LIE 1: RACE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH LOOTING, CRIME AND SOCIAL DYSFUNCTION IN NEW ORLEANS
LIE 2: RACE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH PRESIDENT BUSH'S SLOW RESPONSE TO THE DISASTER

 LIE 1: RACE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH LOOTING, ETC.

The flat earth believing, race denying, craven, neocon blenders and Bush-shills are such crackpots that it's getting more and more difficult to listen to them without busting a gut with laughter at their stupidity and intellectual cowardice.

I heard a caller to neocon Radio Pudgy's program the other day who said that he lived in St. Tammany Parish which is right next to New Orleans. The caller then told Pudgy that the caller knew the real reason why people were acting so bad in New Orleans and so nice in St. Tammany Parish. I perked up and was ready to be enlightened.

The caller's explanation: "New Orleans is mostly Democrat and St. Tammany Parish is mostly Republican." I kid you not, that's what the guy said. He was serious. Radio Pudgy, ever the shill for the neocon version of Republicanism, agreed with that stupid assertion by his silence.

Now, I indicated above that some people who won't face reality about race are stupid and cowardly, but there are others who are just so brainwashed or conditioned that they're no longer capable of thinking straight about the subject. Maybe Pudgy's caller falls into this category. Maybe he doesn't belong in the rear of the bus to hell with those in the first category--stupid and cowardly. These goofballs are usually so afraid of being called racists or haters that they've become more like scared rabbits than human beings.

In my book, it's never wrong or hateful to tell the truth. The truth is simply the truth. It is something that has no hate or love or any other emotion attached to it. It is a fact. Period. All facts, including those regarding humans, should be treated as dispassionately as saying two plus two equals four. And, if facts are presented and then are proved wrong, unbigoted people will accept the new facts. That's how we advance our knowledge; putting everything right out in the open and not by hiding facts, as we are doing with race, because some don't like the facts.

And, speaking of facts, here's a few more that illustrate how goofy the caller, Pudgy and other neocons are about race and how they jump to any conclusions, no matter how silly, to avoid bringing up race. It may be divined when the surface is scratched and we look at facts that these dopes most certainly do not shave with Occam's Razor.

According to statistics I've seen, St. Tammany Parish is about 33 percent Democrat and about 43 percent Republican. Thus, there's about a 10 percent difference in favor of Republicans in the parish. New Orleans, on the other hand, is about 43 percent Democrat that about 30 percent Republican. So, there's about a 13 percent difference, but this time it's in favor of the Democrats. "Well, boy howdy, that 10 or 13 percent difference sure do make a big difference, don't it, Ma?" Unless of course being a Democrat or a Republican isn't the real reason for the difference in how people are acting. "Golly, Ma, if looting and other problems ain't about political party affiliation, what could it possibly have to do with? I can't figger it out. Race? Hmmmm. Nope, I seen them there pictures of the people on TV and, why, I jus' saw bunches of people. Jus' all red blood bleeding one size fits people. Race ain't got nothin' to do with it, Ma. Saying it does would be racist and we sure ain't no racists. Sure, the people looting and committing crimes were black and the people who weren't doing these things were white, but, hey, I don't notice race, Ma. Why, we're all the same."

Such thinking is absurd. In fact, race (actually it's the genes that add up to race) is precisely the reason for people acting differently. People do what their genes have programmed them to do in different situations. When we look at the statistics of how humans act and react to different stimuli--such as the aftermath of a hurricane--we clearly see that race is always a factor. Or, to put this in starkest terms: Statistically speaking, Blacks act Black and Whites act White. Does environment play a role in how people act? Of course, but it is still, ultimately, our genes that cause us to act and react to the environment in ways that are often different with different races.

Here are a few more statistics that hammer home my point: St Tammany Parish (the good acting parish) is about 87 percent white and only about 9.9 percent black. Orleans Parish-which is primarily New Orleans (the bad acting parish)--is only about 27 percent white and 68 percent black.

Anyone who is honest has to admit that race was the main reason for the way people were acting--good and bad. Of course, honesty is not what Pudgy and the other neocons are about. They're about lies and propaganda.

Lie 2: RACE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH PRESIDENT BUSH'S SLOW RESPONSE

I also saw a column this week by one of those peculiar Bush-shill neocon Black writers. You know the type. They're the buttoned down Blacks who all look and sound as though they're white bloodless Young Republicans in blackface. They're loved by the White neocon Republicans because they give cover to white Republicans whenever the inevitable charge of racism is leveled against Republicans by other blacks who know that many whites are still afraid of the Mau Mauing and won't stand up for themselves. Anyway, this Bush-shill jerk wrote, as could be predicted by anyone who has seen any of the stuff she writes, that race had nothing to do with President Bush's slow response to the problems in New Orleans. She didn't buttress her assertion with anything new, just the usual propaganda about what a swell guy Bush is and how he loves all God's critters including, presumably, baby kittens.

Her column was so stupid that it isn't even worth taking it apart to rub her nose in the crap she rewrote from the faxed talking points she probably got from Bush HQ. However, I'm bringing her column up because it contains a basic unspoken fallacy that underlies her defense of Bush: a denial that race is a factor in human affairs and thus shouldn't even be discussed. To this, all of nature screams "NONSENSE!"

Discussing anything that involves the performance of humans without discussing race is like discussing the performance of a car without discussing make and model. You can't intelligently explain the behavior of humans by taking humans, and the genes that make humans, out of the equation. And, that's what the race deniers try to do.

Again, discussing race is absolutely essential to understand why things got so screwed up in New Orleans. The mess had race written over every soggy inch it.

However, and notwithstanding what I wrote above, my guess is that the Black neocon writer was more than likely right to the extent that Bush probably didn't react more slowly to the problems because of the color of most people in New Orleans. Instead everything went slower and got more screwed up right from the start because of the way the people in New Orleans reacted first to the impending storm and then to the aftermath. This behavior, like all behaviors, was gene related--and, thus, race is implicated. If people won't obey our basic White society gene generated ideas of how to act and react but, instead, engage in criminal and anti-social behavior, then the process naturally slows down. The human problems--the failure to evacuate, the looting, the crime, the social dysfunction--were totally wrapped up with race--because those doing it were mostly of one race--Black. And, the root causes of these problems were and are endemic in the Black community because they come from the genes. New Orleans with a hurricane was like Los Angeles with a Rodney King riot. Different excuse, same behavior. It's repeated over and over.

The point of all this is: Race (or, more properly, genes) does matter when we deal with human beings. It can be no other way. To ignore genes and race when we discuss people, and events involving people, is absurd and ignorant to the point of being like some stupid superstition. Our race is determined by our genes which order themselves according to our genotype (our internal blueprint) and manifest themselves as our phenotype (the outward manifestation of our genotype). Our genes are us. We look the way they determine we look and we act the way they have programmed us to act.

With simple reasoning skills and by an analysis of what happened in New Orleans and in other cases, we can draw a general rule that is axiomatic: When the White genotype is dominant in an area, the area is relatively safe and law abiding. When a Black genotype is dominant in an area, the area is relatively unsafe and is not law abiding. This does not mean that no Whites are involved in criminal activities or that all Blacks are, but statistically speaking the rule is valid.

Anyone who doesn't like this general rule is welcome to try to prove it wrong. But this should be done with statistics and facts, and not with gushy moron speak about us all bleeding red blood and other such nonsense. If that is the counter argument, then anyone making it should call Radio Pudgy. He'll buy it.

Are there long term implications in knowing that our genes are us and that different looking peoples really are different? You bet.

The blenders (you may call them one worlders or multiculturalists or multiracialists) want to handle this fact by blending all people together so we all share the same genes. Part of their reason for wanting this blending is their belief that by mixing Whites and Blacks, the resulting mixed offspring will be less violent than their Black parent. No doubt, those who think this way are inspired by the blending that scientists are now doing to get rid of Killer Bees by mating them with ordinary bees. Of course, this is a simplistic version of what the blenders are really all about. In our everyday reality, the blenders are also throwing other races into the gene pool so that the mixing is more than just Black and White and so it will, in their perverse dreams, mix all distinct races away in favor of a one size fits all Tan Everyman.

By contrast, many other people believe that this blending amounts to genocide and will, if it continues, eventually kill off all White people--who are a minority on this planet and who will be swamped with so many genes that are alien to them that they will become extinct. These people believe that Whites should separate out from Blacks and Yellows and Browns and Reds, in order to survive as a distinct people. Some of these people also .argue that this separation is required in order for evolution to work.
