INTRODUCTION 1. For years, people have professed to want to have an honest conversation about race. Yet any participant in those “honest” conversations who dares to challenge the prevailing orthodoxy is censored. It’s time for a truly honest and open conversation on race.
2. The myth that human races aren’t real is the single most destructive lie the West has ever told itself. Western countries are currently undergoing a process of irreversible, unprecedented demographic change that is entirely premised on the false notion that people are interchangeable—that, under the same environmental and societal circumstances, a country comprised of white people and a country comprised of black people would behave exactly the same. This belief is so ridiculous on its face that it can only be truly held by those who have been subject to years of emotional and mental manipulation.
3. Here, I intend to argue in three parts. First, I will demonstrate how racial egalitarians are wrong and that race is a real, viable concept which accurately and effectively labels large groups of people. Second, I will demonstrate that races exhibit average group differences in a variety of ways, such as intelligence and behavior. Lastly, I will demonstrate how societies are defined by the racial compositions of their members, and how changing that composition inevitably changes the society itself—for the dramatically worse, in the case of the West’s future.
4. At a time when even making a light-hearted race joke is grounds for being fired from your job and treated as a social pariah and being a white person who wears a Chinese style dress is enough to generate nationwide anger, it comes as no surprise that many reading this article are going to be hesitant. Since we were children, the intellectual elites have hammered into our heads time and time again that every race of people is exactly the same, that those who deny this equality are “racists”, and that “racists” are not only wrong—they’re guilty of moral failure. I know this subject matter is sensitive. I know there’s a temptation to remain ignorant and convince yourself that the status quo about race is backed by brilliant scientists who—surely—have defeated the backward racists on the battlefield of ideas. But I humbly ask my readers: Consider keeping an open mind while you read this. Consider that your currently deeply held convictions on the merits of racial egalitarianism are NOT the consequence of rigorous scientific research at all—but of naked political self-interest that most are too scared to challenge. Consider that you’ve been lied to. RACE IS REAL
5. The scientific community and everyday people of all ages recognize race intuitively and empirically.
6. Even babies recognize race. Babies as young as six months old exhibit racial biases in favor of their own race and against other races1 . White babies prefer other whites, and black babies prefer other blacks.
7. Scientists can nearly perfectly estimate someone’s race by examining their DNA. A 2005 study out of UC San Francisco2 of 3,636 participants found that researchers could guess someone’s self-identified race based on their genes with 99.86% accuracy.
8. We are often told by racial egalitarians that race isn’t real because it’s a social construct. These egalitarians tell us that this is because the majority of human genetic variation (85%) is found within races rather than between them (15%). As such, they say we cannot make claims such as, “Asian people are more intelligent than black people.” This makes no sense. Instead of race and intelligence, consider gender and height. There is far more genetic variation on height within genders than between them—the height difference between the tallest and shortest woman is far greater than the height difference between the average man and average woman. And yet, would anybody say that the average man is not taller than the average woman? Of course not. The average male is roughly six inches taller than the average female. It doesn’t mean that there are no short men and no tall women—but it DOES mean that men are taller than women.

9. We are also told that race isn’t real because we cannot agree on consistent definitions of what each race is. Racial egalitarians will point to fringe cases to try to disprove the rule. For example, they will ask: Are Italians/Irish white? They’re both widely considered white now, but racial egalitarians will argue that they weren’t always viewed as white in America. (Of course, this isn’t even true anyway—both of those groups were labeled as “white ethnics” when they first arrived en masse to America in the early 20th century3 10.) What about groups with mixed European admixture? Are Turks white? Ashkenazi Jews? Armenians? Sicilians? These questions are intended only to obfuscate, and are never asked in good faith. Just because we cannot say for sure whether cyan/turquoise/teal are blue or green does not mean that “blue” and “green” do not exist. 10.Accepting that racial groups have somewhat arbitrary cutoffs makes far more sense than completely dismissing the notion that those groups exist at all. Besides, non-white racial groups such as “black” are never deconstructed.
11.Racial groups have been subjected to tens of thousands of years of divergent evolutionary pressures. If this evolutionary pressure is sufficient to cause races of people to develop entirely different physical traits, it shouldn’t be unreasonable to consider that they could also evolve different mental and behavioral traits too.

RACES VARY IN ATHLETICISM
12.Races of people are measurably different on average by various metrics, such as IQ, crime, and athleticism. While even mentioning the first two is grounds for expulsion from polite society, many people openly recognize differences in athleticism. As such, we will begin there.
13.Blacks have more Type II (fast-twitch) muscle fibers compared to whites, who have more Type I (slow-twitch) muscle fibers. The former fire faster and are better equipped for anaerobic exercises, but also increase the likelihood of certain cardiorespiratory diseases. The latter fire slower and possess greater
Joshua Gray
Follow on from 13) aerobic capacities. This also partially explains why blacks are at a greater risk of heart disease and obesity. Within Type II fibers, they can be further broken down into Type IIx and Type IIa. The Type IIx fibers have even more anaerobic potential than both Type IIa and Type I11 . Blacks have relatively more of the Type IIx fibers.
14.Small differences in averages show up much more prominently at the extremes. While the average black person may only be slightly faster than the average white person, these differences become extremely apparent at the top levels. From 1984 to now, every single finalist in the Olympic men’s 100-meter dash has been of African heritage12 . In 2015, the NBA was 75% black13 despite blacks being 12% of the U.S. population.
15.Japan’s best up-and-coming sprinter is Abdul Hakim Sani Brown, a 19-year-old born to a Ghananian father and Japanese mother. Brown won the 100-meter dash at the 2015 World Youth Championships, setting a new global record. Japan’s population is 127 million, and there are only approximately 3,000 people of African origin in the entire country, or 0.002%. If it were really due to chance, the odds that their best sprinter would just happen to be black is roughly 1 in 42,000
Julian Powell
16.Racial egalitarians will argue that the best sprinters are almost all West Africans, while the best distance runners are almost all East Africans (particularly Kenyans), so broadly classifying them as “black” is too imprecise. It is certainly true that there are genetic divisions within each race—particularly Africans. However, broad racial classifications still tell us much about certain athletic traits on average—particularly in diaspora countries such as America, where the black population is of mixed African heritage rather than just one country or region. Further, we will observe that these intra-racial divisions matter much less with regard to more societally pressing factors such as intelligence and criminality. RACES VARY IN INTELLIGENCE
Jonathan James
17.In America, East Asian IQ is approximately 106, white IQ is approximately 101, and African-American IQ is approximately 85. There is little debate that these are the approximate averages—rather, the debate is whether the differences are due entirely to environmental factors, or due to a mix of genetic and environmental factors. I will argue that the latter is correct. 18.IQ gaps even persist when scientists attempt to adjust for environmental factors. In a 1992 study by Richard Weinberg and Sandra Scarr4 , children of 101 transracial adoptive families were tested for intelligence at ages 7 and 17. All of these children were adopted into similar homes—middle and upper-middle class white Minnesota families. Yet their intelligence scores still varied greatly by race. At age 17, black kids who were adopted into white homes scored 89 on their IQ tests. White kids adopted into white homes scored 106. This 18-point IQ gap is remarkably similar to the IQ gap between whites and blacks in America in general. Even more interestingly, half-black children who were adopted into white homes scored 99 on their IQ tests, almost perfectly in between the black scores and the white scores, even though in most cases the parents did not even know the children were only half black. This indicates that nature, not just nurture, plays a serious role in racial IQ gaps.
Sebastian Turner
19.Some racial egalitarians have claimed IQ tests are not fair—that they are inherently biased against blacks since they are primarily written by white people and there are cultural gaps in knowledge. This does not explain why Asians consistently outperform whites on IQ, despite a supposed pro-white bias. Further, some scientists have attempted to create “culture-blind” IQ tests to adjust for this. Raven’s Progressive Matrices is exactly that—it’s a non-verbal IQ test intended to analyze fluid reasoning. And yet when the test was administered in South Africa, the same racial gaps showed up once again. Africans averaged 44 of 60 questions correct, implying an IQ of 84. Whites averaged 54 of 60 questions correct, implying an IQ of 1045 . In fact, this IQ gap is slightly LARGER than what we normally see, and the difference in African-white scores was greatest on the questions with the highest g-factor, or correlation with general intelligence.
20.Gaps in intellectual and academic performance between races were never expected to last. In a 2003 ruling, the Supreme Court defended affirmative action by writing, “The Court expects that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today.” And yet, 15 years after that ruling, racial gaps appear unchanged. Over fifty years after Jim Crow, these gaps remain stubbornly persistent.
Luis Kelly
21.As noted in the athleticism section, small differences in mean show up much more intensely at the statistical extremes. Of 206 Nobel prize winners in physics, 0 are black. Of 198 Nobel laurates in physiology or medicine, 0 are black. Of 174 Nobel laureates in chemistry, 0 are black. Twenty percent of the world is black, yet not a single black person has ever won a science Nobel prize. RACES VARY IN CRIMINALITY
22. Races also vary in terms of the rates at which they commit crime. Even adjusting for other factors such as poverty and education levels does not come close to explaining the gaps in crime rates. Blacks make up 12% of America’s population but 37% of its inmates and 52% of its convicted murderers.
23. Majority black counties with median incomes of nearly $100,000 have more murders per capita than even lower-class majority white counties6 . American Indians have nearly the same average household income as American blacks, yet the latter commits over twice as much murder per capita. The correlation between violent crime and the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic is 0.81. The correlation between violent crime and the percentage of the population that is unemployed or in poverty is just 0.35 and 0.36 respectively Overall, knowing the racial demographics of an area is a better indicator of its crime rate than knowing any other single demographic factor.
Xavier King
24.We are told that massively high black crime rates are largely due to a history of persecution—after all, blacks were slaves, and Jim Crow only ended up half a century ago. We are told that America’s history of racism is alive today, and it is because blacks suffer from this racism that they commit more crime. But if racism drives crime, then surely as racism declines, so too should the black crime rate.
25.That has not happened. According to Pew, incarceration rates between blacks and whites have actually widened since 19608 . While racism still exists, certainly it is a weaker force than it was during segregation—during a time when whites and blacks were not even allowed to use the same public spaces or water fountains. Indeed, sociologists have found that racist attitudes have continued declining over time9 . Yet the crime data does not reflect this.
26.Racial egalitarians will counter that black arrests are largely a consequence of bias on the part of the police. They tell us that if only police treated racial groups equally, the black arrest rate would surely fall. Crime victimization data indicates otherwise. Every year, the Justice Department surveys victims of crimes and asks them various questions about what happened—who committed the crime against you, when did it happen, etc. This victimization data—the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) matches up quite well with the arrest data
Hunter Lewis
27.Black vs. non-black crime rates are also remarkably consistent across countries. In England and Wales, blacks make up 2.7% of the population but 13.7% of its inmates. In Canada, blacks are 3% of the population but roughly 10% of inmates. Is this due to Canada’s history of Jim Crow segregation, or Wales’ history of plantation slavery? I have been unable to find a single country with a sizable black minority population in which the black minority does not commit seriously outsized (at least 2.5x population percentage) rates of violent crime. From Brazil to Israel to France, the rule remains intact across geographies.
28.In 2013, the black homicide rate was 10.48 per 100,000 (4,379 black murder arrests). That same year, the white homicide rate was 1.55 per 100,000 (3,799 white murder arrests). The black murder rate is remarkably similar to subSaharan African countries—such as Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Togo, Gambia, and Angola—all of which had intentional homicide rates of approximately 10 to 11 per 100,000. The white murder rate is remarkably similar to various European countries—such as Macedonia, Slovakia, Belgium, Finland, and Hungary—all of which had intentional homicide rates between approximately 1.3 and 1.8 per 100,00010 . Black American towns are strikingly similar in crime to black countries, and white American towns are strikingly similar in crime to white countries. Races appear to regress to mean racial behavior in terms of violent crime.
29.Overall, black criminality persists across both time and countries. If it were really simply due to systematic racism, these similar figures would be a shocking coincidence.
Xavier Foster
SOCIETY IS DOWNSTREAM FROM RACE 30.Once we accept that race is real, every coincidence about why certain societies are the way that they are disappears.
31.Suddenly, it makes sense why every majority black city and country on the planet—without exception—is characterized by relatively high levels of crime and dysfunction. Now it makes sense why Haiti and the Dominican Republic can occupy the same island, have similar histories with colonialism, yet the former is dysfunctional while the latter is fine. Now it makes sense why Japan got nuked twice and instantly rebuilt itself, but African countries which were colonized anywhere from 50 to 300 years ago have still not been able to do so. Now it makes sense why Iceland could be a volcanic island with practically no arable land floating in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, but still become the single safest and nearly the most prosperous country on Earth. Does anyone reasonably believe that Iceland would have become Iceland if it were inhabited by Somalians?
Hudson Peterson
32.Despite objections from African supremacist revisionists, Sub-Saharan Africa has never been prosperous. Before colonialism, black Africans—even those in the largest black empires such as Songhai and Mali—still had not invented two-story buildings, written language, domesticated animals, or the wheel. Ancient Egyptians were not black—they were most closely related to modern Near Eastern and European people14 . A study out of the University of Tuebingen found no black African DNA which they called “pretty representative” of the Middle East and North Africa overall at the time. There was a short period (about six decades) in which Nubian armies seized the Egyptian throne, leading to five Nubian pharaohs who had the blessing of the Egyptian priesthood. However, the Egyptian population itself was certainly not black, the overwhelming majority of its leadership was never black, and civilization itself was in no way built by blacks.
33.In the words of British historian Hugo Trevor-Roper, “Perhaps, in the future, there will be some African history to teach. But at present there is none, or very little: there is only the history of the Europeans in Africa. The rest is largely darkness, like the history of pre-European, pre-Columbian America. And darkness is no subject for history.”

34. Past waves of immigrants to America were able to assimilate because they were Europeans. Even when many first arrived here in large waves at the start of the 20th century, Irish, Italian and Jewish immigrants committed far less major crime than Mexicans and blacks15 . These groups were more or less entirely integrated into the mainstream within 30 or 40 years of arriving. By the time JFK was elected president in 1963, anti-Irish sentiment was dealt its final blow. This contrasts sharply with non-European, non-Asian immigrants. Mexicans have been in the country in large numbers for over a century, yet still have not integrated well. Third and fourth-generation Mexicans have actually underperformed second-generation Mexicans in terms of educational attainment and economic status16 . Mexican-American average IQ is 87, only slightly above African-American IQ.
35.Across the Western world, governments and people are beating themselves up over why they have completely failed to integrate brown and black waves of immigrants. There is much hand-wringing in Germany over why, 60 years later, Turks remain entirely unintegrated. France is scratching its head as to why it has had so much trouble bringing North Africans into the fold. And white Americans repeatedly blame themselves—blame their own “racism”—for their inability to bring newly arrived Latino immigrants up to white levels of educational attainment, crime rates, and income. These countries blame institutional racism, and when there is no overt racism to be found they instead find fault with “implicit racial bias”, which although unseen must surely be the cause. Perhaps the real answer is much simpler—the countries didn’t change; the immigrants did.
Nolan Bailey
Ill throw in a couple things I want to say I guess, you have probably covered it already.
Race is a reality of human groups that have been historically reproductively isolated for thousands of years and accrued population-wide genetic differences in the averages of traits as a result.
There is a point at which we determine what is a group and what is not, based on what we find to be useful (ie, grants information). This is where you get the social constructivist argument, that race is merely identified subjectively or some nonsense. Yes it is defined by us, but it is only due to the fact that there is some natural division there that we are putting labels upon. The existence of a label does not mean there isnt gradation along the labels. The fact that the population average isnt necessarily prescriptive to a given individual is absolutely true; but definitively when dealing with a population, the characteristics of the population as a whole are what matter.
It is disgusting that we find this concept controversial in humans, but not any other species. Race is literally just a colloquial version for humans of the regional labels biologists would use while examining genetically differing populations of any other sort of animal.
36.While this article has been largely matter-of-fact up to this point, I would be remiss if I concluded without speculation regarding the consequences of rapid demographic change. The stakes are too high to do otherwise.
37.America is set to become majority-minority by 2045. White Brits will suffer the same fate by the late 2060s. If current trends persist, they are set to be followed by Germany, France, Sweden, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Greece all within a century.
38.If anything, the rate of change in these countries could speed up even more drastically. There are currently one billion sub-Saharan Africans. By the end of the century, that number will quadruple to four billion. Do you think those four billion people will be content to remain in Nigeria, and Ghana, and Somalia? Or will they want to come to New York, and London, and Paris? What would you want to do if you were one of them? Apply the same thought process to the booming populations of the Arab world, India, and Southeast Asia.
Ayden Martin
39.This is the most drastic demographic transformation in modern history, and it’s not due to warfare or force but rather due simply to voluntary migration trends. Entire nations which were ethnically homogenously European for millennia will become majority non-white in a matter of just several generations. Perhaps if there were no biological differences between groups of people, this change would be purely aesthetic and wouldn’t merit objection. Sure, French people would end up with darker skin, but French culture and French history and French society would remain intact. But if the egalitarians are wrong, we are on the precipice of the greatest demographic nightmare in Western history.
40.Indeed, if the egalitarians are mistaken, and current migratory trends continue— both of which appear quite likely— London will become Lagos, Madrid will become Mogadishu, and New York will become Nairobi.
41.It is not too late to correct course, to seize control of the steering wheel and turn the ship around. The Western world can slam its hatches shut now if only there is the will to do so. But I am concerned that, rather than course correct, too many Westerners are perfectly content with their cushy lives; content to stay seated in the comfort of their own cabins below the deck, repeating to themselves that old egalitarian lie as the ship sails ever closer to disaster. That lie is dangerous. Indeed, it is the most dangerous lie to have ever infected our society. Only the truth will set us free, and only the truth will spare us from rivers flowing with much blood.
old news and older talking points leftwing retards will simply deny everything and use personal experience and cherrypick everything to disapprove the notion of race
