The triumph of the cultural left is an ongoing disaster to America and every other Western country. The result is stultifying intellectual conformity in all the elite institutions of society, particularly the educational system. All levels of the educational system are rigorously policed to ensure ideological conformity, with the result that college graduates—especially college graduates—emerge zombie-like, mouthing politically correct platitudes they heard from their brilliant professors, mindlessly looking forward to an impossible future of racial harmony where the White minority adapts seamlessly and joyously to life among their non-White brothers.
Michael Polignano somehow managed to overcome all that. And what’s really amazing is that he did it while still a college student. Overcoming the propaganda is a remarkable achievement at any age, but is especially difficult for young people. Not only have they been subjected to this massive propaganda assault since kindergarten, they have to overcome the natural human proclivity to conformity that is especially strong among young people. I am ashamed to say that I was hopelessly conformist in college and grad school. Even after becoming ever more disenchanted with the left (I was happy Reagan was elected), I couldn’t really get out of the narrow confines of the political mainstream.
Mike Polignano gets it. This is about racial survival: “A proposed moral principle cannot conflict with the survival of the race.” He is a biologist by training, and it shows. He has a clear understanding of group interests:
The reality is: The races are at war with one another. The different human races are distinct subspecies, with distinct temperaments and talents, some of which conflict dramatically. It is an iron biological law that when two distinct subspecies try to occupy the same ecological niche in the same geographical region, there will be group conflict. . . . But since we’re rational creatures, humans also have [another] option: voluntary separation. This last option preserves racial uniqueness and eliminates interracial competition, allowing each race to shape the course of its own future.
Mike Polignano rejects White guilt. We have to develop a sense of urgency to reverse the tide that is swelling against us: “In this time of racial peril, the highest and noblest thing any of us can do is work together to ensure the survival and flourishing of the white race, so it can give birth to new Leonardos and Newtons and Teslas.” I couldn’t agree more.
Multiculturalism then becomes not a source of strength, but the ideology of White dispossession—nothing more than “an attempt to replace White cultures with non-White cultures—or, more precisely, with fantasies, lies, and sanitized half truths about non-White cultures designed to make them seem spiritually and morally superior.”
And as he notes, “Social ostracism is a small thing to risk considering what’s at stake.” Indeed, he correctly sees Whites as “too polite, too concerned to accommodate and demonstrate goodwill to non-White invaders.” It is a politeness fueled at least partly by the desire not to be ostracized, not to take views that oppose what all the “smart people” in the universities and the elite media believe. Going against it takes a lot of intellectual confidence and a very thick skin.
Mike Polignano is a race realist in every sense of the word. Although he sees Whites as having made unique and irreplaceable contributions to civilization, he also advocates eugenics. The White gene pool could be improved by providing incentives for the best and the brightest to have children.
Eugenics is an idea that that was once championed by progressive thinkers of all political persuasions but has fallen into disfavor because the contemporary left rejects any acknowledgment that genes influence important behaviors like IQ—despite the overwhelming evidence from research. Nowadays, there is an automatic, knee-jerk accusation of Nazi sympathies whenever eugenics is mentioned. But the research is quite clear that genetic influences explain most of the variation in intelligence. And that implies that eugenic breeding practices would indeed be effective.
Polignano is also a race realist when it comes to race differences in IQ. The left quickly noticed that civil rights laws and an equal playing field did not result in equal outcomes. The result has been affirmative action designed to magically create a non-White elite with all the same skills as the people they are displacing accompanied by massive propaganda featuring brilliant Blacks and stupid Whites. The result is:
a Potemkin village increasingly populated by non-Whites who, regardless of their real merits, have been promoted a rung or two above those merits because of their race. Television and the movies portray a fantasy world filled with dumb blondes and Black doctors, lawyers, judges, inventors, and computer geniuses. But behind the façade hides a vast, squalid reality of false promises, false hopes, and outright falsehoods about race—all premised on the refusal to accept racial inequality as a natural fact.
Polignano is also a realist when it comes to Jewish influence. He has a hilarious spoof on the “Differently Intelligent” and the “National Association for the Advancement of Retarded People” where all the advocates for these unfortunate souls are highly accomplished people with obvious Jewish names:
The NAARP was founded and staffed by the law firm of Wiesel, Wiener, Liehr, Ratner, and Cohen (Ari Wiesel, JD, Harvard, SAT 1560; Barry Wiener, JD, Yale, SAT 1470; Aaron Liehr, JD, Harvard, SAT 1510; Shulamith Ratner, JD, Harvard, SAT 1520; and Adam Cohen, JD, Yale, SAT 1420). (Mr. Wiener returned to private practice in 1999 after the passage of the Equalization of Opportunity Act and has won multi-billion dollar settlements in class action suits on behalf of DI individuals.)
Although this is satire, it points to a real issue: Very intelligent Jews from the very best schools have used their abilities to engineer the Potemkin village of Black and Latino accomplishment—not to mention altering the law on Church-State relations and promoting the “rights” of immigrants, legal and illegal: the Jewish elite hostile to the traditional White majority of America.
Polignano also points to two key traits of Jews that make them such formidable enemies to White America and the West: (1) Their powerful sense of collectivism—that Jews have a strong sense of Jewish communal interest and have a remarkable agreement on the basic issues they see as benefiting Jews—particularly issues such as immigration and multiculturalism in the US, and support for Israel as an ethnically exclusive Jewish state. (2) The Jewish hatred of Christianity “which over the centuries has given rise to terrible persecutions whenever Jews have gained political power.” This is exactly right.
One very encouraging aspect of Mike Polignano’s story is that it shows that a smart and inquisitive college student can bypass political correctness and plug into powerful scientific research that supports a race realist perspective. It goes without saying that such research would not be mentioned in classrooms at the vast majority of American universities, except perhaps to call attention to the “sloppy scholarship” and “moral turpitude” of the scientists who produced it. The good news is that well-informed discussions of this body of research as well as quite a few of the original academic papers are readily available online.
As a result, Polignano has extensive discussions of quite a few of the leading figures in this academic movement, including Frank Salter and Arthur Jensen. His encounter with Jensen’s research seems to have been pivotal. His column on Jensen in the Emory student newspaper not only caused an uproar on campus, it doubtless led to a deep understanding of the current academic environment. He was subjected to a forum pitting six hostile professors (none psychologists) against an undergrad who was expected to defend Jensen’s position.
Imagine his disgust when some professors agreed in private that Jensen might be right but were too cowardly to come out and say so in public. Remember, at least some of these people had tenure and couldn’t have been fired from their jobs for expressing agreement with Jensen. But they could be sure that they could forget about being invited to academic cocktail parties or getting any grants from the university for their travel or research. What a commentary on the contemporary academic world:
I came to realize that an extremely nasty and highly motivated minority of faculty and students held the campus in the grip of fear. The purpose of my public humiliation was clear: It was a warning. Anyone who publicly acknowledged scientific facts or personal experiences about the reality of race could expect the same treatment.
Arthur Jensen is the Galileo of our times. And to its eternal shame, Emory University refused to look into the telescope.
This is exactly the sort of experience that would turn a bright student away from even thinking about wanting to get a teaching or research position in the academic world. Seeing what can happen when one takes seriously the views of someone like Jensen with impeccable academic credentials would certainly be daunting. One could only look forward to hostility, ostracism, and academic unemployment if one went that route. Recent research indicates that graduate students self-select on the basis of their political beliefs: Controlled for IQ, conservatives avoid the academic profession, while people on the left find a welcome home there. Thus the academy becomes ever more one-sidedly leftist.
If there is one thing I wish Mike Polignano had done, it is to write about his personal subjective experience of being the focal point of all this hostility on the Emory campus. Did students walk up to him and angrily denounce him? Did faculty members give him condescending looks, implying that, “as anyone with any brains knows, Jensen is a crackpot”? Was he forced to be a loner, or did he find a group of students on campus who offered social support?
I have had quite a bit of experience with the personal shunning and hostility that views like race realism elicit on college campuses these days. I never did really adjust to it. And in my case, I couldn’t rely on anyone on campus who really agreed with me intellectually, although there were a few gestures of friendliness. The result was that encountering faculty members or even some students would lead to a lot of anxiety.
It must have been much worse for Polignano if only because the urge to fit in is much stronger in young people. And while I have tenure, he must have been looking ahead to a life where his views would forever taint his chances of really getting ahead in multicultural America. When a lot of students look back at college, it’s a pleasant blur of parties, socializing, and studying—not memories of hostility and ostracism.
People like Mike Polignano are a rare and courageous breed. We need a lot more like him. And we have to find ways to support them financially as they continue their careers as effective writers and activists on behalf of the White majority of America.

We fall into a trap when we accept our enemies’ rhetoric about genetic race differences.
They claim that differences don’t exist, and then we, keeping ourselves emancipated from the MultiCult Diversity Curse of Equality, claim differences do exist because the science proves it.
They then say we are using disproven junk science to prove our racist, toxic, virulent, hateful, extremist, dangerous, and false Nazi theories. They couple these pronouncements with invoking the names of “distinguished, esteemed, renowned, heroic, wonderful, courageous, trailblazing, pioneering, iconic” African Americans such as Jesse Robinson, Rosa Parks, Michael King Rev., Maya Angelou, and Barak Obama. (We’d rather they talk more about Rev. James Cone, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and Rev. Jesse Jackson, just for kicks.)
We then point out what Carleton Putnam observed about Franz Boas’ mysterious conversion to the MultiCult Diversity Curse of Equality:
Perhaps the most effective way to illustrate the trend of Boas’ development was to examine two editions of his The Mind of Primitive Man.{14} In the 1911 edition he wrote: “Differences of
structure must be accompanied by differences of function, physiological as well as psychological;
and, as we found clear evidence of differences in structure between the races, so we must
anticipate that the differences in mental characteristics will be found.”
This crucial statement Boas omitted, without explanation, from the 1938 edition. One of Boas’
students and followers, Otto Klineberg, suggested that “it seems highly probable that Boas
changed his mind on this point.”{15} To which Dr. George aptly replied, “Possibly so; but I
know of nothing in the development of anatomy or physiology between 1911 and 1938, or since,
to justify a change of mind . . .; quite the contrary.”{16} Boas had said flatly, “We found clear evidence of differences in structure between the races.” One might now
reasonably ask— what had happened to these differences?

We then insist that the Egalitarian Nurturers lose credibility when they don’t answer facts with facts. But in all our arguing, we are allowing them to set the terms of debate, and they win because they force us to shout into the passing wind. No matter what we say or prove, they will say we are just projecting our prejudiced biases and racist stereotypes onto inconclusive science.
The strength of their arguments is not the facts, but in how vile they say the enemies they are fighting are: us.
We give them willing targets for their politically correct (i.e. enforced sensitivity) platitudes. When they criticize us, they are proving to their peers and betters how anti-racist they are, how progressive, and how passionately they embrace Diversity, how readily they defend civil and human rights, and most of all, how committed they are to transformative change, the forward march of human dignity, and the success of liberty.
In other words, the louder and truer we get, the more “dangerous discoveries” we make, the more effective they get at keeping themselves well-entrenched in power, privilege, profit, and perks, and of course, tenure. We help the SPLC, ADL, and NAACP stay rich and get richer.
But it’s all our fault, because we fall into their trap.
Sadly, even our best advocates are guilty. For example, take Dr. MacDonald’s introduction to Taking Our Own Side, and his use of this excerpt from Palignano: “But behind the façade hides a vast, squalid reality of false promises, false hopes, and outright falsehoods about race—all premised on the refusal to accept racial inequality as a natural fact.”
The hidden truth is that our enemies don’t “refuse” to accept nature’s inequality. They know it’s true. That’s why they must fight us so hard, because they know that nature won’t prove them right and us wrong. They act like they “refuse,” but they actually accept the science.
Their agenda isn’t to prove Equality as a fact of existence, but to force Equality as desired condition, which requires Whites to give something up, which requires us to become weakened. Behind all they say and do, their number one objective is to prevent White Humanity from developing healthy White identity, which they call “unhealthy White identity.”
Any White identity that is not imbued with the ethic of “we must atone for the sins of segregation by holding ourselves accountable to people of color for our unearned White privileges” is “unhealthy”. Healthy White identities can only be formed through close supervision and training by Multicultural Specialist and Facilitators. Whites must not have their own symbols, groups, histories, culture, arts, music, etc., any thing they do have must be Inclusively Tolerant of Multicultural Diversity.
Our enemies don’t really believe that black IQ will increase through exposure to Whites, but they do know that Whites will eventually become less appreciative of high White IQ if everything Whites do is contained and moderated within the context of Diversity.
Look at the final step required in becoming an Anti-Racist, Multicultural Institution. Step Six of the Multicultural Continuum is not predicated on equal genetics. It’s all based on Whites’ giving something up, and for us to do that, we must believe that what we have isn’t so special after all. White guilt isn’t working like it used to, so now training Whites into their “healthy” White identities is the method of forcing our agreement with subjective self-devaluation and subsequent surrender, all the way unto the White wombs of our teens and college girls. Loyalty to White symbols and our superior genetics are primary enemies to the MultiCult’s building “vibrant, safe, diverse” communities. Our loyalty can be broken down by training us into “healthy” identities.

6. Fully Inclusive
A Transformed Institution
in a Transformed Society
• Future vision of an institution
and wider community
that has overcome systemic
racism
• Institution’s life reflects
full participation and
shared power with diverse
racial, cultural and economic
groups in determining
its mission, structure,
constituency, policies and
practices
• Full participation in
decisions that shape
the institution, and inclusion
of diverse cultures,
lifestyles and interests
• A sense of restored
community and mutual
caring
• Allies with others in combating
all forms of social
oppression
What’s at the other end of the Continuum? That evil Step One, which I’m sure MacDonald and Polignano would agree, as would all genuinely healthy Whites, is the most desirable for any safe and thriving community.
On the subject of bizarre, obviously political, academic race-denial, as broached above by “Let My People Go,” Canadian scientist Peter Frost has been putting together a little investigative series on the strange case of Professor Cavalli-Sforza, world-renowned as one of today’s top population geneticists yet also known as someone who is persistently coy about the existence of race and of inborn racial differences, even bordering on race-denial at times. His case is “strange” of course because he’s not Jewish; among Jewish academics bizarre political-marxoid race-denial is expected, exceptions being rare in the extreme: that Jews are going to deny race virtually goes without saying; when they do, you let it go in one ear and immediately straight out the other. But why is non-Jew Cavalli-Sforza like this when clearly given his knowledge of genetics and his intelligence he knows better?
Frost has uncovered one possible factor, his wartime research as a young Italian scientist in Axis laboratories, laboratories which may have been involved in studying germ warfare: clearly having that in one’s past can be an “encouragement” to keeping one’s mouth shut on any subject where opening it has the potential to get one called a “fascist” and get people snooping around in one’s past “wartime research” — sort of a case of academic honesty being held hostage to a “blemish,” a purely political “blemish,” on one’s research résumé.
But Frost shows there are other potential factors as well, having to do with Cavalli-Sforza’s feelings of personal obligation and loyalty to certain strongly anti-racist U.S. academics, one or two of them Jewish apparently, who helped him considerably after his arrival in the U.S.
Cavalli-Sforza’s coyness on race, even outright race-denial at times, has had Steve Sailer wondering what was going on. Peter Frost’s little series may clear up some of the mystery.

Thanks for this important heads up.
I’m a longtime reader of Peter Frost’s blog, but haven’t been able to check in on it for several months.
This is a valuable series. It actually begins with an unnumbered introductory piece, “A Late Convert” (August 24, 2010). http://evoandproud.blogspot.com/2010/08/late-convert.html
All five entries are (at the moment) accessible simply by scrolling down the front page of his blog: http://evoandproud.blogspot.com
@ Letmypeoplego;
That chart in the link you provided is brilliant. I’ve never seen such an explicit diagram of the “evil ones’” strategy to delegitimize and demonize White people.
Just one more piece in solving the puzzle of understanding why ….
Anti-racist is just a code-word for anti-White.
And solving the “technology of change” used to strip Whites of identity and demonize them as the eternal oppressor who must be destroyed.
Good work!
I saw a Christian TV show today called “Origins,” which is dedicated to teaching Creationism and refuting Darwinian Evolution.
(Who more readily accepts that Diversity is our Strength because All Men Are Created Equal, Christians or Atheists? Christians believe in universalism, which equalizes all men through the same faith. By belief, you are a brother in Christ with the blacks in your nearest ghetto, and you prove your brotherhood by donating money to your little sister’s Outreach Mission to the poor, underprivileged un-churched in the ghetto. She then goes into the ghetto in the name of Christ and is exposed to feral, hyper sexual afros, who see her, her beauty, her brightness, her availability, and they do get ideas, you know. I’ve worked with blacks, and all they think about and talk about is getting their hands on our White women. Rape isn’t rape- it’s reparations. But we will ignore that, because Christ forgives us equally. Nonetheless, I’m a Christian, but I haven’t become convinced that Jesus wants me to commit race suicide for his glory. Do Atheists really believe in Equality, or are they empiricists? Or are they Rationalists, who insist on conforming their world to abstract propositions like Equality? I get confused.)
On “Origins” was a Christian anatomists doing a good job of exposing the myth of the Scopes Trial. The ACLU used the trial to push evolution into our schools.
But wouldn’t the jew ACLU want Christians to believe in Adam and Eve, because then we are all truly brothers and sisters, regardless of race? Monogenesis removes the race argument for White girls not wanting to date blacks. But Evolution allows polygenesis, which gives White girls the reason not to mix with blacks, because we aren’t just a different race, we are a separate species. Maybe the jews just destroy whatever they can and have victories in all triumphs- if they can’t beat Christians, they can convert Christians into Israel supporters and race mixers- if they beat Christians, they can convince us that we owe no morality to Jesus, and that the only sins is racism, sexism, and homophobia, the atonement for which is through “atoning for the sins of segregation by holding ourselves accountable to people of color for our unearned White privilege, and doing more to bring Holocaust deniers to justice.”
But the Christian anatomist Ph.D. then made a fool of himself. He introduced “Civic Biology” by Hunter, a copy of which Scopes was holding in a photograph. White Humanity would like Hunter. We was a good eugenicist and a representative of that very righteous moral movement of the early 20th century. The Christian Ph.D. then quoted from the book: “The Races of Man- At the present time there exist upon the earth five races or varieties of man, each different from the other in instincts, social customs, and to an extent, in structure. . . . and finally, the highest type of all, the Caucasian, represented by the civilized white inhabitant of Europe and America.”
But the Ph.D. used the excerpt to prove how evil the evolutionists are. He got off on “racism,” and made the astonishing remark, “I know several evolutionists, and none of them are racists.”
How could they not be racists? If they believe in evolution science, then they cannot believe that all men are created equal. Where would they have ever found this equality in science? Everything they ever discovered in the proving of evolution would have discredited the proposition of universal equality. We know these evolutionists really don’t believe in biological equality, but they never let on that they know the truth, because they would be attacked as racists and suffer the Dr. Watson humiliation from the Diversity Curse. So they say the right things to the right people and keep quiet about the rest, and they suffer great psychic wounds because of it. Don’t we look forward to the posthumous publications of how they really think? Once those hit the Internet, you can be sure that Holder-Obama-SPLC-ACLU-NAACP Czars will press the kill switch for the Web.
In another series this past winter by the way, Frost predicted China’s population will become significantly Negro and no one will be able to do anything to stop it. The strange thing about Frost is he periodically goes out of his way to make statements showing he abhors “racism” yet here he was in that series clearly not exactly jumping for joy at what he considered China’s inevitable race-replacement via massive immigration from the Sub-Sahara. Frost may be conflicted in his own mind, sort of at an in-between stage not yet having consciously decided exactly where he stands on race and race-replacement so he straddles the issue.
(Sorry, the above note on Frost should have been posted as a “reply” to my comment below on Cavalli-Sforza.)
Doubtless many will react to the following with a yawn but I find it extremely interesting and encouraging: what is obviously an experienced lawyer or legal expert and extremely serious individual who knows exactly his business and what he is talking about and what his legal standing is, has three times petitioned the U.N. High Commissioner on Human Rights to investigate U.S. federal government genocide of the American Eurochristian community. In his impeccably thorough, expert, highly professional petition are all relevant aspects of the issue that get typically brought up at so-called “WN” blogs plus many additional ones. I’d love to see more people – lawyers, politicians, academics, private citizens, bloggers, businessmen – weigh in right behind him so as to back this man up in a growing outcry and demand that this be addressed by the U.N. and something be done about it, and I’d love to see the same petition submitted by citizens of all other Eurosphere countries (since the same genocide is underway in all of them without exception):
http://age-of-treason.blogspot.com/2010/09/terry-grahams-genocide-complaint-to-un.html .
To fully appreciate the completeness and impeccably professional quality of this man’s petition you have read the whole thing through. You won’t be disappointed or bored; quite the contrary in fact, you’ll feel profound satisfaction, even righteous exhilaration as you read.
The way the Jews went from a standing start well over a hundred years ago to where they are now, kings of the United States with the entire Eurosphere maneuvered onto the brink of racial extinction, was not by means of any one single tactic employed by any one group of Jews but an array of hundreds of tactics applied termitelike by tens of thousands of Jews in all walks of life, all tactics taking their toll together in one huge century-long tsunami that finally crested and broke over the U.S. in the Jewish revolt known as “The Sixties,” washing away everything in its path, leaving people staggering around stunned like citizens of Hiroshima in the aftermath of the atomic bomb, not having a clue what hit them. No, this single tactic will by itself accomplish naught but as part of the overall rising of our people just now beginning to get underway will certainly play a role. I for one love it and would rejoice at seeing a whole lot more of it and seeing a whole lot of people backing up those who do it – all kinds of people: important people, unimportant people, all kinds. Let’s start building our own tsunami for a change. And let it be ten times, a hundred times, a million times bigger than the one that caught us unawares and nearly wiped us out. Every individual wave we make helps build that giant tsunami. Just like the Jews did. We have masters teaching us – let’s show what good students we can be.
