Biology Is Blasphemy: Racist Reality Meets Anti-Racist Inanity
“Shocked, confused, and frankly horrified!” As Steve Sailer has reported, that’s how an anti-racist radiologist called Luke Oakden-Rayner sums up the reaction of himself and other medical researchers to a dark, dangerous, and deeply disturbing discovery in artificial intelligence (AI). What have they found? That AI has what Oakden-Rayner calls the “worst superpower.” It’s guilty of “medical racism,” because it can identify racial identity in X-rays and other medical images that, to human eyes, contain absolutely no clue as to race.
Emotion vs intellect
Is this a White lung or a Black lung or a Chinese lung? Humans can’t tell. But AI can. And ditto for the heart, the liver, the pancreas, the spleen, and, it appears, everything else in the human body. As that medical researcher despairingly concludes: “[T]here is no easy way to remove racial information from images. It is everywhere and it is in everything.”
Can I sympathize with his shock and horror? In fact, I can. As a kid, I once turned over a piece of old carpet in a shed and was startled and disgusted to see a host of plump and pale larvae chewing away at the underside. Ugh! But that was an instinctive reaction, not a scientific one. Today I hope I’d quickly overcome my disgust at a similar discovery with some amateur science: What species do the larvae belong to? How can they nourish themselves on carpet? How do they get water? And so on.
The blasphemous brain
Scientists quâ scientists shouldn’t be “shocked, confused and horrified” by an unexpected discovery. No, they should be pleased and interested. Unexpected discoveries, like the presence of microscopic life in tooth-scrapings or anomalies in the orbit of Mercury, are often gateways to greater things, to an expansion or overturning of previous scientific understanding. And the anti-racist radiologist Luke Oakden-Rayner and his colleagues were certainly not expecting what they have discovered:
Firstly, the performance of these [AI] models ranges from high to absurd. An AUC [Area Under the Curve, or correct identification] of 0.99 for recognising the self-reported race of a patient, which has no recognised medical imaging correlate? This is flat out nonsense.
Every radiologist I have told about these results is absolutely flabbergasted, because despite all of our expertise, none of us would have believed in a million years that x-rays and CT scans contain such strong information about racial identity. Honestly we are talking jaws dropped — we see these scans everyday and we have never noticed. (AI has the worst superpower… medical racism, Luke Oakden-Rayner, 2nd August 2021)
But in fact this discovery about racial information in “x-rays and CT scans” shouldn’t have been unexpected, let alone “shocking, confusing and frankly horrifying.” Anatomists have known for centuries that race can be identified from the skeleton — indeed, from the skull alone. If bones carry “racial information,” why not organs? And in fact, just as the skull commits blasphemy and betrays the reality of race, so does the brain inside the skull:
Modeling the 3D Geometry of the Cortical Surface with Genetic Ancestry
- Geometry of the human cortical surface contains rich ancestral information
- The most informative features are regional patterns of cortical folding and gyrification
- This study provides insight on the influence of population structure on brain shape
… Here, we demonstrate that the three-dimensional geometry of cortical surface is highly predictive of individuals’ genetic ancestry in West Africa, Europe, East Asia, and America, even though their genetic background has been shaped by multiple waves of migratory and admixture events. The geometry of the cortical surface contains richer information about ancestry than the areal variability of the cortical surface, independent of total brain volumes. Besides explaining more ancestry variance than other brain imaging measurements, the 3D geometry of the cortical surface further characterizes distinct regional patterns in the folding and gyrification of the human brain associated with each ancestral lineage. (Modeling the 3D Geometry of the Cortical Surface with Genetic Ancestry, Current Biology, Volume 25, Issue 15, 3rd August 2015)
Leftist lies about the human brain: an anti-racist propaganda poster
That brain-study was published six years ago, which is a long time by the standards of rapidly advancing modern science. But at the same time as science is advancing, leftists are doing their best to obscure, distort, and deny any of its findings that contradict leftism. If the structure and size of the brain differ by race, an obvious conclusion follows: so do the functioning of the brain and the cognitive performance of different races. How could they not? The human intellect isn’t a ghost in the machine, but a product of the machine, that is, of the immensely complex electro-chemical mechanisms of the brain. Even if all humans were running the same neurological software, we wouldn’t be running it on the same systems. Some brains are faster and more efficient, some are slower and less efficient.
“Race is everywhere and in everything”
And those differences in the brain arise in decisive part from genetic differences, both within races and between them. The same applies to every other part of the human body. As the anti-racist doctor said: “[Race] is everywhere and it is in everything.” This isn’t surprising, because “everything” — every organ and aspect of physiology — is under different selective pressures in different physical and cultural environments. For example, lungs and red blood-cells that work well in low-lying Tahiti won’t work so well in elevated Tibet. As the racist Charles Darwin taught us, it’s a basic rule of biology that living organisms become adapted to their environments. Modern humans evolved in Africa, then migrated across the world, entering new environments and acquiring new adaptations, both directly, by natural selection, and indirectly, by inter-breeding with previous human migrants like Neanderthals, Denisovans, and other now-extinct members of the Homo genus.
Leftists like to pride themselves on their intellectual sophistication and their ability to cope with “complexity.” But when it comes to human biology and evolution, they become as hungry for simplicity and comforting falsehoods as any fundamentalist Christian. Rather than accept our rich and fascinating racial differences, leftists cling to the nonsensical slogan of “There’s only one race — the human race!” What could be simpler than that? And what could be falser? Reality says that racial differences are much more than skin-deep. They’re brain-deep, lung-deep, liver-deep, kidney-deep, and everything-else-deep. Luke Oakden-Rayner, the anti-racist doctor, claims that “There is no causal pathway linking racial identity and the appearance of, for example, pneumonia on a chest x-ray. By definition these features are spurious.”
GIF from Luke Oakden-Rayner’s blog: “Is this the darkest timeline? Are we the baddies?”
The soothing simplicity of falsehood
In fact they’re “spurious” only “by definition” within the dogmas of leftism. But reality is racist and doesn’t care about leftist dogma. Disease affects different races in different ways. Leftists want to ignore this complexity and insist on the soothing simplicity of “No race but the human race!” They don’t recognize the crypto-religious nature of their own behaviour. For example, leftists jeer at and mock fundamentalist Christians for their rejection of Darwinism. The fundamentalists are disturbed by the idea of humans descending from ape-like ancestors and have sought refuge in the soothing simplicity of a God-created Adam and Eve from whom we all descend. But leftist denial of race serves the same psychological function. Indeed, its simplicity doesn’t just shield leftists from disturbing reality, but also allows them to indulge in an ancient religious custom: hunting for scapegoats.
If humans are all the same under the skin, then only one thing can explain why Blacks, for example, fail so badly and behave so badly. It can’t be anything innate or intrinsic to Blacks, so it must be an external force of evil: White racism! Whites are responsible for Black failure. Whites are oppressing and exploiting Blacks. What else could explain White success and Black failure? Well, it could be (and is) innate racial differences in cognition and psychology. That’s why the medical researchers described above are “shocked, confused, and frankly horrified” by what AI is telling them about biological reality. Their findings contradict their ideology and, like good leftists but unlike good scientists, they value ideology far above reality. In fact, they don’t seem to value reality at all, as you can see from one very telling reference in the anti-racist doctor’s blog-post. He lists examples of unacceptable racial discrimination, including the horrific fact that “Black newborns are substantially more likely to survive if they are treated by a Black doctor.”
Grinding non-Whites into the dirt
There you have it: White racism is killing Black babies! Or is it? In fact, no. Consider that patients with ingrowing toenails “are substantially more likely to survive” than patients with brain-cancer. Does this prove that chiropodists are better and more caring doctors than brain-surgeons and radiologists? Obviously not. As Greg Cochran pointed out at West Hunter, Black newborns with dangerous medical problems are more likely to be treated by White doctors than by Black doctors, who are “a much smaller percentage of specialists.” That explains the difference in survival rates. Meanwhile, Hispanic newborns in America have lower mortality and higher life-expectancy than White newborns. How can this be, when White racism and White supremacy are at work non-stop in America, remorselessly grinding Hispanics and other non-Whites into the dirt?
Anti-racism is the Church of the Damned: Whites are racist “no matter what” (see rule 10)
Well, leftists don’t ask how that can be, because they’re not interested in the truth. For leftists, ideology trumps reality, which is why they believe in censorship and suppression, not free speech and open debate. And what they can’t censor or suppress, they will distort and deny. At American Renaissance Gregory Hood has reported these highly revealing words by the leftist philosopher Daniel Dennett: “[I]f I encountered people conveying a message I thought was so dangerous that I could not risk giving it a fair hearing, I would be at least strongly tempted to misrepresent it, to caricature it for the public good. I’d want to make up some good epithets, such as genetic determinist or reductionist or Darwinian Fundamentalist, and then flail those straw men as hard as I could. As the saying goes, it’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it.”
The innate evil of Whites
Countless other leftists think in the same way, because truth does not matter to them. The message of racial difference cannot be given a “fair hearing,” because it’s too “dangerous.” So instead of the truth about race, leftists insist on a lie about race: that it doesn’t exist and that all non-White failure is due to the greed, selfishness, and malevolence of Whites. This lie incites non-White violence against Whites and justifies systemic discrimination against Whites in education and employment. But underneath that leftist insistence on the non-existence of race is a contradictory belief in the innate evil of Whites and the immaculate conception of non-Whites, who are born without hereditary stain or spot. As Gregory Hood has said at AmRen: for Whites, anti-racism is a Church of the Damned, offering no hope of salvation or redemption. Whites are racist whatever they do, say or think. The only solution is dissolution. In the words of the late, great anti-racist Dr Noel Ignatiev (1940-2019), we have to “Abolish the white race.”
The late, great Jewish anti-racist Dr Noel Ignatiev
Ignatiev edited a magazine called Race Traitor, whose catchy strap-line was “Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.” But during what New Yorker magazine called his “Long Fight against Whiteness,” he always said that “abolition” of “the white race” meant merely abolition of the concept and privileges of “whiteness,” not the physical subjugation or extermination of Whites. I don’t believe his disclaimers. Ignatiev was a White-hating extremist, which is why it should come as no surprise that he was also Jewish — a Jew pretending to be a “fellow-white” representing himself as a traitor to his race. You’ve seen above how we can read race reliably from the human body. But I think we can also read race reliably in a more literal way: from the words people use and the ideas they promote.
It is no surprise, for example, that a Jew was the inventor of the slogan “Abolish the white race” and the editor of an anti-White magazine called Race Traitor. Nor is it a surprise that Jewish biologists like Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Lewontin, Leon Kamin, and Steven Rose have led the fight to deny the existence of race. You can read their Jewish psychology in their words and I think you can also read their Jewish genetics. Psychology is under decisive genetic influence, after all. I predict that artificial intelligence could also be trained to identify race from samples of written or spoken language. Language is another aspect of human biology and that anti-racist doctor captured a central truth of human biology when he said: “Race is everywhere and in everything.” To put it another way: Biology is blasphemy because reality is racist.
Take a look at the global average IQ scores on line folks.Cold climates selected out for intelligence.
European Jews are high IQ because of their hybrid genes:Euro/Semitic. Indigenous Jews and the closely related Arabs of of Palestine have much lower IQ’s.It is the “whiteness ” of Ashkenazi Jews that has given them high intelligence.The anti white position os coming from the Talmud-not scriptures.
D’Souza recently pointed out the superior performance of blacks from all nations in Olympic track-suggesting racial differences physically.His comments horrified the Left.Amazed he is still on You Tube!
The BLM position of no racial differences in intelligence is absurd.Equality of outcome is not going to work or it will degrade the USA.Successful US blacks are typically mulatto hybrids ;as with hybrid Jews.
The recent Leftist AMA proposal to drop gender from birth certificates is absurd also..Gender is not a “social construct!”
The AI technology has a HUGE upside for diagnostic medicine.The ancestry analysis is fascinating.It may eclipse genetic studies.
Let’s get real!
Ashkenazi jews don’t even have that high an intelligence. Ashkenazis make up roughly 45% of Israel and Israel has an average IQ of 95. If, as is often told, Ashkenazis have an average IQ of 114, then we get the following:
.45*114 + .55*x = 95,
This implies x is roughly 80, i.e., the average IQ of 55% of Israel is roughly 80. Does anyone really believe that to be true?
The reality is the supposed high IQ of Ashkenazis was based on very small selection sizes to outright statistical fraud.
Unz had articles suggesting that the vaunted Ashkenazi IQ has been slipping of late. Very interesting alternative it is to think that it was never so high to begin with–just the result of smoke and mirrors, and Unz was just reporting unadulterated data. Nevertheless Ed Dutton’s thesis that our 99% childhood survival rate is loading the population with spiteful mutations is salient. The only answer is (portentous music) eugenics, like what China is working hard on.
The decline of the Ashkenazi IQ may be the result of outbreeding. Is that good?
“Cold climates selected out for intelligence.” I know many brilliant men, Jensen, Rushton, Lynn, etc. have said this but how could Ancient Greece With Plato, Aristotle, Euclid, etc. have flourished in such a warm climate? This has always been a question that has troubled me.
Some brains moved south
Read Prof. MacDonald’s book on the foundations of Western Man. Long before the Mongols conquered south and east and somewhat west from their northern grasslands, the Indo-Europeans went farther, conquering all the way to India, all of the Mid East, and Europe save Scandinavia. I believe they also went east and were known as the Xiongnu by the Chinese. Before the Indo European expansion they had thousands of years to evolve the smarts to live in the north on the Russian Steppes before learning pastoralism and developing cavalry.
The history of Jews and Gentiles differs in at least one way. We Indo-Europeans have been killing each other in mass slaughter campaigns for millennia, depleting much of our best genetic stock, e.g., WWI’s loss of the “Flower of British Manhood”. Think for a moment of the Roman Legionaries. What kind of men were these who walked from Rome to Scotland, fighting their entire way, with almost no supply lines for replenishment. They were promised land when they returned for their service. This was not received in many cases, mirroring our soldiers and the promises of the Veterans Agencies, from the present to ancient times.
Meanwhile the Jews gained from almost any war, which meant improvement in absolute terms as well as relative ones, where the host nation was weakened, thus allowing more opportunities for exploitation.
Jews also benefited from the Flynn Effect of seeking higher education, abstract cognitive work, and elite positions. Think of kings betraying their own people and tasking Jews to collect taxes using there sharp pencils and inbred hatred for the Goyim.
Face it, the real enemy is US. We gave away everything, over hundreds of years. Even during Bach’s epoch, a Jew named Goldberg was able to contract the Master to write the Goldberg Variations. For every job held by a semite, a Gentile was displaced, money aggregated to be used against Christians (who by cruel fate did not inherit Buddhism). The era of Back was the beginning of the consolidation of wealth and power under the inspiration of Amsel Rothchild (Red Shield).
The Russian Romanoffs terminated business dealings primarily with Germans and Germany and switched to Jewish merchants. Better prices? Amoral practices like bribes and kickbacks? Blackmail? Stock in trade.
Change must come from within the Indo-European, or there is no hope
Leftists easily succumb to mass psychosis. Doctor, lawyer, teacher, even the lowly anti-racist radiologist is afflicted. Assigning racism to anything contradicting their ideology is a slam-dunk example of severe and persistent mental illness. Tragically, this form of mental illness is on the rise. Nice article.
“‘Race’, gender, class”…”Diversity, Inclusion, Equ[al]ity”….Wokeism…a pathological cult, imposed top-down…as a supposed opposite of Nazism…but by similar methods of totalitarian propaganda…the literal holocaust of heteronormative, cisgendered, able-bodied, traditionally nationalist white-skinned males, to follow the statue iconoclasm and cultural censorship, has yet to come…but easier to get them to gas(light) themselves.
So true, Deb. Righists, i.e., Whites aka Caucasians aka Indo-Europeans, have succumbed and embraced narcolepsy, somnambulism, denialism, and acute conceitism. Got that? WE gave it all away. We have been sick for a long time.
My comments are being censored.
Understanding racial physical and mental differences is not” racist.”
The current ascension of Critical Race Theory in the public mind suggests to me that the Left, the Democrat/commie coalition, has finally thrown in the towel regarding the existence of race. Yes, Black Lives Matter because race matters. The science cannot be denied anymore. The political. cultural answer is to go full-bore on the offensive. The White race matters and it is the problem. Everything it touches is poison. Leave no gap for the real science to enter.
“The science cannot be denied anymore.”
“Leave no gap for the real science to enter.”
Say what?
Knowledge of biological variations – families and “races” – actually helps medicine, not the reverse. Some people apparently oppose gene therapy and eugenic family planning because they want future generations to be more sick, disabled, stupid or criminal than at present. “All the world a hospital” (to quote Goethe, or possibly Nietzsche) – but with fewer surgeons, junior doctors and experienced nurses to cope; SJWs a different matter. Si futurum requiris nunc circumspice,
Maybe the best and smartest thing whites could do would be to admit to every sin that leftists accuse European mankind of committing and then recommend self-banishment of the entire race, so that POC could live free of all racism and white supremacy. Sounds good to me. “Problem” solved.
It’s not at all unusual to note that the people who religiously deny the existence of race (such as innate differences in physicality, behavioral traits, cognitive abilities, and so forth) are now busily pietistically promoting the precept that there are no differences between the sexes (of which there are two), and therefore, one can be any gender they wish to be (of which the observable, demonstrable examples number four: boy, girl, man, and woman, defined by sex and chronological age; never by preference). Recent scientific research has shown that there are over 6500 differences in genes between male and female relatives, summarized here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4475252/There-6-500-genetic-differences-men-women.html
The only reason an anti-racist “scientist” like Oakden-Rayner (have you ever noticed that hyphenated surnames are almost always a tocsin of mental illness?) would be upset by such a discovery is either because of a fear of being branded a heretic by the abbots and ejected from the priory (i.e. lose funding and the chance for tenure); or possibly because he (she? zir? it?) is simply intellectually unqualified to hold his posting. Such a discovery will likely be able to save millions of lives over the next decade, because the AI is also capable of making logical inferences about the probabilities a regular human may not make. For example: “This bump might be cancerous, since this patient is black, a male, has sickle-cell anemia, and is over the age of 45 years, and this type of cancer is most prevalent in this group; therefore, a biopsy is strongly recommended”, whereas the Pakistani doctor looking at the x-ray might not even think of such a thing, because the occurrence of that cancer is so low in the majority of his patients. What excites a scientist often offends a zealot.
I personally find it all very heartening. For all too long I saw race as just a social construct. I thought that I wasn’t “racist” because I was so open-minded, and that all race-related issues could someday be transcended. Now I see ever more that race has a scientific basis. Now, not only do I not feel bad about being racist, but recognize I am racist “no matter what”. When a left-leaning colleague laments about how there are too many white people working at my workplace and wishes there were more POC, instead of rolling my eyes, or getting defensive, I say with full honesty, “No, that’s a terrible thing to wish for. I wouldn’t want any more POC to suffer the indignities and discrimination of the systemic racism that is so inherent to this entire organization. I believe they should be given a space away and apart from us overbearing white people, not used as some token gesture to show how enlightened we are. Don’t you see the harm that people like you are doing to people of color?”. Now, I am no longer just a covert white nationalist, but indeed, and indisputably, the most woke and sympathetic person in the room. For I am that which so stridently seeks to save the poor minorities for the horrors of my people. It is a burden I am all too eager to carry. 🙂
Remember that 1969 pop song, ‘Melting Pot’?
“Take a pinch of white man
Wrap it up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of red indian boy.
Curly, black and kinky
Mixed with yellow Chinky
If you lump it all together
Well, you’ve got a recipe for a get-along scene
Oh, what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true
You know, you know.
Chorus :
What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough to take the world and all it’s got
Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee-coloured people by the score.”
ALL THESE WORDS ABOUT RACISM – WHEN MEANT TO UNDERMINE WHITENESS
IS PURE AND SIMPLE GARBAGE.
If leftists could tell the full truth, without severe career repercussion, watch their “mental illness” vaporize. Then the failure to tell the truth could be viewed as mental illness. The left holds these views not due to their own cognition, but rather due to the actual mental illness of their Jewish boss, who pressures for total conformity.
The jews want to “deconstruct” us – Americans – just like they are “deconstructing” the Palestinians. “Whites are a social construct.” “Palestinians are an invented people.” It’s not a coincidence the jews use the same rhetoric against us they use against the Palestinians. What they want is GENOCIDE – against the Palestinians, and against Whites of European heritage.
“Rather than accept our rich and fascinating racial differences.”
That’s what it’s all about Tobias. Thanks always for your great work.
Unfortunately for us, the Left and the Jews only accept ‘their’ differences, whatever those differences might be. They ‘hate,’ especially the Jews, our differences. That is for sure.
There is no asininity greater than that which disgraces the Left. Just look at that “10 ways you can actively reject your white privilege” if you need an emetic.
These are the same “people” who’d have us think that
*men are women if they say so;
*castration produces a female and a hysterectomy a male;
*riots featuring ARSON and ROBBERY (usually looting) are mostly peaceful protests if done by blacks;
*a career criminal who dies of fentanyl-poisoning is legitimately an object of reverence and martyrdom, because black;
*defunding police is the intelligent response to crime;
*Whites can’t be the objects of racism;
*covid-1984 is so deadly, despite its HUGE recovery rate (toward and over 99%, depending on age) that little children must be terrorized and deprived of optimal oxygen intake by having their respiratory organs blocked, BUT Black Lies Matter and antifa can “protest” en masse unmasked, and that’s kosher; and it’s fine that hundreds of thousands of strangers can pour into the USA, bringing the infection rate in the border states up by 900%….
We’ve entered a dystopian Dark Age in which insanity–literal insanity–is imposed on the public, which is coerced in various ways to forbear objecting, with the few individuals who have yet enough gumption being censored and banned.
Then there’s CRT. The following are new. I welcome anyone here to use them as a resource, for disrupting school-board hearings, arguing, refuting.

You guys are really confused! Actually there is no such thing as race, only species, but I’ll leave that for another discussion, and use your terms.
Race is ridiculously simple: If you aren’t genetically African, you can’t be human. African DNA=Modern Human
All humans on the planet have African DNA, Africans are the only ones that can be 100% human, White Europeans are the least human people on the planet.
In fact White Europeans have somewhere between 60-70% of their population that have so much sub-human DNA that they’re essentially not like modern humans. White European Republicans are actually a different Species, and you can prove it with DNA, and simple observations, see here: Liberal vs. Conservative: A Neuroscientific Analysis with Gail Saltz | B… https://youtu.be/kI-un8rHP14.
So does this make a difference? Well, it makes a HUGE difference.
1. Not a single foundation has EVER come from the mind of an European… not one! Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Religion, Architecture, Atomic Science, everything comes from mostly Black Africans, some from White Africans(Jews). The rest from Asians, and others, these are just FACTS!
2. As stunning as that is, it’s not the most important reason why Africans are totally superior to anyone else.
a. Africans are genetically superior. If you mix a White European with a Chinese, you get back a Chinese. If you mix a White European with an Indian, you get back an Indian, and the same goes for a Black African… noticing a trend here, the person that is the MOST human always wins a direct confrontation between genes. Everyone loses against the most human… Black Africans.
b. The unique thing about Black Africans that really sets them apart is something called “Genetic Diversity”. Black Africans have genetic diversity that is off the charts. The genetic diversity between two Africans in the same tribe is much higher than the genetic diversity difference between a White European and any other group.
Lack of genetic diversity means that you are only capable of producing humans like yourself, not new humans through evolutionary means.
Genetic diversity is directly related to the ability to evolve, just google “evolution and genetic diversity”. The next version of humans will come from the place where this version came from… Black Africans.
These are the FACTS of race that Europeans don’t want to talk about, especially the Republican variety, because they’re on a dead branch of humanity. This element of Europeans have held back White Liberal Europeans for years.
And more important, Fallon, Whites are EVIL, especially the cisgendered male ones.
Are you Jimmy Fallon, the Affirmative Action TV “comedian”, who isn’t funny?
Sort of agree with you Poupon Marx, The absurdity of his assertions nearly killed me: I almost died from laughter.
Mr. Fallon you should be writing fantasy-science fiction with a huge dollop of humour- you have the potential. Look forward to your next comment – please don’t make it so funny next time.
Again Mr.Langdon, thankyou, putting fine racial justice realities out there in the online education sphere. Alas, did you really need to put the picture of truly malevolent looking Noel Ignatiev in you essay. He sported a vile looking countenance.
FALLON–
Lol! Great comic relief! We need that here occasionally, I mean in this comments section where we’re inclined to be so very serious and severe!
You mimic to perfection the White dupe who’s been successfully taught self-hate, who at the same time–lol–pities and patronizes the very people he says are superior to Whites. Yes, friend, there are today many simpletons of that ilk, who in crypto-christian fashion think self-effacement is moral grandeur, and even credit afrocentric myths meant to mitigate blacks’ understandable problems of self-esteem….
Among your best jokes is saying that race doesn’t exist and then talking, throughout the rest of your skit, about White people and black people! Classic! And not only do you talk as though differences between human groups do exist: you argue that blacks are superior! Yep–you’re one helluvan anti-racist!
The only adverse criticism I have to make is that you say one actually true thing–that black Africans have no Neanderthal lineage (though the same can’t be said for perhaps a majority of black Americans, who bear some degree of European admixture–an average of 24% according to Bryc et al, 2015–and therefore also some Neanderthal heritage). Yes, the unmixed Sub-Saharan African does not descend at all from Neanderthals, who by the way were “archaic humans” and not non-human, just not homo sapiens or “modern humans.” Trouble is, if one equates “modern human” with advancement and Neanderthal with backwardness, one runs afoul of inconvenient realities. The people with the most Neanderthal genetic heritage are East Asians, not Europeans (Cf. Wall et al, 2013; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23410836); and East Asians top the world list in average IQ and have many scientific/technological achievements to their credit, while blacks occupy the cellar in average IQ everywhere and their intellectual achievements are only the stuff of afrocentric mythology.
Well, aside from that one intrusion of fact, your routine is superb, hilarious! My congrats.
Yep: Whites (huh? who might THEY be?!) never achieved anything–except, to start with what’s at your fingertips, the computer (Charles Babbage), the Internet (Vint Cerf), the World Wide Web (Tim Berners-Lee), and the harnessing of electricity that powers them all and so much else (Alessandro Volta)–lol!
Even pigmentation has some medical significance, e.g. UV protection. Of course, “race” is not (just) skin-deep. There are more important variations, from brain to brawn. The evolutionary development in challenging northern latitudes of white people with relatively high intelligence does not mean that black skin and stupidity in a given individual are directly and causatively linked, but the coincidence of traits in historic populations has a general statistical relevance to “social constructs” today.
In the UK there were complaints from some black patients that “racism” prevent their “own” sickle-cell disease from being properly recognised and treated. It was ANTI-racism that was responsible by denying racial diversity in illness. Cape Coloureds and Ashkenazim may have similar rates of Chron’s disease but not Tay-Sachs. “Racial” research is necessary, interesting and humanitarian.
