Bullshit Debunked, No. 79: Race Is a Social Construct

The Maverick Philosopher, Bill Vallicella, quotes a correspondent on the claim that "Race is a social construct":
What do they even mean? ... What could it mean to say that race is a "social construct"? Do they mean that there are no biological or ancestral differences at all between Whites and Blacks and Orientals? That's just ridiculous -- like saying there are no biological differences between human beings and gorillas.

I think in most cases they don't mean anything much. They haven't thought about it. It's a smart-sounding phrase they picked up from PBS or from some half-wit university lecturer. It's the kind of thing the bien pensant people say. So they say it too. And they know that, whatever it really means, it must be true and morally right to say it. They know that only Nazis disagree. I've talked to some educated intelligent Leftists who say stuff like this. They usually just retreat to Lewontin's fallacy—more differences within races than between, and all of that. Again, it seems they just don't want to think about it and they use these dumb phrases as a way to avoid thinking. The dumb phrases change once in a while. I guess in earlier decades we'd hear more about how "There is only one race, the human race". But it may be a mistake to expect any clear or coherent meaning behind these propaganda phrases.

Liberal Humbug On Human Racial Differentiation

Previously, I explained the liberal position on the question of race, thus:
First nation Canadian. Image source 
Liberals and other agents of the New World Order, like hard-line Communists, are revolutionaries who seek to establish a system of global governance. The difference between the two is that the globalization aimed at by liberals will subordinate all humanity to the moneyed elite, the bankers, the billionaires and the chiefs of the giant corporations, whereas Communist revolution aims to serve the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, which is to say the Nomenclatura* for whom tyranny means thousands of comfy bureaucratic jobs with lots of power and privilege.

To both classes of revolutionary, the great obstacle to their dream is the nation state that declares the right of the people in any geographic area with the means to defend themselves to rule themselves as they see fit, which means maintaining control of the borders to prevent occupation of the territory by invaders or an uncontrolled flow of immigrants, and the preservation of the religious and cultural tradition of the people.


To the revolutionaries, there is a simple solution to the problem of the nation state and the desire of the vast majority of the people of the world to live among their own kind in accordance with their traditional manners, morals and forms of governance. It is to insist that there is no such thing as the nation, that all humanity is one race, and that it is simply bunk to claim that the English, say, have a privileged status in England,
Chinese. Image source
or that the Amerindians of Canada have legal and moral rights to control over their traditional lands and the freedom to live on those lands according to their own beliefs and traditions.
Since the racial differentiation of humanity is obvious for all to see, and its denial is as idiotic as the denial of the naked emperor's nakedness by the sycophantic courtiers, the issue of race is a cause of embarrassment to every liberal. This is evident over at the Unz Review where the Saker tells us:
I don’t even believe that the concept of “race” has been properly defined and, hence, that it has any objective meaning. I therefore don’t differentiate between human beings on the basis of an undefined criterion.

Suuuure. And the Saker cannot tell the difference between a Chinese and a Australian aboriginal, or between an Eskimo and a Sephardic Jew, or between a San bushman and a pigmy.

But then Steve Sailer, who also appears over at the Unz Review, opened a recent post thus:
One of the weirder contradictions of contemporary dogma is the belief that race does not exist combined with the government’s obsession with counting everybody by self-identified race. If race doesn’t exist, you’d think that, say, the Obama Administration would be under a lot of pressure from its supporters to dump the racial/ethnic classification system. Strangely enough, it never seems to occur to all the True Believers to ask their friends running the federal government to change the system.

The reason for the weirdness Sailer does not explicitly address, although his article provides conclusive government-supplied genetic evidence, if that were needed, to confirm the reality of human racial diversity.

What is obvious, however, is that the US Government uses information on the racial composition of the population in ways that serve to destroy the dominant position of the European population of America. This it does by means of affirmative action, forced integration, political correctness, Roe versus Wade, immigration law enforcement, or rather non-enforcement, criminalization of acts of conscence in accordance with Christian belief, white shaming, black history, and other measures to disadvantage certain races, particularly the Europeans, relative to others. 

Thus, we have the answer to the conundrum Sailer raised. The US and its European subordinate states need information on the racial diversity of their populations in order to destroy it. The goal is full racial mongrelization. Or as former French President and future Presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy has already instructed the fast dying European population of France. "Métissage: it is an obligation,"

So that's why liberals continue to deny the reality of race, for otherwise, as I stated in an apparently censored comment on Sailer's Unz Review post:
... mass immigration of philoprogenitive non-Europeans to European countries with indigenous populations with a far-below replacement fertility would have to be acknowledged for what it is: genocide.

And there is nothing surprising about liberals denying the reality of race while decrying those who oppose the genocide of the European peoples as racist, since nonsensical hate speech is the basic coin of liberal debate.

Europeans who oppose the destruction of their own race and culture need to realize that today’s liberal is either a self-hating European or a settler immigrant. In either case, they are, morally, the Nazis of the present era.

* The Nomenclatura of the Soviet Union was a class of bureaucrats that could be hired or fired only at the will of Communist Party. Positions held by members of the Nomenclatura were thus political appointments requiring not competence or integrity, but only grovelling subservience to the political elite. The Nomenclatura is thus an appropriate label for the top tier of Western bureaucrats such as university presidents (e.g., Michael Arthur, Provost of University College London), school principals, healthcare system managers, etc.

Why I Have Only Contempt For the Late George Carlin

Carlin's humor seems to have consisted largely in saying "fuck," "shit," and "dick" over and over, while emulating masturbation, and anal penetration, and telling his mainly American audiences how "so fucking dumb" ordinary Americans really are. This is not, for me, the highest form of wit.

In addition, Carlin was for the Couverdon-Kalergi plan for the elimination of the European people as a distinct race of mankind. True, both Carlin and Coverdon-Kalergi did not discriminate agaist white people. Apparently, they wished to destroy all the races of mankind, this to be achieved through mass migration and enforced multiculturalism. Thus, in the"Best of George Carlin" video that I linked to above, there is one frame showing a list of the supposed human races: white, black, brown, yellow, all of which have been struck out and a check marked placed by the words "human race." This is standard globalist propaganda for racial homogenization, based on two fundamental misconceptions or rather deliberate misrepresentations. First,the implication that racial differences are merely a matter skin color, whereas in reality,  skin color is not an essential, or even a greatly important, aspect of human racial differentiation. There are albino Africans, who are nevertheless Africans not Europeans. And there are many people of approximately the same shade of brown who belong to very different racial groups including Dravidians, Amerindians, Australian aboriginals, and deeply suntanned Europeans. Race is determined by differences in many genes and its biological significance has been barely probed. Second, race is not a correct alternative term for species. Mankind is a species not a race, whereas the races of mankind are genetically distinct variants of the human species, which have been created over thousands of years of more or less isolated development through processes of selection, genetic drift and random mutation. The existing vast range of variation in human form, physiology and physiognomy will be irreversibly destroyed within a couple of generations of universal multiracial breeding.

The extinction of my own people as a distinct race and the extraordinary civilization that its sons — people such as Shakespeare, Newton, Francis Bacon, Adam Smith, David Hume, Darwin, James Clerk Maxwell — created, is something to which I am totally opposed. Moreover, I wish other folks — the Chinese, the tribes of Africa, the Jews, the Arabs and many, many others — a long, prosperous, and unique future too.

Inevitably, in the modern, highly connected world, the races of mankind will tend to mix and merge. Insofar as such mixing is the result of individuals acting of their own free will in accordance with law (immigration law, for example), I don't oppose it, and further, I have no hesitation in acknowledging that the progeny of mixed matings may be among the finest people around. The former British settler states, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand have all, apparently, without great public opposition, adopted the path of multiracial immigration and a pseudo multiculturalism that, in fact, requires all-comers to adopt a politically correct liberal ideology, which accommodates religion only in a depleted and essentially meaningless form. Moreover, in the settler states, there is not only a process of mixing racial groups, but of replacing, albeit over several generations, the existing dominant, European groups with people from elsewhere. The process of replacement is inevitable so long as the fertility of the European populations remains below the replacement rate. In fact, replacement by people from elsewhere is the fate not only of the Europeans, but of all immigrant groups to the settler states and to Europe, since fertility of the native-born is aggressively reduced by programs of indoctrination in school (i.e., the encouragement of masturbation, oral sex, homosexual experimentation, instruction in the use of condoms, etc., all in the name of sex "education"), mass slaughter of the unborn, and girls' education which encourages women, particularly intelligent women, to place careers ahead of motherhood.

If to be succeeded by people from elsewhere is indeed what most Americans, Canadians, etc. want, it's fine with me. But, as all opinion surveys indicate, to be deprived of their own posterity in not what the great majority of Europeans want. But that it is what Europeans are getting. Europeans of Christian tradition have a fertility rate far below the replacement rate and are being displaced by Africans and Asians, the majority of whom are of Islamic or other non-Christian tradition, in a process driven by traitorous leaders subservient to the US empire.

The death of the European peoples as distinct cultural and racial entities may be at hand, but at least let those of us who oppose this genocide not applaud George Carlin, the dead scumbag advocate for the destruction of human cultural and biological diversity.
