MY AWAKENING by David = Duke

Chapter 11: Race = History

=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80= =94-Table=20 of = Contents=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94= =E2=80=94-

The racial question is the key to world = history=E2=80=A6all is race, there=20 is no other truth - Benjamin Disraeli.

Science moves inexorably toward the truth of Race. Race is simply = genetics as=20 applied to the breeds of mankind and it speaks to us in blood types and=20 genotypes, in physical traits and mental abilities, in behavior and = temperament,=20 in human achievement and human failure. It tells us more about human = life than=20 cultural characteristics do because it is the engine that makes our = cultures=20 what they are. Culture is simply a veneer reflecting the deeper genetic = makeup=20 of people. Race bequeaths diversity to the planet that affects all = aspects of=20 life. As the voices of science become more articulate on race - history = and=20 social studies speak to us just as powerfully on the subject.

Recently, a distraught friend called me and told me how Jimmy, his=20 first-grader, had come home from school eager to tell his father that he = had=20 learned where civilization came from. The 7-year-old boy led his father = to his=20 lighted globe and immediately pointed to the heart of the African = continent. He=20 proudly announced, =E2=80=9CThat=E2=80=99s where Black people and the = first civilizations came=20 from!=E2=80=9D Stunned by his answer, my friend asked his child, = =E2=80=9CJimmy, can you tell me=20 where White people came from?=E2=80=9D =E2=80=9CI dunno,=E2=80=9D said = the little blue-eyed boy.

The ultimate determinant of fitness for civilization is not IQ tests = or=20 psychological studies but the straightforward barometer of historical=20 performance. Even back in the time of my initial racial awakening, there = was=20 some laughed-at babble about =E2=80=9Cgreat Black = civilizations.=E2=80=9D Obscure Afrocentrist=20 claims looked upon as ludicrous in the 1960s are now frequently taught = in public=20 schools.

Afrocentrism, or the idea that civilization originated in Black = Africa,=20 thrives although there is not a shred of evidence that even a single = Black=20 civilization ever developed in sub-Saharan Africa. Even ancient Egypt is = being=20 claimed as a Black civilization, despite the fact that the oldest = Egyptian=20 mummies found are distinctly Caucasian, classed as such by innumerable=20 anthropologists and archeologists. Any modern medical investigator, such = as=20 those who identify badly decomposed human remains, would immediately = deem them=20 as White. Even the fact that prominent-nosed, fair-skinned and = straight-haired=20 Whites are the subjects of the art and hieroglyphics of the Egyptian = tombs has=20 not deterred egalitarians from desperately clinging to fantasies that = ancient=20 Egypt was an example of Black historic achievement. They have gone so = far as to=20 depict Queen Cleopatra, who was wholly of Greek lineage (the last of the = Ptolemies, who ruled from 330 to 30 B.C.), as an afro-wearing Black = woman. Some=20 of the purveyors of =E2=80=9CBlack history=E2=80=9D solemnly allege that = the Greeks stole=20 philosophy and civilization from Africa. One would be hard pressed to = understand=20 how one steals civilization. If a nation copies another=E2=80=99s = inventiveness or=20 ideas, does that stop the originator from using it? And if a people are = gifted=20 enough to create a great civilization, art, philosophy, and mathematics, = what=20 keeps them from continuing to replenish the fountainhead of human=20 accomplishment?

The inescapable fact is that Black Africa has neither created nor = even been=20 able to sustain a high civilization. One of the most respected = historians of the=20 20th century, Arnold Toynbee, listed what he calls 33 historic = civilizations.=20 Most are European, some are Asian but none are Black.

Poor Black historical performance correlates with the evidence of = marked=20 differences in intelligence between Blacks and Whites. In America, = school=20 children are taught relentlessly about the great achievements of Black=20 Americans. With a straight face, teachers recount the most important = Black=20 contributions to the modern world, and then give examples such as the = traffic=20 light and the paper bag.

The very fact that these things are listed as great Black = achievements=20 betrays their paucity. No Black is to be found in Michael Hart=E2=80=99s = The 100: A=20 Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History.1 Perhaps = even more=20 telling is that not even one Black achievement is found in Issac = Asimov=E2=80=99s=20 listing of 1,500 great attainments in his Chronicle of Science and=20 Discovery.2 Far from being a racist, Asimov publicly expressed = a belief=20 in racial equality and was a self-described liberal.

Can the invention of the traffic light or the paper bag remotely = compare to=20 the development of the Pythagorean Theorem, the invention of the first = airplane=20 or the first steam engine, the engineering of the Pyramids, the = architecture of=20 the Parthenon or the Roman aqueducts, the invention of the printing = press, the=20 development of the smallpox vaccine, the creation of genetic = engineering, the=20 invention of the transistor, or the mathematics and genius that took men = to the=20 moon? Such comparisons surely do not demonstrate racial equality. = Instead, they=20 suggest a disparity that goes far beyond the differences in intelligence = indicated by mere IQ tests. It must be remembered that almost all of the = great=20 achievements of mankind were the products of the most intelligent four = or five=20 percent of the population. As The Bell Curve 3 and every other IQ study = have=20 shown, if one group has an average IQ about 15 percent lower than = another, it=20 does not mean that the lower group will have 15 percent fewer geniuses = than the=20 smarter group. The percentage of geniuses will differ by a rate of more = than 44=20 to 1 in favor of the more intelligent group. Some researchers say it is = closer=20 to 100 to 1, depending on how high the genius IQ level is set.

The standard response of racial egalitarians to the fact that = Blacks=E2=80=99 account=20 for only a small percentage of great achievements is that Black = societies were=20 not advanced enough or because their societies were = =E2=80=9Coppressed.=E2=80=9D Of course, such=20 an argument is only begging the question, for what could have caused = this lack=20 of advancement or habitual =E2=80=9Coppression=E2=80=9D over thousands = of years? If the=20 capabilities for what we call civilization are the same among the races, = why did=20 Blacks not develop even one? In all of Black Africa beneath the Sahara, = they=20 never developed any writing and never used the wheel! There is today = only one=20 vibrant nation, the Republic of South Africa, a nation now heading = rapidly to=20 the same fate of the rest of Black Africa with the ongoing removal of = White=20 leadership and skills.

Whites dominated investment, government, education, medicine, = training and=20 communication in Africa for 200 years. But in the 40 years since the = departure=20 of Europeans, almost every Black African nation has steadily declined in = its=20 income, education, health care, sanitation, civil rights and other = societal=20 levels. The disintegration in some nations such as the Sudan and Zaire = has been=20 slowed only by the fact that once they have fallen to such low levels, = there is=20 simply little room for further decline. In their utter despair, the = struggling=20 remnants in many African nations have actually invited Europeans back, = and the=20 increased Western investment and aid should improve, even if only = marginally,=20 the current appalling conditions.

Africa=E2=80=99s social disaster cannot be blamed on lack of = resources. The continent=20 is the greatest source of untapped resources in the world. In an age = where many=20 First World nations have exhausted their resources, Africa has had an = excellent=20 opportunity, which it has squandered. From the early 1970s to the 1990s, = Black=20 Africa=E2=80=99s share of world trade has fallen 50 percent, its gross = national product=20 has declined about 2 percent per year, food production has declined = almost 20=20 percent, malnutrition has increased, genocidal warfare has increased, = and the=20 continent has even less a semblance of democracy than it had just 25 = years=20 ago.1

Skyscrapers built and once maintained by Europeans in Nigeria now = have=20 intermittent electricity and toilets that overflow. Sanitation, = hospitals, power=20 generation and telephone services all depend on financial aid and = imported=20 Europeans must keep them running even at the most minimal levels. = European=20 colonialists who once curbed the bloody tribal warfare were no longer = present to=20 stop the Hutus and the Tutsis from murdering between 600,000 and = 1,000,000=20 people in Zaire. European colonialists who outlawed slavery in Africa = over 100=20 years ago are no longer present in great enough numbers to stop the = enslavement=20 of tens-of-thousands of Africans today. Slavery is technically outlawed = in every=20 country in the world, but in Africa it is still widespread. It is = present to a=20 degree in almost every African nation. Sudan, Ghana and Mauritania, in=20 particular, are acknowledged as world leaders in the slave trade. In the = Nuba=20 Mountains of Sudan alone, 30,000 African children were sold into slavery = in the=20 mid-1990s for the price of two chickens each.2

Racial Egalitarians blame Europeans and White racism for the African=20 disaster. Some have argued that the Europeans did not adequately prepare = Africa=20 for independence. Yet while the decolonization went on, some European = nations=20 adamantly maintained that more time was needed to develop the African = nations=20 before their independence. Such claims were dismissed by White liberals = in the=20 West and by African tin-pot revolutionaries as racist and patronizing. = Of=20 course, the very idea of a need for preparation for independence begs = the=20 question, for who prepared the European nations for their = independence?

Of course egalitarians always have an excuse for Black historical = failure.=20 The latest apologia for the lack of African culture argues that climatic = and=20 ecological factors facilitated development of civilization in Eurasia = but=20 prevented it in Africa.3 Jared Diamond though, does not answer the = question of=20 why successful colonization by the Arabs preserved civilized qualities = for=20 centuries (until the colonist=E2=80=99s race was subsumed by the native = Black=20 population), and why the spark of civilization in Africa only burned = when the=20 European was there to nurture and sustain it.

Race and Nation

When the race is good, so is the place =E2=80=94 Ralph = Waldo=20 Emerson

As I became more aware of the profound biological differences between = the=20 races and better understood the impact of these differences on = education, crime,=20 poverty, and other societal areas, I began to read about the historical=20 realities of race and culture.

If racial composition can have great impact on a school, how much = does it=20 have on a nation? Can race be instructive about the development and = conditions=20 of nations? One of my friends in high school, George Cardella, came from = Colombia. He spoke to me at length about the conditions of his own and = other=20 South American lands. Often his revelations of the low living standards = and=20 crude human values startled me. He was conscious of his light eyes and = European=20 Spanish ancestry and talked frankly about the racial realities of his = and other=20 South American nations.

In geography class my teacher pointed out that South America has more = potential resource development than North America. It is larger in = temperate=20 land area, richer in resources, more varied in climate and topography, = and had=20 quite a head start being intensively settled and exploited earlier than = North=20 America. The question naturally arose, =E2=80=9CWhy then are the = countries south of the=20 Rio Grande usually so much poorer, more unhealthy, less educated, and = less free=20 than those in the United States and Canada?=E2=80=9D

South America had substantial settlements, and in some places - even=20 universities, before the rudimentary outposts at Jamestown and Plymouth. = Spain=20 and Portugal, nations with a rich European cultural heritage, settled = the=20 region. The modern-era discovery of America by Christopher Columbus = occurred the=20 same year as the victory over the Moors, finally expelling them from all = of=20 Spain after a struggle lasting hundreds of years. The Spanish = conquistadors were=20 fit and fearless, forged by the crucible of war and a fight for freedom = that=20 spanned generations. Suddenly the national unity and purpose born of the = victorious war with the Moors shifted to conquering and civilizing a new = land in=20 the New World. It wasn=E2=80=99t long until the auburn-haired, = green-eyed Isabella ruled=20 Spanish possessions larger than the size of all of Europe.

The Spanish and Portuguese ruthlessly exploited the native population = of the=20 Americas, and those aboriginals they did not kill in war, disease often=20 dispatched. The discovery of precious metals such as gold and silver and = the=20 vast tracts of land then in possession of the Spanish throne encouraged = the=20 Spanish to integrate with and use the native population to develop the=20 resources. Spanish rulers were spread thin in the immense empire, a tiny = minority in a sea of color. Because the physical and psychological = character of=20 the Indians adapted poorly to servitude, in some regions, to satisfy = their need=20 for laborers, they imported Black slaves from Africa.

Whether conquistador or priest, their primary task was exploitative = in=20 nature: the conquistador to cultivate the land=E2=80=99s riches, the = priest to harvest=20 the inhabitants=E2=80=99 souls. Living in a land with few White women = but ample Indian=20 maidens and Black slave women, mixed liaisons and marriages were common, = although such unions were looked down upon by the more aristocratic = classes, who=20 often sent their sons and daughters home to Spain to find a husband or = wife.

The Spanish built Mexico and their other colonies throughout the = Caribbean,=20 Central and South America in their own image. They established schools,=20 government buildings and churches and carried the art, technology and = culture of=20 European civilization to the New World. In addition to Spain and = Portugal, Great=20 Britain, France and Holland also had colonies and possessions in the = Western=20 Hemisphere. In this vast expanse, only the 13 American Colonies and = Canada had=20 White majorities.

In North America, where there was a presence of non-Whites, whether = slave or=20 free, social intercourse among Europeans was exclusively White. In North = America, Europeans came over by the hundreds of thousands, bringing = their=20 families with them, and the farming lifestyle made large families = desirable,=20 causing little shortage of women, except at the frontier. Thus America = and=20 Canada became overwhelming White nations, while the Caribbean, Central, = and=20 South Americas remained mostly non-White, except for a veneer of White=20 leadership and control.

It seemed obvious to me that the overwhelming difference between the = Canadian=20 and American colonies, and the rest of the Americas was simply that of = race. I=20 discussed some of these facts with my geography teacher in high school, = Mrs.=20 Weir. She was a dyed-in-the-wool egalitarian who blustered that there = were other=20 factors that I failed to consider in my hypothesis. Her first counter = argument=20 was that North America was mostly Protestant and thus driven by the work = ethic=20 intrinsic to that denomination. My retort was easy: the Renaissance of = Western=20 civilization itself began in northern Italy, an exclusively Catholic = society.=20 And Quebec, a North American city, was not Protestant but had living = standards=20 far more similar to Protestant America than to Mexico or Brazil.

Next she tried to argue that it was simply the democratic traditions = of North=20 America compared to the autocratic ones of South America that have made = such=20 pronounced differences. I pointed out that history is full of examples = of both=20 tyrannies that had become democratic and democracies that had lost their = freedoms. The aristocracies of Europe certainly became great and modern = nations.=20 Many of the governing constitutions of the Middle- and = Southern-Hemisphere=20 nations were modeled directly on our own U.S. Constitution, but those=20 instruments of law did not save them from poverty, massive corruption, = tyranny=20 and assassination, continuous revolution, illiteracy, disease, and = primitive=20 lifestyles and conditions.

I asked her, =E2=80=9CWhen one considers that there are dozens of = nations in the=20 Caribbean and the Americas, and there have been hundreds of revolutions = and=20 marked political changes over the centuries, are we supposed to believe = that=20 none of them ever got it right?=E2=80=9D In response to her silence, I = blurted out,=20 =E2=80=9CPerhaps the thing that really makes or breaks a nation is not = its institutions=20 but the race of its people. =E2=80=9C

Race can also be seen in the differences that exist among the many = different=20 nations of the Americas. Costa Rica is readily acknowledged as the most = advanced=20 nation in Central America. It has a reputation as the least corrupt = government=20 and the highest living standard and literacy rate in the region. It also = prides=20 itself on being the Whitest nation of Central America. The most advanced = nations=20 of South America are Argentina, Uruguay and Chile - the nations with the = continent=E2=80=99s highest percentages of Europeans. The racial truth = can also be seen=20 even within nations themselves. Brazil, for instance, is much like two = different=20 nations when one considers the backward Black regions in the north and = the more=20 European-like ones in the South. When I visited Brazil in 1991, I = readily=20 noticed how the population became Blacker and poorer as one neared the=20 traditional lands of the Black slave plantations and whiter and = wealthier in the=20 more mountainous regions. (The same is true for the old plantation = =E2=80=9CRiver=20 parishes=E2=80=9D of Louisiana as compared to the Whiter ones.)

It became obvious to me that if America=E2=80=99s demography changes = into one=20 resembling that of South America, we will become like those societies. = We will=20 lose our precious heritage and way of life. I became convinced that race = is the=20 dominant force of society, influencing every aspect of our lives. Even = if a=20 society does not overtly state it or even acknowledge it, race imprints = nations=20 - just as it does individuals - with characteristics and traits that=20 egalitarianism cannot explain away.

The lessons of race taught by the history of the Western Hemisphere = are=20 pertinent to the history of all nations and all cultures. One can even = examine=20 prehistory and find that there have always been tribes that shared a = particular=20 gene pool and common characteristics that distinguished them. Nations = arose from=20 people who shared a common heritage. They have not always been = monoracial, but=20 they were always formed by a dominant people that made the country in = their own=20 image, their own culture, values, language and artistic tastes. Nations = were not=20 determined strictly by geography, as borders were often poorly defined = and=20 amorphous, but by the people who populated them. For instance, whether = the=20 people were Assyrians, Egyptians, Jews, Greeks, Romans, or the French, = nations=20 arose out of the races or subraces that composed them. The term France, = for=20 instance, came from the name of the people who rebuilt the country after = the=20 fall of the Roman Empire, the Franks. One can trace the history of = nations in=20 the racial history and character of its inhabitants.

One of the first history books my father gave me to read in grade = school was=20 H. G. Wells=E2=80=99 classic The Outline of History.1 Its theme is the = rise and fall of=20 nations. A great people arise having intelligence, strength and = ambition. They=20 create a powerful society and conquer their less fit neighbors. And then = begins=20 a process of absorbing the conquered in their nation-state. The traits = that=20 originally led them to victory and dominance are lost as they gradually = absorb=20 the defeated population. Invariably the process begins again, and = another people=20 come on the scene and conquer, only to once more be absorbed by those = they had=20 vanquished. Such a pattern was obvious to me in studying the Americas, = but now,=20 as I read more history, it became obvious to me that the race factor is = present=20 in the rise and fall of every civilization. In fact, in every fallen=20 civilization there had been a racial change from the original founding=20 population. The only real justification for the survival of a nation is = a racial=20 one - the survival of that specific population as a distinct genetic = entity, as=20 a source for the next generation. Otherwise, such a nation would not be = worth=20 defending in a world of many nations.

Historians such as Toynbee, Durant and Spengler have chronicled the = emergence=20 and decline of nations. Interestingly, every great civilization that has = graced=20 the Earth fell into decay and destruction. Ours is simply the last of = many=20 civilizations that have risen only to subsequently decline. The ultimate = question of the historians is why civilizations have this cycle. There = are many=20 theories on why civilizations decline. Some argue economic downturns, = some say=20 political corruption, some argue military weakness and defeat, some = simply say=20 moral decay from the breakdown of religious tradition, some argue class = warfare,=20 some say wealth always breeds degeneration. There are as many theories = as there=20 are historians, but one factor is present in the rise and fall of every=20 civilization known to man: the race factor. The racial group that built = the=20 original civilization lost its dominance, often even its genetic = integrity.

Before I learned about race, I too had my theories, based on what I = had read.=20 Mine were based purely on the symptoms of the decline rather than on the = underlying factors causing the symptoms. A book written over a hundred = years ago=20 by a French scholar, Count Arthur de Gobineau, proposed a hypothesis on = the=20 decline of civilization that had me thinking about the issue for weeks, = and it=20 ultimately led me to my world-view on the race issue. De = Gobineau=E2=80=99s Inequality=20 of the Races2 was written before Darwin=E2=80=99s Origin of Species3 and = long before=20 many of the modern principles of biology and psychology, but it put = forth the=20 startling propositions that populations were undergoing change in their=20 biological character, and that civilization was ultimately the product = of=20 biology: the racial characteristics of its founders.

De Gobineau claimed that civilizations declined because the inherent = makeup=20 of its creators had changed. The racial quality of the people had = declined. He=20 saw it as an intra-racial and inter-racial weakening of the = culture-creating=20 race. It was inter-racial in that the cosmopolitan nature of the empire = caused=20 racial-mixing with alien peoples and declining birthrates among the = founding=20 race accompanied by overpopulation of the mixed multitudes. De Gobineau = also=20 recognized a decline intra-racially in that, he saw among the ruling = race, the=20 most intelligent and productive citizens had the fewest children, while = the=20 lower elements were extremely prolific.

De Gobineau wrote during the mid-19th century, before modern biology, = which=20 meant that his book was bound to contain errors. Yet the many principles = that he=20 got right were astounding. De Gobineau was well traveled for his time, = and he=20 had the power to dispassionately observe and interpolate what he=20 encountered.

Once one understands race, it is easy to recognize the racial = component in=20 the history of nations and its role in contemporary societies around the = world.=20 A classic example of race history is the study of the Egyptian = civilization.=20 Purveyors of =E2=80=9CBlack history=E2=80=9D make the ludicrous claim = that Egypt was a Black=20 civilization. They point to some Negroid features in the last of the = Pharaohs as=20 proof of this contention. It is indeed true that the last Pharaoh may = have been=20 part Black. At the end of 3,000 years, there might have been intrusion = of some=20 Black genes into the ruling family. That fact does not make the basis of = Egyptian civilization Black anymore than Jesse Jackson becoming = president of the=20 United States would make the signers of our Declaration of Independence = Negroes.=20 Black genes in the Egyptian royal family signified the end of the = Egyptian=20 civilization (just as Jesse Jackson being elected president would be an = epitaph=20 for America).

There are thousands of surviving hieroglyphics depicting the builders = of the=20 Egyptian civilization as White people (some with reddish hair and light = eyes).=20 The oldest recovered mummies show the remains to be White. Egypt had a=20 civilization in some way reminiscent of the Old South. As the = aristocratic White=20 society of the South bought Black slaves from the African slavetraders, = Egyptian=20 Whites brought Black slaves up for labor from the lower Nile. Over = thousands of=20 years licit and illicit sexual contact between the races eventually = carried=20 Black genes even into the royal family. The completion of that process = coincided=20 perfectly with the demise of the longest enduring set of dynasties the = world has=20 ever seen and the collapse of the Egyptian civilization.

Egypt today has a varied population, from the purest of Blacks to a = vast=20 mixed population and even a small White minority. The lighter elements = are the=20 educational, scientific, political, and business elite.

Few peoples have fallen as far as the once great Egyptians have. The = Egyptian=20 nation is one of the poorest on Earth, with rampant poverty and crime. = There are=20 an estimated 60,000 street beggars in Cairo alone, and thousands of = infants are=20 purposely blinded or crippled and put on the street to beg, filling the = coffers=20 of cruel masters.

The racial story of Egypt is a clear and dramatic one because of the = obvious=20 racial impact of the admixture of the Black race. Even civilizations = that=20 underwent less dramatic racial mixing than did Egypt lost the impetus of = their=20 cultures.

Ancient Greece was probably the most culturally and artistically = advanced=20 civilization the world has ever seen. Probably 98 percent of Greek art = has been=20 lost over the last two millennia, yet we still marvel at the = magnificence of=20 their architecture, sculpture, paintings, poetry, songs, plays, = philosophy, and=20 literature. Not only were the Greeks great thinkers and artists, they = were also=20 great warriors, having conquered almost all of the known world. = Alexander the=20 Great, actually an Aryan Macedonian, at one time in his short life had = even=20 expanded the Greek empire as far as the plains of India. The Greeks = accomplished=20 all this although the total population of Athens and Sparta combined = never=20 exceeded 250,000 people.

Greek civilization is called the Golden Age, and the Greek people = were=20 described as a golden people because of the presence of so many blondes. = Greek=20 literature is full of descriptions of fair-complected, light-eyed = people. Their=20 sculptures record their physical traits, for they were a tall, = magnificent=20 people who attended to the health and beauty of their bodies just as = they did to=20 their creative minds.

The Greeks, much as the Spanish in South America, were few in numbers = but=20 conquered and administered over vast populations and land areas. = Alexander=20 decided to deal with the problem by urging his soldiers and sailors to = marry the=20 ruling-class women of the countries Greece ruled. On one occasion, = 10,000 Greek=20 soldiers married 10,000 Persian women in a mass ceremony. Although those = unions=20 were later voided, they symbolized the Greek strategy for their = imperialism.=20 Alexander thought he was binding the loyalty of the nations he subdued = and=20 simply creating more Greeks. Other Greeks came home with their foreign = brides=20 initiating a process that undermined their whole civilization. = Non-Greeks from=20 all over the Mediterranean world immigrated to Greece for the same = economic and=20 social reasons that Mexicans cross the Rio Grande. Much like the great = trading=20 cities of the world today, Greek cities became a melting pot of diverse = races.=20 Over the centuries few Greeks retained the physical characteristics = described in=20 the Odyssey and captured for eternity in their preserved sculptures we = marvel at=20 today. A people were lost in an alien genetic flood, and the vitality of = the=20 civilization ebbed away, only to be found in the writing, remnants and = ruins of=20 the past.

Since the fall of the Greek civilization, the peninsula has been = replenished=20 frequently by migrations from the north, and there are still genes of = the=20 original Greeks in some of its citizens today. The nation, though, is a = shadow=20 of the splendor of what once was, and still finds its highest meaning in = its=20 glorious antiquity.

In many ways the great Roman civilization resembled that of the = Greeks. The=20 founding Romans were called patricians. Random House Webster=E2=80=99s = Electronic=20 Dictionary defines patrician as follows:

patrician n.

a person of noble or high rank; aristocrat.=20
a person of breeding, education, and refinement.=20
a member of the original hereditary aristocracy of ancient Rome, = having=20 such privileges as the exclusive right to hold certain offices.=20
(in the later Roman and Byzantine empires) a nonhereditary = honorary title=20 or dignity conferred by the emperor. (emphasis mine)

As Rome ruled the known world, the city of Rome itself became the New = York=20 City of the ancient world. Roman chroniclers talked about walking in the = streets=20 of Rome in its declining period as if it were a foreign land filled with = alien=20 appearances and languages. One can trace the decline of Roman power = directly=20 with (as the fourth definition shows) the transition of the patrician = from a=20 hereditary title to an honorary one. Another sign of the genetic basis = of the=20 original Roman civilization can be found in the common Jewish word = gentiles,=20 which originated from the Roman term gens, a term used to denote the = true Roman=20 families that built and for a time ruled the Roman empire. To the Jews = of those=20 days the gens or gentiles represented the enemy that had conquered them = in=20 Palestine. The very term Gens is the root of words such as gentleman, = gent,=20 genes, genetics, genocide, genus, and other terms of heredity.

gens (jenz), n., pl. gentes

a group of families in ancient Rome claiming descent from a common = ancestor and united by a common name and common ancestral religious = rites.=20
Anthropol. a group tracing common descent in the male line; = clan.
gens=20 race, people. See GENUS, GENDER

gentleman n.

a man of good family, breeding, or social position.

Rome never sank to the level of modern Egypt because the racial = change was=20 far less dramatic than in that north African nation, but it certainly = declined.=20 Luckily Italy enjoyed the fresh, hardy European genes of the northern = barbarian=20 invaders and conquerors who were not as culturally advanced but who had = the same=20 genetic potential as the original Romans and their patrician = standard-bearers.=20 Barbarian is a term that poorly describes these invaders, for they had a = strong=20 moral fiber and family life and a rich cultural heritage, as well as the = intelligence and planning in war to defeat the schooled and experienced = Roman=20 armies.

When the Renaissance finally laid the cornerstones of our modern = Western=20 civilization, it found its impetus primarily not from the great city of = Rome=20 with all its history, centers of learning, and advantages, but from the = northern=20 Italian cities of Florence, Padua, and Venice. Rome still contained a = lot of=20 original Roman blood, but it was no longer the Rome of the Romans, it = was now an=20 international city, a melting pot of races from around the known world,=20 including even some Germanic blood, Egyptians, Semites, and others. The=20 Renaissance found its driving force where the original Roman genes still = dominated. Even today, the Northern provinces are the most economically = sound=20 and robust parts of all Italy. By itself the per capita GNP of northern = Italy is=20 equal to that of the strongest economies in Europe.

One can see the racial expression of the Renaissance in = Michaelangelo=E2=80=99s=20 masterful fresco of an Aryan depiction of God and Adam on the ceiling of = the=20 Sistine Chapel. Falsifying history has become a full-time occupation for = many in=20 the educational and cultural establishment of America. Not only has = Cleopatra=20 become Black, it appears that the great Carthaginian general Hannibal = has begun=20 to take on a decidedly Negro appearance. Budweiser Beer did a poster and = =E2=80=9Ceducational=E2=80=9D series called =E2=80=9CThe Great Kings of = Africa=E2=80=9D in which it depicted=20 Hannibal as resembling Black boxing promoter Don King.

Of course, Hannibal was White. Contemporary sources described him in = terms=20 that leave no doubt that he was as White as the ancient Carthaginian = people he=20 led. What=E2=80=99s more, his death mask shows the thin nose and lips = and high forehead=20 of the Caucasian. The mask bears no Negro features. The Black adoption = of famous=20 Europeans as their own does not end with Cleopatra or Hannibal. They = have even=20 gone so far as to ludicrously allege Ludwig van Beethoven was Black, and = for=20 that matter anyone with curly hair and swarthy is claimed by = afro-centrists=20 desperate for validation.

Liberal historians act as if civilization and advanced nations = represent some=20 cosmic accident. To them, successful nations are just lucky, and but for = luck=20 one people could be either illiterate or poor, or cultured and rich. Yet = the=20 world has abundant examples of ecologically rich nations that are = culturally and=20 economically destitute and of resource-poor nations that are culturally=20 enlightened and economically rich. Nations can be found with long = histories that=20 are now either progressive or backward. Short national histories can = herald=20 great success or abject failure. Societies can be religiously devout or=20 ambivalent. There are poor devout nations, rich agnostic ones and = vice-versa.=20 Constitutions and laws on the books do not really tell us how free or=20 law-abiding a nation is, but race usually tells us a lot. There are = relatively=20 isolated nations that are wealthy and advanced, and ones in the thick of = cultural and economic traffic that are poor.

Is there one sizable well-run all-Black nation where the crime rate = is low,=20 the schools good, the government free and uncorrupted? Is there one with = high=20 longevity rates and low infant mortality, or with low illiteracy and a = high=20 standard of living?

The impact of race on history and contemporary social conditions can = be well=20 illustrated by comparing two nations: Haiti, and Iceland. Iceland sits = inside=20 the Arctic Circle. It has perhaps the most inhospitable geography of any = populated nation on Earth. It stands isolated and endures winter = conditions that=20 last almost three-quarters of the year. No forests grow there, and thus = it has=20 no wood or paper products. There is no oil, no natural gas and no coal. = Much of=20 the land is volcanic desert and glaciers so foreboding that the U.S. = space=20 program did training there for their lunar landings. Farming is almost=20 impossible because of the rock-filled soil, snow-covered mountains and = short=20 growing season. Few tourists visit the little island in the north = Atlantic. It=E2=80=99s=20 a land of clouds, little sunshine, and long winter nights. = Iceland=E2=80=99s only=20 resource is the fish they harvest on the great cod banks in competition = with=20 many other nations. They also have natural volcanic geysers that they=20 ingeniously use to heat their homes and businesses.

Compare this island to the island of Hispaniola and the nation of = Haiti, the=20 second oldest republic in the Western Hemisphere. It is a huge island = rich=20 beyond the dream of a poet=E2=80=99s fancy. Warm and beautiful, with = beaches, mountains=20 and clear waters, the topography is a tourist=E2=80=99s fantasy. It is = one of the=20 gateway islands to the Caribbean, the United States, Mexico and South = America -=20 a natural place for thriving international trade. Thick forests and rich = mineral=20 resources bless the island. The seafood in the waters around the nation = is=20 plentiful and valuable. Mild weather gives the island long and = productive=20 growing seasons and lush soil.

In the 18th century Haiti was the largest sugar producer in the = world.=20 Universities and other centers of higher learning kept the island = abreast of the=20 world=E2=80=99s progress and advances, and it became one of the richest = of France=E2=80=99s=20 overseas possessions - richer than any of the 13 original American = colonies.=20 Haiti came to be called the Jewel of the Caribbean.

All this ground to a halt in the late 1790s, when the egalitarianism=20 introduced by Whites fresh from the French Revolution precipitated a = Black=20 revolt in which, ultimately, the Black revolutionaries murdered nearly = every one=20 of the 40,000 White men, women, and children on the island. In the 200 = years=20 since the revolution, under one corrupt and tyrannical regime after = another,=20 Black Haiti has become one of the most dangerous, superstitious, and = backward=20 places on Earth. The vast majority of the people are illiterate, and = less than 3=20 percent finish primary education. It has one of the lowest per capita = incomes on=20 Earth, endemic crime and drug problems, wholesale destruction of the=20 environment, negligible education, high infant mortality and primitive = health=20 care, and its dominant religion is voodoo.

The efforts of American missionaries and educators have proven = futile. And=20 repeated military incursions have also failed. Three times in this = century U.S.=20 Marines were sent to bring =E2=80=9Cdemocracy=E2=80=9D to Haiti. The = first mission began in=20 1915. Marines remained for 19 years, building hospitals, power stations, = schools, and modern telephone exchanges, and more than 200 bridges and = 1,000=20 miles of paved roads. Upon their leaving the island reverted back to = complete=20 ruin and despotism. In 1958 Marines returned and began the whole process = over=20 again, with the same results.

In 1994 Americans again returned to Haiti, this time with 23,000 = troops as=20 part of a United Nations peacekeeping force. At least 500 troops are = expected to=20 remain until at least the end of the century to prevent Haiti from = reverting to=20 its old ways. Even with this modern force and accompanying massive U.S. = and U.N.=20 aid, Haiti is politically corrupt, wracked by AIDS and other diseases, = and=20 chronically criminal. As Haiti approaches the end of the 20th century, = the=20 capital, Port-au-Prince reeks of human waste and rotting garbage.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a British member of the Royal=20 Geographic Society, Hesketh Prichard, traveled to Haiti to study the = effects of=20 an entirely Black-ruled country. Upon his arrival he had strong = sympathies with=20 the natives, and he wanted to see how they fared in response to the = introduction=20 of White civilization, but without Whites ruling over them. He found = that=20 although Haiti had French laws and the workings of a civilization on = paper, it=20 was all an illusion of style without substance. The Haitian army, for = instance,=20 had 6,500 privates but the same number of generals, all with pompously = adorned=20 uniforms. They had hospitals with mud floors, train stations and tracks = but no=20 working trains, power-generating plants that generated no power, courts = and laws=20 and constitutional rights but only corruption and despotism. There were = Catholic=20 churches, but they were encumbered with primitive voodoo and animal = sacrifices.=20 Although Prichard regarded the natives as generally jovial, he found = them prone=20 to the cruelest human tortures and atrocities.

Prichard concluded that to Haitians the veneer of civilization is as=20 important as its substance. If they could dress and speak like a = European and=20 have institutions that in form seemed like that of the European, then = they=20 viewed themselves as equal to the European.

In asking the fundamental question =E2=80=9CCan the Haitian rule = himself?=E2=80=9D Prichard=20 writes the following:

The present condition of Haiti gives the best possible answer to the=20 question, and, considering the experiment has lasted for a century, = perhaps also=20 a conclusive one. For a century the answer has been working itself out = there in=20 flesh and blood. The Negro has had his chance, a fair field, and no = favor. He=20 has had the most beautiful and fertile of the Caribees for his own; he = has had=20 the advantage of excellent French laws; he inherited a made country, = with Cap=20 Haitien [A once beautiful town on the north coast of Haiti] for its = Paris. . . .=20 Here was a wide land sown with prosperity, a land of wood, water, towns = and=20 plantations, and in the midst of it the Black man was turned loose to = work out=20 his own salvation. What has he made of the chances that were given to = him? . .=20 .1

At the end of a hundred years of trial how does the Black man govern = himself?=20 What progress has he made? Absolutely none.

Iceland, on the other hand, even with all her disadvantages, is one = of the=20 best places to live on Earth. The nation publishes more books and = journals per=20 head of population than any other country in the world. It has some of = the=20 highest literacy rates and lowest infant mortality rates, lowest crime = and drug=20 rates, highest standards of living, best medical care, and the longest = standing=20 freely elected Parliament in the world: the Althing.

Suppose that by some incredible act, all the Icelanders were taken to = Haiti=20 and all the Haitians taken to Iceland. In five years the Icelanders in = Haiti=20 would be living in a paradise they would have built, while in Iceland. . = .I=20 suspect that most Haitians would be dead.

came to the conclusion that the liberals were in a way right about = the impact=20 of environment on the individual and groups. Environment has shaped us, = but the=20 environment that gave us the genetic code that so deeply influences us = came not=20 in the evolutionary millisecond of the individual=E2=80=99s short life = span, but over=20 thousands of years. That is why well-meaning efforts to improve some = races of=20 man through his environment invariably fail. And efforts to oppress = other races,=20 such as the nationalities in the former Soviet bloc, also fail in the = end.

There have been many uncivilized areas of the globe that rapidly = flourished=20 to economic, social and scientific achievement after having just the = slightest=20 contact with civilization. Conversely, other areas on the borders of=20 civilization for thousands of years never could adopt and sustain its = most=20 rudimentary characteristics. A perfect example is the traditional Sudan, = an area=20 that stretches across northern Africa just south of the Sahara. Rich in=20 grasslands, minerals, forests, swamps and even natural seaports in the = east that=20 brought trade and the learning of the civilized world, Sudan=E2=80=99s = only historical=20 bright spots were as colonial outposts of the Egyptians, Arab Muslims = and then=20 later the modern Europeans. Contrast the Sudan of today to the = descendants of=20 Rome=E2=80=99s colonial forays in Britain and France. Not only did those = nations adopt=20 the attributes of Roman civilization; they eventually far exceeded them. =

In the Sudan, after at least six thousand years of contact, it is = little=20 better off than it was in the times of the Pharaohs, in fact it is = arguably a=20 lot worse. In the last thirty years since colonial independence, the = quality of=20 life has rapidly disintegrated as the institutions and organization set = up by=20 the west have been abandoned. The character of genes is much stronger = than the=20 institutions of mankind, for institutions come and go, while the genes = are=20 forged over millennia.

It is the genes themselves that construct the very character of the = societies=20 in which they thrive. Every nation rises or sinks according to its = genes. Over=20 time, genes override every advantage or impediment. Human genes can make = nations=20 with the poorest of resources rich, or the richest poor. They can = inspire great=20 universities or make ruins where greatness stood. They can erect tyranny = over=20 once free men or resurrect freedom from the worst of oppression. Social=20 structures created by race can be imposed on another, but in time the = genes, if=20 preserved, will assert themselves. The power of the gene is the source = of space=20 travel or of squalor, of civilization or the jungle.

The great U.S. Senator from Mississippi, Theodore Bilbo once wrote = that if a=20 foreign nation conquered America and enslaved its people, destroyed its=20 buildings, its crops, its schools, its farms and its economy, that as = long as=20 our White heritage remained intact - we could build it all back even = better than=20 before. But he warned that if our heritage was lost, than our nation = would be=20 forever lost as well.

It is true that when I write of the things I love and cherish that I = can only=20 be subjective, for my values are the values of my own people. Some men = even=20 dispute the virtue of civilization itself. Freedom, beauty, love, = achievement,=20 they are all subject to the eye of the beholder. An Indian American = living wild=20 and free in the American forests and grasslands had his own idea of what = is=20 good, and that concept is certainly far more sublime than the mass = alcoholism=20 found in the Indian community of today. The African=E2=80=99s rhythmic = pounding of the=20 drum, his sexual and physical bliss, bare feet against the warm soil, = and his=20 sound sleep beneath the open stars have always answered the needs of his = soul.=20 Could anyone deny that such may certainly answer a young Black = man=E2=80=99s heart=20 better than imprisonment in the jails of America, or the slavery of = crack and=20 heroin, or gunshot wounds suffered in the night?

Those nations left to determine their own destiny will always live = more in=20 consonance with their natural abilities and spirit. In the end genes = will out.=20 Europeans create and maintain European standards of civilization; = Africans=20 create societies much different. By our Western standards those = societies do not=20 measure up, but if Blacks are allowed to do so, they will create a = society=20 reflective of the spirit inside them, and as such can only be truly = appraised by=20 their own people. An old European proverb states, =E2=80=9Cman is = happiest at home.=E2=80=9D I=20 believe that such is true for all men and all races of men.

At the time of the French Revolution, Ernst Arndt, a German patriot = seeking=20 to resist the imposition of revolutionary-egalitarian ideology, wrote in = his=20 Catechism for the Teutonic Armyman that freedom was the =E2=80=9Cright = to live in one=E2=80=99s=20 own homeland in accordance with the laws and traditions of one=E2=80=99s = ancestors=E2=80=9D=20 (Hans Ghnther Religiosity of the Indo-Europeans).

Going through some of my old notebooks from college, I found some = aphorisms=20 that I had written on the subject of race and history. I think they are = as=20 pertinent today as they were then.

People make nations. They make it in their genetic image. They = compose the=20 music, write the constitutions, create business and the economy, give = it its=20 soul and its spirit.=20
In the battle between genes and culture, genes will win out.=20
In the struggle between the influence of heredity and environment, = in the=20 long run, heredity will always prevail except when the environment = destroys=20 the one thing that man cannot restore: his genetic oblivion.=20
If a folk is genetically constructed to be free, no period of = tyranny can=20 ever permanently suppress them.=20
If they are genetically amenable to live in tyranny, democracy can = be=20 imposed on them. But left to themselves, they will eventually revert = to their=20 natural state.=20
Human ecology is as important a concept as Nature=E2=80=99s = ecology.=20
Races have the capacity to create great social environments, but = great=20 social environments can never make great races.=20
Intelligent peoples make great schools and universities. Higher=20 institutions of learning can only reflect the quality of the people.=20
The only ultimate way to improve a society is to improve the = genetic=20 capabilities of its people. The surest way to destroy a society is to = have=20 programs and policies that systematically favor higher reproduction of = the=20 genes of the least capable over the genes of the most capable.=20
It is the sin against the quality of the flesh that causes the sin = against=20 the spirit.=20
Widespread race-mixing is genocide.=20
Low birthrates is race suicide.=20
Massive immigration of alien races ultimately means genocide.=20
Integration of the races is rapid genocide.=20
Geographic separation creates races and supports their survival. =

History and geography spoke to me. It was not as though all these = ideas were=20 original to me, for writers and travelers from the earliest = civilizations wrote=20 and contemplated these truths, as well as many of the great thinkers of = the 19th=20 and 20th centuries. I now saw a racial picture entirely different from = when I=20 started my inquiry. America and most other White nations are following a = similar=20 course to the failed civilizations of the past and the failing = racially-mixed=20 societies of the present. When previous White empires degenerated and = dissolved=20 into the cacophony of racial mixture, there were always our racial = homelands=20 from which would come new generations to build and create civilization = anew.=20

This time, though, the homelands of our people - all the critical=20 fountainheads of our gene pool - are at risk. If all of Western = civilization=20 succumbs to the dark genetic flood, there is no more womb from which our = people=20 can again be born. I realized that we are in a battle not only for our = own=20 civilization this time, but also for the preservation of our expression = of life=20 on the planet.

Now it was time for me to look into the, social, economic, and = political=20 impact of race on my own nation.
