Ian Tattersall on Stephen Jay Gould

/in , , /by

The great thing about being a liberal/radical academic is that even falsifying data isn’t enough to seriously tarnish one’s reputation. Franz Boas’s finagling of his data on the skull shapes of immigrants in pursuit of his ethnopolitical agenda certainly hasn’t hurt his reputation, and Ian Tattersall’s remembrance of Stephen Jay Gould in the current issue of Natural […]

Lawrence Auster on the Role of Jews in the Dispossession of White, Christian America

/5 Comments/in , , , /by

Lawrence Auster is one of those rare Jews (Paul Gottfried is another) who seems to have an appreciation for the traditional people and culture of America and an understanding of the role of Jews in White dispossession — not that Auster and I haven’t had our disagreements (“Lawrence Auster gets unhinged”).  Auster recently posted a […]

Ron Unz on Janet Mertz

In his review, Nick Romeo summarizes the central […]

His point: Liberals decry the toxic rhetoric of the right, conservatives blame the toxic rhetoric of the left. When attacked – again heedless of ideology or consistency – the gladiators instantly […]

Those Irish-American racists

/1 Comment/in /by

NYT has a recent  article complaining about ethnic solidarity of Jewish communities in New York and their connections to Israel. Complicating the current embrace from abroad is the gated community’s extreme insularity. Borough Park and Williamsburg are the most Jewish neighborhoods in the city, a demographic makeup that critics say illustrates the enclave’s entrenched xenophobia, a dark flip side, perhaps, […]
