Why Race Matters and Why the Races Don’t

“Under close scrutiny, the division into races according to the colour of skin turns out to be quite the crudest and most obvious method, since there are noticeably inheritable characteristic racial differences among people of identically coloured skins.” – Alfred Rosenberg

Unquestioning acceptance of status quo racial divisions is the greatest obstacle to proper racial understanding. Happily splitting his species into three colours, or three geographical continents, modern man has produced a conveniently ignorant picture of “the races” (actually ethnic clusters), self-identification along which has created more problems than it has ever solved. We can persist through this dirty mess of racial identity with all the division and strife necessarily embedded into this way of thinking, or wash away the remnants of a bygone era and pursue racial idealism.

The common anti-racist claim takes the form: ”Race is a social construct.” Racists, misinterpreting this as a claim that all humans are identical, respond by supplying extensive anthropometric differences between “the races” (while staying suspiciously silent about anthropometric differences within each of “the races”). This can be attributed to poor formulation of the claim, which we propose should instead take the form: “The races are a social construct.”

Why the Races Don’t Matter

“Cruelty and kindness are of all lands and of all times, just taking different expression in different surroundings” – Savitri Devi

We do not claim, as do the blank slate egalitarians, that everybody is the same. Instead, we consider it self-evident that everybody is different, that no two individuals (with the possible exception of identical twins) are the same, whether within “the races” or between them. Dismissal of “the races” is not denial of heritable diversity, but recognition that classification of heritable diversity can be done in so many informative ways that focus on one classification convention to the exclusion of all others is intellectually dysfunctional (or, more likely, intellecually dishonest). What Jews and Gentiles call racial awareness or race realism, we call racial tunnel vision.

For example, much is made of studies that show ”the races” vary in average IQ, yet it is statistical regularity that when a realistic data set is divided along any marker-based criterion, the resulting subsets are unlikely to have equal averages. If, for example, we regrouped IQ data by somatotype (endomorph, mesomorph, ectomorph), we would find different average IQ for each somatotype, as documented by William Herbert Sheldon (and indeed recognized since Plato, Pythagoras and even earlier). But there are no ”Somatotype Realists” talking about the horrors of ‘mesomorph-on-endomorph crime’ (even though mesomorphs are in fact the most crime-prone somatotype),  or “Endomorph Nationalists” calling those who reproduce outside of their somatotype “metabolism traitors”, nor would anyone take them seriously even if they existed.

The tunnel-visioned ZCs/BSs who tout crime disparity between “the races” as an argument for segregation between “the races” would never advocate segregation between the genders on the same grounds, let alone as a higher priority, despite the fact that crime disparity between the genders far exceeds that between “the races”. Indeed, every time you come across a racist who cites crime disparity to blame an entire ethnic group, compare him with a feminist who cites crime disparity to blame all men. If the feminist contention sounds absurd (as it should to any rational mind), remember that it has stronger statistical backing than the racist contention.

And I am still waiting for someone to demand separate schools for right-handed children only, so that they do not have to be stuck in the same classroom as left-handed children whose brains work demonstrably differently.

The question we should be asking, therefore, is why Zionist government organizations insist on releasing official statistics classified according to “the races” but never release the same statistics classified according to blood type or somatotype or any of the hundreds of other parameters of human variation that could be used. Is it not obvious that they actually want us to think in terms of “the races”, despite their public claims to the contrary?

The truth is that the predominance of ”the races” over other classifications is due solely to political utility in the post-Renaissance West. Primarily to justify colonialism, the British Empire introduced a hierarchical concept of ”the three races” (Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid), a classification continued by post-independence America in policies relating to slavery and other issues, and consequently embedded into modern thought. Social and reproductive segregation along such lines caused separate cultures along these same lines to develop even in a single society, making the classification a self-fulfilling prophecy, much as the designers intended.

“The wealth of Great Britain is the result less of a perfect commercial organization than of the capitalist exploitation of the three hundred and fifty million Indian slaves. … That’s the strength of the English: to allow the natives to live whilst they exploit them to the uttermost.” – Adolf Hitler

“The English are well known throughout the world for their lack of political scruples. They are experts at the art of hiding their misdeeds behind a facade of virtue. They have been at it for centuries, and it has become such a part of their nature that they hardly notice it any longer. They carry on with such a pious expression and deadly seriousness that they even convince themselves that they are the exemplars of political virtue. They do not admit their hypocrisy to themselves. It never happens that one Englishman says to another with a wink or a smile “We don’t want to fool ourselves, do we now.” They do not only behave as if they were the model of piety and virtue — they really believe that they are. That is both amusing and dangerous.” – Joseph Goebbels

This “three races” classification was considered coarse even by pre-WWII academia, which preferred a strict anthropometric classification that returned a much larger number of races. The hypocrisy is that many who emphasize the importance of sorting people according to the ”three races” are the ones most likley to turn around and dismiss these more detailed classifications as unimportant. This is perfectly understandable when we examine their psychology. As racists seek vicarious elevation of status by group association, they must promptly discontinue this exercise before it has a chance to lead to unflattering results. Racial identity is vanity, nothing more.

Meanwhile, the Zionist agenda to cause interethnic hostility is best served precisely by this rather coarse racial identity classification, both so that statistics can be manipulated conveniently, and so that people can easily be fed with the required stereotypes (something that would be much harder with a classification scheme involving hundreds of anthropometric categories). So this is why Zionist government organizations do not tell us about the Dinaric unemployment rate or the Phalic fertility rate or the Alpine divorce rate: because this does not help them start fights between groups of non-Jews nearly as well as the coarser classification.

Why Race Matters

“The decisive problem which alone remained was thus: What was the method by which one was to find these men who as successors of the former creators of the body of our people and therefore as their heirs could today maintain their work? Here there was but one possibility: one could not from the race infer the capacity but one had to infer from the capacity the racial fitness for the task.” – Adolf Hitler

But the point is not just to switch to self-identification based on a more honest or more detailed system of classification, because in so doing we remain passive to past evolutionary circumstance. Any kind of static racial identity promotes acceptance of the defects in whatever race one has decided to belong to (and corresponding attachment towards the cultural expressions of these defects). Racism is most dangerous not by its intolerance towards the out-group, but by its tolerance towards the in-group.

The only positive response – the National Socialist response – is to take control and redefine race as a product of our control. We agree that culture is significantly a product of genetics. Unlike the ethnopreservationists, however, we despise the cultures they support - cultures of arrogance, colonialism, industrialization, finance, fuel machines, cruelty to animals, exploitation of the environment and almost every other evil imaginable. Their aim is to preserve their cultures, and thus by logic the gene pools that produced them. Our aim is to start fresh. Authentic National Socialism was never about comparing one gene pool with another, but about recognizing and promoting the high-quality elements from any number of gene pools for the sake of a new, idealistic beginning (hence Hitler speaking of “two Germanys” and “two Japans“).

The simplest way to understand racial idealism is to think of a race as a genetic folk. If a folk is a people that work towards a common purpose, then a race is a people with a biological – and therefore heritable – tendency to work towards a common purpose. Indeed any folk that reproduces with sufficiently strong selective pressure concordant with its purpose will, given enough time (which can be drastically shortened by appropriate state initiatives), become such a race.

“Races provide the original fundamentals of our essence and our expressions; it determines the physical and psychical collective expression of our people; but our Folk is a new biological unity whose members are joined together in the portentous bands of a community of blood in a common homeland. Within a Folk the profound biological laws of human evolution, heredity and selection, adaption and genetic drift, realize themselves. Race is therefore a result, Folk is a commencement in the biological evolution of human groups.” – Egon Freiherr von Eickstedt

Spartans were a product of racial idealism in this sense, bred in a society that selected against physical weakness and emotional sensitivity, and thus racially distinct from (though ethnically similar to) their fellow Greeks despite a common starting stock. African-American slaves were also a product of racial idealism for useful slave traits, which made them racially distinct from (though ethnically similar to) the West Africans from which they had originated. Jews too - and despite their multi-stock origin (Levantine/Khazarian/etc.) – can be considered a product of racial idealism in this sense, though their selection process is much more complex.

From these examples, it is evident that the term “racial idealism” on its own does not ensure that the ideal itself is a good one. A key mission of Aryanism is to advocate - come the time when a racial ideal must be chosen - a choice based on nobility rather than mere competence. But to even reach the stage where we as a world are ready to discuss which racial ideal to pursue, racial idealism must first entirely replace racial identity as the standard perspective.

“Race, with a capital letter, no longer exists in this darkest time of the earth. It is something that once was, and to which one claims to return as to an ideal. As with Greek statues, whose models were never present. But it is a duty to aim at this perfection and this transmutation. This and nothing else was what Hitler taught us.” – Miguel Serrano

If you call for racial identity, you will get racial tension. If you call for racial segregation, you will get racial violence. The Zionists know this; that is why they are increasingly pushing racial identity into current reactionary politics. Our Aryanist reponse is: if you call for racial idealism, you will get racial unity. As such, all who continue to favour racial identity over racial idealism can be safely counted among our enemies.

Belief in the importance of race to society is one of the founding principles of authentic National Socialism. But the race in which we believe is qualitative race, not ethnic race. We care about the heritable trait, not about where or when the heritable trait evolved. We seek racial type in the pure sense, free from ethnocentric baggage. We want a society of people genetically superior in nobility, in honour, in empathy, in kindness and in health and beauty – in short, a society of Aryans. It does not matter at all what colour they are or in which part of the world their ancestors lived. Indeed, a proper discussion about quality cannot begin until ethnicity has become a non-issue.

“Race is a social construct” now takes on a new meaning altogether: that we have it in our power to construct the race of the future.
