White Alarmists
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session on 10/12/2009
Walter Williams pointed out that “What people label a stereotype is usually just an unpleasant fact”
I black man can get away with that, just as Jesse Jackson was able to admit that he was relieved when the footsteps he hears behind him at night are made by WHITE man. That is stereotyping, that is blatant
It is also true.
I said below that Orientals have a stereotype of being relatively placid. As anybody who was in Nam will tell you, that is not a universal Oriental trait. But a couple of doctors, an Australian man and Chinese woman, did a study on this which involved a comparison of Oriental and “Caucasoid” newborns reaction to swaddling, and came to a statistically significant demonstration that, in fact, there is genetic truth to that stereotype.
Routinely, any such large statistically significant is repeated immediately to check it out. You have a guaranteed journal article if you do it quickly before everybody else does. This one was not repeated.
At all.
Nor was it disputed.
Gator, on the other hand, is a white alarmist. Teddy Roosevelt was an alarmist back when pollution outside factory gates was almost unknown. Oriental calm is not conducive to such alarmism.
Take a part-Oriental example. The Polynesians on Easter Island fished to provide their protein. Then there was apparently a competition to build those huge stone men. To win, the chiefs cut down every tree.
EVERY tree.
No more canoes. No more fish.
As the last trees were being cut down, maybe come alarmist said something. His chief, Moala-Maou, said, “Well, if he wants trees let Malana-Meii save them in HIS territory. Don’t be an alarmist, the important thing is to WIN.”
The trees were gone and the fish were gone, so the Easter Islanders ate up all the birds. ALL the birds. “Leave birds for breeding? You’re an alarmist. Screw that. I’m HUNGRY!”
Instead of whipping us over what we did to the environments, we might see it as amazing that there was a major program of environmentalism at the beginning of this century, when robber barons had a power they have not had before or since.
Westerners were astounded when they went to Asia and saw Buddhas, Shinto gods, and Confucian representations on family along with crucifixes. True, Classical society had something similar. But when the Persians invaded Greece they burnt the pagan temples for exactly the same reason Zoroaster’s inheritors, the Christians, did.
Judaism became monotheistic half a millennium after Zoroaster died.
This line of reasoning leads to a really strange conclusion. Westerners are alarmists and extremists. We insist on ONE truth.
And here is the strange conclusions: Isaac Newton, Galileo and the Church people who persecuted them came from the SAME source. Orientals can talk all day and not insist on any conclusion. But once Newton and Galileo got hold of the law of gravity or that Dutch invention the telescope, it had to apply to the whole universe.
But the Church could not allow these IMPLICATIONS in THEIR universe, any more than Westerners could understand Buddha up there with the crucifix. It was totally alien to them. It was totally alien to the Western Church. It was totally alien to Newton. It was totally alien to Galileo.
A good Oriental philosopher would tell me to calm down. He would tell environmentalists to calm down. The air in China is beginning to show they are very calm indeed over there.
Confucius will tell you all about table manners. But his kind would never push the law of gravity without restraint the way Newton did.
More than one good Oriental has told me to calm down about the fact that the best economic indicator we have is skin color, though a surprising number of them, as indicated in my last article, see it clearly.
There is something aggressive about a white society that makes jumps others cannot. If you look, you will see it disappears with mixing with browns.
I am a white alarmist. No matter what our established church threatens, I will keep on saying that the future of the world rests on saving whites.
