My new Taki’s Magazine column reviews Charles Murray’s new book Facing Reality: Two Truths about Race in America, which was released yesterday.
Has anybody else reviewed it yet?
Here’s F. Roger Devlin’s review in VDARE. That appears to be about it, so far.
Generally, reviews of books by famous authors are embargoed until the official publication date (Tuesday June 15th in this case), with reviewers having already read the book by then, so reviews typically come out fast. It will be of interest whether Facing Reality gets widely reviewed like Murray’s 2012 Coming Apart, 1994 Bell Curve, and 1984 Losing Ground, or ignored like his 2020 Human Diversity and 2003 Human Accomplishment.
The physical hardback Facing Reality is small, elegant, and to the point, in part because a lot of the scholarly supporting material is relegated to the webpage at Encounter Books.
Murray suggests his Violent Crime by Zip Code database might be of particular interest.

Reviewing a book acknowledges its existence. This answers your question.
The Powers That Be have figured out that silence and distraction are the best arguments they have, so despite the great demand for bad whites to pillar the media will stay silent about this book.

When will Murray and friends face THAT reality and repair the damage it has done to our nation and her people?

Got my copy yesterday. Can’t wait to read it.
There is already a hit on Drudge about it linking to The Spectator abridged story by Murray. Center Column.
Which is somewhat surprising given Drudge’s strange political move in the last year or two.
That’s an interesting question, and if the implication is correct (that Murray will get politely ignored) it points out that the real targets of the hard left aren’t of the right, but of the center left. Witness the flagellation of Tom Hanks for being insufficiently woke. It’s not enough for him to bemoan the death of “300” blacks in Tulsa, he’s guilty for promoting white man heroism.
I remember when CRT was but a gleam in Kendi’s eye a couple of years ago and there was a kerfuffle about the movie Gone With the Wine. But it died down. No one is talking about yanking the book from the shelves. It’s as if that battle isn’t worthy of left’s energy. Maybe they’ll get around to mopping up poor old Margaret Mitchell when they’ve wiped out everything else, but for now, their prime targets are the center left.
All Quiet on the Western Front has nothing to say about Hohenzollern Germany's imperial ambitions, such as were documented decades later by Fritz Fischer. It really just tries to give a sympathetic portrait of an average German soldier stuck in the trenches. Despite this, the German Right-wing of the 1920s were antagonistic to the author's message. It was obvious that he was not rallying people to go and die for another Kaiser or Fuehrer.
Gone With the Wind came out much later vis a vis the American Civil War as opposed to All Quiet on the Western Front vis a vis the First World War. That is certainly part of what gave it a more friendly reception. Nobody in the South of the 1930s was trying to claim that the Confederates had only lost the war because of a stab in the back, the way that lying ideologues like Ludendorff tried to claim in Germany during the 1920s. Despite these differences in public reception, the parallel between the 2 books is obvious.
Gone With the Wind portrays the South as a victim of its own hubris. There are obvious analogies between the way that the most reckless Southern spokesmen viewed the onset of the American Civil War and the way that many people across Europe in the summer of 1914 were convinced they would be "home by Christmas!" All of this is portrayed in Gone With the Wind as the great folly of whole society. It was not written to be the sort of novel which makes someone want to put on a Confederate uniform and go fight the Yanks. If properly understood it really is a Center-Left story.

A bigger question, will anyone review it other than those who will not engage with it and call it evil and some libertarians who will point to it and say all we need to do is accept it’s premises to enjoy progress for both black and white America. (In reality they know that saying that blacks are genetically less intelligent and impulsive on average will of course lead to less support for wealth redistribution and economic populism)
The more interesting question is what the nature of this issue says about America. It is an appalling vista, Coates himself articulated this when he said that any degree of explanation for racial inequality which involves inherent deficiencies in African Americans, even merely on average, is something he can’t accept, not doesn’t accept, can’t accept no matter what kind of evidence you show him. (And thus everything must be racism)
America is not a nation, it is at the very least bi-national with African Americans forming a cohesive identity and political structure which implicitly since the civil rights movement has obtained one form or another of power sharing agreements from the dominant society.
Therefore the sense of honour and social status of this nation in America is a political reality it has to deal with. And there would be no greater humiliation, no greater cause of total illegitimacy than to accept the premise of Charles Murrays book. It is a political existential threat to black America.
There is simply no way a multi-racial America that is a liberal democracy can possibly sustain this information except in implicit form, it can never be accepted explicitly.
Murrays notion that some amount of affirmative action is going to cause the ‘disaster’ of white identity politics in America is wrong. Affirmative action was perfectly tolerable. What wasn’t tolerable were the Tumblr-derived anti-white narratives that have come to dominate the media and social media. But black anti-white animus and politicization (Itself a prime instigator for nascent white identity politics) won’t be vanquished by saying ‘Hey, a lot of the inequality that is so crushing? That’s on you guys, you’re just not very smart and you’re very impulsive, sorry’ and only libertarians trying to cover for wanting to remove political support for social welfare would say otherwise, it’s a disingenuous argument. In reality it would kick off an even more intense form of black anti-white politics that would birth more white identity politics in return.
What’s the ‘answer’, it depends on what you want.

Corporations? All black, all the time. Black black black black blackety black black.
White men have no stake, say, or representation at any level of this nation. And it happened basically with Obama onwards, so rapidly.
White men figure likely: the bad old segregationists were correct. That also, White women are the enemy and need to be repressed. With a good dose of kids and kitchen work. [A full 44% of White women with college love CRT. ] That its back to blood, as Tom Wolfe predicted. What really is the modern Western society for White men who are not homosexuals? It has nothing, nothing at all to recommend it. And they have no place in it, and never will. Neither do their heroes, history, or heritage. Their lives will be nothing more than one long lifetime grovel before KANGZ.

How Many Publications Will Review Charles Murray’s “Facing Reality?”
Wall Street Journal Watch for the Charles Murray FACING REALITY book is underway.
George Washington was said to have made it an order that — None But Americans On Watch Tonight — and let’s see when the WSJ will review Murray’s group racial differences book.
The Wall Street Journal music review guy attacked Van Morrison’s recent album because Van The Man was highly skeptical about China Lab Flu and Bat Soup Fever and the ruling class response to China Lab Flu and Bat Soup Fever and The Guardian went after Mr Van Morrison also.
Van Morrison is Scottish by way of Belfast and Charles Murray is Scottish by way of the town in Iowa famous for washing machines and clothes dryers and both evince very pleasant Scottish worldviews where they want to know how things work and how they can work differently.
Charles Murray to me is a trimmer for the ruling class posing as an intellectual provocateur and Murray’s reluctance to call for Whites to advance their interests as Whites is irritating.
Whites Without College Degrees are getting pushed out of the globalizer post-national Democrat Party and the White Upper Middle Class Snot Brats and the plutocrats and the ruling class are using Blacks as a shield to deflect attention away from the massive concentration of wealth and power in the USA.
Murrays notion that some amount of affirmative action is going to cause the ‘disaster’ of white identity politics in America is wrong. Affirmative action was perfectly tolerable.
Why should affirmative action be tolerable? Would you tolerate an AA pilot or pay $15 more for one hired based on merit?
Or does someone else have to tolerate the results?
I have seen the results behind the scenes of corporate America. It is not pretty and would shock the public.
The entire idea is based in race denial and if anything re-enforces stereotypes when it tries to correct what are really gaps in education.
I am reliably informed that Murray has taped an interview for the Tucker Carlson show.

Great publicity but it’ll be interesting to see if Tuck asks Murray if he regrets continuing to completely depend on his enemies.

Very nice hearing this. Thanks for posting. I’ll be looking out for the interview.

Nice to see the replies are ripping Murray’s snide response to a fair and good review.
My takeaways from reading the book:
“Systemic racism” and wokism are liberals saying it cannot be true — cannot be true — that gubmint programs and quotas and diversity don’t make a blind bit of difference. Evil white supremacists and conspiracy theorists must be to blame. What else could it be?
The reason that corporations are woke is that they are on the hook to have proper race numbers all the way up the food chain. But this is impossible.
That’s because IQ tests accurately predict educational and job-related performance this means that the more a degree or a job requires high cognitive ability the fewer low IQ people — e.g. blacks — will be able to pass the degree or do the job. So corporations cannot meet their quotas without having utterly unqualified people in high responsibility jobs.
So, of course corporations are saying oh yeah, BLM, diversity, inclusion. Oh yeah. We are right with you. Just go easy on us, bro.
Hey, in another 20 years probably all the high cognitive ability jobs will go to South and East Asians. Because average Asian IQ is 108 to average white IQ of 103.
Have you taken a look, Steve? For anyone interested, it is an XLSX file of about 89 MB and 500k rows. Does anyone know if a data dictionary exists for it? It looks there are quite a few ZIP code overall fields lumped in with the individual arrests (IMHO two tables, one for arrests and one for zip codes, would have saved significant space and made things a bit easier to work with).
The arrests portion is fairly straightforward, but different conventions for the age column (age vs. bucket ranges) is a bit inconvenient. I can kind of make out the zip code information (mostly demographics), but not with confidence.

Murray is practically demanding a response. The wokesters cannot let stand a book that simply and clearly lays out the problem that a significant, easily identifiable segment of the population is less intelligent and more violence prone than whites.

“Virgil, quick, come see, There goes Robert E. Lee!”
Be quick about it Virgil, this might be your last chance.
I dunno if black difference cannot be accepted by Americans. Firstly, those differences were thoroughly known to Southerners for hundreds of years. Maybe that does not count, because post-slavery the south had Jim Crow and herrenvolk democracy? White Southerners do not tell Northmen, of course, but they still know. There’s a reason Southern whites did not stop the Great Migration to keep all those valuable blacks for ourselves. Teenagers rebel, but know soon enough. Maybe women have forgotten. I don’t know.
That’s the South, though, and maybe the rest of the country is different?
There are a lot of Americans these days who are not descended from whites in the north or south. I have heard that Asian-black relations are poor. Asians see themselves rise from poverty to the upper middle class in one generation. To the upper class in two-three. They see blacks in school, in the street, and in their stores. You think they don’t know? They oppose AA in part because AA brings the awful blacks into places they went to to get away from blacks.
I had an internship working in a small group for a couple months. Nearly direct quote about a guy at her (not particularly elite school) “He’s really smart for a black guy. Almost smart enough to be there.”
Mexicans? I have heard cartels do not work with blacks. Here are the headline and sub from an SPLC article, dated January 16, 2007:
Whites across the country vote with their feet and long mortgages to stay away from blacks. Mexicans have less money and legality, para que voten a balazos. You think they don’t know? Like Asian immigrants, their kids have to go to school with blacks. Black children, unlike the adults you get to with, have not had the worst weeded out with prison and beefs with other ‘bangers. The black and Mestizo personalities are very different.
Indian Brahmins have retooled as the priests of woke for the POC, we will see if the POC accept them, but they are trying. Indians are somewhat willing to tolerate group differences in status, rights, material possessions, and the having of servants. Do you think the Brahmins making with Econ masters degrees and 150k a year gigs in finance are going to be up in arms about people realizing there are population differences? They will retool as the priestly caste of preserving inequality. With themselves on top, it goes without saying. They may actually not know, they start out so high income. But if they live in cities, with women scared of them, until they see that the Brahmin is black, but not, you know, black, they may realize that racism is real. When they encounter black people who are actually, you know, black, they will realize why racism is real.
Of Americans, that basically leaves Jews. Jews are very uncomfortable with homogeneously white societies buying into reality, but they like city living, and cities might take a long time to be 2010-level civilized, if they ever do. If they do not know why they are smart and not big on personal, disorganized, non-state violence, but blacks are not and are, respectively, then I would be fairly sure that non-hereditarianism is strongly genetically influenced. Personally, I think they know that shvartzer sunt diferite. What they oppose is whites gaining group consciousness, unless it is a self-flagellating consciousness they strongly influence, like college-educated white women have now. In a multicultural, multiracial former nation, where whites cannot put a kibosh on their niche, I think they’ll be more tolerant of people talking about it.
Not to mention, the (possibly feigned) Jewish and (sincere) GoodWhite aversion to hereditary ani’s my is a direct result of Nazi Germany. The Nazis are long gone. The America that defeated them is more than likely a dead man walking. Jews in Israel already practice eugenics. They do here, too. Pre-Nazis, the American upper-class was very much in favor of eugenics. But we were talking about blacks being different.
Back to white Americans. It seems to me that fertility trends are making whites more genetically conservative, dumber (but maybe slower than blacks, one might hope) and less status-conscious. Those are not trends favoring the Great Taboo That Cannot Even Be Referred To As Something That Is. A Taboo. I have heard white divorcées and single mothers have fewer kids than women who get an stay married, so that trend favors children raised by fathers, which is bad for the taboo.
I forgot to mention the beliefs of blacks themselves. I think they know. At least the brighter ones. I have known blacks who did not like other blacks, preferring white company. It would not surprise me if many middle class blacks, at least the ones smart enough to actually be, did not prefer whites. The black men who date white women must have noticed how much sharper their girlfriends and their families were. When that happens multiple times, and he is not dating high on the SES ladder, surely something clicks? Ghetto blacks probably do not have enough experience with whites to know. Ghetto blacks also do not drive the culture.

I expect this time around the mainstream media will ignore Murray’s controversial ideas on race, IQ and socioeconomic status as much as possible. They don’t want any “bad” ideas gaining potential traction with the public just when it seems like they’ve finally achieved a complete ideological stranglehold over society.
But just to put things in perspective, the original Bell Curve was given lead coverage in many mainstream publications back in 1994. It made the actual covers of Newsweek magazine, the left of center New Republic, the right of center (and pre-purge) National Review as well as the New York Times Sunday magazine.
(https://fair.org/home/racism-resurgent/)
The Times’ science writer Malcolm Browne not only recommended The Bell Curve to his readers but also Seymour Itzkoff’s The Decline of Intelligence in America and Philippe Rushton’s Race, Evolution and Behavior. He prefaced his review of these three books with the ominous warning that “The government or society that persists in sweeping their subject matter under the rug will do so at its peril.” (https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/00/06/04/specials/herrnstein-bell.html)
Even then-President Bill Clinton was asked by reporters about his thoughts on The Bell Curve, and responded by saying that he was “outraged” by the thrust of the book.
Meanwhile, boomercon House speaker Newt Gingrich said through his neo-con spokesman Tony Blankley that the Bell Curve was “completely wrong.” Ditto for the then-House Leader Richard Armey, who said he hadn’t read it and couldn’t comment. Establishment Republican talking heads across the board were flat-out dismissive of The Bell Curve’s and its findings.
(https://jonathantilove.com/charles-murrays-bell-curve/)
Good on Tucker. But afterward? The silence the book will receive will be so complete and pure that future scientists will use the void it creates in the media to test their most sensitive quantum-acoustical instruments. You’ve got the Ray Midge guarantee on that. “Indifference” will thereafter seem the cacophony of 100 galaxies going supernova simultaneously. Man may literally lose the ability to communicate with others given the silence levels this will generate. Tell your loved ones you love them while they can still hear you, I beg!
I went to my local Barnes & Noble to buy a couple of copies. They do not stock it. Apparently there’s no room between the Kendi books and Michele Obama hagiographies, but I think they may sell it mail order, but I’m mot giving them that business. I ordered 2 on bookshop.org. Book Depository carries it, but the website indicated a substantial wait.
It will generally be ignored, but not for the reasons that you think. It will be ignored because it was written for an age that has passed.

His arguments are relevant to whites who need to wake up and by having this book in print, they can refer to it when making reasonable assertions about race vis-à-vis job success and about race vis-à-vis violence. It is their DNA that causes negroes to fail and become violent.

Glenn Loury has Murray on his “The Glenn Show” video podcast at Bloggingheads this coming Monday, with John McWhorter in attendance, I believe. This show has gained prominence. Meghan Daum credited it with her shift away from garden-variety woke:
If you remember when Penn law professor Amy Wax got into hot water when she said blacks were never in the top 10 percent of her classes, rarely in the top half, and mostly in the bottom 10 percent, that happened of “The Glenn Show.”
Loury decided, against the advice of John McWhorter, his black sidekick on his show, to do an hour-long interview with Tucker Carlson this week, and he did an hour on the “Rubin Report.” Loury is critical of black culture, in a sort of Bill Cosby way, which is considered blaming the victim by the left.
I think an appearance on “The Glenn Show” is not something that can easily be ignored. (Rubin is another matter). Loury and McWhorter are really sharp interviewers. Loury in particular specializes in listening intently and then steelmanning his guest’s case, before offering his own opinion. Loury is on the econometrics side of economics and is not intimidated by math and numbers, which is relevant for Murray’s book.
In the case of The Bell Curve, the publisher famously sent out review copies only to a selected list of friendly writers, under embargo, but did not send copies to critics considered potentially hostile. I wonder if they repeated that tactic with Facing Reality? If they did, reviewers would have to obtain and read the book, take a little time to digest it and come up with their response, and depending on the outlet, do a pitch. So there could be reviews, but delayed.

Given the fanatical support Trump has enjoyed by tens of millions of people, blaming Trump for, well, anything seems like a copout. As much as I hate Hillary, she wasn’t wrong with her infamous “deplorables” speech. At what point do we stop blaming individual politicians and start blaming the scumbags and fools who support them?

If it’s not being reviewed, it’s because it’s too impeccably argued for them to pick apart and it’s impossible for them to discredit it.
He should’ve titled it “Face the Facts About the Blacks”, lol.
It has got to be very psychologically painful for a black person to accept HBD. In fairness to blacks, there is an extreme aversion among race-conscious whites to even entertaining the idea that Jews might be a superior race, akin to normies whites’ aversion to admitting that Jewish success is much more attributable to nepotism and ethnocentrism than to “valuing education.” But the facts certainly speak for themselves. Why are so many whites susceptible to Jewish control? Literal cattle and sheep are probably completely unaware of their nature and completely happy with living a pastoral life, under the control of their human and canine superiors. Perhaps the same can be said of most whites.
"Am I treated fairly by public services?"
That's a laugh. All white public servants are heavily indoctrinated and will always tend to favour minorities, racial or sexual, for their job or career's sake. Non-whites will favour their own group as usual.

I don’t know how Murray gets away with pretending that white racial consciousness is alien to America. Aside from a few periods in our history it’s been the norm. It’s still pretty common, and thanks to the democrats it’s bound to return with greater enthusiasm.
I don’t buy the idea that whites are special in that they are uniquely antiracist. It’s a sham. We’re pretty much the same as other people in that regard, but for the last few decades lots and lots of whites have profited from immigration, public service jobs that cater to black needs, and status signalling among others.
America’s defining national creed is material prosperity, not equality, liberty or democracy. We built our system to preserve, above all, our right to prosper. Nothing wrong with that. It worked really well. It even worked for American blacks, who are the wealthiest blacks on earth. In fact, if you want to base a civilization on anything, prosperity would probably be the most popular choice. It is in that sense that we are most democratic.
As for liberty and equality we aren’t so high up there. American Indians had more liberty than we do, and probably more equality, but we smashed them all the same to advance prosperity, which they really weren’t very good at, with a few exceptions, such as the Mandan, whom we admired because they were rich.
Getting to the point, we’ve pretty much run out of free land and resources, and we’ve got a lot more people. Increasingly, prosperity is a zero-sum game, so a lot more people are putting effort into taking stuff from others. That’s always happened, but it’s grown in scale and proportion. So you look at who has the most stuff to take, and it’s white men. And there you see how this whole equity thing has come about.
But there’s a problem with it, and not only the problem of extracting the wealth. The problem is that most rich whites seem to have hastily jumped on the bandwagon. Working age working class whites don’t have all that much to take anymore. This is why the SALT tax cap won’t be repealed despite all the screaming in NY and CA. Personally, I think that cap contributed a lot more to Trump hatred than people are letting on.
So now that rich whites find themselves in the cross hairs, how do they react? With irrational spite. They try to shove castration and racial shame on our children. “That’ll teach ’em!”
Again, it backfires. Most of the girls and boys sexually mutilating themselves turn out to be upper middle class. How do working class whites react? Well, judging from what I’ve seen over the past year they’re immune to it (i.e. they don’t notice it because they’re more interested in tiktok) or they resent it and develop contempt for teachers. I wouldn’t want to be a teacher today!
And that highlights another problem. The feeder line that replenishes the upper classes with talented working and middle class white kids is starting to fail. These talented youths provide fresh blood, energy and ambition. Some end up as excellent managers and executives, and some end up as much-needed down to earth, pragmatic wives of rich young men. That’s not going to happen as much when these kids believe the elites despise their moms and dads. So instead of joining the elite, they’ll form a competing elite.
All this will squeeze the current white elite like a vice. They will get defensive, scared and increasingly hostile and irrational. It will turn into a positive feedback where everything they do makes them more hated and consequently more punitive and hostile. They’re in a bad place, and I can kind of see that Charles Murray is trying to get them to pull their heads out of their asses, but as he admits it’s probably already too late.
But as far as preventing white racial identity from forming, especially in a racial competition for prosperity, that’s a pipe dream. Repressing it would burn up so much political capital and human resources that we’d all end up much poorer and our country much diminished. They might try it anyway, but Murray certainly shouldn’t offer them any moral justification for doing so.

Ditto for the then-House Leader Richard Armey, who said he hadn't read it and couldn't comment.

You’ve noticed that, eh?
Loury decided, against the advice of John McWhorter, his black sidekick on his show, to do an hour-long interview with Tucker Carlson this week, and he did an hour on the "Rubin Report." Loury is critical of black culture, in a sort of Bill Cosby way, which is considered blaming the victim by the left.
I think an appearance on "The Glenn Show" is not something that can easily be ignored. (Rubin is another matter). Loury and McWhorter are really sharp interviewers. Loury in particular specializes in listening intently and then steelmanning his guest's case, before offering his own opinion. Loury is on the econometrics side of economics and is not intimidated by math and numbers, which is relevant for Murray's book.
In the case of The Bell Curve, the publisher famously sent out review copies only to a selected list of friendly writers, under embargo, but did not send copies to critics considered potentially hostile. I wonder if they repeated that tactic with Facing Reality? If they did, reviewers would have to obtain and read the book, take a little time to digest it and come up with their response, and depending on the outlet, do a pitch.

To the Upper Class and Upper Middle Class this is considered a feature, not a bug. There is an obvious excess of “elites”, per Peter Turchin, so it is to be expected the UMC wants to pull up the metaphorical ladder. This is the real reason for discontinuation of the SAT and ACT; those tests enable the children of middle class families in flyover to have a chance of legit competition with the children of the UMC.
Downward mobility actually does a service to the social order, but naturally nobody in the UMC sees it that way, and it’s understandable because no one wants that for their own children. So we get absurd bits of corruption involving college acceptance scandals, and likely more such are on the way.
All this will squeeze the current white elite like a vice. They will get defensive, scared and increasingly hostile and irrational. It will turn into a positive feedback where everything they do makes them more hated and consequently more punitive and hostile.

…You really think you’re going to have it that easy?
They do? Like what?
They have a eugenic culture surrounding marriage.
They aren’t supposed to outmarry and the women are encouraged to marry a professional or successful business owner even if they aren’t sexually attracted to him.
In WASP culture it is much more accepted to marry purely out of attraction or personal compatibility.
In reality, parents would prefer their children marry other Jews so their grandchildren will be raised Jewish. Being a Jew, your social circle includes a bunch of other Jews, so sure, a lot of the time you do meet a nice Jewish girl and marry her, just like your parents wanted. But if you fall in love with a shiksa and marry her? Your parents moan a bit, but you still marry her.
As for the whole 'professional / successful business owner' thing -- in reality, if you're a liberal Jew in America, you can marry who you like, but Jewish parents do talk to their kids about life, and how life is a lot harder if you marry a deadbeat, and how attraction is important but it's not the only important thing and that they'll be happier in the long run if they marry someone as smart and ambitious as themselves. Then the kids make their own decisions.So do we, we just also have conversations about money, ambition, and intelligence.
Why don't you goyim also tell their kids this stuff? It's not like it's rocket science.

The way to mitigate racial differences is for whites to intermarry with Black people and have mixed children.
The funny thing about your comment is that Gone With the Wind is very much a Center-Left classic. You may be right that the bizarre caricature of it as “pro-Confederate” has blinded so many people that they are reasoning the way you describe. But it’s still pathetic if true. Gone With the Wind was no more “pro-Confederate” than All Quiet on the Western Front was “pro-Hohenzollern.” Both novels were byproducts of the post-WWI era when there was a lot of disillusionment with wars, particularly as the Great Depression seemed to show what a “world made safe for democracy” looked like.
All Quiet on the Western Front has nothing to say about Hohenzollern Germany’s imperial ambitions, such as were documented decades later by Fritz Fischer. It really just tries to give a sympathetic portrait of an average German soldier stuck in the trenches. Despite this, the German Right-wing of the 1920s were antagonistic to the author’s message. It was obvious that he was not rallying people to go and die for another Kaiser or Fuehrer.
Gone With the Wind came out much later vis a vis the American Civil War as opposed to All Quiet on the Western Front vis a vis the First World War. That is certainly part of what gave it a more friendly reception. Nobody in the South of the 1930s was trying to claim that the Confederates had only lost the war because of a stab in the back, the way that lying ideologues like Ludendorff tried to claim in Germany during the 1920s. Despite these differences in public reception, the parallel between the 2 books is obvious.
Gone With the Wind portrays the South as a victim of its own hubris. There are obvious analogies between the way that the most reckless Southern spokesmen viewed the onset of the American Civil War and the way that many people across Europe in the summer of 1914 were convinced they would be “home by Christmas!” All of this is portrayed in Gone With the Wind as the great folly of whole society. It was not written to be the sort of novel which makes someone want to put on a Confederate uniform and go fight the Yanks. If properly understood it really is a Center-Left story.

It looks to me like the spin off show is on https://nation.foxnews.com/ which is pay only. Could someone who has that give us some information about that version of the interview? Content, length, …?
Loury decided, against the advice of John McWhorter, his black sidekick on his show, to do an hour-long interview with Tucker Carlson this week, and he did an hour on the "Rubin Report." Loury is critical of black culture, in a sort of Bill Cosby way, which is considered blaming the victim by the left.
I think an appearance on "The Glenn Show" is not something that can easily be ignored. (Rubin is another matter). Loury and McWhorter are really sharp interviewers. Loury in particular specializes in listening intently and then steelmanning his guest's case, before offering his own opinion. Loury is on the econometrics side of economics and is not intimidated by math and numbers, which is relevant for Murray's book.
In the case of The Bell Curve, the publisher famously sent out review copies only to a selected list of friendly writers, under embargo, but did not send copies to critics considered potentially hostile. I wonder if they repeated that tactic with Facing Reality? If they did, reviewers would have to obtain and read the book, take a little time to digest it and come up with their response, and depending on the outlet, do a pitch. So there could be reviews, but delayed.Replies: @res, @MEH 0910
The replies (and the dogs that did not bark) to the last IQ test tweet are interesting. Imagine the response if someone else (especially someone white) made those tweets!
Also interesting is Dave Pinsen's tweet in the thread of the second tweet.

Thanks. Those tweets show Glenn Loury at his best. Direct and willing to confront reality head on. Though I think the difference between potential and IQ test results is important (and Glenn is well aware of this and is choosing his words carefully).

Everyone thinks Whites are easy to rule over until a Vlad comes along.

@John. I did indeed pause before I posted that degenerate garbage, but somehow I could not resist, a moment of weakness. I thought that those images might cause some folks to give their head a shake.
There’s all kinds of people who think Crumb is some kind of genius, but I know he is just another disturbed comic book hack who would fit right in at Charlie Hebdo.
I still wonder what his motivation was for W.T.N.T.O.A. The other crap he usually makes, it’s just stuff spontaneously pouring out of his deranged noggin, but this had to be otherwise fuelled.
We have a eugenic culture when it comes to genetic defects, sure. Every couple routinely gets tested before having children to make sure both parents aren’t carriers of something recessive, because no one wants a flipper baby. And you’ll rarely see a Jewish couple with, say, a kid with Down’s Syndrome, because we’re not idiots, we test for that sort of thing as soon as we can, and we have no issue aborting defectives.
Eh, this is a lot shakier. For not being supposed to outmarry, we sure do a ton of it. Only the strictly observant don’t outmarry — and they don’t integrate with broader society or have any of the sort of influence over it that tends to freak Unz readers out.
In reality, parents would prefer their children marry other Jews so their grandchildren will be raised Jewish. Being a Jew, your social circle includes a bunch of other Jews, so sure, a lot of the time you do meet a nice Jewish girl and marry her, just like your parents wanted. But if you fall in love with a shiksa and marry her? Your parents moan a bit, but you still marry her.
As for the whole ‘professional / successful business owner’ thing — in reality, if you’re a liberal Jew in America, you can marry who you like, but Jewish parents do talk to their kids about life, and how life is a lot harder if you marry a deadbeat, and how attraction is important but it’s not the only important thing and that they’ll be happier in the long run if they marry someone as smart and ambitious as themselves. Then the kids make their own decisions.
So do we, we just also have conversations about money, ambition, and intelligence.
Why don’t you goyim also tell their kids this stuff? It’s not like it’s rocket science.

…and here, from within the entire episode, is a link to the last segment, where Glenn Loury offers a qualified defense of Charles Murray’s book to counter John McWhorter’s critique:
