Some very incorrect thoughts…

IQ & PC — By Chris Brand

Under pressure from self-styled ‘anti-racists’, the New York-based academic publishing house, Wiley, unilaterally broke its contract with author Chris Brand by de-publishing the book for ‘racism.’

When Simon Sheppard and Stephen Whittle stepped off a plane at LAX in July 2008 – a couple of jet-lagged Brits on the lam from the United Kingdom – they looked for the first uniformed U.S. official they could find. Unfortunately for them, they found one. They thought they had found safe harbor from the English court that three days earlier had convicted them of hate-related writings originating on their website. Rather than wait for sentencing – expected to range from a year or two for Whittle to perhaps five years or more for Sheppard – the men skipped bail and hopped a plane in Dublin, believing that U.S. free-speech traditions and the visa waivers they secured at an Irish airport would shield them. Sheppard says he approached a U.S. official in Los Angeles, showed him the visa waiver and said in effect, “I’m sorry to be a nuisance, but we want to claim political asylum in the United States.” Eleven months later, Sheppard, 52, and Whittle, 42, remain in U.S. custody, spending their days in orange jumpsuits in the Santa Ana City Jail and awaiting a return to England and likely jail sentences. Since arriving in America, they haven’t spent a single day as free men.

Fortunately for the entire planet, words and pictures can never cause harm no matter who made them or who perceives them. Private information such as diaries deserve legal protection. Government secrets can sometimes deserve legal protection. Business secrets can sometimes deserve (or at least purchase) legal protection. But outside of these exceptions, I advocate the freedom of speech guaranteed in the United States Constitution. There is mistaken information at heretical.com, but publication of mistakes should not be criminal. There are unkind remarks and images at heretical.com, but publication of the unkind should not be criminal. It would have been better if the US had given these two men asylum, even though they have published mistakes and unkindness. From heretical.com: "News just received on June 11 that Simon Sheppard and Steve Whittle are to be deported from LAX on June 16, arriving in London June 17, when they will be arrested, taken to court, and put in jail for writing on a web site in Torrance, California words protected by the First Amendment." Advocates of freedom of speech, now is the time to step forward. - Trevor Blake]

Whiteness studies is an interdisciplinary arena of academic inquiry focused on the cultural, historical and sociological aspects of people identified as white, and the social construction of whiteness as an ideology tied to social status.

Dubya got a hold of the keys, got high on neocon hooch, and crashed and rolled the family SUV. He launched an unnecessary war against a country that had not attacked us. With his utopian No Child Left Behind scheme and his Medicare drug plan, he did his passable imitation of LBJ, and blew a hole in the budget.

… and here is some of Lovecraft’s writing…

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Iove’s fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th’Olympian host conceiv’d a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a nigger.
- H. P. Lovecraft, “On the Creation of Niggers”

“Race prejudice is a gift of nature, intended to preserve in purity the various divisions of mankind which the ages have evolved.”
- H. P. Lovecraft, Letters

“Now the trickiest catch in the Negro problem is the fact that it is really twofold. The Black is vastly inferior. There can be no question of this among contemporary and unsentimental biologists… But, it is also a fact that there would be a very grave and very legitimate problem even if the Negro were the White man’s equal.”
- H. P. Lovecraft, Letters

“Of course they can’t let Niggers use the beach at a Southern resort – can you imagine sensitive persons bathing near a pack of greasy chimpanzees? The only thing that makes life endurable where Blacks abound is the Jim Crow principle, and I wish they’d apply it in New York both to Niggers and to the more Asiatic types of puffy, rat-faced Jews!”
- H. P. Lovecraft, Letters

“The mass of contemporary Jews [are] hopeless so far as America [because they are the] product of alien blood, and inherit alien ideals, impulses, and emotions which forever preclude the possibility of wholesale assimilation… The fact is, that an Asiatic stock broken and dragged through the dirt for untold centuries cannot possibly meet a Nordic race on an emotional parity. On our side there is a shuddering physical repugnance to most Semitic types, and when we try to be tolerant we are merely blind or hypocritical. Two elements so discordant can never build one society – no feeling of real linkage can exist where so vast a disparity of ancestral memories is concerned – so that wherever the Wandering Jew wanders, he will have to content himself with his own society till he disappears or is killed off in some sudden outburst of physical loathing on our part.”
- H. P. Lovecraft, Letters

“Most Jews hold like mules to their beliefs, and most are racially unfit for amalgamation anyhow. What of this alien majority? Well – as with the negro, there is only one thing we can do as an immediate expedient to save ourselves; Keep them out of our national and racial life. With the negro the fight is wholly biological, whilst with the Jew it is mainly spiritual; but the principle is the same. We are Aryans, and only our future as a self-respecting stock lies in our resistance to anything like an Alexandrian mental hybridisation. Let us preserve and glory in our own inherited Western life and impulses and standards, and let us resist to the death any attempt at fastening to our body of national custom any feeling or feature aside from that which we legitimately derive from the tall, fair Aryans who begat us and who founded our English civilisation and Anglo-American nation.”
- H. P. Lovecraft, Letters

None of these texts are unpublished, or difficult to find, or unclear. H. P. Lovecraft was a racist. But his fame and influence are unaffected by his bigotry. This suggests that when someone is accused of bigotry this accusation may be an attack on that person, not on their ideas or behavior. Because others are given a free ride while being just as racist. Some are chosen to be branded a racist and are never forgiven. Others are forgiven. Amnesty doesn’t seem to be based on the actual ideas or behavior of the accused.

It’s not that insensitive comments are a strictly Republican issue. But Republicans seem genuinely stupefied when it comes to dealing with their new iota of diversity.
