Thanks for the info. Personal details always give perspective to an article. Margolis did indeed seem to be a remarkably sanguine about the Muslim nonsense spreading across the world.

Out of how many thousands of people? If you knew a little about statistics – no, scrap that – if you just had common sense you’d know that all things being equal about 13% of the moon landing team should be black.

No wonder you are skeptical regarding IQ. It must be personal. Surely you know that anecdotal examples – when I lived in xxxxxx ……… is just fatuous.

IQ, by country, is an average. There is a distribution of IQ in each population that closely follows the Bell Curve.

There are plenty of clever Mexicans, Indians and for that matter blacks. It is just that they are a smaller percentage than, say, an equivalent Chinese population. And these clever Mexicans, Indians, etc. are quite capable of designing and organizing the building of skyscrapers and all the other infrastructure of the modern world especially if someone else, somewhere else first thought of it.

As I read through the article a slow realization dawned on me: the author does not understand the basic Bell Curve and how measurements, including IQ are distributed around the mean.

Quite embarrassing.

1,000 thumbs up for the article.

Of course the MSM is the real fake news – to coin an oxymoron – always reporting one side, bad things by whites to blacks with enthusiasm and alacrity. Never or minimally reporting black on white and black on black crime.

A martian would conclude viewing the MSM that blacks are saints and whites are devils. But the rest of us living in the real world know different.

The greatest fake news though it that which is never printed or published or broadcast. MSM lie and fake news by omission. They simply don’t tell you about anything that contradicts their lefty narrative.

But now the Internet has exposed and destroyed their scheme. All is lost for the MSM. About time too.

As you say – nitpick. What you left out was ‘and irrelevant’ to the thrust of Douthat’s argument.

“It seems to me the Ashkenazi Zionists are the biggest threat to human rights, personal freedom and true market-driven prosperity..”

Wow. With all the things going on in the world you think the Jews are the biggest threat to human rights and personal freedom, oh and don’t forget, prosperity. Not the Chinese who have stolen billions of dollars of intellectual property and run a pretty uptight and vicious regime.

Not the the Iranians who seem to have a mania about spreading Shia beliefs around the world and incidentally do a lot of funding of groups in the ME that have this bad habit of killing people. Why not even the NSA that intrusively tracks people across the globe who they believe are suspicious.

Of course, not the lunatics killing each other in the ME. No, no. Those are, but nothing compared to the 14 million Jooos in the world. They are the real danger.

As an aside you may be interested in an excellent range of tin foil hats that I sell. These foil hats fit all size heads and are impervious to the mind control rays that aliens and Jooos are beaming out.

@ Wow

1. Germany deserved to be bombed. You have, I assume heard of Hitler.

2. On the race issue you have no clue do you. Just come out with silly PC non-racial arguments without understanding that blacks are at a serious disadvantage in today’s technologically driven societies. And that race relations are a two way street. US blacks in the main dislike/envy whites and they are increasingly vocal about it.

3. You are aware (though I wonder) that millions of jobs requiring average or low skill have fled to China. So the people who did those jobs are now at a disadvantage. Many whites and most black workers have been affected.

4. American blacks have an IQ mean of 85 which is 1 SD below that of whites. (In Africa they are 2 SD below whites, that is IQ 70.) If you want to be rational on this consider blaming the whites who facilitated outsourcing. THEY are the real culprit in this tragic unfolding saga.

Sniping from German with no US context just to be PC is intellectually embarrassing and absurdly patronizing. I’ve always taken the view that modern Germans and those living in Germany should, for obvious reasons, avoid racial discussions.
