Abstract: Genetic research and statistical data have revealed pronounced racial and ethnic differences.
It is counter-productive to sweep such facts under the carpet. The racial concept is still relevant to the
understanding of the human condition. Since liberal-minded people tend to repress their negative feelings toward
other ethnicities and refuse to acknowledge racial differences or problems, an unconscious multicultural
complex develops. The extent to which people react with indignation when presented with sterile facts about
race is proportionate to the strength of the unconscious complex. There exists no other remedy than to bring facts
to light; facts which include considerable ethnic differences in IQ and upsetting interracial crime statistics.
This is a moral burden that must be carried by each and everyone. It includes the worriment of the future prospect
of Western culture, in view of ongoing mass immigration.
Keywords: ethnic IQ, crime statistics, the Other, multicultural complex, unconscious racism, eugenics,
Arabic reversal, mass immigration.
Introduction
Recent research has shown that there is a genetic signal of Neanderthals in all the non-African genomes. [1] As a consequence the traditional out-of-Africa theory, which was
regarded as the foremost anti-race theory, has become obsolete. The introduction of Neanderthal genes could provide
an explanation for the larger brain of non-Africans. Neanderthals had a significantly larger brain than Sapiens.
(It could have been as much as 20% larger.) This question has already arisen in earlier research (‘Could our
big brains come from Neanderthals?’. [2])
Even outside the realm of genetics, notions of ethnic differences are again topical. Today there exist racially
targeted pharmaceuticals. In biomedical studies, responses to medical therapies, such as drugs, are often compared
among populations divided according to traditional racial divisions. Although it is inadvisable to focus narrow-mindedly
on race, due to the import of cultural and environmental factors and natural genetic disparity,
‘race-neutral’ studies have been found to fail ethnic minorities who respond differently to
medication.
It is becoming more and more apparent that we are, after all, different. In the statistics that compare ethnicities
we find different degrees of aggressiveness and IQ. Such differences were earlier believed to originate solely from
environmental factors, such as poverty. Today, we are forced to acknowledge that such quite pronounced differences
might depend on race, after all. Below statistical figures show that the concept of race is still pertinent. Life
would have been easier if racial issues didn’t exist; but they do, quite by themselves, and whether we like it or
not.
Surreptitious racism
The race question mustn’t be swept under the carpet. One ought to clear the air sometimes and not lock every
painful problem into airtight compartments. If hypocrisy goes too far, people become neurotic, bending over
backwards just to avoid mentioning race. This sometimes creates more interpersonal problems than it solves, says
the author of the following article: ‘Seeing Race and Seeming Racist?’ [3]. Moreover, it’s the constant, vague,
just-below-the-surface acts of racism that impair performance, day in and day out. This form of surreptitious
racism magnifies when people remain politically correct and refuse to talk openly about painful questions (see
‘Racism’s Cognitive Toll: Subtle Discrimination Is More Taxing On The Brain’ [4]). Accordingly, it’s better to talk more openly about
race.
The question of unconscious racism is pertinent to this. At Uppsala university, Sweden, an experiment was
set up where people watched crime scenes on film. [5] Women were
much more prone to misjudge the scene and identify the immigrant as perpetrator. The researcher said that this was
due to the fact that women tend to be much more liberal than men in matters of immigration. So, they repressed
their negative feelings for immigrants, which caused them to point them out as perpetrators, instead. This is the
treacherous way in which the unconscious works. The conclusion is that a multiculturalist person is likely to be
unconsciously racist, due to repressed negative feeling, whereas a person who thinks critically in terms of
ethnicity and race is prone to point out the correct perpetrator, in this experiment the white person.
Statistics on IQ
Some say that race isn’t significant, but that poverty alone can explain the differences in criminal
violence. But what if poverty depends on race? The races do have different distributions of brain size and
intelligence quotient (IQ). Blacks have a lower average IQ and smaller average brain size relative to bodily
volume. The differences are significant and substantial. Blacks in the U.S. (who have about 20% White admixture),
the Caribbean, Britain, and Canada, average IQs of about 85. The lowest average IQs, Philippe Rushton says,
are found for sub-Saharan Africans, from 70 to 75. [6] According
to Kanazawa, however, it is as low as 63 in Ethiopia, which is the world’s lowest. (If correct, this is
surprisingly low.)
Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist, has published research which concludes that low IQ levels,
rather than poverty and disease, is the reason why African life expectancy is low and infant mortality high. His
paper, published in the British Journal of Health Psychology, compares IQ scores with indicators of ill health in
126 countries and claims that nations at the top of the ill health league also have the lowest intelligence
ratings. [7] A similar argument is provided by Richard Lynn
and Tatu Vanhanen. In IQ and the Wealth of Nations (2002) they argue that differences in national
income per capita correlate with differences in the average national IQ. [8]
Statistics on crime
The U.S. Department of Justice report, Criminal Victimization in the United States, 2005, provides us with
daunting crime statistics. [9] From that year’s report I
calculate that Blacks are an estimated 50 times more likely to commit violent crime against a White than vice
versa, and 167 times more likely to commit interracial robbery. (Especially the latter figure would vary much
between the years due to the scarcity of White on Black robbery). According to Table 42, black men committed 37,461
sexual assaults/rapes of white women compared to statistically zero (less than 10) White on Black. Keep in mind
that the reported rape figures are believed to represent less than half, probably only ca. 37-38% of the real
number.
• Total sexual assaults/rapes of white women: 111,490
• White offender and white victim: 44.5% or 49,613
• Black offender and white victim: 33.6% or 37,461
• Other (or unknown) offender and white victim: 21.9% or 24,416
• Total sexual assaults/rapes of black women: 36,620
• Black offender and black victim: 100% for 36,620
• White (or other) offender and black victim: 0% for 0
Although black men make up only 12.4% of the male population, in 2005 they committed 33.6% of the rapes of white
women and 100% of the rapes of black women. This amounts to 50% of total rapes, which means that black men are
hugely over-represented as rape assailants (see Table 42). As for interracial rapes, the imbalance is even worse.
It’s off the charts because there were a chocking 37,461 rapes of white women by black men and less than 10
rapes of black women by white men. It’s not possible to calculate the imbalance because the disproportion is
too big, and White on Black is statistically zero.
Assuming that white men make up 75% of the male population, a black man is almost 9 times more likely to commit a
rape than a white man (regardless of race of victim, see Table 40), and they account for virtually all the rapes of
black women. This is not only a problem in the States. More than 25% of South African men questioned in a survey
published by the Medical Research Council (MRC) in June 2009 admitted to raping someone; of those, nearly half said
they had raped more than one person. [10] Blacks also commit
robbery at a very high disproportion, including the vast majority of all robberies committed against Blacks. The
likelihood for a black person committing robbery is probably even higher than that for rape, but figures are more
uncertain due to the many cases with unknown race of offender (see Table 40).
Economic status can’t explain the extent of the racial imbalance in crime rates. The percentage of Blacks
living in poverty is higher than that of Whites. Still, there are more Whites living below the poverty line than
Blacks. According to the 2004 Census data, the Black poverty rate was 24.7% while the White poverty rate was
8.6%. [11] From a poverty perspective, one would expect the per
capita crime rate for Blacks to be higher than that of Whites, but the total number of crimes committed ought to be
much lower than the White number.
Obviously, if one believes that poverty generates crime, such as rape, poverty doesn’t even begin to explain
it. In the U.S., there were approximately 10.0 million white males and 4.7 million black males living in poverty in
2005. Although there were twice as many poor Whites than Blacks, it is not mirrored in the crime statistics. Even
if normalized for economic status, the disproportion of interracial rapes remains colossally high. Interracial
robbery is equally disproportionate, and other violent crimes are also disproportionate but to a lesser extent.
Discussion
What I am referring to in this article are facts from research. Personally, I am not good at measuring status, nor
am I prone to judge people according to any form of surreptitious status differential. Because this statistic is
hurtful to read, I expect people to carry a bit of moral pain together with the victims, their parents and spouses,
and not to dismiss the whole issue as racist. In the present day, many people seem to abandon their heart while
giving preference to the ideological intellect, saturated with liberalist, multiculturalist, and relativist
ideology.
Both the FBI Uniform Crime Report and the American Justice Department lay bare the same thing; the incidence of
Black on White violent crime is several times greater than White on Black violent crime in all categories,
especially rape and robbery. Such facts mustn’t be swept under the carpet, because people will continue
talking about it secretly, which is worse in the long run. Many people will tend to ignore such inconvenient facts
as they are afraid of being branded as racists. This is cowardice. Rape victims become even more humiliated when
their human value is downgraded by not being properly acknowledged.
The enormously disproportionate incidence of Black interracial crime is real and it should become public knowledge.
The mainstream press is deliberately hiding this inconvenient information. Instead, they tend to sensationalize
whatever White on Black rape they can find, such as the Duke Lacrosse case [12] and the Tawana Brawley case, [13]
both of which turned out to be hoaxes. The consequence of hypocrisy is that the psychic split is widening in the
collective mind, between a civilized politically correct consciousness and an instinctual emotional unconscious.
People tend to abandon their heart more and more, preferring to live according to their ideologically programmed
brain. To remedy this, the only way is to accept painful reality.
The Other
It is reasonable to question whether interracial crime statistics have any relevance as compared to overall
statistics. Our rational everyday mind tells us that we should take lightly to such peripheral things as
interracial crime statistics. However, unconsciously, people don’t take it lightly. We remain instinctual
creatures, and all kinds of fears obtain in the unconscious. The darker side of ourselves is easily stirred. I am
certain that the same figures would upset many people if they were reversed. All the multiculturalists would
condemn, in every public media, the cruelty and oppression in the hands of white people. Evidently, in repressing
the racial issue, we have created a collective psychological problem. If hypocrisy goes too far, people will become
neurotic, bending over backwards just to avoid mentioning race.
In South Africa white women can no longer travel alone by train. Formerly, black women could travel by train,
although they had to sit in certain places, which created an uproar. Yet, when white women cannot travel at all,
nobody even mentions it. In South Africa, by 2010, over 3200 white farmers had been murdered in politically
motivated violence since apartheid rule ended in 1994. [14] It
seems as if there is an enormous tolerance of racialist murders and apartheid as long as it is the white race that
suffers. Unconsciousness creates a hypocritical double-sided personality. To remedy this, it is necessary to
“clean the inside of the cup” by remaining conscious of evil, including the evils of the black
race.
What’s behind the intolerance of racial differences and the denial of painful facts? As many a psychoanalyst
has observed, many neurotic people today cannot accept otherness. There can only be likeness and unity. If
other people are going to be accepted, they must march under the same banner, and their ideas must coincide with
one’s own. Otherwise, the feeble ego is offended. The existence of the Other is experienced as a
potential threat; a questioning and a denial of the weak ego. If that’s the case, the Other will soon be
subjected to harassment and shut out. In the worst historical examples, the scapegoats were imprisoned in
extermination camps. In accordance with the current sameness ideology, it is not possible to accept “the
Negro” as Other, because that would necessitate apartheid.
The outsider is to be reintroduced into collective identification under the banner: “There is only One people
and One human fellowship. No other races or diverging individuals exist, nor have they the right to exist. In
that case they must be removed.” The ideology of racial homogenization is a notorious and
agonizing phenomenon that keeps returning in history in many different forms. Today, the Other is typically accused
of having “undemocratic” and racialist views.
What to do about it?
It’s not always necessary to take action. It is, in itself, wholesome to remain conscious of the shadowy side
of existence. In this way, personality helps carry the load of suffering people. Otherwise, a hypocritical
personality is created whose outside is clean and politically correct, while the unconscious side is rotting up.
Already Jesus identified this problem (Matt. 23:25-28). If we can’t ventilate painful issues such as these,
in what forum can we take issue with them? The answer is that it ends up in the unconscious, forming an unconscious
complex. The extent to which people recoil in denial and politically correct outrage when presented with such sterile
facts, accusing the messenger of racism, is proportionate to the strength of the unconscious complex. The
multicultural complex is real, as demonstrated in the Uppsala research referenced above. Unconscious
complexes cause all forms of disturbances, from stomach upsets to severe psychological symptoms, such as pointing
out the wrong person from the witness stand.
Lynn & Vanhanen have found that national income per capita correlates with average national IQ. [8] This means that a general lowering of IQ, as a consequence of
immigration, will impact the overall technological and economical qualification of a country in the future. It will
scale down the standard of culture, and it will become more naive. Today, the youth prefer rap music,
whereas they hardly listen to classical music anymore. Today’s average IQ in the U.S. is 98. In Mexico
it’s 87. Accordingly, a continued Mexican immigration will contribute to a lower average IQ. As a result, a
greater portion of the population will require unqualified jobs. Meanwhile, government policy tries to increase the
level of education and create a more qualified labour market. The consequence is that society will become more and
more economically segregated, which is bound to increase crime rates.
It’s necessary to comprehend what’s under way in our times, for us to take responsibility for future
generations. Current developments are bound to generate problems that in turn will cause sleep disturbance and
other symptoms in the population. Especially, psychotherapists should keep conscious of problems in our time
that generate unconscious symptoms in patients. Accordingly, psychological authors are today discussing notions of
ethnic psychology. Donald R. Atkinson focuses on counseling ethnic and racial minorities
and identifies characteristics unique to each group. Joseph Henderson has advanced the
notion of a “cultural unconscious”. Michael V. Adams discusses unconscious
racial and ethnic factors (collective attitudes and behaviors that are really ethnic factors).
Literature is growing because it is necessary to relate to reality, leaving behind the puerile worldview
building on airy-fairy ideology. It is a way of thinking that people have typically adopted in their youth; an
ideal world of all-encompassing motherly reliance, a place where human nature is inherently good. But such ideas
are really predicated on the mother complex. I have elsewhere argued that culture is very much determined by, and
highly dependent on, the constitutional collective character of its population. [15] I express my concern that the ongoing mix of ethnic groups in the West forebodes a cultural
regression in the motherly, matriarchal, direction.
The Arabic reversal
A striking historical example of a regress is what underwent in the Arab world. Arab civilization made great
advances in learning and culture up to a certain point in the Middle Ages. Suddenly it ran out of steam and lost
its vitality; an occurrence which allowed room for European expansion. Historians have been puzzled by this
reversal. Recently, genetic research has revealed that sub-Saharan Africans have contributed greatly to the genome
of today’s Arab population. [16] The Arabs imported
enormous numbers of African female slaves, a trade that ended only in the late 19th century. Contrary to America,
Arab countries imported predominantly women slaves. Estimates by historians suggest the extent of the Arab slave
trade to between 11 to 25 million black Africans, and from thousands to in excess of one million Europeans. [17] The female slaves were exploited sexually (Arab men viewed
the womb only as the vessel that their seed grew in). Yet, unlike in America, there are no direct descendants of
the slaves in the Arab world. This is because Arabs, as a whole, are descendants of African slaves. The African
genome was swallowed up by the Arab population.
The mixing of the two races that occurred rapidly during medieval times could, I suggest, explain the mysterious
cultural reversal that took place in the Arab world. The Arabic population had at a point in time inherited so much
of sub-Saharan African traits that it affected the vitality of a whole civilization. The genetic shift took place
very rapidly. A thousand years ago the Arabs had little or no African markers in their genome. In medieval times
the genome changed rapidly. Why should not such a rapid change have affected culture? I theorize that it has
clearly affected average IQ, which is around 83 in today’s Arab countries. [8]
We balk at notions of racial purity, especially in light of the overblown pseudo-scientific ideas of the thirties.
Nevertheless, it might be necessary to tackle this problem, while keeping it within the limits of the sane. We must
bring to light to what extent our advanced Western civilization depends on our inherited genetic makeup, and
whether African/Arabic immigration, primarily, may generate a devitalization on lines of the Arabic reversal. The
13th century Mongol invasion is part of the explanation for the decline in economics and culture (libraries were
burnt), but it cannot explain the change in collective psychology. After all, Europe has also suffered Mongol
invasions. Arabic culture lost all vitality and the Arabs became a backward people. It is a very surprising turn of
events. Normally, a high culture would keep up its resolve and be fixed on rebuilding itself. In a sense, an
invasion may strengthen a high culture, considering that individuals tend to become more determined and prepared to
make self-sacrifice for a larger purpose. The massive introduction of sub-Saharan African genes would have played a
greater role than the Mongol invasion. (Since I wrote this, I have discovered that Donald I. Templer
discusses these problems in Mankind Quarterly, 2010. [18])
Unconscious racism
People do not only worry about the future well-being of their sons and daughters. What is gnawing in their
unconscious is an anxiety about the ongoing undermining of culture, the future prospects of their country and
civilization. Such worries cause nervous problems, sleeplessness, and stomach upsets. It is a mad idea of our
times that people ought to cast off their sense of responsibility for, and feeling for, their own genetic kinship
and the cultural values of their country. It is the responsibility of intellectuals to develop an understanding of
human nature and to keep conscious of the shadowy side of existence. The unconscious always incorporates that which is
intolerable to present-day consciousness. It is the responsibility of psychoanalysts and debaters to understand why
white Americans create “gated communities” to hold the black population at bay. After all, what is the
probability that hordes of Blacks will leave the Chicago ghetto and invade the suburban communities? The gated
community seems like an idea fetched from the thirties, building on racial purity and the genetic superiority of
the propertied classes.
Instead of taking exaggerated measures resulting in severe segregation, inflated prejudice, and collective
paranoia, we must talk about the collective complex that generates anxiety. It is a well-known psychological
insight that conscious realization serves to resolve complexes. It allows consciousness to carry the problem
instead. One such problem is “race”. There is no way around it. White people should realize the
underlying reasons for their unconscious negative feelings toward Blacks. This is better than enclosing themselves
in Aryan gated communities while maintaining their hypocritical liberal-minded view that race doesn’t
exist.
“Race” continues to exist regardless of the fact that intellectuals have declared the concept obsolete.
It exists in people’s unconscious. White Americans often dream about Negroes, as psychologist C. G. Jung
has noted. (People dream about gods and angels, too, regardless of what Richard Dawkins says.) “Race” is
a very charged notion. Most animals have an instinctual fear of strangers of the same species. They chase strangers
away, and sometimes even kill them. Humans have this unconscious archetypal fear of strangers, too. That’s
why we have to deal with this topic, and remain conscious of the problem. We should not denounce people who raise
the issue, calling them “racists” and “bigots”. Seeing the diverse ethnicities and races as
they truly are means that they are saved from something much worse. At heart, all people want to be accepted as
they are. Black people, as a group, are not adequate to the demands of white civilization. Yet, they managed well in
the African Bantu culture, building an ecologically sustainable civilization. To both the teacher and pupils of a black
class, it would be a great relief if they weren’t expected to get the same results as a white class. A stone
would fall from their shoulders.
People in the modern world must learn to relate to controversial facts instead of sweeping them under the carpet.
Psychic repression is an antiquated means of relating to reality that is out of place in the modern world.
As a consequence, the unconscious becomes chock-full of putrid content, generating vulgar and neurotic
compensations. In a complex world we should be able to put a load on our conscious faculty and carry a bit of moral
pain. Modern people, generally speaking, should be capable of this due to a stronger ego consciousness. We are
better equipped to understand reality. It is high time to challenge this attitude of moral indolence. We
needn’t always repress every uncomfortable fact. We would better deal with the problems consciously,
which would avoid much suffering, regardless of race. It leads to a better acceptance of differences, and better
understanding of racial nature in public consciousness. When the trolls are dragged into the daylight they explode.
Complexes will turn into conscious problems that can be dealt with, vexatious as they are, whereas surreptitious
racism and psychological oppression would soon abate. Let’s swallow the bitter pill, and paranoia and
unfounded elitism will lose much of their momentum. A strengthening of consciousness means becoming vaccinated
against exaggerations.
Conclusion
It is becoming more and more evident that we are experiencing an awakening of racial consciousness. These findings
mustn’t be allowed to metamorphose into vulgar forms of racialism and nationalism, as in earlier history.
Only by allowing room to such facts in public consciousness, there to be interpreted correctly, can
misinterpretations of vulgar nature be avoided. We mustn’t allow racial insights to be the sole property of
people belonging to fringe political groups, who are bound to distort and exaggerate facts. This should be evident
to people that think in psychoanalytic terms, but is yet to be understood by the average journalist or
debater, who always thinks that repression of disagreeable facts is the great panacea for every problem in human
affairs. There are considerable differences between the races. “Racism”, from a psychological perspective,
is when you make expression of negative attitudes and behaviour towards people of another race.
So, you are not a racist if you think that the races are different. Nor are you a sexist if you think that men and
women are different.
