A new book has hit the bestseller list and is being promoted in every liberal nook and cranny imaginable. If one did a search on this book, and read the reviews, you would come away thinking that it was remarkable, insightful, and of intellectual merit. When I actually read it, however, it was incredible rubbish; not because I disagree with the conclusions, but because the author, Nell Irvin Painter, is simply an unintelligent Black woman. But the Left unashamedly promotes her book as if it had even a scintilla of redeeming value.

I saw Ms. Painter being interviewed by Stephen Colbert, where he mercilessly made fun of her while maintaining his liberal comedic bias—it was quite entertaining. But Painter, author of The History of White People, has been interviewed and reviewed by the more serious side of the anti-White establishment. Acclaimed for spending ten years researching and writing the book, she makes a mockery of Black scholarship—if that is not an oxymoron. In fact one only has to read the very beginning of the book and the very end, to realize that she contradicts herself repeatedly. The book makes no sense. It also struck me that she probably had read Noel Ignatiev’s How the Irish Became White and followed the same line of argument with slightly different material. The book was published in 2010, but it is apparent that she finished the book in 2005, just ten years after publication of Ignatiev’s anti-White screed.

In the Introduction she states, “Today, however, biologists and geneticists (not to mention literary critics) no longer believe in the physical existence of races—though they recognize the continuing power of racism (the belief that races exist, and that some are better than others). It took some two centuries to reach this conclusion, after countless racial schemes had spun out countless different numbers of races, even of white races, and attempts at classification produced frustration. Although science today denies race any standing as objective truth, and the U.S. census faces taxonomic meltdown, many Americans cling to race as the unschooled cling to superstition. So long as racial discrimination remains a fact of life and statistics can be arranged to support racial difference, the American belief in races will endure. But confronted with the actually existing American population—its distribution of wealth, power, and beauty—the notion of American whiteness will continue to evolve, as it has since the creation of the American Republic.”

Now let’s jump to the last chapter, “Subsequently, an intriguing discussion on race and genetics has been afoot among Jews. One side contends that Jews have nearly always seen themselves as a race, and that studies of Jewish DNA underscore the ‘tribal’ nature of Jewish religion. The other side warns about the chaos that could flow from focusing too tightly on the biological basis of Jewishness, for Jewish men and Jewish women do not share the same set of genes. While the Y-chromosomes of Jewish men show a relatively high degree of similarity all over the world, they are particularly close to the configuration of Middle Easterners of any background. Jewish women’s mitochondrial DNA, in contrast, shows much less similarity, leading to the conclusion that Jewish men often married non-Jewish women. Treating Jewishness as something in the genes risks fissuring an already heterogeneous community.”

What is so bizarre about this statement is that the same ethnic group that dominates cultural anthropology, sociology, and the biological sciences—that is Jews who she claims universally deny that races exist—are the same people who are claiming that they are part of the very real “Jewish race.”

She continues, “The biological meaninglessness of classifying people according to race remained the scholarly consensus until about 2002. Then research came to light that sought to lump DNA patterns by population groups. This work produced a theory that DNA falls into five major groups—Africans, Europeans and Middle Easterners, East Asians, Melanesians, and American Indians—which happen to correspond more or less to those of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach and popular views. (True to the disorderly history of race, a study in Scientific American in 2003 reported a four-way grouping.) The New York Times illustrated its story about this research with a long colored bar graph. Only in its last paragraph does the report explain that even though all people ‘share most of their genetic variability in common,’ the chart is based on ‘these genetic differences, not on the very much larger shared inheritance.’ In short, the illustration is neither helpful nor accurate, in that it wildly exaggerates differences while omitting the overwhelming degree of similarity. True to racial thinking, differences were stressed and similarities played down. The idea of biological race was reemerging as genetic science.” So she admits in the end that race does in fact exist according to many in the scientific community; take away political correctness and there would not be any controversy.



Continuing again she states, “This sort of reinterpretation seemed eerily familiar. Liberal social scientists and geneticists feared that some geneticists were once again searching for genetic causes underlying diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular

disease that reflect racial disparities likely rooted in injuries of class and history

. Lost in that speculation was the certainty that those diseases stem from a complex interplay between environment and the interaction of many genes, rather than the few genes governing superficial characteristics like skin color and hair texture. Furthermore, rather than addressing poverty, social disarray, and unequal access to health care, genetics could reinforce the class and race status quo, thereby echoing the hereditarian gospel of early twentieth-century eugenics.”

Again, the twisted mind of paranoid Blackness claims that pharmacogenomics is all about a conspiracy by White people for the explicit purpose of not having to spend money on the downtrodden Blacks. It is surprising that we ever even see White scientists in public, since they have to spend so much of their time threading together these conspiracies against “people of color.” Note how intelligent the Ashkenazi Jews are and how stupid are the Blacks; yet they both constantly pathologize White behavior. In the meantime, Whites just passively oblige both groups. We dutifully do as we are told, under the threat of being labeled as racist. It is all so transparent.

Perhaps we will decide not to endure it any longer.
