How many intellectuals in 2020 can figure out the point of this 1939 cartoon?

For clues, here’s Amram Scheinfeld’s 1979 New York Times obituary:

Amram Scheinfeld, Cartoonist And Writer on Human Genetics
By Thomas W. Ennis
Sept. 12, 1979

Amram Scheinfeld, a comic‐strip artist who became a widely read science writer on genetics, died yesterday at University Hospital. He was 79 years old and lived in Greenwich Village.

Mr. Scheinfeld’s first book, “You and Heredity,” published by Stokes in 1939, was credited with being the first accurate interpretation of the science of human genetics for the general public.

Among its features were illustrations by the author and a report on Mr. Scheinfeld’s own study of the inheritance of musical talent that led him to conclude that true musical talent was probably inherited and required the the coexistence of several genetic units, or genes.

Personal information was obtained by Mr. Scheinfeld from 36 outstanding instrumentalists, 36 principals of the Metropolitan Opera and 50 students of the Juilliard School of Music. Another study was made of children of musical artists.

“You and Heredity,” written with the the technical assistance of Dr. Morton Schweitzer, was praised by scientists in the United States and Britain, where it was prepared for publication by J.B.S. Haldane.

As the science of human genetics grew, Mr. Scheinfeld produced expanded editions. “The New You and Heredity” was published in 1950. He also wrote “Your Heredity and Environment,” published in 1965 and given The Saturday Review Anisfield‐Wolff award.

In the meantime, Mr. Scheinfeld had written “Women and Men,” a 1944 analysis of sex differences that foreshadowed many issues of the feminist movement.

He also wrote “The Human Heredity Handbook” (1956); “Why You Are You,” a work for children published in 1958 and revised in 1970; “Basic Facts of Human Heredity” (1961); “Twins and Supertwins,” an investigation of the social and psychological aspects of twinship (1967), and “Heredity in Humans” (1972). His novel, “Postscript to Wendy,” was published in 1959. …

Mr. Scheinfeld’s wife, Dorothy, said yesterday that her husband had completed another book before his death. It is called “The Human Sexes” and will be published next year by Alfred A. Knopf.

Mr. Scheinfeld was born in Louisville, Ky., a son of Rabbi Solomon I. Scheinfeld and the former Sanna R. Sachs.

… He also produced a daily column, “Snappy Shots,” for The New York American, drawing from life to accompany his humorous profiles of well‐known people.

“Meeting all these big‐shots, close‐up day after day,” Mr. Scheinfeld wrote to his family, “has set me thinking about what makes some people rise to the top, and so many others — the nobodies, failures, criminals I’d met as a reporter —stay at the bottom.” His speculations led to his interest in heredity.

Surviving is his wife. There will be no service.

This 1939 book “You and Heredity” by science cartoonist Amram Scheinfeld, the son of a rabbi, is a good example of how popular eugenics was among Jews before WWII, a fact that has been completely retconned down the memoryhole since the days of Stephen Jay Gould.

From my 2014 book review of John Glad’s Jewish Eugenics:

The most striking revelation is that, contrary to the current impression, Jews largely approved of eugenics until the end of the 1960s. (The most effective opponents tended to be Catholics, such as G.K Chesterton, author of 1922’s Eugenics and Other Evils.) Glad quotes endless Jewish spokesmen from the first seven decades of the 20th century to the effect that Jews had been practicing eugenic marriages for 3,000 years. The medical profession, which was largely secular and progressive, was enthusiastic about eugenics, and there was little evidence that the sizable number of Jewish doctors objected.

Rather, Jews didn’t contribute much scientifically to this quite productive movement because their city skills took them in other directions, such as becoming doctors rather than naturalists. To contribute to the Darwinian mainstream, it helped to be a smart country boy who grew up interested in plants, animals, and domestic animal breeding. Gould’s archrival Edward O. Wilson is a representative American version, an Alabama lad who couldn’t get enough of ants.

With that in mind, can you figure out the point of Scheinfeld’s cartoon?

Scheinfeld’s point is to shun fashionable shiksa flappers and eugenically marry a nice Jewish girl.

    Since this is a eugenics thread, the Silverman family had 4 daughters - three went into entertainment (camedian, actress, writer) and never married or had kids, one became a rabbi, is married and has three biological kids and two adopted black kids.

  6. Surviving is his wife. There will be no service.

    So a heavy promoter of eugenics had no children. And was not religious. Interesting.

    Scheinfeld’s point is to shun fashionable shiksa flappers and eugenically marry a nice Jewish girl.

    You seem to have struck a chord with your observations.

    Whom is a non-jewish man to marry? Well, for long-term contentment and with family in mind.. what about a (similarly) attractive woman, physically active, good morals, and a bit of intelligence, who the man can care for?

    I'm no IQer. Nowadays, people with capacity for abstract thought often don't lead intelligent lives. But IQ is inheritable, so you want a minimum, especially if coupled with common sense. Both IQ and beauty are nothing, though, without a loving heart and some self-discipline. When considering a person, "beauty or IQ" is a false choice.

    This is common among those concerned with demographics, whether pro- or anti-eugenics. It's tempting to call the ones you disagree with hypocrites, but this gets the causation backwards.

    Far more likely is that the sad reality of infertility deflects one's natural interest in one's own progeny toward other people's. As Dr Johnson said about the ultimate in infertility, capital punishment, it concentrates the mind wonderfully.

    Of particular interest are the staunch Roman Catholics, as you know they're not using birth control, and likely suffer great frustration. E.g., Chesterton and Pat Buchanan.

    Chesterton was likely stymied by obesity, and Washington by his bout with smallpox. Otherwise, this is private stuff, and we often don't know why, or even which spouse has the problem.

    Historically, in America, the ideal female physique was willowy thin, tall, and long-legged. With blonde hair. Like a Scandinavian woman. Some men liked large breasts too, but that was considered low class.

    These days you see a lot more appreciation for women with shapely butts, wide hips, and thick thighs. The sort of physique that you might see on a Kardashian female. Black and Hispanic guys are really into that body type. However, Asian men love super skinny and dainty looking females.

    Due to various factors (immigration, intermarriage, obesity, hormones in food, pilates&squats, protein shakes), it feels like the second sort of body type is increasingly common these days.

    Right, I noticed that error too.

    A certain ratio of waist circumference / hip circumference is right, and a man needs no measuring tape nor calculator to know which ones are right. (Whether that 0.7 I've read is the evolutionary best ratio based on ability to get pregnant and/or give birth is another story, but it sure enables the process to get started.)

    I rather doubt this. I suspect this body type is prized because it is a marker for youth and nulliparity, not because a slim waist is, by itself, particularly indicative of fertility.

He has been mostly forgotten, but if he comes to the attention of the furies-that-be, he will escape being canceled, simply because he chose to become an Indian citizen and spend his last years in India.

    Wallace was born in Chicago, Illinois, to longtime CBS 60 Minutes reporter Mike Wallace and Norma Kaphan. Wallace is Jewish; both his parents were Jewish. He was named Christopher because he was born on Columbus Day. His parents divorced when he was one year old; he grew up with his mother and stepfather Bill Leonard, President of CBS News. Leonard gave him early exposure to political journalism, hiring him as an assistant to Walter Cronkite at the 1964 Republican National Convention. Wallace did not develop a relationship with his father Mike until the age of 14.

    They have a way around that. Just pressure shikas to convert like Ivanka.

    Meanwhile when their women mate with gentiles the offspring are technically Jewish e.g. Scarlett Johansson who despite the Nordic infusion still needed a nose job (judging from old photos) and bleaches her hair.

    Because of European 'enhancements' Ashkenazim in Israel look down on Mizrahim who came from the Middle East and North Africa. Journalist Rachel Shabi wrote about this in her book We Look Like the Enemy: The Hidden Story of Israel's Jews from Arab Lands.

    Wallace was born in Chicago, Illinois, to longtime CBS 60 Minutes reporter Mike Wallace and Norma Kaphan. Wallace is Jewish; both his parents were Jewish. He was named Christopher because he was born on Columbus Day. His parents divorced when he was one year old; he grew up with his mother and stepfather Bill Leonard, President of CBS News. Leonard gave him early exposure to political journalism, hiring him as an assistant to Walter Cronkite at the 1964 Republican National Convention. Wallace did not develop a relationship with his father Mike until the age of 14.

    The blonde’s dress fits tightly so it’s possible to get a true idea of her body. The ideal brunette holds the baby and the baby and her arms completely hide the size of her waist. As for those broad child bearing hips, it’s just the fuller skirt that’s seen, not the real hips at all. So viewer has to take the word of the writer that the hidden body of the brunette is ideal for childbearing.

    The blonde’s dress fits tightly enough that her waist to hip ratio is about . 07 or 08, waist about 10-12 inches smaller than the hips, ideal for child bearing. As for vivaciousness, jews are known for high verbal facility which includes vivacity.

    Conversion for ulterior motives is not kosher. Jews who are serious about their Judaism find "conversions" such as Ivanka's to be dubious at best.

    Meanwhile when their women mate with gentiles the offspring are technically Jewish
     
    If a woman's "conversion to Judaism" rightfully belongs within quotation marks-- i.e., was not halakhically valid; kosher-- then neither she nor any children she may bear would, in the eyes of Judaic law, be Jews.

(Oft-repeated claims to the contrary notwithstanding, the third and final of the aforementioned three terms is no more inherently derogatory than the first two.)

  66. Parallel to eugenics, Jews revised their ideas about homosexuality. Elder Jews like Adorno tended to see homosexuality as a barbarian/uncivilised perversion . The evangelical publications about the “Pink Swastika” rely mostly on Jewish sources.
    Later on, one of the German admirers of the Francfort School needed to invent a theory that there are too essentially different homosexualities, a bad one (denounced by Adorno) and a good one (which Adorno unfortunately didn’t know).
    One of the problems is that this contradicts the opinion that Jews are continually undermining Gentile sexual mores. It seems rather as if Jews fall as much victim to the fashions of their time as anyone else. (Well, that may be even less palatable to Jewish need for self-aggrandization; a theory of constant Jewish conspiracy may be easier to stomach.)

    • Replies: @A. Hipster
    @Stogumber

    I seem to remember that Adorno saw homosexuality arising from "bad" family dynamics, like Freud, but was it barbarity in general? besides, "perversion" is a technical term in the psychoanalysis, like in "polymorphic perversity", not a value judgement.

    Adorno was a one of the most culturally elitist man ever, and not only Eurocentric but Germanocentric, the German music and philosophy were clearly the best. For instance, to modern eyes, his essay "On Jazz" is unbelievably vitriolic and racist; "In Jazz music, Negroes are utilized to achieve a barbaric colorist effect with the contrast between black skin and the brass instruments", about dance fad Jitterbug "in his attempt to imitate an insect, man spends the energy he would have needed to become a human" etc

    Adorno, and Freud too, despised America and Americans -- Marx on the other hand admired it's vitality.

    The blonde’s dress fits tightly so it’s possible to get a true idea of her body. The ideal brunette holds the baby and the baby and her arms completely hide the size of her waist. As for those broad child bearing hips, it’s just the fuller skirt that’s seen, not the real hips at all. So viewer has to take the word of the writer that the hidden body of the brunette is ideal for childbearing.

    The blonde’s dress fits tightly enough that her waist to hip ratio is about . 07 or 08, waist about 10-12 inches smaller than the hips, ideal for child bearing. As for vivaciousness, jews are known for high verbal facility which includes vivacity.

    Trump’s touting of ‘racehorse theory’ tied to eugenics and Nazis alarms Jewish leaders

    President Trump has alarmed Jewish leaders and others with remarks that appeared to endorse “racehorse theory” — the idea that selective breeding can improve a country’s performance, which American eugenicists and German Nazis used in the last century to buttress their goals of racial purity.

    “You have good genes, you know that, right?” Trump told a mostly white crowd of supporters in Bemidji, Minn., on Sept. 18. “You have good genes. A lot of it is about the genes, isn’t it? Don’t you believe? The racehorse theory. You think we’re so different? You have good genes in Minnesota.”

    Rabbi Mark Diamond, a senior lecturer on Jewish studies at Loyola Marymount University, was stunned.

    “To hear these remarks said at a rally in an election campaign for the presidency is beyond reprehensible,” said Diamond, the former executive vice president of the Board of Rabbis of Southern California.

    “This is at the heart of Nazi ideology… This has brought so much tragedy and destruction to the Jewish people and to others. It’s actually hard to believe in 2020 we have to revisit these very dangerous theories.”

    The Trump campaign did not respond to requests for comment.

Leonard gave him early exposure to political journalism, hiring him as an assistant to Walter Cronkite at the 1964 Republican National Convention. Wallace did not develop a relationship with his father Mike until the age of 14.

  99. “This 1939 book “You and Heredity” by science cartoonist Amram Scheinfeld, the son of a rabbi, is a good example of how popular eugenics was among Jews before WWI…”

    All, most, or some Jews, Mr. Sailer? Regardless, they drew inspiration from these prominent non-Jews who created the foundation for eugenics–Sir Francis Galton, Charles Davenport*, and Harry Laughlin**.

    *Davenport fretted at the waves of immigration. From his perspective, the Irish were mentally deficient drunks trending toward tuberculosis, the Jews greedy and lewd, the Italians were lazy and lousy at farming, and Greeks were slovenly. He opined “Summarizing this review of recent conditions of immigration it appears certain that, unless conditions change of themselves or are radically changed, the population of the United States will, in account of the great influx of blood from South-eastern Europe, rapidly become darker in pigmentation, smaller in stature, more mercurial, more attached to music and art, more given to crimes of larceny, kidnapping, assault, murder, rape and sex-immorality and less given to burglary, drunkenness and vagrancy than were the original English settlers.”

    **Using data for the U.S. Census Bureau and a survey of the number of foreign-born persons in jails, prisons and reformatories, he argued that the “American” gene pool was being polluted by a rising tide of intellectually and morally defective immigrants – primarily from eastern and southern Europe. His research culminated in his 1924 testimony to Congress in support of a eugenically-crafted immigration restriction bill given how “dysgenic” were Italians, Poles, Slavs…and Jews.

    So, what happened? How did the ancestors from these groups become “one of U.S.” when these two intellectual giants cast significant doubt on their ability to interwove themselves in the social fabric of ‘murica?

    Oh, that’s right, magic dirt for me!

    So the epitome of White European beauty is a 1920's flapper, who in all likelihood, compiled a significant bodycount in her 20's? Fast forward a century, the equivalent would be a 20-something with an OnlyFans account, who plays with herself on camera for minimum wage.

    Here's a reality check: most of the women listed on here as the "epitome of White European beauty" are actresses who either OD'd, had children who OD'd, or who went through a string of unsuccessful marriages. A general rule of thumb: Total Bodies = 10 x (# of marriages). For actresses/waitresses, it's closer to 15x.

    So a heavy promoter of eugenics had no children. And was not religious. Interesting.
     
    Galton didn’t have children either.
     
    This is common among those concerned with demographics, whether pro- or anti-eugenics. It's tempting to call the ones you disagree with hypocrites, but this gets the causation backwards.

    Far more likely is that the sad reality of infertility deflects one's natural interest in one's own progeny toward other people's. As Dr Johnson said about the ultimate in infertility, capital punishment, it concentrates the mind wonderfully.

    Of particular interest are the staunch Roman Catholics, as you know they're not using birth control, and likely suffer great frustration. E.g., Chesterton and Pat Buchanan.

    Chesterton was likely stymied by obesity, and Washington by his bout with smallpox. Otherwise, this is private stuff, and we often don't know why, or even which spouse has the problem.

I recently saw a video on Youtube; can’t remember the author but it was something like “BetterBachelor.” He introduced the video with a story about a guy on DS (Dating Site don’t remember the name). He got a right swipe (which means contact me?) from an attractive girl. So he sends her a message. She replies with a message saying she just right swiped him because she wanted to let him know he’s the most ugly, disgusting guy she ever saw and continued to heap scorn on him with a long message. He replied something like “Same to you” and she replied “OK I’ll tell that to the hundreds of guys that swiped me – loser!” The author then goes on to tell guys that this is a game played by girls on this site and that unless you are a 9 or 10 – maybe an 8, don’t use the dating sites because you won’t get any real hits. The author then goes into a study about the DS which found that girls from about a 3 to a 10 only are interested in guys in the 8-10 range in other words mostly unrealistic expectations but they won’t accept anything else. So if you’re a 1 – 7/8 guy maybe 1-2 girls will be interested in you. So the conclusion is don’t play this game it will only make you question your self worth.

    Parallel to eugenics, Jews revised their ideas about homosexuality. Elder Jews like Adorno tended to see homosexuality as a barbarian/uncivilised perversion . The evangelical publications about the "Pink Swastika" rely mostly on Jewish sources.
    Later on, one of the German admirers of the Francfort School needed to invent a theory that there are too essentially different homosexualities, a bad one (denounced by Adorno) and a good one (which Adorno unfortunately didn't know).
    One of the problems is that this contradicts the opinion that Jews are continually undermining Gentile sexual mores. It seems rather as if Jews fall as much victim to the fashions of their time as anyone else. (Well, that may be even less palatable to Jewish need for self-aggrandization; a theory of constant Jewish conspiracy may be easier to stomach.)

    Replies: @A. Hipster

    I seem to remember that Adorno saw homosexuality arising from “bad” family dynamics, like Freud, but was it barbarity in general? besides, “perversion” is a technical term in the psychoanalysis, like in “polymorphic perversity”, not a value judgement.

    Adorno was a one of the most culturally elitist man ever, and not only Eurocentric but Germanocentric, the German music and philosophy were clearly the best. For instance, to modern eyes, his essay “On Jazz” is unbelievably vitriolic and racist; “In Jazz music, Negroes are utilized to achieve a barbaric colorist effect with the contrast between black skin and the brass instruments”, about dance fad Jitterbug “in his attempt to imitate an insect, man spends the energy he would have needed to become a human” etc

    Adorno, and Freud too, despised America and Americans — Marx on the other hand admired it’s vitality.

    The rising popularity of oral sex and porn. Before the fifties only prostitutes gave oral, and it cost extra (if they offered it). The soldiers fighting WW II obtained much experience in the brothels and it became known as Getting French. During the seventies it was easier to get laid than get a BJ. Fellatio was something you graduated to. In the 80s , thanks to AIDS and the VCR, it became easier to get fellatio than to get laid. Soon fellatio was not even considered sex , when Clinton promoted the idea. Now they teach middle schoolers how to do it in public schools across America.

    You seem to have struck a chord with your observations.

    Whom is a non-jewish man to marry? Well, for long-term contentment and with family in mind.. what about a (similarly) attractive woman, physically active, good morals, and a bit of intelligence, who the man can care for?

    I'm no IQer. Nowadays, people with capacity for abstract thought often don't lead intelligent lives. But IQ is inheritable, so you want a minimum, especially if coupled with common sense. Both IQ and beauty are nothing, though, without a loving heart and some self-discipline. When considering a person, "beauty or IQ" is a false choice.

    But I’d do the same if I was a Jew trying to stop interracial marriage.

    So can’t really blame him!

     

    They have a way around that. Just pressure shikas to convert like Ivanka.

    Meanwhile when their women mate with gentiles the offspring are technically Jewish e.g. Scarlett Johansson who despite the Nordic infusion still needed a nose job (judging from old photos) and bleaches her hair.

    Because of European 'enhancements' Ashkenazim in Israel look down on Mizrahim who came from the Middle East and North Africa. Journalist Rachel Shabi wrote about this in her book We Look Like the Enemy: The Hidden Story of Israel's Jews from Arab Lands.

    They have a way around that. Just pressure shikas [sic] to convert like Ivanka.

    Conversion for ulterior motives is not kosher. Jews who are serious about their Judaism find “conversions” such as Ivanka’s to be dubious at best.

    Meanwhile when their women mate with gentiles the offspring are technically Jewish

    If a woman’s “conversion to Judaism” rightfully belongs within quotation marks– i.e., was not halakhically valid; kosher– then neither she nor any children she may bear would, in the eyes of Judaic law, be Jews.

    if I was a Jew trying to stop interracial marriage.

    Any serious Orthodox Jew would much prefer that his child marry a legitimate, sincere, devout convert [geir tsedek; fem. gioress] of a different race than marry a genetic Jew of the same race who was less-than fully and sincerely committed to Orthodox Judaic belief and observance.

    as mere synonyms for non-Jew, gentile or goy. (Oft-repeated claims to the contrary notwithstanding, the third and final of the aforementioned three terms is no more inherently derogatory than the first two.)

    [Reg Cæsar:]Actually, gentile is far more offensive than goy. Same with anglo and gringo.

    It [Gentile] implies “outsider”. So it’s not offensive coming from the outside, but in expecting us to use it for ourselves. In that sense, goy is more straightforward.

    1.) Might you have any source you could cite for that? I had not heard of such an etymology until now. A brief web search did not yield anything.

    Might you, perhaps, have been thinking of one of the slang meanings, apparently obsolete now, of the word jazz itself? [1]

    2.) While I had assumed what is asserted in parentheses in the text I shall now quote,


    https://www.etymonline.com/word/suck
    Meaning "do fellatio" is first recorded 1928. Slang sense of "be contemptible" first attested 1971 (the underlying notion is of fellatio). Related: Sucked; sucking. Suck eggs is from 1906. Suck hind tit "be inferior" is American English slang first recorded 1940.
     
    I cannot say that I ever actually knew that said scabrous reference was, in fact, the origin of or basis for the pejorative usage of suck(s). The two additional examples cited subsequently seem no less logical or plausible. I have not been succesful in finding a clear answer.

    NOTE:

    , @Sam Malone
    @Almost Missouri

    I've never heard that jazz explanation before either, and I wonder if you have any sources. What I always assumed is that in the 40s or 50s or whenever the phrase first arose (it's certainly on record existing by the 1960s), the full phrase was to say that someone you truly disliked "sucks dick". As in, "Carlito? That sonovabitch? I'll bet he sucks dick. You know he sucks. Carlito sucks."

    Then, in time, you could merely say that someone "sucks" as shorthand to indicate that you consider the person disgusting or disgraceful or otherwise highly objectionable, whether or not you literally mean the person is homosexual. Once that usage - "he sucks" - became commonplace in the originating milieu, it would be natural to expand the phrase and say that a thing or a situation "sucks" with the same meaning intact, i.e., that the thing or situation is intensely negative.

    When the phrase moved into wider usage by the public in the 1960s and 70s, even without the original explicit reference to anatomy, the real meaning was highly likely to be retained subliminally, and this very vulgarity probably accounts for the phrase's popularity as a confrontational/extreme way of expressing contempt.

    This origin - "sucks" as shorthand for "sucks dick" - also accounts for the intensity and vitriol with which the phrase is employed among youths and males.

    The one sector of both the Israeli as well as the worldwide Jewish population that even purport to abide by halakha (Judaic law) are the Orthodox (a broad category that includes numerous layers of subsets). While still a minority, these religious Jews are rapidly increasing and replacing secular ones. (The latter, through low rates of birth and high rates of assimilation, are heading toward extinction.) To point these facts out in response to the rather sweeping, unqualified statements you had made about both Jews as well as Israelis, seems quite germane.

    The rising popularity of oral sex and porn. Before the fifties only prostitutes gave oral, and it cost extra (if they offered it). The soldiers fighting WW II obtained much experience in the brothels and it became known as Getting French. During the seventies it was easier to get laid than get a BJ. Fellatio was something you graduated to. In the 80s , thanks to AIDS and the VCR, it became easier to get fellatio than to get laid. Soon fellatio was not even considered sex , when Clinton promoted the idea. Now they teach middle schoolers how to do it in public schools across America.

    "Don’t be silly. Italians and Greeks created European culture:"

    Thanks for your strawman and your red herring.

    The fact of the matter is that, historically, even well intentioned European immigrants had major difficulties assimilating. Their background is too different to internalize the Constitution. These groups balkanize, undermine the natives, and either drive them off, kill them, or kill the men and interbreed with the women. That is what exactly happened to the Anglo-Saxon, that once proud, sturdy stock that succumbed to the hordes of Southern and Eastern Europeans.

    Yet, by magic dirt, today’s Alt Right leaders and acolytes who are able to trace their ancestors from Poland, Italy, Greece, and Serbia believe their forefathers successfully integrated and (poof), as a result of that hard work, they today are somehow better than recent immigrant groups. Of course, even in the illusory peaceful coexistence stage preceding balkanization, i.e. Europeans share common biological and cultural traits, they naturally push for their own interests rather than the interests of the natives. Have whites truly been united as the Alt Right pushes?

    Well, writer Prescott Hall in the 1910’s (?) did NOTICE how [foreigners** are engaging in games and sports, theatrical and musical performances, and [drinking] on Sundays, and [these activities take place] on the Puritan Sabbath...[these] immigrants are below the mental, moral, and physical average of both our country and their own...they are “watering [down America’s] life blood”.

The difference perceived in these immigrants was frequently described as a racial difference in which Europeans were represented as, not one, but many races identified by region (Alpine, Mediterranean, Slavic and Nordic) or by alleged head shape (roundheads, slopeheads). Madison Grant, a biologist and curator for the American Museum of Natural History in New York explained in his book The Passing of the Great Race that White Americans, the great race, were losing out to hordes of inferior European immigrants. Grant’s book was so popular it experienced 7 reprints before WWII. According to Grant, “These new immigrants were no longer exclusively members of the Nordic race as were the earlier ones…The transportation lines advertised America as a land flowing with milk and honey and the European governments took the opportunity to unload upon careless, wealthy and hospitable America the sweepings of their jails and asylums…Our jails, insane asylums and almshouses are filled with this human flotsam and the whole tone of american life, social, moral and political has been lowered and vulgarized by them.”

    True, but then you have to take into account that a certain WHR is not necessary for fertility. One must also ask whether a cultural standard that devalues how a woman’s body looks after she has children is a good and healthy one. There is a great deal of resistance from men about critically examining their own expectations.

    There's no such thing as fairness in marriage. Either the husband or the wife rules and one of them gets custody of the children in case of divorce. My proposal is a return to good old-fashioned patriarchy: the husband is king, the wife obeys her man and loses custody of the children if she files for a divorce. And a good slapping never hurt anybody.

    Two additional thoughts on the topic of vulgar/profane/foul/obscene language:
    - A critical difference is to be acknowledged between (a) that which is uttered in particularly trying, acute moments, whether ones of pain, anger, anxiety, fear, desperation, disappointment, or shock; and (b) that which is uttered casually, without the aforesaid mitigating factors. Needless to say which, of the two types, is the far more forgivable one.

    - As is the case for any number of other forms of indelicacy and crudeness, I find foul or even merely excessively coarse language from a female to be particularly unbecoming and repellent.

    "Don’t be silly. Italians were assimilated into Anglo-America after a few decades."

    Again, not according to WASPs. And, assuredly, not to Americans in New Orleans in 1891 when Italians murdered their police chief. The Daily States editorialized:


    Rise, people of New Orleans! Alien hands of oath-bound assassins have set the blot of a martyr's blood upon your vaunted civilization! Your laws, in the very Temple of Justice, have been bought off, and suborners have caused to be turned loose upon your streets the midnight murderers of David C. Hennessy, in whose premature grave the very majesty of our American law lies buried with his mangled corpse — the corpse of him who in life was the representative, the conservator of your peace and dignity.
     
    Mayor Joseph A. Shakespeare added how "the worst classes of Europe: Southern Italians and Sicilians...the most idle, vicious, and worthless people among us" who were "filthy in their persons and homes" and blamed them for the spread of disease, concluding they were "without courage, honor, truth, pride, religion, or any quality that goes to make a good citizen".

    Interesting. So, was the newspaper and the mayor wrong in their assessment that Italians were other than assimilable?

    "And the reason is simple: Italians are fellow Europeans..."

    Inferior Europeans who ought not have been allowed to enter our nation in large droves, as the sources I cited clearly indicate. They were of the low IQ type. They were "heathen". So, what made them become "one of U.S."? Oh, that's right, magic dirt.

    "Dear boy, you are the one saying that this..."

    Again, you are not making an apples to apples comparison. But that is your old standby.

    A Black Mass is a play written by Amiri Baraka and performed at Proctor's Theatre in Newark, New Jersey in 1966. Baraka also recorded a version of the play with Sun Ra's Myth-Science Orchestra in 1968.[1] The play is based on the religious doctrine of Yakub as taught by the Nation of Islam, and it describes the origin of white people according to this doctrine.[2]
     

    This play is a visceral experience through the use of music and lighting, beginning in a "Jet blackness" accompanied with the "Music of eternal concentration and wisdom" composed by Sun Ra, which represent a prelapsarian state of non-threatening darkness.[5] Baraka inverts the idea that white symbolizes goodness and black symbolizes wickedness, so that the images of beauty and life are associated with blackness.[6] As Jacoub, the protagonist of the play, creates the "White Beast" that will become the ancestor to the white race, this peaceful blackness is soon contrasted with scenes of pandemonium, in which the room is filled with unsettling melodies and the sounds of banging and screeching (provided in the original production by Sun Ra's Myth Science Arkestra).[7] To add to the audience's unease, the actors are not confined to the stage: the "Beast" leaps among the spectators, screaming "White! White! White!" and "Me! Me! Me!"[8]
     

    The play ends on a call to arms against this newly created affront against nature:
     

    "And so Brothers and Sisters, these beasts are still loose in the world. Still, they spit their hideous cries. There are beasts in our world, Brothers and Sisters. There are beasts in our world. Let us find them and slay them. Let us lock them in their caves. Let us declare the holy war. The Jihad. Or we cannot deserve to live. Izm-el-Azam. Izm-el-Azam. Izm-el-Azam."

    Ah the “No true Scotsman Jew” card.

    You’re right it totally invalidates my point that israeli Jews favor eugenics.

    After all, no True Jew and all that.

    Replies: @Dissident

    The one sector of both the Israeli as well as the worldwide Jewish population that even purport to abide by halakha (Judaic law) are the Orthodox (a broad category that includes numerous layers of subsets). While still a minority, these religious Jews are rapidly increasing and replacing secular ones. (The latter, through low rates of birth and high rates of assimilation, are heading toward extinction.) To point these facts out in response to the rather sweeping, unqualified statements you had made about both Jews as well as Israelis, seems quite germane.

    Ah the “No true Scotsman Jew” card.

    Ah, the Dial-a-Fallacy fallacy.

    This neatly codified set of catchy-sounding, slogan-ready Logical Fallacies may have its place and be useful at times. But it/they can also be simplistic; subject to overuse and misuse/misapplication; and are ultimately of limited utility.

    Two additional thoughts on the topic of vulgar/profane/foul/obscene language:
    – A critical difference is to be acknowledged between (a) that which is uttered in particularly trying, acute moments, whether ones of pain, anger, anxiety, fear, desperation, disappointment, or shock; and (b) that which is uttered casually, without the aforesaid mitigating factors. Needless to say which, of the two types, is the far more forgivable one.

    – As is the case for any number of other forms of indelicacy and crudeness, I find foul or even merely excessively coarse language from a female to be particularly unbecoming and repellent.

    1.) Might you have any source you could cite for that? I had not heard of such an etymology until now. A brief web search did not yield anything.

    Might you, perhaps, have been thinking of one of the slang meanings, apparently obsolete now, of the word jazz itself? [1]

    2.) While I had assumed what is asserted in parentheses in the text I shall now quote,

    [MORE]

    https://www.etymonline.com/word/suck
    Meaning “do fellatio” is first recorded 1928. Slang sense of “be contemptible” first attested 1971 (the underlying notion is of fellatio). Related: Sucked; sucking. Suck eggs is from 1906. Suck hind tit “be inferior” is American English slang first recorded 1940.

    I cannot say that I ever actually knew that said scabrous reference was, in fact, the origin of or basis for the pejorative usage of suck(s). The two additional examples cited subsequently seem no less logical or plausible. I have not been succesful in finding a clear answer.

    I’ve never heard that jazz explanation before either, and I wonder if you have any sources. What I always assumed is that in the 40s or 50s or whenever the phrase first arose (it’s certainly on record existing by the 1960s), the full phrase was to say that someone you truly disliked “sucks dick”. As in, “Carlito? That sonovabitch? I’ll bet he sucks dick. You know he sucks. Carlito sucks.”

    Then, in time, you could merely say that someone “sucks” as shorthand to indicate that you consider the person disgusting or disgraceful or otherwise highly objectionable, whether or not you literally mean the person is homosexual. Once that usage – “he sucks” – became commonplace in the originating milieu, it would be natural to expand the phrase and say that a thing or a situation “sucks” with the same meaning intact, i.e., that the thing or situation is intensely negative.

    When the phrase moved into wider usage by the public in the 1960s and 70s, even without the original explicit reference to anatomy, the real meaning was highly likely to be retained subliminally, and this very vulgarity probably accounts for the phrase’s popularity as a confrontational/extreme way of expressing contempt.

    This origin – “sucks” as shorthand for “sucks dick” – also accounts for the intensity and vitriol with which the phrase is employed among youths and males.

    It also explains why there was controversy when "sucks" was first used on network TV, by a little kid, in 1990 in the short lived show "Uncle Buck" - i.e., everyone understood on some level that the insult was vulgar / near obscene because it was shorthand for a graphic sexual insult.

    Come on, you've gotta be a parody account....

    “Then you’re pretending to be a goon…..I can’t make up my mind on that question…”

    LOL, the goons are those on the historical record that made reference that Southern and Eastern Europeans are unfit Europeans who lack the mental acumen to become “part of U.S.”. Yet, you insist that I myself am making those statements.

    I am merely pointing out how Heritage Americans, aka WASPs, aka “true Americans”, were overrun by undesirables. Yet, [poof], in your world, they “successfully assimilated” despite claims to the contrary by the sources I provided. There is an absolute disconnect here.

    Again, WASPs made it clear that Italians, Poles, Slavs, etc. were other than capable of immersing themselves in the body politic. Were they wrong in that assessment? Why? That means specifically ADDRESS the CONTENT of the SOURCES and the POSITIONS taken by the AUTHORS I referred to.

    You claim to be a professor. I would imagine your students have challenged your line of thinking before. Do you respond in an intellectually honest manner, or do you patently dodge their queries and engage in deception like you are doing now?

    The one sector of both the Israeli as well as the worldwide Jewish population that even purport to abide by halakha (Judaic law) are the Orthodox (a broad category that includes numerous layers of subsets). While still a minority, these religious Jews are rapidly increasing and replacing secular ones. (The latter, through low rates of birth and high rates of assimilation, are heading toward extinction.) To point these facts out in response to the rather sweeping, unqualified statements you had made about both Jews as well as Israelis, seems quite germane.


    Ah the “No true Scotsman Jew” card.
     
    Ah, the Dial-a-Fallacy fallacy.

    This neatly codified set of catchy-sounding, slogan-ready Logical Fallacies may have its place and be useful at times. But it/they can also be simplistic; subject to overuse and misuse/misapplication; and are ultimately of limited utility. Like any other rhetorical tool, these slogans have been weaponized and wielded as a convenient means of a priori discrediting inconvenient views and arguments.

    A lot of squid ink to obfuscate the point — Israelis abort imperfect or even possibly imperfect fetuses at rates higher than most.

    You might even call it “eugenics.”

    Musta hit pretty close to the mark to get you all riled up like that.

    It’s as ridiculous as that line one hears about the Biblical prohibition of the consumption of pork, e.g. that it’s related to avoidance of trichinella.

    As if the ancients were familiar with parasitology.
     
    God was. And it may have also to do with similarities between pigs and humans, not to mention the parable of the demons cast into the herd of swine.

    Pigs are disgusting creatures that will eat anything. Why eat them? If so, why not eat a dog?

    I suppose that being called a troll by Corvinus is a compliment. Thanks!

    I thought the idea wasn't straight anti-gay but a kind of accusation of nepotism: that person is so unskilled or unsuited for their position that they must have performed fellatio on the hiring party.

    Interesting idea. I guess that’s possible. Some day I’ll have to look into it more.
