I agree. But such thinking is banned on FR because groups like Vdare are assumed to be racist. If conservatives do not subscribe to the prevailing racial orthodoxy, they're banned from polite society. The existence of real group as opposed to individual differences is also a fact of nature - not just culture. In America we're trapped within the bounds of DZGD precisely due to the poisonous legacy of racism. But its being stifled by that dogma which has prevented conservatives from offering non-liberal solutions to address the issue of race in America today.

In a non-racist context, group differences can be frankly summarized as follows: one group is excellent at one sort of pursuit, middling in another and hopeless in another. Just as individuals have geniuses, average folks and idiots. This is admitted both by life, observation and by human nature. (In social science, we're familiar with this as the Bell Curve.) We should aim to treat people in character as equals but treat them differently according to their innate cognitive and physical abilities. That concept offends the very notion of the DZGD dogma, which says every one has the same degree of intelligence, moral upbringing and physical strength. Two examples should illustrate of how absurd is our outlook on group differences. Few blacks are academic superstars but they are athletic wunderkinds. Few women have upper body strength but they are great teachers. Its a general observation of real group differences in the sense that the abilities extend not just across individuals but groups. Just as individuals are not all alike, neither are the groups of which they are members the same in every respect.

Vdare is racist. Maybe you don't think so because most of what they say doesn't apply to you. In case you forgot, FR isn't all white. So yeah when someone posts BS from Vdare HELL YES I'm going to hit abuse. If you want to post Vdare articles then go to Stormfront where it's welcome. That's all I have to say about Vdare.

The problem with VDare and groups of their ilk is that they always print the negative incidents about blacks.No balance whatsoever.That lack of balance indicats to me that they have other axes to grind rather than merely to bring a new perspective to the liberal media take on race.
