Why Race Matters

| Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| Did you realize that American society promotes racial hatred? | |
| That's right, racial hatred. | |
| That may not be the intent, but it sure is the result. | |
| And it's done by covering up the truth, the truth about race. | |
| Let me explain. | |
| You may have heard of a book by Nicholas Wade called A Troublesome Inheritance. | |
| It's only the latest in a long line of first-rate books that leave no doubt that there are substantial biological differences between the races. | |
| Scientists who study intelligence are in virtually unanimous agreement. | |
| On average, East Asians are a little smarter than whites, and whites are a good deal smarter than blacks. | |
| I go into the evidence, and there is plenty of it, in a different video in this series called"Race Differences in Intelligence." Or, just ask anyone who spends a lot of time with people of different races, say a school teacher, | |
| or a policeman, or even someone who works at McDonald's. | |
| They'll set you straight. | |
| I can't prove it. | |
| But I bet deep down even congressmen and federal judges understand race. | |
| I have it on good authority that Richard Nixon was completely convinced by Arthur Jensen's race and IQ studies, but he thought this was something we should never talk about. | |
| And that, as we will see, is a big, big problem. | |
| So why don't people talk about race and IQ? | |
| Because if you do, a lot of people will yell at you, and most folks are cowards. | |
| But, and this is important, people always have clever ways of justifying their cowardice. | |
| Some of them think they're being nice to blacks by keeping mum about IQ. | |
| They think that if you tell blacks the truth, they will erupt in fury, maybe burn the place down, or be plunged into self-destructive depression. | |
| That's just silly. | |
| For most of American history, virtually everyone took it for granted that the average black was not as smart as the average white. | |
| Did this mean that blacks in the 1880s or the 1920s were crazed murderers or were paralyzed with self-loathing? | |
| No. Blacks had lower crime rates and far lower rates of illegitimacy than they do now. | |
| In fact, Crime and illegitimacy really took off in the 1960s, just as the taboos about talking about race and IQ were beginning to harden. | |
| In my experience, and I have more than you'd think, most blacks are pleased when you are completely honest with them about race. | |
| I admit, that wasn't what I expected at first either. | |
| I remember, though, the first time I gave a public lecture about race and IQ. | |
| It was at Temple University Law School, and it was in the late 1980s. | |
| Before I started my talk, I looked out over that audience, and I was dismayed to see that about a third of the people were black. | |
| How am I going to bring myself to say these awful things? | |
| I thought to myself. | |
| It seemed so cruel. | |
| But I braced myself. | |
| And I gave my talk. | |
| Sure enough, there were a few blacks who stormed out in a rage. | |
| But the ones who stayed asked questions for more than an hour. | |
| They were fascinated by what I had to say about race and IQ, and they weren't insulted at all. | |
| Several came up to me afterwards, shook my hand with genuine warmth, and told me how much they had appreciated my talk. | |
| At first, I was baffled by that. | |
| But after I had the same experience at several different colleges, I began to understand. | |
| These college students were thrilled to have a genuinely honest conversation about race with a white man. | |
| And I know a lot about the subject. | |
| Blacks are as curious about it as anyone else and are happy to hear someone talk sense rather than repeat the usual excuses and mumbo-jumbo. | |
| They don't like being patronized. | |
| I have a friend, Gedalia Braun, who is American but has lived in Africa for many years. | |
| He has made a hobby of asking black people whether they don't think whites are just plain smarter than they are. | |
| He says that in Africa, and often in the U.S. as well, the answer is, of course, obviously whites are smarter. | |
| He says the only exceptions are race hustlers. | |
| I don't think most blacks would be afraid of the truth. | |
| It's white people who are terrified of upsetting blacks who have made this into a huge taboo. | |

Blacks Hate Us

|
| And ask most whites whether they think Asians are smarter than whites, at least in science and math. | |
| Most will tell you it sure looks that way. | |
| On college campuses with lots of Asians, white students who take technical courses go to the first class and they count the Asians. | |
| If there are too many, they figure the competition for grades is going to be too stiff, and they take a different course. | |
| And does the fact that Asians are smart plunge whites into despair? | |
| Do they go out and riot or rob people or take drugs or get three women pregnant? | |
| No, they get on with their lives. | |
| And that is what most blacks would do if the truth about race and IQ were widely accepted. | |
| And this is where the hatred comes in. | |
| What would you do if you wanted to teach blacks to hate white people? | |
| You'd tell them this. | |
| You'd say, of course you're just as smart and hardworking as white people. | |
| And the only reason you're not on top of the world is because of racism. | |
| The police hate you. | |
| Your teachers despise you. | |
| The government wants to keep you down. | |
| The media spread lies about you. | |
| White people are just seething with racism. | |
| The other thing you would do to make black people hate white people is never shut up about slavery, lynching and Jim Crow. | |
| Make sure those are the main things every American child knows about American history. | |
| And that, of course, is exactly what we do. | |
| Is it any wonder so many blacks hate us? | |
| It's a wonder that more don't hate us. | |
| Since white people are so vicious, aren't the ones in these videos getting exactly what they deserve? | |
| Isn't this justified retribution for all that racism we're always hearing about? | |
| Isn't this the legitimate rage of people oppressed beyond endurance? | |
| These criminals just happen to be caught on surveillance video. | |
| Crime victim surveys by the Justice Department show that the average black is 40 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than the other way around. | |
| How much of that is caused by telling blacks that all their troubles are caused by wicked white people? | |
| And how much black shiftlessness is caused by the same thing? | |
| Don't we give blacks the perfect excuse when we tell them that no matter what they do, racist white people are just going to drag them down anyway? | |
| Why bother to make an effort when the system is rigged against you? | |
| Why not just wait for handouts and Obama phones? | |
| Black people are not, on average, as capable as whites. | |
| But whether they get ahead or go to jail is almost entirely up to them. | |
| Telling them they have abilities they don't have, but that white people are going to squash them anyway, just makes them hate us. | |
| It's about time we started telling the truth. | |
| But don't expect that from our current crop of rulers. | |
| You can count on them to keep telling blacks how bad white people are, and then to be completely bewildered when blacks hate them rather than love them. | |
