RSSYou have conflated too many things & it is impossible to address them all. There are real differences re time perspective among various groups, and blacks stick out as the most “time-oblivious” racial groups/species. It is so trivial observation that hardly warrants scientific observation.
Actually you are wrong on this. Blacks exhibit no significant differences re time perspectives compared to white groups SIMILARLY SITUATED as credible scholars show. As the detailed research of conservative author Thomas Sowell shows, similar whites are no “role models” on this score. The case can be made going back for several centuries, but its not only historically. As one recent book notes, northern European groups like the Irish are still unimpressive at punctuality, often starting meetings late for example. Quote:
“The relaxed attitude to time-keeping in Ireland probably comes from most Irish people, even those living in cities, having their roots in the slow pace of life of the countryside where constantly looking at your watch was not a part of daily life.” (The Irish Culture Book 2 By Ian O’Malley 2017).
Likewise yet another Irish businessman notes:
“The Irish tend to be unpunctual. For a typical Irish person this is not so much daily company life, where things have become disciplined, but appointments. You have an appointment at 10 a.m. and it could end up being 10.30 a.m. This, in my opinion, is unforgivable. It wastes time and frustrates people. I never let this pass without reminding not only my employees but also customers and suppliers, that one should as far as possible, keep to interview or appointment times.”
(German-Irish Corporate Relationships: The Cultural Dimension, Niamh O’Mahony – 2004)
The same lack of punctuality, along with frequent corruption, is frequently mentioned even in some Irish fiction- quote:
“This want of punctuality in money transactions, and this mode of treating contracts as matters of favour and affection, might not have damned the fame of our hero in his own country, where such conduct is, alas! too common; but he was now in … (194) In the narrator’s view, the real problem in Hereford is not religious difference or Irish migration, but a failure to properly educate the Irish in the correct behavior for a capitalist economy…” (Representing the National Landscape in Irish Romanticism By Julia Wright 2004)

As for empathy, it is, of course, not realistic to extrapolate findings from such a small sample (white Canadians & Rwandans) & to generalize to all members of races/species.
OK, but this is exactly the same “unrealistic” approach you are using with attempts to shoehorn in “genetic” explanations for this and that. You are contradicting yourself. Up above you say it is not realistic to “generalize to all members of races/species.” But then you and others go on to do just that with “genetic” explanations for “time differences.”
in war, which is a complex phenomenon of planning, aggression, frenzy, ideological indoctrination… everything happens.
But war is a quite natural activity of humans. Indeed some heriditarian advocates have touted its “selective” benefits. But in any event, various “HBD” and heriditarian advocates reduce complex phenomena to simplistic “genetic” explanations.

But, this is not what ordinary investigations of empathy should focus on. It is about levels of empathy in “ordinary”, non hysterical & non-pathological situations. And here we can see that high levels of violent criminality are disproportionately present among blacks & Mestizos, while among east Asians this type of behavior is significantly different- and it cannot be ascribed solely to various socio-economic situations. In sum, if not all, much of behavior is inscribed in genes:
OK, that’s a valid point- peacetime. Lets take your conditions of peace time, not war. In PEACETIME, white “role model” Joe Stalin murdered tens of millions to build his “socialism in one country.” In PEACETIME, northern European white “role models” forcibly sterilized and/or murdered tens of thousands of sick, elderly, and mentally disabled white Germans including children, years before the intense “cleansing work” on “the eternal Jew” got underway in 1941 via the murder squads, and mobile gas vans. Scholarship such as Death and Deliverance: ‘Euthanasia’ in Germany, C.1900 to 1945 by H. Friedlander 1994, lay out the dismal detail.
In multiple centuries of PEACETIME, alleged white “Role models” of Europe post much higher rates of infanticide than Africans (Milner 2000- Hardness of Heart). Examples can be multiplied. You say that much of behavior is inscribed in genes, a standard position of assorted racialists and hereditarians. Fine – let’s go with that – in relation to white behavior above.
No, that's not her opinion. She was, I think, just too cautious to dot all i's & cross all t's.
Reading this article, somewhat abstruse and obscurantist, it appears that Ilana agrees with the left and “cucks” and neocons that culture is everything, at least in regard to race as opposed to sex; that blacks and whites are exactly the same apart from skin color and other superficial characteristics; that race “beneath the skin” is a “artificial social construct.” No mention of IQ and other genetic racial group differences.
Time is another abstract concept with which Africans seem to have difficulties. I began to wonder about this in 1998. Several Africans drove up in a car and parked right in front of mine, blocking it. “Hey,” I said, “you can’t park here.” “Oh, are you about to leave?” they asked in a perfectly polite and friendly way. “No,” I said, “but I might later. Park over there”—and they did.
LOL. Interestingly, conservative author Thomas Sowell has long shown that “time perspective differences” are no monopoly of Africans. The northern European white Irish, as well as the northern European denizens of British “cracker culture” that settled large parts of the south and piedmont zone, are notorious for “time perspective differences” historically. And among the values these white “role models” have bequeathed are aversion to work, proneness to violence, sexual promiscuity, lack of entrepreneurship, reckless search for excitement, and lively music and dance. (Sowell 2005- Black Rednecks, White Liberals)
Empathy? So white people are supposed to have all this nice, virtuous empathy?

Really? Perhaps this is why white people have the highest abortion rates in the world (2 out of 3 white babies are killed by white “role models” in Russia (Loveless and Holman 2007), and why rates of infanticide in Europe and much higher than those in Africa, which historically has the lowest rates (Milner 2000, Hardness of heart). Northern European “empathy” also shines forth in their treatment of other white people. Consider the nice things done for this white population:
“He called the method of mass killing he invented Sardinenpackung. As Meier describes, it involved forcing victims to lie together face down and side and side and killing them with Genickschussen, then forcing the next group of victims who preceded them to form another layer, ignoring the victims; terror and horror in the interest of efficiently filling up the killing pit. Jeckeln’s despicably cruel execution protocols destroys SS claims, during and after the warm that its executions were ‘correct’ military-style executions of partisans. Himmler’s goal was mass murder.. By the end of August 1941, commanding the Kommandostab SS First Brigade in the western Ukraine, Jeckeln had personally supervised the murder of more than 44,000 human beings, the largest total of Jews murdered by any of Himmler’s virulent legions that month.”
