Compare this alongside Stick’s Princeton thread.

There is a scientific principle called "Occam's razor." It says that the simplest explanation for something is usually the correct one. Applying Occam's razor to race in America: Most blacks are simply dumber than most whites or Asians.

He very well could be right; there's at least as much reason to believe he is as there is to believe he's not.

That was one of the best posts ever on the Fire,thanks for that one.i will send it far and wide.

Fred Reed pulls no punches. Long time reader here.

A good piece but it assumes that the people are all of the same mind and won’t resist. I doubt that is correct.

They won’t resist until it comes right up to their front door step.

I’ve done the same.

Article was spot on.

Another great Reed from Fred.

The very best thing that this country could have done was to have sent the former Negro slaves back to Africa. They have never assimilated themselves into our society, nor will they ever.................because they are as different from the White race as black is from white, no pun intended, of course.

I agree with U.S. Grant. In his memoir, he did not advocate for universal enfranchisement, but rather a studied effort over several generations to bring the ignorant ex-slave up to the level of enligtenment necessary for self-government. After reading his memoir and knowing his accomplishments, I value his judgement of men as I would his judge of horses. He was able to look a man or a horse and tell how best they best suited his goals. He knew how winnow the grain from the chaff of his army and put the best men around him and how best to direct them to victory. His assessment of ex-slaves was not good as they were at the end of the war, but he had high expectations for their future.

Instead of this vision, we spent several generations deliberatly keeping the children of slaves ignorant and then turned around and tried to lower our admissions standards, our hiring standards and our overall expectations. This, what Rush calls the tyranny of low expectations, is probably the most injurious of all.

I have spent my life in what was a border city between South and North. Cincinnati was harsh to German American immigrants, but it was an even harder for black folks. In a lot of ways, we suffered together for a time. What abuse was heaped on the "Dumb Dutch" was given in double or treble to African Americans.
I learned early on to never judge skin color being a indicator of intelligence, but I have seen a lot of unnecessary ignorance. These people are my co-workers, my fellow citizens, and my extended family. I despise that they are being made pawns of Socialist radicals, although I have to admit that there was a time when poor Germans were made the same catspaw in this town. Again, I fault the tyranny of low expectations as the root cause.

Just copy the article, title it and give credit to the author and it will work..
