There are innate race differences in intelligence: a flyer
May 27th, 2011 by Unamused
I have previously noted that should you choose the path of compassionate reactionism and take this conversation off the Internet, it might help to have a few relevant fact sheets (like, say, “Black people are more criminal than white people”) written by someone else, on whom the liberal rage and malice and cries of racism can be dumped, i.e. me.
To that end, I have prepared a second flyer, entitled “There Are Innate Race Differences in Intelligence.” I had help from Chuck at Occidentalist, but any outrageous errors or unsubstantiated opinions are all mine. It is available as a PDF here and as a JPEG below (click for the full-size image). Links to my sources (or equivalent) appear below.
I encourage you to share this flyer with anyone, anywhere. I hope you find it useful. Let me know if you find any mistakes, or if you would prefer a version with minor modifications of your choosing, such as a less outrageous title.

Linda Gottfredson has plenty of papers on the general mental ability factor g. Schmidt and Hunter’s 2004 article “General Mental Ability in the World of Work: Occupational Attainment and Job Performance” is available for purchase here; Chuck sent me a copy (available on request).
The IQ gap (and the 80 percent heritability statistic for adults) are widely known; you can start with the American Renaissance guide. Find “Human Biological Variation” at your local library or college campus.

The paper “Genetic Structure, Self-Identified Race/Ethnicity, and Confounding in Case-Control Association Studies” in the American Journal of Human Genetics, available here, shows a 99.86 percent success rate matching self-reported race to genetic clusters. I wrote about the failure of studies claiming the gap is environmental without controlling for genes in my post “Income and IQ.”
Jared Taylor briefly discusses regression to the mean, in the context of Jensen’s research, in the September 1998 issue of American Renaissance.

“Congratulations. Please ask them to explain averages to you” is brilliant.
it always amazes me how people will avoid the simple explanation with mountains of evidence behind it that simultaneously predicts real world outcomes with amazing accuracy, and instead dream up elaborate, hidden, undetectable causes to the multitude of outcomes that have little if any supporting evidence.
well put together.
What I like about this blog is that not only is it funny and interesting, but it is damn helpful. I’m definitely going to print these little suckers out.
But how can one argue against such iron-clad rebuttals such as:
“Das Racisssss; You Racisss”
In the city of Miami Beach there is a large event over Memorial Day Weekend called Black Beach Weekend: http://www.blackbeachweek.com/urbanbeachweek1.html.
The city of Miami Beach (population: 90,000, the vast majority of whom are white — though 50% are white Spanish speakers and 10% or so Jews) is bombarded with 300,000 young black hip hop fans.

Wanna guess the outcome?

For the city to deal with this it spends 1,000,000$ on extra police and security. The city is locked down like god damn Baghdad. The city has to submit the security plan to 1) ACLU 2) NAACP and 3) Department of Justice.
Most residents flee. I am not exaggerating. They flee. These are nice liberal hipster SWPL liars who rant about the wonders of diversity — vote for Barry O. — and head for Key West as soon as the diversity shows up in large numbers.
The center can not hold. A society forced into mass dishonesty has no future.
flavia, you bitch, you beat me to it again.
Nice work. Would be even more awesome if you included links (if the studies you cited are available online).
Good point, Jeff. I’m adding links now.
Nice. I would give you a high five in real life if I could. Keep these pages flowing. This one was perfect. You are doing a great service, and it is too bad no one else thought to do this until now.
Hey, wait! I not only thought to do such a thing, but I actually did it. And then gave up on it, because it didn’t strike me as concise or informative, but rambling and overspecialized.
What Unamused has done that’s original is… to do this sort of thing well.
Three thumbs up to our host! I’ll print out one copy for each of my open-minded liberal friends.
Zero. :(
Negros are wonderful, I love them, stop saying bad things about them! Where would we be without them?
A few points higher in national IQ rankings?
Assuming you’re serious: better off in every way. Low crime, strong economy, and a return to White values.
I’m assuming Skeeter isn’t serious. I seriously tried to kill a skeeter today though. Little bastard just flew right past me.
It was probably laughing.
We need to put our heads together and try to find a new phrase for which to mock blacks. I think we will persevere.

…And basketball where someone passes the fucking ball.
Good job. I find your site amusing and informative. The flyers look great, but the biggest problem is getting folks to read them. If you hand someone a flyer with a title such as the one above, their mind shuts down before they can even get to the text. It’s like the indoctrination runs so deeply that just seeing a few words in a certain pattern battens down the hatches.
I have no idea how to get around this sort of conditioning.
Alternate versions available on request. What title would work better?
[…] Unamused – “Born to Hate: Celebrating Four Racist Months of Unamusement Park“, “Flyer: There Are Innate Racial Differences in Intelligence” […]
Sorry I misspelled “negroes,” and, no, I wasn’t serious:)
Maybe “negros” is short for “nee gross”, meaning “congenitally icky”.
I’m not sure what title would work better. Maybe something that doesn’t mention race? If you took out the word racial, would that work better? I don’t know, but so many lemmings seem to shrivel up into a fetal position as soon as they see the word race or any of its derivatives.
I don’t know what would work better. I still think most people would stop reading this before they got to the end. They simply cannot fathom the truth of it.
All I know is that the current state of things cannot go on much longer.
I’ve wonder the same thing, Dack Thrombosis, and I’ve given up looking. Herrnstein & Murray used the term “ethnic” instead of “racial” and it got them nowhere. They also included tons of references, which also got them nowhere, and specified that the “high-tech Indian reservation” was exactly the sort of society they wished to avoid, which got them accused of…
… trying to recraft society into a “high-tech Indian reservation.”
My idea is that the shocking title (shocking only because it openly discusses race) will compel people to read more, if only to verify that this terrible, evil flyer (a) doesn’t present any arguments, or if it does (b) they are laughably weak, and in any case (c) it’s just white supremacist propaganda with lots of N-words and ranting about Jews.
Needless to say, they’ll be disappointed.
The objective is to get them to think something like the following: “Huh. That’s not totally crazy. What if it were true? No, that can’t be right, because — wait, how do I know it isn’t right? …”
It’s very good and I plan on distributing some of those around town. Thanks for this great service!
I would just fix the language as follows:
“g predicts job performance better than any other ability” — should be “better than any other indicator” in my opinion.
@Dack Thrombosis,
Words like “group differences” or “population differences”. That is how population geneticists defuse controversy.
I’ll work up a version for you. My source, incidentally, reports that
Better wording, but I couldn’t fit all that in the flyer.
Another thing — and I realize you can’t make it much longer than it already is — but it would be nice if it mentioned that Asians have, on average, higher I.Q.’s than whites. This would provide some inoculation against accusations of “white supremacy.”
Also, I would recommend that anybody distributing these fliers carry pepper spray with them. I plan on doing so. Leftists are dangerous when their orthodoxies are challenged.
Here (PDF) is the jewamongyou edition of flyer 2.
Changes: (1) g now predicts job performance better than any other “indicator,” not “ability.” (2) East Asians and their 105 (or so) average IQ have been added to “The IQ Gap” (which is now specified as a “Black-White” IQ gap).
Update: those changes were incorporated into version 2, which has replaced version 1 and the jewamongyou edition
Please also mention how smart I am
I second Jew Among You’s suggestion; it was an oversight that I had missed. If you do a flyer bashing affirmative action, which I hope you will, you should also mention that, intentional or not, AA almost certainly hurts Asians more than it does dumb smelly crackers.
Err, white people.
It would be delightful if there were a pan-Eurasian movement against weak prisons, AA, and welfare. Not likely, but nice.
I will include Asians in my affirmative action flyer. I considered including them here, but I concentrated on Whites and Blacks for simplicity and contrast. I don’t really care if it sounds like “white supremacy” to some ignorant idiots. In any case, smart Asians don’t make Blacks look any better.
PS Olave is a smarty pants.
jewamongyou:
True, I’ve seen leftists try to dismiss this as purely a “cover”, but it clearly irritates them. Because suddenly it’s not just a case of tribal supremacy, it’s a case of describing how the world is.
A version with no title might work. But walls of text tend to get avoided. Quite honestly I have no real idea of what would work, but I have a few less than serious suggestions:
– This isn’t as bad as it sound.
– The world makes so much more sense now!
– Occam’s razor motherfucker. Do you know it?
– James Watson, a Nobel prize winner and the co-discoverer of DNA, couldn’t handle the fallout for speaking the truth. You can’t either so just recycle this.
– Why “neighbourhood with good schools” is just a codeword.
– Denying reality means reality automatically works against you.
– What we pretend not to see.
– Diversity is not skin deep.
– The great lie you always felt bad for not quite believing.
– What you can’t say.
– All the Nobel prize winners get picked on for saying this, why not you?
– Dis rassist shit be so rassist you rassist just for holding it, so you may as well read further to be prepared and say: “I don’t be rassist BUT…”
– Something that explains the annoying person in the room.
– Free fried chicken and watermelon, for further information read below.
– All men are created equal only in their rights not their abilities.
– Red pill.
– Different populations are different.
– Ethnic differences in intelligence.
– Differences in intelligence between groups.
But you can’t really use a title like that for a flyer like this, it might brighten up a random race realist’s day, but it will have less effect than the straight honest title, because of the negative framing nearly all of these takes evoke.
You have a point there. Too bad we can’t run randomized trials, with different titles.
Shame you can’t do some focus group trials. Maybe one with a title about ice people and sun people?
I’ve ordered a laser printer, and extra toner, so I can print out your flyers (and future ones). Once they arrive, I plan to start distributing them.
My father’s a white American. My mother was a black African. I grew up and went to school in west Africa, Europe and the US. I agree with not only the scientific results in IQ’s relation to race–I’ve lived this difference so I think it’s insulting to diminish this fact. One simply must go where the results point.
However, and here’s where I stumble: say your arguments are logically coherent, sound, and valid. What’s next?
I’ve read here some comments about the country being better without blacks (one with which I agree, by the way–again, following the facts where they simply must be followed.)
Is that the answer? Ship all the blacks back to Africa?
Call attention to the liberal idiocy and ensuing policies all you want (I despise liberals more than most of you), but unless and until one can propose a path forward, it’s all academic.
So I’d like to hear any comments.
As an aside, my great-grandfather was a laborer from Berkshire, England who moved here in 1879. Most black American families are older than many white American families, certainly mine, a fact exposed to me by Tom Sowell sometime back.
Welcome Fred.
The reason you stumble on “what’s next?” is that on the Internet, I spend 99 percent of my mental energy trying to explain to people what you already accept: that race differences in intelligence are real and favor Asians over whites over Hispanics over blacks, and they are mostly genetic (hence innate). There’s just no point talking about policy when we can’t even agree on the basic facts of the matter.
It is possible to believe that the country would be better off without blacks, without wanting to deport them. In any case, it is impossible. So instead of that, here are a few suggestions of mine, which I have expanded on in a few places and undoubtedly will again:
(1) Complete freedom of association. In particular, let whites be with their own kind. No forced diversity of any kind. As a result, whites will separate — white flight times a million, essentially. Huzzah!
(2) End all immigration. Or at least end all non-white immigration. Or at least have strict immigration laws to ensure whites remain a majority, and only the (morally) best and (mentally) brightest get into our country.
(3) Put criminals in prison. Hardly rocket science, but you’d be surprised how outrageous this idea seems to many people when you really follow through on it.
Part of all of the above is acknowledging race differences in behavior, including intelligence and criminality. It’s a necessary first step, and it informs (or “colors,” if you will) all further thinking.
Unamused hit several of my suggestions. To them I would add, all means-tested transfers to families should be abolished. That is Section 8, TANF, and Medicaid among others. All of these programs encourage excessively large families among people who can’t make it on their own. All groups would benefit in the long run from the abolition of these programs.
As a compromise, I would suggest a program whereby increasing family size after June 2011 would not increase benefits. Thus all the previously subsidized childbirth would continue to be subsidized but at least the population pressure would stop.
Combine that with freedom of association and decent law enforcement, and the productive sector of the population would stop having to constantly back down in conflicts with the underclass. In each little conflict, people with something to lose tend to run away, which has caused the abandonment of most of our coastal cities.
I’d also like to see more attention paid to artisanship in high schools. Allowing boys to develop hands-on skills would be more interesting to many than the pre-pre-law curriculum of most high schools. Furthermore, artisanship radicalizes youth much less than pre-pre-law, which is essentially a revision of history designed to make minorities feel better, which winds up making them hostile.
Indeed, it is — and should be — impossible to deport Americans, whatever their color. Note: Americans.
I agree, no forced diversity. I don’t know if I necessarily agree about your conclusion that whites will necessarily separate, but that’s neither here nor there. There are more things that bind humanity together than skin color.
I tend to agree: we went only the very best people arriving on our shores. I don’t know if that necessarily entails limiting non-White immigration (first because it’s impractical on many fronts). Besides, allowing a French man with all his “ideas” to immigrate simply because he’s white may be ten times worse.
I’ve just finished reading “Righteous Indignation” by Breitbart in which he details the injurious works of the Frankfort School. Now those kinds of people, white or not, shouldn’t be allowed to pollute the mental and moral landscape of this country.
Agree in regards to prison. Swift punishment is required of criminals.
There’s a lot more to be discussed here and perhaps getting stuck in the mire of pointing out what is surely the truism of racial differences will take up all the discussion time. The danger of that, as you well know, is never getting out of the swamp. Many racial opportunists (the entire so-called black “leadership” for starters) would love nothing more than that we remain inside this festering mess forever. It allows grossly incapable people like BO (as I like to call him) to be elected President.
Well thanks. Good luck.
People (well, a couple of ideologues) are now just claiming the data doesn’t support the existence of races. It’s funny seeing them get shot down.

The only “next,” as I see it, is to drop the whitey did it bit. Blacks are going to stay; more Africans are going to come; people are going to mix; affirmative action will largely go untouched (it’s global anyways). It will all be rather anti-climatic.
I think it would be possible run a sort of randomized trial. It wouldn’t be technically perfect, but it would probably give a good general idea.
Have different people agree to take copies with different titles to a variety of college campuses and just leave a stack of them in a pile in a main hub of a student center/dining hall. Then walk away and sit down in some inconspicuous chair and watch the fun unfold.
For best results, it would probably make the most sense to stick to state school system colleges, which are probably the most likely to have similar types of populations. (Entirely speculation)
If anyone else is in, I’ll do it.
Just give me the titles, and I’ll upload the flyers.
In the meantime, I’ll be slipping them into library books on related subjects.
Re: juniecat,
The problem with leaving a pile of them somewhere is that it will take only a few minutes for somebody to come along and grab the whole pile — to be disposed of later and without anybody reading them.
I think the most effective means of distribution would be to either hand them out on a street, put them in people’s mailboxes or post them in public places on walls, electric posts — anywhere it is permissible to do so.
But, in the end, each of us will try his own method and we’ll find out what works the best.
“But, in the end, each of us will try his own method and we’ll find out what works the best.”
Where I live, any method that reveals my identity would get me killed or at least severely beaten.
“I think the most effective means of distribution would be to either hand them out on a street, put them in people’s mailboxes or post them in public places on walls, electric posts — anywhere it is permissible to do so.”
Don’t do this. It’s a federal offense and I’m sure the federal government would be thrilled to prosecute you for it given what it is you’re distributing.

Dr. Philippe Rushton has revised the IQ of the American black downward to 78. So the IQ of American black should read as 78, not 85.
No matter how superior the whiteman is, he is a genetic aberration on this planet. Eventually, he will be bred out of existence. Not in our lifetimes but in a few hundred years, a thousand at most. And once the population of whiteman declines so will all his culture. Interbreeding with black haired brown eyes will wash out white characteristics. The next generation will always be brown. If whites interbreed, genetic diseases will follow like cystic fibrosis. The white man is a genetic anomaly on planet earth, a mutation that will be reabsorbed into the normal gene pool, ie. black haired brown eyes pigmented skin. Seven billion people on this planet, white man makes up a small percentage of the population. That’s the facts. Study my teachings
[Unamused: If the “normal gene pool” consists of “black haired brown eyes pigmented skin,” where are all these Chinese people coming from? Anyway, I approved this comment only because I prefer to believe you’re lamenting the decline of white people and offering a solution: don’t interbreed!]
Chinese people don’t have black hair, brown eyes and pigmented skin?
Eh, I assume he meant dark skin.
Also, a recessive allele for blue eyes (for example) is still in the gene pool, even if it isn’t expressed in an individual, so blue eyes will keep showing up, generation after generation, whenever one such allele meets another. Blue eyes won’t be “absorbed” or “washed out.”
Plus, I don’t care. Friggin’ defeatism.
White people are no more doomed than foxhounds. Naturally, all dog breeds will be bred out of existence by mongrels, coydogs, red wolves, etc. Since dog breeding is controlled by humans (i.e., it’s artificial, not natural selection), this hasn’t happened.
Coincidentally, humans also control human breeding.
(Yes, I’m echoing Unamused’s rejoinder, but I did it in a wordier, more time-consuming sort of way, which has to be worth something.) Happy Thanksgiving!
A black man with blue eyes is not considered white. So having the white characteristics show up once in awhile in brown people is meaningless. White genes are essentially removed from the population with interbreeding. Two brown people with recessive white genes will never produce a pure white offspring. Even an albino black is not considered white.
As the world’s population grows towards 8 billion, the white percentage will seriously decline. Whites mating with each other will only delay the inevitable.
Also segration is not wise for whites. A pure white land without coloreds is essentially self-ghettoizing. How easy to wipe out vast populations of whites with a bomb or biological weapons. Hiding among coloreds is safer than huddled together in one mass group surrounded on all sides by the enemy.
Tattoos on whites is a disgrace. It shows comtempt for the pure white skin by injecting color pigments (Black Ink!) to obscure the white. Some whites are so covered by ink to look black. That goes for getting a tan. The subconscious message is that dark skin is better and healthier than white skin. Disgraceful.
White culture is seriously on the decline, it lacks permanance and cohesiveness to bind all whites together. Do white kids read the Bible anymore? They are too busy on Facebook and Twitter with inane messaging and all the while letting their heritage go down the toilet. Even the different interpretations of the Bible by whites lead to the decay and fractering. All the holiday celebrations are now so shallow and commercialized I see no future for our people.
Halloween, I won’t let my kids go begging for food from coloreds. My kids are taught not to depend on coloreds for anything. Or they think its okay to be subordinate to them. Likewise, I have never worked for a colored. I will never let a colored get the satisfaction of controlling my life by giving me a paycheck or deciding my fate. That would be reverse slavery.
On the “what’s next” question – would it be too crazy for me to imagine a future where we carve off a portion of the USA, and give it to the black population and allow them to have their own country? Obviously at present, given current population distributions it would be a practical/logistical nightmare of displacement of entire communities, so it’s really not a reality at the moment… but I’m imagining a future where, after generations of voluntary self-segration, say 75% of the black population becomes concentrated in the southeast USA… wouldn’t it then not sound so crazy? It sure as hell wouldn’t be the first time in history a multi-ethnic/religious nation broke up along racial/religious/ethnic lines (and certainly wouldn’t be the last time either).
Some extreme right-wing whites might not like the idea (and a lot of people in general who don’t like such radical change), but given the history that blacks have been through over here, they certainly deserve their share of the land.
I also like the idea of it from a curiosity standpoint, to see how the new country would play out.
Minor correction:
According to Jensen’s “The g factor,” average black g is 1.3 SDs (not 1.1 SDs) lower than white g; since g only explains about 30% of the variance in IQ tests, they underpredict this difference.
@CG
Send them to Detroit. They are already 82% black. I highly recommend watching Stefan Molyneux’s The Truth About Detroit’s Bankruptcy on Youtube. I imagine this faux utopia solution some of you speak of would herald a similar outcome.

I am white. I don’t believe that blacks are less intelligent, and I don’t believe that Asians are more intelligent. Whites had more $ for education, right? Asians get a free education here in the USA and are smart enough to take advantage of it. IQ means nothing. I would love to see a book smart person enter the ghetto…and be surrounded by blacks and Latinos…I’m sure the brain size of an Asian person would shrivel upon just parking their car. Duh!
