Kevin MacDonald is Still Confused
In reading Kevin MacDonald’s response to my last blog post about ethnic altruism, I realized that whole debate between us is probably due to MacDonald’s misunderstanding of the thesis of my article “The Ethnic Nepotism Fallacy.” MacDonald seems to think that my sole object of criticism in that article was genetic similarity theory (GST). However, it was not. What I mean by an ethnic nepotism theory is any theory that supposes that people evolved to direct altruism at co-ethnics because of relatedness. The question of which psychological mechanisms are responsible for this altruism is irrelevant. Thus, my critique applies to MacDonald’s theory of ethnicity if he believes that people instinctually direct altruism at co-ethnics through what he calls “social identity mechanisms” like ethnocentrism and collectivism.

Kevin MacDonald is Confused About Ethnic Altruism
In a post on The Occidental Observer Blog, Kevin MacDonald claims that I misinterpreted his theory of ethnicity in my article “The Ethnic Nepotism Fallacy.” I attributed to ethnic nepotism theory partisans, including MacDonald, the belief that relatedness within ethnies creates altruism among co-ethnics, or “ethnic altruism.” MacDonald responds that he rejected the idea of ethnic altruism in “An Integrated Evolutionary Perspective on Ethnicity” (“Evolutionary Perspective”). Rather, he thinks co-ethnic relations are characterized by reciprocity, rather than the unreciprocated altruism that one finds among kin. More • 17 comments

Duncan Hengest on the Fort Hood Massacre
Having served as a military officer and written about race in the army, I’ve decided to add my two cents to the discussion on the massacre at Fort Hood in which a Muslim, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, killed 13 people. The incident brings home the point I made in “Diversity in the Army,” published in American Renaissance: “America now fights its wars in the Third World, and our policy of putting Third World people in the military is dangerous.” I explicitly warned against the possibility that a Third World soldier, who sided with America’s enemies due to his ethnic origins, would commit a deadly act against his fellows in arms. As far as I know, no high-ranking officer has read the article and certainly none has acted on its suggestions. Had anyone done so, perhaps the massacre would have been prevented. More • 3 comments
Jason Richwine on IQ, Immigration, and Social Capital
A new scholar who is doing interesting work is Jason Richwine, a recent PhD graduate from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard and a research fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. As the AEI website informs us, Richwine’s area of specialization is the link between intelligence and public policy issues, including immigration. Richwine began publishing articles in current affairs magazines and websites this year. Although he never adopts an explicitly pro-white perspective, all of his articles have brought attention to topics that are crucial to this website: racial differences in intelligence, the failure of Hispanics to integrate into American society, and the relationship of intelligence to social and economic success.

Protest YouTube Censorship
Last Friday, YouTube disabled my video, “Islam: Religion of Injustice,” on the grounds that it violated their hate speech policy. (You can watch the video here.) By acting on today’s activism campaign, you will send a message to YouTube that legitimate criticism and hate speech are different things. Besides acting on this campaign, people with YouTube accounts can also upload the video to their accounts in order to protest YouTube’s decision. You can download the video right-clicking on this link and clicking “Save Link As…”. Of course, if you do this, YouTube might impose limitations on your account or even delete it. 0 comments
YouTube Censors My Islam Video
YouTube informed me today that they have disabled my video “Islam: Religion of Injustice” because it violates their community guidelines: “We encourage free speech and defend everyone’s right to express unpopular points of view. But we don’t permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity).” Of course, my video was more of an example of hate facts than hate speech—see the transcript of the text of the video here. YouTube’s action certainly merits an activism campaign, and I’ll put one up soon. For now, I’ve put the Islam video on my Facebook account, but I’ll eventually want to find a better home for it. If you have any thoughts about what the best alternative to YouTube is, please leave a comment on this entry. 10 comments
