The single most relevant fact for understanding America right now is the one you are least supposed to mention: Blacks are vastly more homicidal than any other racial or ethnic group.
Nobody seems to know this when thinking about the reality behind our ongoing Largely Peaceful Riots, although, oddly, the same folks seem to know it when thinking about where to buy real estate or listening to rap.
While it may seem as if America’s Establishment has suddenly gone insane, elites are just following out the inevitable logic of dogmas mandated decades ago.
(Snip) the rationale of mainstream left-of-centrism eventually leads to some extraordinarily radical and impractical conclusions.

Something Sailer points out re statistics on homicides is that Hispanics are usually lumped in with Whites. Change that and the data to support his contention becomes even stronger.

Powerful stuff:
For example, in the latter decades of the 20th century it became increasingly verboten to publicly acknowledge the lower average intelligence and higher average homicide rate of African-Americans.
This was not because the scientists who painstakingly documented these massively important facts about American society were proven wrong. Instead, they won the extensive arguments in the academic literature.
No, it was precisely because the evidence for the validity of these behavioral disparities was so overwhelming that it was driven out of public discussion. It was felt that mentioning the social science would be bad for the self-esteem of blacks. (By the way, another little-known social-science finding is that blacks don’t actually have a deficiency of self-esteem. Of course, you might have already surmised that from listening to hip-hop…just as you might also have guessed from the same musical genre that they do have a problem with shooting each other too much.)

Good old Orwellian doublethink.

Oh the pearl clutching going on in the finer salons must be a sight to behold.
This is how this will play out. If the article gets any notice at all, Sailer will be labled a racist. People will demand that he get fired. And at no point will his actual premise ever be contradicted, let alone addressed.

"Comprising only about 13 percent of the U.S. population, African-Americans accounted for 52.5 percent of homicide offenders."
But take out the females, the children, the elderly,
About 3-4% of the US population, black males (13-30)
"accounted for 52.5 percent of homicide offenders."
That should stop just about anyone dead in their tracks....

If you eliminate the crimes caused by minorities in the USA, we would be a very low crime society. We could get rid of 2/3 of our police, and 2/3 of our prisons. But "white folks are bad".......the inversion of the facts.

About 25 years ago, my wife worked with a woman whose husband was a reporter and editor for the local newspaper. He was an old-style reporter: who, what, when, where, why, and "if your mother says she loves you, check it out." Like most reporters, he was a liberal - he voted for Mike Dukakis in '88, and would have voted for Paul Tsongas if he'd been nominated. We had them over for dinner one night and were discussing current events; eventually, the subject turned to black Americans. The reporter said something I'll never forget: "I've been a reporter for twenty years, and I gotta say - there's an undercurrent of violence in that culture that can't be explained any other way except by genetics."
Everybody knows it, but no one will say it.

I do not think this essay is excellent. The author is racist in that he is making his points based on today's American blacks (of course, those in Africa may fit his description too, but there are reasons for that also). What all those sociologists never took into account is how the black community was basically set up to fail after LBJ's policies destroyed a huge portion of the black community after they finally were given equality. His War on Poverty and Great Society were designed to keep poor blacks down and destroy their once strong nuclear family units. Before those policies, blacks had higher marriage rates and lower divorce rates than whites. But LBJ took advantage of high unemployment among blacks and forced the man out of the home. The Left and Democrats have played on it and built upon the destructive policies ever since to keep blacks dependent on the party and government in general. Broken homes and perpetual poverty mixed with drugs and gang activity with little opportunity has created a greater homicidal group. The whole rap and hip-hop movement was pushed and promoted by white "liberal" businessmen adding to the negative influence. If blacks had come up without all the social engineering by the racist Democrats, we would have seen a much different picture today. Race is not a real thing. It isn't a true genetic indicator. It is a social construct created by sociologists and anthropologists to study humans based on family traits, culture and language. Physical differences are irrelevant as they developed for reasons of survival in various climates.
That said, the author can claim blacks are more homicidal, but it isn't because of their physical characteristics nor are their brains different. It is generally because they have been used and have allowed themselves to be used by manipulative people claiming to be on their side for generations.

#9, I do not blame it on race. Race is just an external marker which shows that the person was more likely than not raised in a violent inner city subculture which considers laws unimportant, and turns on the physical violence for any minor slight, real or imagined. That is a destructive culture, and it rejects education, rejects efforts to succeed as "acting white", as if "acting black" requires failure and violence.
Many middle class blacks, and all the ones I worked with and have had as friends, are outside of this culture, but it seems that the majority not only live it, they love it and do not seek to change.

It was not blacks who advocated for and implemented policies based upon insanity, it was liberal whites. Intact families pass along what we call "middle class values"...self discipline, delayed gratification, hard work. Children from what we used to call 'broken families' absorbed values from the world outside the home. This is true regardless of color. Unfortunately, the nonsense generated by liberal whites focused on blacks like a fire hose.
Liberal whites are responsible for the poisonous atmosphere. Of course, two decades of grievance studies takes over where white libs left off.

An excellent essay. Best I’ve read today. Sailer is not afraid to call them as he sees them and he says he’s been talking about this for 30 years. You can’t be a little bit liberal - just a little left of center - for long… And Sailer includes statistics to back up his claim about black homicides.
