Whites and Blacks, a Racial Contrast

[David_Sims]

If you read the African press, you might have noticed that their news articles regarding the launching of a satellite, to which one or another of the African countries will have legal ownership, are worded such that the reader might think that the Africans launched it themselves.

And that isn't true. No group of blacks, working on their own, has ever launched anything into orbit. It has never happened. Every satellite owned by an African country was launched either by SpaceX, by ULA, by Roscosmos, by Jaxa, or by the Chinese military.

Now, there have been launches from African soil, but it wasn't Africans doing the launching. The Luigi-Broglio spaceport in Kenya is an Italian project, based on land (and water) leased by the Italian government from the government of Kenya for 33 million shillings per year.

The African press has, at times, deceptively worded their news regarding launches from somewhere in Africa as being the handiwork of black Africans. And that has never been the case.

When a black person flies into space, he flies on white rockets. That has always been true, and I don’t expect it to change anytime soon. Whites put blacks into space in the same way they can put a dog or an ape into space.

You might wish to know ONE THING that makes the white race better than some of the others.

Of course, now that you have ONE THING, you’ll immediately dub it insufficient. So let me go a little further.

There have been empires among African blacks. They have not been entirely without political ambition during the past two thousand years.

The Mali Empire lasted 280 years (1220-1500) and had its greatest extent in 1350 of just over 420,000 square miles, about one-and-a-half Texases in size. Its rulers had a lot of gold. One of them made a pilgrimage to Mecca from 1324-26, and donated a great sum of gold to Islam.

The Ghana Empire preceded the Mali Empire and occupied some of the same territory. It was much smaller than the Mali Empire, but it lasted longer (300 to 1220). It went unnoticed by most of the world until a Muslim scholar wrote about it in 830.

The word ghana, by the way, means "warrior chief."

The Aksum Empire occupied the lands of what are today Eritrea, northern Ethiopia, Djibouti and Sudan from about AD 100 to AD 950. It reached its greatest extent in 525, when it also occupied a strip of coastal land at the southeastern end of the Arabian Peninsula.

At its greatest size of 970000 square miles, it was 3.6 times larger than Texas, or about the same size as Texas + Colorado + Utah + Nevada + Arizona + New Mexico + California. For most of its existence, however, the Aksum Empire was considerably smaller than that.

But — and here is the important question — what did the blacks DO with their empires?

Explore the world? No.
Have an industrial revolution? No.
Invent airplanes? No.
Generate electric power? No.
Land on the moon and explore the planets of the solar system? Hell no.

When each of these black empires left the world, it left it no greater or wiser than it was before it appeared.

And that's the point of civilization: to leave mankind generally more capable than it ever was before.

Contrast those African empires with those of the Arabs. They left mankind with a number system and forms of mathematics that never existed before.

Or contrast with the ancient Greeks, who first codified the laws of logic, which we still use today in science and in debate. Or contrast with the ancient Chinese, who created many inventions that are still in use.

And, striding on planes far higher still, there is Western Civilization from the time its scholars became free of the tyranny of religious dogma, bringing about the industrial revolution, the first rise of a technical civilization, commercially viable electric power, medicine that really works, comprehensive world geography, computers, spaceflight, and much more.

There were African "empires" other than the ones I’ve named. The Benin Empire. The Songhai Empire. The Bamana Empire. The Gao Empire. The Jolof Empire. The Kaabu Empire. The Empire of Great Fulo. And so on.

But all of them share the status of "might as well never have been" for all the enduring effect they had on humanity, which is to say, none. That's the reason few people today know about them.

However large they became, and however long they lasted, they were never more than warlord fiefs writ large. Their entire purpose was the power, wealth, and privileges of their elite class: black strongmen, black dictators.

White civilizations may pass, but they leave the world enriched. Black civilizations do not. And that is why the white race is better — more worthy of a place on Earth — than is the black one. More bang for the buck. More ounce to the bounce. More cultural attainment per unit of energy expended. The white race delivers more and better cultural product, creates more enduring advantages, and hence it has more value.

The races are not equals and, furthermore, while the black race has its advantages, the advantages possessed by the white race are more important when one hopes to live under civilized circumstances.

Earth will not be habitable forever. The white race is the race best able to carry the Life of Earth to other places and give it new homes to live in, where it will be safe from any catastrophe that might befall Earth. The black race cannot do any such thing. Lose the black race, and you merely lose the black race. But if you lose the white race, then you might lose all the life in the universe. That is the difference in the importance and in the worth of these two races.

RACE, SOCIAL CLASS AND ABILITY PATTERNS ON THE WISC-R

See Table 1 on page numbered 425 (the third page of the PDF file).

From that table, you will see that the normal distribution that best fits the IQ distribution of young white Americans (of both sexes) is

102.25 ± 14.08

whereas the normal distribution that best fits the IQ distribution of young black Americans (of both sexes) is

86.42 ± 12.75

While it is true that someone’s race doesn’t determine his individual IQ, it does determine the probability for a randomly chosen member of a race to have an IQ being at, or above, a specified value.

A good approximation of the fraction, f, of a race having an average IQ of x̄ and a standard deviation in IQ of σ, which is above the minimum IQ of μ, can be found as follows:

f(μ,x̄,σ) = [σ√(2π)]⁻¹ ∫(μ,∞) exp{ −[(x−x̄)/σ]²/2 } dx

Taking advantage of the normal distribution's symmetry, we make it more easily integrable.

f(μ,x̄,σ) = ½ − [σ√(2π)]⁻¹ ∫(x̄,μ) exp{ −[(x−x̄)/σ]²/2 } dx

You can avoid integrating the probability density function if you have a handy error function to call.

f(μ,x̄,σ) = 1 − ½ { 1 + erf [(μ−x̄)/(σ√2)] }

Let us suppose that an employer wants to hire workers for a job that, in his opinion, requires a minimum IQ of 130 for satisfactory performance. He lives in an area that is demographically typical for the United States, where whites outnumber blacks by a ratio of five.

The fraction of whites who are qualified for the job on the basis of IQ is

f( μ=130.0, x̄=102.25, σ=14.08 ) = 0.024368762635

The fraction of blacks who are qualified for the job on the basis of IQ is

f( μ=130.0, x̄=86.42, σ=12.75 ) = 0.000315370091

If the population of whites and of blacks were equal in size, then the ratio of mentally qualified whites to mentally qualified blacks would be 77.27036688.

Since whites outnumber blacks in the area where the employer's business is, by a ratio of five, the actual ratio of mentally qualified whites to mentally qualified blacks is 386.3518344.

If the employer needs fewer than 100 new employees, it could very easily turn out that he will hire no blacks at all, even if he uses no racism whatsoever in selecting his hirelings.

In fact, of the occasions in which this scenario plays out, and exactly 100 new workers are hired, the employer will have hired

100 whites and 0 blacks on 77.19% of occasions
99 whites and 1 black on 20.01%
98 whites and 2 blacks on 2.57%
97− whites and 3+ blacks on 0.23%

Because the United States is a First World country in which most of the best jobs are mentally challenging jobs, purely free-market hiring practices will exclude a demographically disproportionately high fraction of low-average-IQ races from those jobs. This is normal & natural.

It is the only way by which a country can remain competitive internationally, especially with countries that don't engage in politically correct tampering with the free market for labor.

A focus on merit is a good thing. It is in conflict with diversity and inclusion. Therefore, diversity and inclusion are bad ideas, and to focus on them, instead of on merit, is harmful.

No group of blacks, working on their own, has ever launched anything into orbit. It has never happened.

Scientific progress merely advances at a different pace in Africa.
