Congressman Steve King of Iowa violated the greatest taboo in mainstream American politics. He defended White people, and said their contributions to civilization were greater than other groups.
His remarks were in response to a leftist political commentator, Charlie Pierce, who said that Republicans should stop being the party of old White people.
Here is a story on the controversy:
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/rep-steve-king-clarifies-remarks-white-people-civilization/story?id=40687050
My nephews, republicans, are 18, 26, 28 and 24.
Didn’t know that was old age nowadays :)
My old White grandfather turns 90 tomorrow. He was Army Air Corp, about to ship out when the war ended.
I think playing into the left’s race game is a looser. I would say to stick to the issues based on liberty and let the kook left base issues on race.
His reply might better have been: “You mean like Hillary and Bernie, who are both white, and 68 and 74, respectively.”
Whites are only 10% of the world’s population, yet are the most industrious, ingenious, and innovative race the world has known. Whites have formed nations, built civilizations, assumed and administrated power, created the Renaissance, the Age of Discovery, the Industrial Revolution, automation, technology, the space program which landed men on the moon and launched probes exploring beyond the solar system, discovered electricity, created wonder drugs and architecture and have harnessed nuclear power, have unlocked the secrets of DNA and relativity, created computer science and the internet age...... sub-Saharan Africans still cannot even feed themselves
No pre-contact sub-Saharan African society ever created a written language, or weaved cloth, or forged steel, invented the wheel or plow, or devised a calendar, or code of laws, or any social organization, or formal religion. or system of measurement, or math, or built a multi-story structure or bridge or sewer, or infrastructure of any kind, and they never harnessed a river, or even drilled well or irrigated, or built a road or railway or sea-worthy vessel, they never domesticated animals, or exploited underground natural resources, or produced anything that could be considered a mechanical device.
Blacks are the only race incapable of caring for themselves. Whites still have to provide food, medical, financial and engineering aid to Africans. They couldn’t survive without White charity. Blacks became an out-of-control invasive species after Whites domesticated them
At least since the enemedia is memeing that DJT's speech was 'dark', that must make us 'darkies',
and thus immune to any further accusations of the dreaded 'racism', right ? !
“His reply might better have been: “You mean like Hillary and Bernie, who are both white, and 68 and 74, respectively.”
The exact point I made to one with whom I frequently argue. Their response: Hillary gets a pass for being female and Bernie gets a pass for being Jewish.
My deduction: “White” is leftist dogwhistle for Christian conservative male Caucasian. Leftists who are melanin challenged get a pass if they recognize and are ashamed of their “privilege” and express enough guilt for the sins of the past. Useful idiots. Dhimmis, basically.
Modern civilization is entirely due to European-derived peoples, particularly Northern/Western Europeans.
You say this old white guy's to blame
And i should live each day in shame,
I dont deserve anything i got.
But I always had a job,
I didn't steak and rob,
But you think you're down
Just because I'm up!
Wow man. Your post is blatantly racist. Seriously. Wow.
It’s not “privilege”. It’s “talent” that isn’t wasted.
(Barry, I developed my [limited] talent. No one else did it for me. And I didn’t sit around waiting for a government hand out.)
Well said. I have said this for years. Muslims are VERY close to the same description. Muslims have never donated a single bit of knowledge they did not steal from somebody else, but tout their thefts as a great contribution to civilization. Dune coons are ZILCH!
The Orientals didn't do too badly either.
That blanket statement is a basis for being called a racist, and not without cause.
Sub-Saharan Africa is a place where a lot of the things Europeans and Most Orientals had to deal with (climate, seasons, food supplies, shelter) were not a problem. No need for anything more than a hut if it never gets cold; a lot of wild-growing stuff is available to eat (and they did learn to plant and harvest it as well) and animals aplenty to kill for food and domesticate for milk. Our white forebearers had to innovate or die. The blacks had much less need to do so.
Blacks do just fine when they are properly raised, instructed and have good attitudes instilled; whites do badly when NOT properly trained, instructed and when they lack good attitudes.
As for the blacks who can't care for themselves, Thanks, LBJ!
“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.

Not my research
Meta-analysis of associations between human brain volume and intelligence differences.
AUTHORS: Pietschnig, Penke, Wicherts,
ABSTRACT: “By means of a systematic review of published studies and unpublished results obtained by personal communications with researchers, we identified 88 studies examining effect sizes of 148 healthy and clinical mixed-sex samples. Our results showed significant positive associations of brain volume and IQ.”

Brain mass differences between racial groups in the US
Jensen (1998) summarizes the brain mass findings from the Case-Western Reserve (1980) study (N= 811 W, 450 B). An age matched and height adjusted B-W differences of ~100g (~.78SD) was found, which is commensurate with the findings of Bean (1906), Mall (1909), Pearl (1934), and Vint (1934) as described in Rushton and Ankney (2009). Holloway (2002) found a B-W difference of 63 grams (N = 1,391 W; 615 Black). Similar findings have been found based in imaging studies (see 5). In their study, Isamah, et al. (2010) found that African Americans have 1 SD less total cerebrum volume than European Americans.
How many generations have countries in sub-Sahara Africa been receiving food and packages to feed their populations? At what point does one expect a population to assume some personal responsibility?
White men along the Mediterranean Sea had it pretty good too. Yet, somehow they managed to progress. Weather certainly influences civilization but so does war. War is not unique to any race.
The fact is that Asians certainly have advanced both technology and culturally; but as a group they lack the creativity found in Caucasians. This is evident not only in Architecture but in music, art but also in diversity of our inventions.
Why is it that there is this huge disparity in technology, even today? To assume that we are all the same is to disbelieve what is apparent in our schools, in industry, and in careers. In 30 years as an engineer I have met exactly 1 Native American engineer. He is a friend of mine, and truly a drastically flyer in every sense of the word. Cherokee, ex-Marine, electrical Engineer and Jewish. Tell me that’s not an aberation and I will tell you to your face that you are crazy.
Why do blacks make up 12% of the population, yet over-represent in every single negative stastitic you can name? Rape, violent crime, drugs, alcoholism, bankruptcy, drop out, illiteracy, you name it. And not just in America. It’s a world-wide phenomena. Name 1 country on the planet ran by blacks that has ever been successful ever. I will wait.
I tire of having every failure of blacks being blamed on me.
Can not disagree with that!
If I missed a sarcasm tag, I apologize. You have every right to express your opinion, one in which I do not share and find repungnant and repudiate in the strongest terms possible.
I hope anyone reading it accepts the disclaimer this does not reflect the opinion of 99.9% of Freepers.
Someone, somewhere is sitting in a dark basement looking for posts such as yours. When they find it, they will use it as proof conservatives are the extreme, hate filled group they would have the rest if the nation believe.
Please see Post #16
My post was not an opinion. It was a blunt statement of fact; backed up with multiple published studies. If you don’t like the facts, tough. It doesn’t matter, nor does it change the facts. The facts are actual.
The facts also are “why” we find ourselves in the world we live in today. Why do blacks world-wide all blame someone else for their troubles? Africa is perhaps the most mineral rich continent on the planet; yet is also the source of the worlds greatest poverty and misery. Why?
Why do blacks make up 12% of the population yet contribute to the overspending percentage of crime and violence world-wide?
Even the IQ studies are not flattering. And those too are documented and have been published and repeated in the 20’s, 40’s, 60’s and again in the 1980’s each time showing the same results and each time decried as racist because it hurt someone’s feelings. Facts are facts and do not care about your feelings or mine.
Research and ask why. And instead of pointing a finger and saying “racist”; instead look at the facts and understand why.
