, I am an equity feminist in the Daphne Patai , Camille Paglia and Nadine Strossen mold – all’s fair in love and war. I participate in a lot of pro-woman campaigns, mostly around economic and abortion rights issues.
I also support sex-positive feminism, riot girrls, Third-Wave feminism (Naomi Wolf – qualified approval) and especially post-feminism. On the other hand, I am also a masculinist: I am a man, and I must be for myself. As a masculinist and a devoted libertine, I am opposed to gender feminism and radical feminism.
Notorious provocateur and iconoclast, smashes all party lines.
Presently channeling Andy Kaufman, Tony Clifton, Lenny Bruce, Ambrose Bierce, Mark Twain, H.L. Mencken, Kinky Friedman, Hunter S. Thompson and Wally Gator. Shoot first.
Like your site. I’m a US citizen an a UK citizen living in Spain on an olive farm. Share many of your views.
Don’t get mad when I say this, but the US has not exactly been popular during the Bush years. My family in the US says this means the rest of the world hates Americans – patently untrue, imho. The ‘rest of the world’ as I know it, likes/doesn’t like individual Americans that they meet – but really don’t like any country (incl the US) running roughshod over other countries. It’s too late for an empire.
My question is – do you see the US entering a more liberal era under Obama? People in Spain are very hopeful, as am I!
I didn’t like Bush’s imperialism, patriot-act and possible complicity in the 9-11/WTC attack, but he more or less the average citizen alone, unlike Obama who is an unbending Marxist who wants to micromanage our lives and not only secures our borders, which is his constitutional obligation, but he actually sues Arizona when AZ passed legislation to protect itself from the “invasion” from Mexico. He seems also to be purposely desroying our economy, private enterprise and seems to hate America himself. He may not have even been born in the U.S. and he’s the first and only president to have his college-records sealed. Obama is evil, a liar, an idealog, inexperienced and imcompetent. He’s arrogant, he disregards the constitution which he swore to follow and protect in his inaguration-oath and he seems not to give a shit what the majority of Americans think or want. He cannot talk impromptu, he always needs a teleprompter. He will surely go down as the very worst president in American history. He also is ignoring Judge Vincent’s who has ruled Obamacare unconstitutional, Obamacare is a shitty bill, don’t talk about wonderful socialized medicine, yes, it works in small homogenous countries with honest, transparent governments who do NOT have millions of illegal leaches sucking the system dry. Obama sucks, he is destroying our economy,

Ken
Ken, no advocating rightwing politics on the board, ok? It’s a violation of the comments rules and it can get you banned.
The most important thing is that you love Arabs and hate Jews especially Israelis. Thanks!
Allahu Akhbak!!!!
Viva Islamic revolution !!!!!!!!
Ahmad,
You’re a bonehead. He is “pro-Jewish” and says nothing about “loving” Arabs. Personally, I love everyone even if you’re “Nigerian inveterate criminal scum”. hee hee Heck, I even love your funky racist ass.
You fucking racist Arabs need to get your heads out of your ass and grow the fuck up.
Paz?
I don’t mind Arabs. I put that in there because I get accused of being an anti-Semite and an anti-Black racist. I do hate Gypsies though. And Nigerians, more or less.
Ahmad is a Jew who is pretending to be an Arab. He’s pretty notorious.
I can’t believe that you’ve actually admitted to hating gypsies. This for me immediately makes me want to switch off and take no interest whatsoever in your vocalizing and pontificating upon race. I’ve no doubt you have some neo-liberal justification for your hatred just as the Nazi’s did, but for me hate equals hate equals hate equals ignorance. No justification whatsoever. Just another opinionated onion-head! And I had high hopes I was going to read and learn something interesting when first being recommended to this blog.
Intellectuals (you obviously are deluded enough consider yourself one) parcel their prejudices up in subtle statements, but to boldly and openly state a hatred of an ethnic group which has been persecuted for centuries?! Racism is racism.
Well sadly it’s goodbye forever Mr. Lindsay. I shan’t be returning to this site. I’m not even interested in reading your justification for your hatred, because…..well it’s hatred.
He is the typical American, and you too. One is proud of saying he is racist (wow, you are so extreme), and the other takes the typical American acctitude when somebody says something against what he believes: I am angry and won’t breathe anymore! I don’t want to listen to you anymore! (like a child)…
You are so extreme, please travel a little bit and study a little bit… and please BE NORMAL. It’s so weird that you, Americans, have no common sense… really.
What a PC pussy!
Are you sure he isn’t joking? “Although I am generally opposed to racism, I do hate Gypsies” reads a lot like a joke to me, a bold and good joke, all the better for the fact it doesn’t advertise itself as one. Maybe I’m wrong and he really does hate gypsies. I know I do.
He he.
I’m pretty sure you’re misinterpreting *everything* I said. “If I am only for myself, what am I” came right after the bit you quoted.
~sigh~ to be a genius is indeed to be misunderstood. To be a racist douche who uses another genius’ words to justify it…is to still be a racist douche.
Peace out.
You’re banned. Bye Hillel.
After he was nice enough to come back after being dead for 2000 years? Geez, Robert.
I may have missed it, but how exactly is this a pro-Black blog?
I like US Blacks, African Americans. I can’t stand you Nigerian fucks, the most criminal race on Earth. Now fuck off back to your Naija shithole of a country.
This is a bit of a necro post but I couldn’t resist. You, sir, are one major racist redneck piece of American white trash. Banned? I hope so. Fuck you and your racism masquerading as a pseudo-intellectual liberal stance.
Granted.
Never mind. I just noticed the part about being “out to piss of everyone.” No longer interested. Have a good year.
Have a good year.
I am.
Now why don’t you Nigerian inveterate criminal scum get the fuck off my blog?
The first time I read this list, I went into a mild state of shock. Fortunately, I recovered.
Yep, that Ahmed guy is certainly not Arab. Cant even say ‘Allah akbar’ properly (Allahu Akhbak?). Even if he spelled it properly, Arabs dont usually say Allah akbar without proper context.
I like your blog very much. Very educative and informative stuff. Please keep up the good work.
Thanks,
YW, sir. I am very happy to have a Kalash reader! Haha.
Well Gentlemen,
Sorry, I am not uncouth, yet it is great to see so much emotion here.
As I am part of almost all these racial “groups” you list in your posts, (including Jewish) I have realized (after many years) that whatever I learn about may always be incorrect, so I recommend being humble and always question everything you think you feel strongly about. That is the only path to wisdom. Even though my work is based on science, I have learned far more this way. Einstein kept his mind open. He felt that imagination and “free thought” allowed greater insight and understanding.
Yes, I have met many Nigerians who were really slimy individuals – I learned this personally and I almost became prejudice against the lot of them. Yet, I still try to hold strong to a belief that all peoples, of every religion, color and continent are equals, no man/woman better than any other man/woman. And, that there are bad and good individuals (as well as smart and stupid individuals) in every group. I see this variation in all the disparate racial/religious groups in my family, so I always try to challenge my original view of Nigerians and other groups of people I had “bad” experiences with. I’m sure if I went to Nigeria, I would find some wonderful Nigerian people quite different than the ones I met that found their way over here.
You are educated in journalism and you are a linguist. You are also very curious and research things extensively. You know a lot – but not everything,… none of us know everything. Because of my “mix” I decided to apply to the most difficult program in genetics and neuroscience at Harvard. I am fortunate to have colleagues who are the very best in this field. Much of the past year I spent focusing on the differing “IQ’s” of different racial groups world wide, and how neuroscience informs this “IQ” test that you and I and so many refer to so often. I have learned that different racial groups actually do not have different “IQ’s” afterall. Our recent vast discoveries over the past couple years based on the emerging and quite improved fMRI brain scanning technology as well as other lesser known brain scanning technologies supports the invalidity of the Western “IQ” test altogether. Howard Gardner is close, and Robert Sternberg is even closer to any true mearement we might make about various kinds of human intelligence. Notice I wrote ‘various kinds.’ My fellow neuroscientists agree that Western IQ tests tend to only show 1.) how much Western or European culture you have and 2.) how much affluence you have in Western or European culture. What they don’t predict is how successful you will be in any given pursuit, academically or otherwise.
Just a note of advice: It may be better to refrain from the label “IQ” altogether unless you acknowledge the various multiple intelligences that the Western IQ test does not measure.
Since I am not a journalist, I’m sure you could parlay this better than I, but hey, I am just enjoying being part of this lively conversation.
Keep up the great work and stay true to your individualism while you are expanding our minds to the rainbow of mankind’s treasures.
peace,
Pahdri
casualty of modernity, you do not get to talk to me like that, ok? Do it again and I will ban your ass.
Robert Lohan…I know your type…You were beat up alot as a kid…Kids went over to your house when you weren’t home to fuck your mother…You tried to be invisible and stayed out of everyone’s way just trying to decipher the works of Danielle Steele when some black with a dick bigger than your arm fucked you through and through… You decided that day that you would try and read up on all fuckin’ “anarchists” of the world to try and be one…Well dude A) You’re not a good writer.

You’re banned. HAND.
Bye honey.
Hi, I`m an Psychology student from Argentina.
I was researching about the Chechenia War and other Conflicts around The Globe. I founded this place quite interesting.
About the War Videos, I`m already making a documentary about The “B side of violence”.
I need to show those Creepy videos, to show the audience How Awfull the “Real violence” is.
I`m a Christian not Catholic, I don`t Trust in Religion, I just Catched What Jesus Left and is enought clair to me.
So about the Hate, I Founded on that feeling an incredible Waste of energy, So I don`t find Productive have an generalized Hate.
If an Muslim Baker or Christian Taxi driver offend me, I will judge Their Character.
I don`t Care a Jot their Genealogy, money,flag or religion, that “x” Bastard insulted me.
Well, I Wondering if it`s Ilegal Put those Banned Videos Like the “Russian Beheading by Neo nazis”, on an Independent Film.
I don`t want to break the Law, but if those videos are Available for the “Teenager Freaks Amusement” I believe the best We can`t do as Human Beings, is discover the other meaning of those acts of savage violence, the real one.
Without Political Distinction, just people.
Something Completely Inacceptable.
So, It Would Be great if you can give me that information, Please Send me an email.
Thank you for the space.
Bye.
a fellow green party-er who has cats, I like you even more. ;P
You are a Green Party member, but you are anti-abortion? Oh well, I guess that’s ok. I’m a Greenie, but I hate illegal aliens and the Greens are for Open Borders.
You hate gypsies? I’m curious.. why? Travelled widely and had some bad experiences?
I thought there are were no gypsies in California.. and the do-gooders(.. I wonder how their outlook would change if there was a gypsy colony in their neighbourhood) from beyond the ocean always keep stirring up trouble, like trying to accuse doctors who sterilized Gypsy women (invariably women who have already had children) for health reasons of genocide.
We’re pretty fed up with them here in eastern Europe. There’s this huge social problem, solving which is going to take perhaps fifty years of ruthless liberal(old meaning) policies and some clever social programs. Or perhaps divine intervention. It’s that or when a time of chaos comes around, they’ll be fertilizer. I suspect a fair number of people wouldn’t ask question if their Roma neighbours just vanished.
Well here in this city, we have Gypsies! I met a Gypsy woman and her three daughters and they ripped me off! They conned me. They were getting contributions for a funeral for a girl who got shot to death by gang members, who went to the same school as her daughters. They gave me name, date of shooting, etc. I gave them a couple bucks, and then they bitched and said they wanted $5.
I went home and asked around and there had been no such killing.
They looked like Hispanics, but spoke a foreign language, so I asked them which language and they said Romanian. I asked if they were Gypsies but they said no way. Well I put two and two together and figured out they were Gypsies. Also the woman spoke “gangster” talk, the lowest of the low Black ghetto speech.
Later there was another one outside my door hanging out with the Hispanic neighbor. Same thing, same Black ghetto speech, talking on the phone, she just got out of jail, etc. Just the lowest, scummiest woman you ever met. Foreign language again, I asked her, and she said she was speaking Roma. Another Gypsy! We have Gypsies in California! I don’t know how they got here. They seem to be recent immigrants.
I’ve met 5 Gypsies in my whole life and they all sucked. They were all criminals! 5 for 5, screw that.
Black people are about 100 times better than Gypsies. A lot of Blacks are cool people. Seems like most or almost all Gypsies are criminals.
How many languages do you speak Robert?
I’ve never seen a Gypsy before. All I can say though is if Gypsy women look like this let’s bring in more of them!
http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg82/d-dena/GYPSY%20LOVE/bellydancing-gypsies.jpg
@tulio
..hmm. They’re too pale. Gypsies still retain dark skin here, though we have some white people who behave as the so-called non-integrated gypsies. But real gypsies are always swarthy, as they are recent arrivals from India and haven’t lost the pigmentation.
Maybe 35% of gypsies are integrated, that is quite law abiding usually poor and often employed. Some of them are pretty good musicians..
Maybe 5% are the so-called Olah gypsies, who specialize in shady dealings and conning people, and are easy to identify because they like tacky gold jewellry.
The rest are often illiterate, unemployable and on welfare. Did I mention that there is a class of usurers who rip them off. When police pressured victims of these practices to speak out, their own families convinced them not to.
@Robert..
Hmm. You’ve got to be careful with Gypsies. They are okay if you don’t let yourself be ripped off(I think they respect that), and behave politely towards them. Just keep your wits about
stumbled up your blog, mr. lindsay – not really something that i’d usually read at 7AM with my mcgriddle and coffee, but very interesting, i must say.
we’re two different human beings from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds so of course, there are bits here (your blog) that i agree and disagree, however, it’s been a good read and very insightful.
keep up the good work:)
You do of course realize that the CPUSA has been heavily infiltrated by the FBI and is now a revisionist party right?
That’s ok, a lot of Commies call me revisionist anyway, that’s when they are not saying, “He’s not a Communist!” Hell, I even support social democracy. Worse than that, I run a business! Not only that, but I go to Mass! Face it, after 1989, everything is pretty much up for grabs. What’s clear though is that the present systems in both the US and the Philippines are shit and have to go, piecemeal and slow or wholesale and fast.
I’m aware the NPA would call me revisionist, but that’s ok.

Man oh man do we think alike on quite a few things. I’m also liberal, hate the mistreatment of anyone on the basis of color, yet I believe in the overall superiority of whites, or just plain like them better, like the way they look better, but I love African Americans, hate lower class Mexicans, but I’ve grown to like a lot of Mexicans of all colors, I say racist things, but get upset when other people do. I also make the distinction between blacks in this country and blacks from other countries. I like the exuberance and positive vibes of blacks, they have a lot of pizzaz, not to be stereotypical, but they have a lot of soul.. I notice they go out of their way to help you. Sure some have a chip on their shoulders and will rip you off if they can, but I attribute that to years of marginalization, overall I think they’re just super cool, very expressive, creative people. It’s cultural, that’s why blacks from Africa and the West Indies have nothing to do with them.
Hey Mr Lindsay – just a quick note: I know you are interested in the people of North Africa, especially the Berbers. Seems like you have claimed before that they may be the root stock of Whites?
Related to this: have you ever heard of the Vandals?
They were a group of East Germanic ‘barbarian’ tribespeople who migrated all over the place during the centuries after Jesus’ death during the decline of the Roman Empire (the ‘Völkerwanderung’ period). They went from Eastern Europe (originated in Scandinavia some think) through modern Germany, modern France, across the Pyrenees in to Iberia, and eventually crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and ended up in North Africa where they took control of large portions of the North African coast. There they famously sacked Rome in 455 AD/CE. So basically these were Germanic peoples living in North Africa (mostly situated around modern Tunisia) crossing the Mediterranean Sea to sack Rome.
Just wondering if you knew about this group? As I said, they were Germanic peoples, so they likely had a high incidence of light eyes, light skin, and other North Caucasoid features. Thus do you think they might’ve been the group which brought North Caucasoid features (light eyes, light skin, etc) in to North Africa in recent times? That they might even be the base stock of the modern Berbers? It seems to me that they and related groups were the people who probably took non-brown eyes to North Africa in recent times, not that the Berbers had them all along.
More info @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vandals
See a map of their wanderings @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Invasions_of_the_Roman_Empire_1.png [in blue]
I’m not sure. You may be correct. Now, to me, understand there are Whites outside of Europe. Not all Caucasoids outside of Europe are White, but some are. And there are for sure White Berbers. There are also non-White Berbers, Caucasian and not. There are also White and non-White Turks, White and non-White Arabs, and there are actually some White Afghans, White Pakistanis and even White Indians, even though most of these folks are not White.
I don’t know about the Vandals. The Berbers are a root of all of the Caucasoids, and also they are one of the base roots of the Europeans for sure, along with Arabs and the Caucasus. Some of those Berbers like the Moabites, may be the remains of some of the most ancient Caucasians on Earth. They’re like our grandparents.
Revolutionary, patriotic Leftist, Christian, liberation theology, replacement theology.
So, you being a “replacement theologian” hate the Jewish people. Oxymoron.
Leftism is Soviet, plain and simple. It is NOT American, in any way, shape or form.
Revolutionary, yes, we know all too well of the “revolutionaries” Stalin, Guevara, we also know of the deaths and genocides they caused. We also know about Robeson and Feffer.
Basically, the pimple is coming to a head.
Yeah, yeah whatever babe.
Replacement theology is just Christianity. If you want to say Christianity is anti-Semitic, there’s not much I’m going to say to that.
Christianity is pretty clear about that. Christians have been replacement theologist since the religion was started it only ended recently because of Christian Zionism and Political Correctness.
What about all the genocides and other mass deaths caused by right-wing capitalists?
Mr. Lindsay,
I will say bye now. I like your blog. I judged way too quickly, forgive me.
Have a great life.

Bye….:)
hi,
this is a great web site in concept, but i get the feeling you are non-bias and yet biased at the same time.
on the one hand you may have had personal bad experiences with some people of a specific type so you take a dislike to them, like the gypsies for instance and on the other hand you are evidently trying to be objective and even handed with other stuff. It gets abit confusing, cos if I am reading a text knowing that the individual is biased in some way, it kind of discredits the seeming objectivity of the author, thus making me doubt as I read. Just thought that you should know.
True intellectualism is the kind where you’re trying to be non-involved in emotions and subjectivity if thats what you are aiming for.
but thats not to say that I wont follow your articles though.
Ciao, Kristina
Hey Robert, I know you already did a post on Arizona’s immigration law, but another post analyzing the problem of illegal Mexican immigration is in order.
I just came across two stories. One should make you smile while the other should induce vomiting.
Though I’m from NorCal and hate the Lakers, I just gained a tremendous amount of respect for Phil Jackson.
http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/15724/phil-jackson-on-his-future-and-leaving-politics-in-the-past
And here’s an absolutely disgusting article. About five high school students (I’m guessing they were white) were kicked off campus for wearing shirts with American flags during Cinco de Mayo. While I wouldn’t have been foolish enough to risk such an action (due to the great consequences, as you shall see), I am absolutely disgusted by this.
See for yourself. And for you pathetic anti-racists and open borders liberals: If you’re wondering why we despise illegals and illegal immigration so much, this is why.
Read it yourself, and try not to puke.
http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local-beat/Students-Wearing-American-Flag-Shirts-Sent-Home-92945969.html
Glad to hear Phil Jackson taking a stand on the issue. And the correct stand.
The school issue is disgusting. The students should’ve refused to leave and chained themselves to the desk if necessary, make a national incident of it if possible to wake people up. As California goes, so goes the nation within 25 years. Even I am surprised at this story, as crazy and PC as this state is, it’s beyond what I even thought could happen. Number one, what is any damn school doing celebrating Cinco de Mayo? For starters, CDM isn’t even celebrated in Mexico outside of Puebla. Why Obama is celebrating CDM at the White House or why Mexicans are so crazy about it up here is beyond me. Now I’m not a party pooper, if one of my Latino friends wants to grab a margarita on CDM, I’m cool with that, but the whole politicizing of it has gone too far. It’s now one of those days where if you don’t acknowledge it or make some big deal of it, you’re seen as anti-Latino or some bullshit. Just another step forward in the slippery slope to reconquista.
Now will people take a stand? Probably not. It’s like the gay marriage issue. The side that’s on the defensive is eventually going to lose. Most people opposed to illegal immigration are the ones on the defensive. We feel like WE have to explain our views, rather than the other way around. It takes them a mere 5 seconds to say, “we’re a nation of immigrants, we’re compassionate, you are bigots and racial profilers” and it takes us 10 minutes to rebut that. They want to exasperate their opponents and hope they just lose their will to fight back, and that’s what we see happening.
Nearly 15 years ago, a seminal article was written in the Atlantic Monthly, one of the most pragmatic articles on immigration I’ve seen to date.
http://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/issues/96nov/immigrat/kennedy.htm
We should’ve had the foresight to know that mass immigration from a country right next door will essentially create a colony within the host nation. Historically, colonies were imposed against the will of the host country, in this case, it was encouraged, and some of the real loons thing it’s a great thing.
Btw, did you guys catch that Mexican girl in the red shirt. Jesus Christ was that jailbait or what?? Girls like that sometimes make me want open borders with Mexico.
Glad to hear Phil Jackson taking a stand on the issue. And the correct stand.
Lol! Never in my life did I think that I would ever find anything to like about Phil Jackson.
But alas, these are goofy times.
Now I’m not a party pooper, if one of my Latino friends wants to grab a margarita on CDM, I’m cool with that, but the whole politicizing of it has gone too far.
Absolutely. If people wish to enjoy a certain day or event, that is entirely their right. I won’t rain on their parade.
However, people really have to be crazy in the head if they think it’s okay to punish American students wearing American shirts for offending people celebrating a foreign holiday, which, as you’ve pointed out, isn’t even widespread in Mexico itself.
The second your holiday becomes my problem and restricts my freedom of expression, then we’re going to have problems.
Even I am surprised at this story, as crazy and PC as this state is, it’s beyond what I even thought could happen.
Why am I not surprised that this took place in the Bay Area? While I never had to experience anything nearly as crazy as this, such PC dogma was pervasive during my adolescent years in the Yay Area.
Oh sure, my non-white friends and I would frequently exchange racist jokes and insults, and politically incorrect humor was common. It’s not like everyone in the Bay is anal.
But to question Cinco de Mayo or embrace Arizona’s immigration law would have amounted to blasphemy. Basically, taking a strong stand on serious social issues that violate leftist dogma can get you in trouble.
Why Obama is celebrating CDM at the White House
Obama is one interesting man. I’ve deduced that he is simply a people pleaser. Something tells me that maybe, just maybe, he wants to make further inroads with Hispanic voters.
However, I’m sure there is a non-political reason for this. People like to party and enjoy social gatherings, and CDM is a good excuse to have fun.
Why Mexicans are so crazy about it up here is beyond me.
I honestly don’t know. However, there are popular myths and false beliefs among many Mexicans. Such misconceptions are even more profound among Mexican Americans.
I took an excellent course on modern Mexican history, which refuted numerous myths. Turns out, we Americans aren’t the only ones who distort history and create popular myths. Mexico has plenty of its own.
Among other things, I learned that the classification “Latino” is a stupid, bogus term conjured up by the occupying French during the mid-19th century occupation of Mexico.
Despite this, I recall in a high a time when this girl of Hispanic origin (she wasn’t even full Hispanic. She was part Hispanic, Asian, and white. Well, I know whites can be Hispanic too, but you get the point) who objected to Hispanic and preferred “Latino” because it was an “oppressive term imposed on us by eurocentric beliefs” (or something along those lines).
Well, if she spoke to or learned from foreign Hispanic scholars (as I have), she would realize that “Latino” is an equally imposed and bogus classification. At least Hispanic is more accurate because it better refers to the Spanish speaking peoples of Latin America.
But I digress.
I don’t know why exactly Mexicans are so crazy about the holiday, but that’s besides the point.
In that article, one Mexican student claimed that wearing a shirt with an American flag “was disrespect. You wouldn’t see me waving my flag during the 4th of July.”
WTF?! Newsflash: You’re in the United States, not Mexico. If an American went down to Mexico and waved the U.S. flag in a public school, I don’t even want to know what would happen to him. I can hardly even imagine Mexican students being punished for waving the Mexican flag during the 4th of July in their own country.
This is truly appalling. But there’s good news: From what I’ve read, 12 other states are following Arizona’s lead and introducing new legislation designed to halt illegal immigration.
There is hope yet. Some people just need to pull their heads out of their asses.
To reiterate my previous message to leftist fools: If you really want to know what motivates us “extremists,” “nativists,” and “white supremacists” when it comes to illegal immigration, articles like this, and this
http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/AB/20100420/NEWS010702/4210362/
will at least give you a clue.
I think the reason why so few people take a stand is simple. Both whites and blacks oppose illegal immigration, yet both are afraid to openly speak out against such immigration.
For whites:
1. They’re afraid of that dreaded R word.
2. Neocons and Republicans want cheap labor.
3. Democrats want future voters and dependents.
4. Many truly don’t understand the problem.
For blacks:
Even though many flesh-and-blood black people oppose illegal immigration, various scholars, pundits, and other public figures (you know, the people with the most influence) don’t speak out for a few reasons. This is speculation on my part.
1. They want to maintain the illusion of some brown/”people of color” coalition. A bit of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” syndrome going on here. Regardless of how much illegal immigration hurts black Americans, they don’t want to destroy their precious “brown coalition.”
2. Sensitivities over racism. While it’s absurd to compare the illegal Hispanic immigrant’s situation to that of the Civil Rights protesters, many leaders and pundits cannot help but feel some empathy. They also figure that whites who oppose illegal immigrants also talk smack about them behind their backs.
3. Black Democratic politicians are no better than white ones. Both have a stake in the corporate system, which just happens to favor illegal immigration.
I’m just speculating here when it comes to why blacks aren’t more openly opposed. If you have better insight, feel free to correct me or add on, since you know more than I do. Also, I was mainly referring to pundits and scholars, not everyday black people.
Sooner or later, people will have to wake up. At least we’re finally starting to see that happening.
“They also figure that whites who oppose illegal immigrants also talk smack about them behind their backs.”
I think that’s the main one. And we have to be honest, we’re not stupid, we know that many of these people behind the law in Arizona are the same types walking around with rifles outside of Obama speeches. I’m opposed to illegal immigration on principle, but I know when it comes down to it, I probably wouldn’t like many of those right-wing white Arizonans. We just happen to agree on this one point of mutual interest. If I’m not mistaken, most blacks oppose illegal immigration. But you don’t see too many blacks organizing against it because politically, most blacks don’t have much in common with those far-right Minuteman types. Some blacks though are members as this article points out: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/earl-ofari-hutchinson/why-so-many-blacks-fear-i_b_14472.html
Actually, a lot of anti-immigration groups are staunchly anti-racist, at least the ones on the Net anyway. They don’t deal with anti-Black racism much, but they deal with anti-Hispanic racism all the time. Fora are rigorously policed and the White racists are asked to check it at the door or take off. White racist posts are quickly deleted. On the anti-illegal groups, there are many Whites who are married to Hispanics or have Hispanic relatives. Here in CA, we Whites have been marrying in with these Hispanics for 100 years now, so they are almost family.
Even the Minutemen welcome Hispanic and I think even Black members. Some even go out on patrol with these guys. The Minutemen actually rigorously police their organization for racism, last time I checked anyway. The MSM Scum Media has just given them a terrible reputation.
You’d certainly be welcome at any legit anti-illegal group. In fact, they’d be overjoyed to see you since they are so eager to get rid of the racist label.
Blacks don’t support anti-illegal stuff for all the reasons above. They figure these are just racist Whites who hate Blacks too. Now they’re picking on Hispanics, but they also stick it to the Blacks. Why side with the enemy? Whitey that is.
I am sorry that the anti-illegal movement has this reputation, but truthfully, most of them are extreme rightwingers. I have been tossed off fora after fora for being a liberal, not to mention a Leftist. These people really need to open up. A *lot* of liberals, especially here in the West, have had it up to here with illegals turning this whole state into Greater Tijuana.
The way I see it, people are going to have to abandon rigid ideologies that prevent change.
When it comes to illegal immigration, I don’t speak as a Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative, Moderate, Libertarian, etc.
I speak as a concerned white guy, all pointless political labels be damned.
Tulio speaks as a concerned black guy, all political labels be damned.
Of course, I’m not going to propose some black/white coalition against illegal immigration, because there’s just way too much distrust and conflicting interests between the two groups for there to be any long term alliance.
However, each and every one of us, as as individuals, can oppose immigration and use our votes to have an impact.
People who aren’t as disgusted with that Bay Area High School incident as I am, regardless of ideological beliefs, are part of the problem.
@ Tulio
I often (though not always) agree with Earl Ofari Hutchinson and find his views reasonable and insightful.
The one thing that bugged me was his random sentence pointing out that illegals come from Canada, Europe, Asia, and perhaps Africa (he didn’t mention Africa, but I once read a story about an illegal African immigrant).
Sure, there are illegals from all over the place.
However, let’s be honest : The overwhelming majority of illegals are from South of the border.
After all, the Arizona law said nothing about Hispanics or any other race. The law simply mandated getting rid of illegals and preventing their entry.
And yet, detractors immediately denounced the law as racist and anti-Hispanic.
Well, isn’t that kind of an admission that illegal immigration is primarily a Hispanic problem?
I know that some anti-racists love to castigate anti-illegal immigration advocates for their racism by pointing out that they don’t have nearly as much hostility towards illegal Canadians or Europeans (and, of course, many like to point out that we whites are the true illegal immigrants since we stole this country from the Indians, blah blah blah).
Well guess what? Illegal Canadians and Europeans are hardly entering this nation in huge numbers and using up social services.
And unless illegal Europeans and Canadians are experts at losing their accents and they have somehow eluded my gaze, I’ve never met one in my life.
On another note, speaking of blacks in such organizations, I recall that during the last 4th of July parade in my small city, one of the several organizations that marched in the parade was the NRA, and a disproportionate number of the people holding guns and sporting the NRA logo were black.
Contrary to “Bowling for Columbine,” militants with guns are not just these rednecks working with the KKK for the purpose of using their guns against blacks.
“The one thing that bugged me was his random sentence pointing out that illegals come from Canada, Europe, Asia, and perhaps Africa (he didn’t mention Africa, but I once read a story about an illegal African immigrant).

Yeah. If there were as few Mexican illegals in the country as there are British illegals, none of this would even be a big issue.
Maybe it’s time for a post about the latest Neanderthal/human intermixing findings. It looks like only Africans don’t have Neanderthal DNA, which is fascinating.
Btw, for those that say intermixing is unnatural, I’d love for them to explain this. Some guys were even boinking ugly Neanderthal women, lol.
Hey Robert, I think a post on the 1st Amendment as it relates to PC, hate speech, flag burning, campus speech codes, fighting words, and other controversial free speech issues would be great.
As snarky, radical, and insatiable commenter Ankhesen Mie who comments at Abagond put it (this coming from her own blog, which I recently browsed):
While racial slurs are not protected by the First Amendment, opinions of racism and hate speech are loosely protected by the First Amendement. I say “loosely” because while a person can express an opinion, the moment that opinion incites people to violence, its utterer is immediately liable under the law.
So for white people who’ve uttered racial slurs, paid fines and/or gotten your asses kicked, and then watched your ass-kicker go free, it’s not because “the race card was played” or because the person of color in question played on the court’s sympathy.
It’s because you violated federal law.
I just want to know whether or not I could go to jail just because I say something deemed “racist hate speech.”
Would a bigoted black person run afoul of the 1st Amendment for using anti-white slurs or “racist speech,” or would he be afforded special legal protections since he’s part of a “protected class?”
Who gets to determine what qualifies as “hate speech?”
Who gets to determine which opinions are likely to incite violent action? Does being called something hateful and offensive give people the legal right to beat others up?
Does the offensive person have to watch his “ass-kicker go free?”
Is Ankhesen Mie simply full of shit? You know, like she usually is?
I already know a decent amount about this issue, but it would be great to see some extra perspective and insight.
By the way, I think you should add a suggestions section, so that way I don’t have to place all of my suggestions in the About section.
A suggested topic page I think would be a great idea. Also maybe an open topic page where people can freely post things of general interest to us all. Sort of a cyber “water cooler” if you will.
Hey Tulio, did you change your screen name?
He goes by that name sometimes.
Thanks tulio, I made both of those pages for you.
Hey Robert, it seems as if you’ve incurred the wrath of one of the radical, militant, and snarky black commenters over at Abagond.
In fact, you’ve irritated her so much that she’s diagnosed you with her made-up mental illness called “Draptoresponsia.”
This coming from her own blog
http://www.ankhesen-mie.net/2010/06/draptoresponsia-case-study-11-anti.html#more
Just thought I’d let you know.
Some blacks are simply insatiable and not even worth trying to approach. For those kinds of blacks, I say fuck em.
Clearly, they will never be satisfied until be get down on our knees and confess all of our white sins and shortcomings.
Anyway, see for yourself.
What is it you’ve been trying to approach Blacks about?
Nothing.
The point I’m trying to make is that whites are foolish and naive if they think that reconciliation will be an easy process.
The point I’m trying to make is that with certain blacks, a white person shouldn’t even try.
For blacks who are reasonable, such as Ta-Nehisi Coates and Tulio, I’m very willing to discuss these matters and perhaps try to reach some sort of understanding. Of course, we’ll disagree, and being pro-white, there are some things I can never agree to.
However, for radical blacks such as Ankhesen Mie, fuck em.
Why even bother?
So no, Alpha. I’m not trying to approach blacks or “bridge the gap.” I’m simply reflecting on how futile such attempts are.
I also thought I’d let Robert know that he’s been diagnosed with a mental illness by our Ankhesen Mie friend.
I agree with you, BAG. With a lot of these Blacks, it’s just hopeless, so don’t even bother with them.
Alpha isn’t like that, otherwise she would not even be here in the first place.
I don’t agree with that there will always be disagreements between pro-Whites and Blacks. I agree with most of what tulio wants. His talk about White privilege puts me off, but it’s true, we are privileged. I just don’t feel like dealing with it, that’s all. But it’s not like tulio is wrong or anything like that.
Well Robert, again, it depends on how you define “privilege.”
Relatively speaking, whites are privileged (mainly compared to blacks). In absolute terms, I don’t think they’re privileged on account of being white.
But yes, I do find Tulio and Alpha very reasonable and open-minded.
Just because I don’t agree with Tulio on “white privilege” doesn’t mean that we completely disagree on many issues.
What’s remarkable is that right now there are frustrated Black people who feel they can’t get through to Whites, saying, “A lot of these Whites are just hopeless. You can’t reason with them.”
Then again, my definition of “privilege” is different from blacks’ definition.
I guess it’s really a battle over semantics.
What’s remarkable is that right now there are frustrated Black people who feel they can’t get through to Whites, saying, “A lot of these Whites are just hopeless. You can’t reason with them.”
The feeling is certainly mutual.
As I’ve said before, I think whites and blacks just need a nice, long vacation from one another.
It’s funny, all this black and white talk. Sometimes it reminds me of people still speaking of the world in Cold War terms where you had one side the U.S. versus the Soviets when now we have the U.S. Russia, China, India, the middle east, the E.U. all competing with each other.
As someone living in California, I don’t even think the black-white thing is on the front burner. I think the problem I’m seeing now going to Hispanics versus everyone else, at least in this part of the country. Or at least this will be a part of the nation where Hispanic’s interest comes first. The city of L.A. wouldn’t cough up a meager $16,000 for the Memorial Day parade, yet will pay for the Mexican Independence Day parade coming up and pay for police and security for all these Arizona protests coming up. It somehow finds the money for that. It also came up with millions for Michael Jackson’s funeral at Staples Center and for the Laker parades whenever they win. So we will have a parade to celebrate Mexico’s Independence, yet can’t do the same for our veterans. I’m really taken aback.
@ Tulio
You’re absolutely right. Despite the fact that I grew up/live in California, and most of my friends and acquaintances of other races have been more Hispanic, Asian, and even Middle Eastern than black (even though I know a few blacks, though not many), I still cannot help but think of race relations as a black versus white affair.
One might think I would know better, but even I get caught up in this binary thinking.
I think much of it has to do with my middle school experience in Oakland, where most of the non-white kids there were black. Most of my unpleasant encounters were with black kids, so I think that left a lasting impression on me. In case you’re curious why I harbor the racial views I harbor, much of it subconsciously comes from my middle school experience.
Even though I know more Hispanics and Asians than blacks, and had more encounters/conversations/experiences, negative and positive, racial and non-racial, I cannot help but focus on blacks.
By the way, if what you say is true, then I’m outraged. Does L.A. seriously give more money and attention to Mexican holidays than this nation’s own freakin’ memorial day?
Well, at least several states are following Arizona’s example. While I don’t agree with Arizona’s law for certain reasons, it’s a step in the right direction.
I’ll be honest: I don’t want to be overrun by Hispanics in the future. As someone who lives in California, the racial tension and future in this nation will be more of a Hispanic than black issue.
Point taken, tulio. As someone who also lives in Cali, I ought to know better.
And Tulio, I hate to sound cynical, but you’d better get used to stuff like that continuing to happen in L.A.
With Hispanics the majority, Hispanics will almost certainly be elected mayor from now on.
Just wait until they take over the entire state. What you said about L.A. and that Cinco de Mayo incident in the Bay will be considered child’s play.
http://www.dailynews.com/ci_15204797?source=most_viewed
ps – where it really gets interesting is the shitstorm in the comments section. Some comments are out and out racist unfortunately, but many of them make sense.
LOL, you don’t want to be overrun by Hispanics. Come to my shitty, I mean city. This place has been seriously overrun for 15-20 years now. Honestly, the Hispanics are quite easy to get along with, and I have almost no personal problems with any of them. However, they have stolen all of my hubcaps.
Problem with them is like Blacks. Lot of Hispanics and Blacks are really cool, but so damned many of them are no good that you have to choose you Hispanic/Blacks acquaintances very carefully, much more carefully than you would choose your White acquaintances. I’ve turned into quite a wary person around here.
I wonder if that’s where that Diversity = Lack of Trust thing comes from. I hardly trust anyone around here unless I know them pretty well.
It seems funny to fear being overrun by Hispanics. It’s a done deal here in Mexifornia for some time now.
Around here, no one gives two shits about Black people racist-wise. They are simply not important and not really on anyone’s radar. Hence, there is little racism against Blacks around here. There’s few of them, and nothing to get worked up about.
Plus around here, all of the races totally hang out with each other. Even White rednecks hang out with Blacks and Hispanics. Lot of mixed race couples and way more friendships. It’s most prominent among the young.
Hell, around here, even the racists hang out with the other races. I know an Hispanic woman who told me that she hates Blacks, but she’s always hanging around with them. Funny how that works.
Well Robert, that’s no surprise. In my high school friend group, we all basically admitted, to each others’ face, that we’re racist against one another.
Racial insults and tension in my friend group was common.
Yet in spite of all this, we continued to hang out.
People can separate the individual from the political.
While most people are racist and don’t like certain groups, they have no problem being friends with individuals from those groups.
People are social animals, and we enjoy human company, even if we despise those people.
I wonder if that’s where that Diversity = Lack of Trust thing comes from.
Bingo. There’s a lot of distrust that just wouldn’t exist if not for diversity. It’s easy to be a tolerant and trusting person when you don’t have to deal with people from different backgrounds.
Around here, no one gives two shits about Black people racist-wise. They are simply not important and not really on anyone’s radar. Hence, there is little racism against Blacks around here. There’s few of them, and nothing to get worked up about.
This is what I’ve been saying all along. You can’t have racism/racial tension without diversity. Again, that’s why I think we all need a nice, long vacation from one another. Without diversity, there’s nothing to get worked up about.
Even White rednecks hang out with Blacks and Hispanics.
Again, not surprising. While I and this black guy in high school were friends on an individual level, we both were openly clear about the fact that we don’t have a high opinion of each others’ races.
One can like another person individually, and still despise that person’s group.
For all of you wondering, I am a racist. If by racist, you mean I prefer my own group over other groups, am more likely to see positive qualities in my group and negative qualities in other groups, and am prejudiced, then yes, I’m a racist.
To me, favoring your own group over other groups is perfectly natural, and I don’t apologize for it.
This doesn’t mean that I’m some hateful extremist who wishes to exterminate or forcibly segregate other groups. I just like my people, more so than other people.
But I digress. The point I am trying to make is that while I get along with many Hispanics on an individual level, I wouldn’t want them as a group to be in charge/overrun my group.
So, Bay Area Guy, you’re a racist and quite proud of it, correct?
He says he’s racist in PC terms in that he prefers his own people. I don’t think that qualifies as racism at all. I know Blacks who prefer their own kind. They live in mostly Black small towns in the South. I know Asians who prefer their own kind. They can’t wait to move back to Pakistan.
I don’t see how preferring your own kind is racism, except in anti-racist la-la land.
To me, racism is animus. Do you have animus towards this or that group of people. Yes? Racist. No? Not racist.
What’s funny about this is that by this test, a lot of those “anti-racist” Blacks over at Abagond’s and all the Abagond-clone sites are obviously *Black racists*! What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. We Whites are particularly going to not listen to Blacks complaining about White racism, when those doing the bitching are Black racists themselves.
For instance, Ankieson Mie is obviously a *Black racist*. Hence, I have no use for this person. I’m not even all that mad at them. I just don’t care about them. They’re not part of my world. They’re just barking dogs. Let the dogs bark.
Well, depends on what you mean by “racist.”
You see, I prefer my group over other groups, am more likely to see the positive in my group and negative in other groups, and am prejudiced.
By that definition, which is what the anti-racists go by, I am a racist.
If by “racist” you mean a hatemonger who wishes to join a neo-nazi group and viciously attack other groups, then no, I’m not.
And no, I’m not proud of it. However, I’m not going to apologize for it either.
By the way Robert, your brand of anti-racism is very unique.
The vast majority of anti-racists I know of are not like you at all, and would probably brand you a bigot.
You’re certainly not like Tim Wise, Robert Jensen, Molly Secours, Macon D (Stuff White People Do), etc.
LOL, they do call me bigot, racist, bla bla. It’s already ended a few friendships, and I say good riddance. That White PC shit seems like a form of insanity.
Yeah, to me, all you have to do to be an anti-racist is to not hate the other groups, to try to be fair to them and not prejudiced against them, and to not try to screw them over and or harm them in any way (includes everything for my group and none for you guys). In order to be a true anti and not just a non-racist, you really ought to oppose real racism when you see it. Antis fight it. Non-racists aren’t racist, but they don’t attack it too much when they see it.
My form of anti-racism is not all that unique. If you hang around with a lot of liberal Whites, like here in California, you will see my version an awful lot. It’s just no one talks about it too much.
Alpha, what’s your definition of “racist?”
My answer might change according to yours.
You stated that for all of us wondering, you are a racist. You then went on to explain what that meant.
Did you not mean that?
Racist by that definition, yes. So yes, I meant it.
Heck, according to the anti-racists, just existing and thinking makes me a racist, so I might as well admit it.
By your definition, I’m not so sure.
robert lindsey His talk about White privilege puts me off, but it’s true, we are privileged. I just don’t feel like dealing with it, that’s all.
two points for being honest and sometimes the truth makes us feel uncomfortable.
Hi, I’m somewhat new around here but i just wanted to say that you run an interesting blog. Your blog seems to be a mixture of left wing politics, social studies along with some “race realism”. There does seem to be an unhealthy animosity towards Jews although yours is unique in that it appears to be from an anti racist perspective. Anyway, i just wanted to say keep up the good work.

Racism, at what point does one begin dialog on the subject of racism, an analytical take on the origin and lifestyle of Neanderthal Man or bettering one’s understanding on the displacement of the species by Homosapiens are likely places to begin as anywhere else but distinguishing common denominators isn’t the usual goal when more immediate concerns are at stake such as the riff between Islamic culture and non Islamic cultures predominantly divided along ethnic and racial lines is the overriding stimulus responsible for the carnage over the centuries during the current cosmopolitan period which extends back thousands of years until the upper paleolithic period a time before the early evolution of culture and the advent of religion existed mankind’s self serving nature sought domination over those less well prepared physically and intellectually killing any contender who disagreed with the status quo. Altogether the heritage of man up to the present day remains in a state of geopolitical segregation weaned on the propaganda of theocracy limited within a thin biosphere upon a polluted overpopulated planet patrolled by extraterrestrials – is one hell of an ugly mess you managed to get all of us into this time Stupid!
Robert, are you actually Christian?
Yes. Why?
I am always somehow startled and baffled when I encounter intelligent and/or literate Christians (although obviously this is an absurd feeling to have given the sheer number of Christians in the world).
Does this mean you accept as objective truth God’s existence, the Eternal Soul, Heaven, Hell, the Trinity, the Resurrection and Ascent, the Second Coming, the Day of Judgement, etc., etc.?
Actually Christianity makes a lot of sense. Just cut out the supernatural stuff, and it’s the value base on which socialism and communism evolved. Not Judaism, not Buddhism, not Islam, not Sikhism, but Christianity. Why is that? Because Jesus’ message was radical at its core. As William Blake wrote in the Everlasting Gospel (1818): “Both read the Bible day and night, But thou read’st black where I read white”. He read the Bible as a political radical. So did the Ranters, the Levellers, the Quakers, the Anabaptists, Thomas Munzer, Archbishop Romero, the Bishop of Southwark, Charles Kingsley, the Chartists, Liberation theologians…
Christianity is the value base of civilised society. Before the Communist Manifesto there was The Sermon on the Mount lol…and of course I am proud that Christianity was founded by a Palestinian Jew, not a bloody Zionist!
Ethnocentrism seems to walk a fine line with Ethnic Nationalism IMO; how have you been navigating this line?

Write about interracial sex, and BELIEVE ME, your blog will get many hits.
Robert will you please write a post like abagond does on the world’s most beautiful women and men. You break them down by race or age.
@BAG- yup he should just write about cucokled men
Strange. I can no longer remember how I got here. I’ve become too mesmerised by so much melancholy hate mail to recall the links that lead me to this blog. Reading Robert Lindsay’s ABOUT bio I assumed it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek…. Lamenting the lonely lot of the “otherworldly” genius! But apparently it’s not to be taken with a grain of salt; rather meant to prepare the audience for a cascade of pseudo-intellectual pontifications. And it’s a shame, because whoever designed the page made it look like somewhere a person might actually learn something enlightening – after enduring an endless web trail of vitriolic rants and self-important bitterness.

Bye E Ramsay. You’re banned.
That’s curious. For what reason did you ban ‘E Ramsey’? Please explain.
He agreed with JDR’s post just above you.
But why is it a problem to agree with another post? I’m confused.
Thank you Robert for your response. You say that a comment supporting a post, apparently disagreeable to you, prompted a ban. To me this is intriguing on a blog that appears designed for at least some degree of debate. So I read through your Comments Policy, and it looks like debate here includes no room for criticism. In your view, how do you make that work?
You can criticize or disagree with me, but you have to do so in a friendly way. People do that all the time on here. JDR’s criticism is *not* friendly.
I see. And yet, re-reading the comment, it doesn’t seem all that hostile. I feel quite certain it wasn’t meant to be ‘unfriendly’. Can you really feel the points it raised are completely illegitimate? Going back to your own previous comments, don’t you think the following questions might be met with some response?….
“How can anybody who can’t realise that there are positives and negatives among any and every race and culture qualify for a degree in journalism?”
“What kind of man can decide he “hates” an ethnic group based on experiences with 5 individuals?”
BUT ITS TRUE!
Banned OMG.
This was truly a great post. Thank you!
Sooo….basically you have Aspergers.
That’s all we need. More idiot savants that are out of touch with reality but can articulate certain elements of it to the point of sounding almost competent.
I certainly don’t have Asperger’s. I have OCD. I’m a classic obsessional. A lot of obsessionals are pretty out of it too.
I really enjoy your blog. I’ve had a chance to get acquainted with you a bit better now. I like the fact that you’re as difficult to pigeon hole as I am. I don’t agree with everything you say. I like that, as well.
Great! Welcome aboard!
I’m center-right on most issues, so I don’t agree with you very often. But your blog is always a good read. You’re an honest man, and I respect that.
Keep on keepin’ on.
Why thank you sir!

Nope. I don’t respond to trolls. No need for a response to those criticisms.
What’s a ‘troll’?
The trolls are people who come here to insult me and attack me and get banned right away, like JDR. No point responding to people like that.
But, Robert, JDR didn’t come here to insult you, nor attack you. I can assure you JDR can’t remember now what brought him here, but certainly his comments were based on an honest – non troll-like – reaction to things already posted before he arrived. The comments you made, obviously, troubled him, as anyone might be troubled when confronted by what appears – at least when isolated in cold print – categorical statements about whole populations based on, what? Some of these people may rank among his own friends and family.

Nietzsche said: “We interpret ourselves as a unity in a world of images, which we created”.
Motivations behind our actions are not always apparent to us; our own motivations are often hidden from view, and can’t be perceived by others or ourselves.
Perhaps we respond unconsciously to that which lay dormant deep in our hearts, when we encounter what we seek to satisfy our unexpressed feelings and imaginations.
I believe Pascal said something along the lines of “the heart has reasons, which reason knows not”.

Mr. Lindsay,
I have no idea how you can say that sasquatch is language poor. I personally have published language of the sasquatch and referenced the Iberic link for quite some time. Most people make the mistake of focusing on the Sierra Sounds but that is not the language of the sasquatch in the East Coast. Furthermore, they are multi-lingual. Your image of the sasquatch is quite mistaken. I have been up performing up close research of the sasquatch for several years now and have learned much more than these researchers that walk around knocking on trees. Just wanted to clarify that sasquatch is very human and very capable of speaking beautifully spoken languages.

You are a Christian and you claim to have a high IQ? This, to me, seems completely incompatible; if you do have a high IQ, I would suggest you should try examining the erroneous dogma engendered by Christianity to glimpse the despondence it produces. Please elaborate on your reasons for believing in this celestial dictator, for you will find that not one shred of evidence favors the existence of this vindictive megalomaniac, as the dogma which Christianity supplies, conflicts greatly with the evidence which science has revealed. I’m completely fascinated because you appear an intelligent being, and what I’ve heard seems to be a preposterous, irrational fallacy.
I’m not a Christian by any stretch of the imagination, but knee-jerk anti-religious invective irks me as much as the preachy religious variety. So here are just a few of many undoubtedly high-IQ Christians for you to consider:
Gregor Mendel, Bach, Francis Collins, Olivier Messiaen, David Foster Wallace, Graham Greene, JRR Tolkien, GK Chesterton, Friedrich Schleiermacher, George Berkeley, Kurt Gödel, Christopher Isham
That Lindsay bloke wants to ban too many people. Ban him.
I read a few of your posts and find it quite stupid – you think you are all this and that and everything else…fact is so far you have been able to voice your racist and disgusting views only because you were sitting in a wealthy country and writing all your nonsense from behind a computer screen. I am an Indian from an Aristocratic background, and I have lived in New York, London and now in Italy – I read your posts about India and although I agree with some of the things you say but the majority of things you say are – forget racist…just plain STUPID. Which is what the majority of Americans are – Stupid, Stupid and Greedy. Whatever you may say about India – at least we have a royal past, and preservation of wealth in India has been much better than the US…. all the wealth you Americans think you may have right now – think again. America is a country built on “paper wealth” – finance and finance nothing else – that mechanism of banking and leverage which took the US to the top is now collapsing and will bring the US to such a rock bottom end that forget your blogging here – you will be begging to survive. At that point – I won’t feel sorry for any Americans who have to pick up food from the gutter to feed themselves – mark my words those days are not too far away for your filthy country and your filthy scummy dirty people. No one likes Americans around the world – people don’t hate India or Indians as much as they hate the US and Americans – yes India has a lot of issues no one is denying it but my dear – the US has much bigger issues …issues with mental health…issues with loneliness…depression…a lack of identity and many other things. I don’t interact with Americans now because the stupidity that comes out of their mouth is intolerable for me….you are a nouveau riche country with a tacky attitude….and you will go down just as fast as you went up….now go to hell……and stay there….
Foreverrrrrr…..
One more thing, I know the kind of American you are very well….. fact is no matter how much you write here and display your sick mind – you are just a very unhappy miserable failure of a person with your own life….and that is why you need to write and attack almost everyone from everywhere in the world except your pristine white christian folk….lol. I feel very sorry for you actually – because if you were really happy in life you would not be writing such a whole deal of negativity and rather be doing something productive and beautiful with your own life. The world is a beautiful place – and there is lots to see and do and great people to meet…..you are all closed up in your own little mind hating everyone bitter at everyone….but in the end you are only harming yourself with all this hate…no one else. It’s never too late…think about your life…get up and go somewhere for a different experience…..USA is the most rotten boring dry country in the world….there was a time when the US offered some sort of “security” to people which prompted a lot of people to move there…but now that security isn’t there either….so u have nothing to lose…get up and get out……move somewhere and find happiness….you only live once so owe it to yourself to be happy….life is so not worth it if you wake up everyday feeling angry.
I agree and seeing his profile he is labeled by people around him as pretty smart and flaunts his high IQ. So most likely, he is not gonna question his own logic or close mindedness. After all, he believes himself to be liberal. Being a liberal minded human being and being so ethnocentric just don’t go well together. Well.. I hope the writer stays happy in his know-it-all high IQ mind.
“have been called a liberal race realist. Liberal race realism is described as “a dash of race realism, positive white racial identity, the leftist view of American history, anti-racism, and a base of liberalism.””
What gibberish. BUGS exposed you as the anti-White you are last year.
Oh nice introduction about yourself and you definitely are off in your own world of disgusting white-supremacy, imperialism and pure arrogance.
Thanks honey. Now I am banning you. Run along now.
Ah pretty soon white people will be erased from existence by minorities through interracial sex. Then no more white supremacy right? Before insulting countries like India (whose current condition was brought about by the Muslims and let’s not forget those worthless British) you should consider how long your race will survive.
For hundreds of years, the extermination of white people has been a wet dream of your average South Asian. In the 1900s, priests all over North India fervently performed mass ‘havans’ in the hope that Shiva will rise and with this fabled ‘third eye’, destroy the British. If the British are worthless, what does that make you? Scum of the earth, once ruled by the worthless?
@Atheist Indian, my dealings with South Asians have been interesting to say the least. There is definetly a chip on the shoulder of many.
On top of that we’ve got Muslims wishing to convert or exterminate non-Muslims the world over.
I don’t think his race will be wiped out through interracial sex, infact the White phenotype and European genes remain intact in certain Interracial relationships. For example when an Indian guy and White girl have a relationship the child could come out looking entirely like a white person, there are several cases where there pure white models/actresses who happen to be half-indian or have an indian mother/father. Why does this happen because a large percentage of Brown people or White hispanics or ethnic people are actual Caucasians. So the gene codes for whiteness proceed and continue further. The same could be said for Black/White mixings, because if you look at Rashida Jones and Wenthworth Miller, they are look completely White on the outside but have significant Black ancestry. Interracial relationships will not mean the end of White people or the end of the European phenotype/model human completely.
I for one hope that the Whites survive, Whites have been pretty tolerant and the countries with the worlds highest standard of living are in White countries. Whites are the only group that have self-examined their racism and have been pretty fucking tolerant of minorities in their societies while giving them the best treatment in the history of societies. Whites might committed many crimes, but they have done more for the human race by their technological prowess and the sharing of it to the entire world; they may have been the most cruel but also the most moral and just race out there to exist and pretty noble too.
Xera, you are correct about whites self examining their racism, and I’d include sexism in that. I continue to be amazed out how other groups of people don’t collectively self examine any near to the same extent. This is something white people frequently come up against when they date or marry outside.
The sexism in Arabs and South Asians is off the chain. And racism? Phew! Don’t get me started.
Worst when people believe they are actually intelligent..
Just throw in some words that describe philosophy and your ignorant hatred and prejudices can look like something more than that.
Name yourself whatever you want and write your posts using al the fancy theories you want, but you are just a plain bigot. Same as your followers who are just looking ways to find a person to display their pure hatred but in ways that would be less judged. At the end, they all just wanna say “Fuck you all! White people are the best!”
You’re banned, Korean man.
You’re a fag, white trash
You’re banned, you shitty little Hindu dog.
“Although I am generally opposed to racism, I do hate Gypsies.”
Hmm. Never met in Gypsies in the US. Did you have a bad run in with some of them in Europe?
Nope. I met five of them in the US. That was five too many. Four of them conned me out of some money, and the other one had just gotten out of jail. And all five were females. If the females are this bad, imagine how bad the males are!
I think God was in a really bad mood one day, and so he created Gypsies just to piss all of us off.
Gypsies are bad today because of the suffering they went through by your people.
Why do you hate Nigerians specifically?
Don’t get me wrong… I don’t want to change your mind or tell you not to generalize, since you have clearly gone down that road (…and made up your mind, all things considered.)
It’s just that… I wouldn’t be surprised if a clearly racist or white supremacist individual hated Nigerians, but you seem to be neither of those things. The way you put it, you would even hate a white person that is a Nigerian citizen.
Just curious- I hope you’ll answer me even though you hate me (I am Nigerian)
I don’t hate you at all. Nigeria is a nation of criminals. And I and a lot of others have run into a ton of Nigerian scammers on the web, mostly romance scammers.
Well, if that’s what it is, I can’t say I blame you.
With any luck the next generation will be able to undo the damage that has been done to our name.
This is the one point where I will agree with you.
Hilarious! Came to read the BF update (who knows?!?); stayed to enjoy “the show”! Almost all of you (except those without ANY sense of humor whatsoever!!!) made an ol’ lady giggle…a lot! Thanks!
Yep, this site is more fun than a barrel of ticks! I’m not sure if anyone is all that serious around here. It’s hard to tell when people here are being serious and when they are not. Laughter is great therapy. Fill your glass of belly laugh spirits and quaff heartily. Might as well laugh, there’s nothing else to do anyway.
You must be white
I’ve read around this site and decided that Robert Lindsay is a total douche bag. Go ahead, ban me ass hole.
Robert, you pretend to be a genius, but having met 5 gypies who were scumbags, you decide ALL gypsies suck. Even a retarded child would intuitively understand that your reasoning is pure bullshit. You can ban me, and ban everyone who sees through your bullshit. But, in the end you’re the one with mental problems — too bad you can’t ban your mental problems.
Actually, there are reports that there are actually Gypsies who don’t suck. These reports are interesting and may even be valid. Therefore, I actually assume that all Gypsies don’t suck. OTOH, I have also decided that all people named Rand Dorsey definitely suck. That’s why I’m banning you sweetheart.
HAND!
PS. I would love to ban my mental problems too. Would make life so much more pleasant.
Hi Robert,
I found your site by accident, happened to have some spare time and kept reading, now I’m kind of hooked. You have some great incite on many subjects I’ve often pondered and a great sense of humor. I’m not much on contributing, so it’s very unlikely you’ll hear from me again, but I’ll be reading and nodding in agreement, or pissed off and yelling, or simply shaking my head and laughing at the computer screen.
Best Regards,
Jerry
Thanks! This site is a euphoriant, it’s addicting, and it’s not even bad for your health. As far as your reactions, that’s the general idea. Incite!
A bit subtle, perhaps? He is, however, a fan.
this is the best “about” that i have read in a long time.
very intriguing.
Thank you my friend.
Dear Robert,
I am astounded by the blatant narcissism you display. You manage to assemble a long list of impressive sounding words (often used out of context and in contradiction with your statements) and then unashamedly proclaim your racism. Whatever IQ you do actually have, you sorrily overestimate your intelligence: Statistically basing your racism towards people of Roma descent on a sample of 5 experiences is preposterous at best, and more pragmatically .. kind of proves that you’re an ass. Congratulations.
Seriously – a “pan-humanist universalist who is a White advocate”.. what on Earth are you blabbering on about
do you even actually understand the words you use or do you just enjoy hearing yourself quack? – I usually don’t respond to bollocks i read on the net, but you elevate ignorance to an artform. I tip my hat to you, Sir!
Banned Limey.
you’re absolutely right my friend
‘Presently channeling Andy Kaufman, Tony Clifton, Lenny Bruce, Ambrose Bierce, Mark Twain, H.L. Mencken, Kinky Friedman, Hunter S. Thompson and Wally Gator. Shoot first.’
Maybe there’s a God above but all I ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya.
Your sescription of yourself and your beliefs made me feel at home. Thanks!
Thank you my friend!
You have a lot of haters….almost everyone that comments here WANTS to be banned… I’ve never seen that before. At least people still comment and share their own opinions even when they know you will ban them.
I want you to know something. Several people said this; there are good people and bad people in every race, every culture, religion, ethnicity. But everyone, despite their race and culture and religion, is a human. They all have a soul. They all have feelings, and all have different life experiences that shape their own individual personalities, the personalities that make everyone different from another, even if they are the same race. Race and culture and religion don’t shape a group of people; they are a part of each human as an individual. Everyone is different and special and troublesome in their own way. Saying you hate a group of people is exactly saying you hate people you have never met. You and all the other racist people above hate people, though you haven’t gotten to know them, you haven’t looked past their culture into their hearts.
Now, I don’t ask for you to reply, because I won’t want to see what you say. I just want you to think about what I wrote out here. I am sure you have been angry before. I’m sure you’ve had some very great days. And you must have been sad many times in your life. Everyone has, despite who they are, where they are, and what ethnicity they are. I’m sure you have been hurt many times, and you must have been made fun of before based on something you cannot change; culture, looks, disabilities. And there are lots of people that have something to say about your opinions. I want you to know that every single person in the world has these feelings as well. If you cannot accept this enough to change your racial dislikes, then at least don’t state it so openly, because your single opinion, when opened and expressed to others, can hurt.
It hurts me just knowing there are people like you in the world. It almost makes me ashamed of being part of the race of Human.
Robert Linsay you are an idiot. You are just a piece of shit.
Thanks. And now you are banned.
Just discovered this site and am lost in exploration. Thank you for providing so many unique insights. I’m quite happy here.
It’s a great site! Make yourself at home!
faggot
banning smurfs looks like a lot of fun. Makes me want to start my own blog.
How does one descrie himself as a “Christian Marxist” and feel good about it? Christianity’s god is bastardized from india and Marxism by its premise calls for mass movements and mass movements require stupid people who
don’t like work and demand “gibs from everyone”. If you want a better working class you have the workers kill themselves and leave all to the ones smart enough to make a workin class of nonsheeple. Politicks can no longer rely on mass hysteria or hero-cult becuase the working class values iligence an is not stupi enough to fall for that. The degenerate then fall from all higher levels of the system and the Kali Yuga ends and so does its relgion, Jebusism. Just what do you mean by Christian Marxist?
Man i have browsed through lot of ur blogs kindly tell me what beef do u have against Hindus???
U might have trusted some of those dickheads and in turn got betrayed or they just brag about there great civilization in front of you.If it is that way then kindly consider these points(noted while living and working in India for 5 years)
1.An Indian does not trusts an Indian so u are simply out of the equation.They often try all unfair means to bring u down.
2.As of them boasting about their civilization,it would be foolish to assume them as inferior.If u go through their literature,read their discoveries or go through their real history u would be surprised that they were so civilized at one time(Indus valley civilization-They were expanding their towns when Europeans and others were living in caves).Indians do not have faith or love for their own culture but still they brag about it in front of foreigners,because it is just their tactic to make u think them as fools which makes there work easier(Some even brag that Indians are the most intelligent group of people on earth).
If u might have been with any Indian student in the States side u would have often noticed that they buy used books(those with 30 days return guarantee on them) during the semesters and return them it in 15 days when the semester gets over and demand their money back.(Just use them for free).
One of my own personal example:-Back in Kansas State University,I knew one of my Senior professor in Economics who happened to be an Indian.That guy and his wife were pretty well payed.Few years later when his first child was born he sent invited all his fellows.And u won’t believe it the guy just had one piece of cloth for the newborn and later on used those gifted clothes for like an year,and did the same when she became 1.
Even though they super suck but i must tell u that they know how to make business out of shit.U might have seen slumdog millionaire,yes thats how they run such racket of begging.Not only that there are children from orphanages who skip there school to beg on streets.Reason:Because it is an easy way to prosperity.Thy are pretty clever and won’t miss an opportunity to waste u.
Hello MR. Robert Lindsey,
I am pretty much impressed by you.To me you seem to be a man of free and pure thoughts.About me well i am an Indian Hindu(Not Hindutvadi) and a Brahman(totally opposite of others).You are the first person in West who seems to care about indians(Unlike others who hate india just because they encountered few indians)you like india and want it to perform better just like china,US and other larger economies.I got few favours to ask you:-
1.At present i am arguing few people on a blog about hindu nationalism(wanna prove that “Nationalism ruins Nations”) and i have taken examples of other type of nationalisms like Russian,Chinese and even Black,but none of it seems to work on those 19th century people so i wanna prove them wrong by Giving example of white nationalism and it’s failure would seem to work on those oldies,
2.What is your take on Atheism,as we can see the consequences of it.I am pretty much sure that maybe in 40-50 years atheism would be a dominant one.
I expect a positive reply from you and i am sorry if i have offended u in any ways.Thank you.
White nationalism has failed badly, of course, and will continue to do so into the future.
In the future, atheism will probably grow stronger, yes. However, many former atheists in the former USSR and China may begin to adopt religion.
Yes u r right Mr.Robert, nationalism definitely ruins the nation and India is a living proof of it.As of Hinduism is concerned it died the day when Buddhism was invented by few intelligent Hindus who believed in equality for all and considered Hindu ideology as an outdated one.But u don’t wanna know what happened to them ,they were all kicked out of the country and whosoever found practicing it was slayed in public.Brahmins were,are and will be the destroyers of India.They have so badly poisoned the mind of Indians and things like Upper caste supremacy around the world is embedded in the mind of indians since childhood.These Brahmins are nothing more than just fucking clever invaders who know how to snatch and claim supremacy for everything.Even the religion hinduism does not belong to them they actually invaded the Lower caste Dalit’s(to whom hinduism actually belongs) land and claim themselves to be the original inhabitant of Indian sub-continent(They came from Middle-east and central asia).These people have so badly manipulated and corrupted the democratic system to the core that without bribe or mass corruption nothing works in India.Please i would like to know your opinion on these dickheads.
Atheism in India is also on the rise,a majority of young people are getting drawn towards it,so i see that our young people won’t fall victim to these corrupters.
Very interesting site!
You are welcome Mike! Nice to have a Chinese Hispanic here.
This blog seems interesting. Think I’ll chill here for a while. My usual place is getting a bit – “out of control”. What would you consider the post that define your blog and ideology, Robert?
That’s a very tough question to answer my friend, because my ideology is all over place. But I am very much on the Left, that’s for sure. Yet I am one of the most idiosyncratic Leftists around.
Welcome aboard and make yourself at home.
AND ALSO YOU SUCK!!
The glasses make it a little hard to tell, but you appear to have the deep-set eyes and haunted look of a neanderthal introvert. Certainly your unconventional thinking supports this.
I come here by way of In Mala Fide, where you were mocked for social awkwardness.
Introvert Neanderthals do not HAVE to be socially awkward, but the deck is stacked heavily towards that outcome, due to their immersion in the Sapiens extrovert majority, which is hostile to introverts and organizes itself in antithetical social structures to the Neanderthal’s smaller insular tribes.
We’ve probably had difference in the past; I can’t recall. However, I’ve just learned how to recognize neanderthal faces, and there are too few of us to afford to be enemies.
I invite you to drop by Koanic Soul.
A post will go up at some point displaying many historical examples of the Neanderthal face, but for now those graphics are only available at our private forum. I would be happy to send them to you via email.
The facial discovery was not mine, so I don’t have sole control over the publishing schedule.
