I’ve found a paradox about HBD’ers. First off they really hate blacks. Take a guy like Jew Among You. I’ve read some of his stuff. I can tell this guy can’t stand blacks at the visceral level. They will say that the reason for crime and pathology is because blacks are less evolved. They will justify their hatred of blacks by their behavior.
It only makes sense to hate blacks for their behavior if you think it’s caused by choice. On one hand, they will claim that crime is part of “black nature” no matter blacks reside. Well if this is an inborn trait, then what sense does it make to hate them? Nobody hates sharks for attacking surfers. That’s just what they do, they’re sharks. There’s no shark hate movement based around shark violence. So if it’s inborn, then you must drop the hatred. Hatred is only justified when these traits aren’t inborn but are willfully chosen, in which case that undermines the HBD argument about black nature.
This is exactly how I feel.
I will tell you something else. The liberal explanation for Black behavior is rather insulting. In roundabout way, it seems to be saying that Black people are just like me and my White family except they have Black skin. Other than that, they are just like White people in any important way. Now you have to explain all this pathology, crime, bad behavior.
The liberals say that Blacks are poor, helpless swaddling babes who apparently completely lack agency! Black people simply are not capable of making choices about much of anything. They are weather vanes that are spun around this way and that by forces completely outside their control. Something mysterious is actually forcing them to act bad. To act bad against their will, I would assume.
I don’t believe racism makes or forces anyone to do much of anything. And if someone told me I had no sense of agency, I would be angry. I am not a marionette. I am a human. Most things I do are by choice, and sometimes I am sad to say that because it’s embarrassing.
Now we have to say that Blacks do have a sense of agency and they are not puppets who are manipuated against their will by mysterious vapor-like essences like “structural racism” that apparently cannot even be seen or described (I guess structural racism is like subatomic particles, with the only difference being that those particles actually exist). And what sorry conclusion does this lead us to?
We would then have to conclude that Black people are engaging in all of this pathology, devastation, destruction, crime and violence out of their own free will. They are simply choosing to act like complete scumbags. They could choose to act like you or me anytime they want to, but they just feel like being bastards, maybe because it’s fun or perhaps they are wicked and simply don’t care about others.
Now if Blacks were doing all of this out of their own freely chosen will, just to be jackasses, I would hate them. And they would deserve to be hated. And I would keep on hating them until they knocked it off. If you can change your behavior but won’t, you have no one to blame but yourself.
But honestly, I do feel that the poor dears can’t really help a lot of their behaviors, and they seem to be driven towards this behavior biologically. Not that it is destiny, but Mother Nature is probably behind more of this bad behavior than you think. And if that’s the case, and I suspect it is, then I refuse to hate Blacks. I will not hate a group of people for behaviors that can’t really be helped and are maybe not even really their fault.
The HBD’ers and all White racists want to have their cake and eat it too. They all say Blacks are biologically driven to these ends, but then they hate the Blacks for fulfilling their God-given destiny. That’s like screaming at a guy in a wheelchair to get up and walk and then throwing his chair down in the gutter and smashing it and yelling at the guy to walk home. It is so wrong I cannot put it into words. It is flat out immoral and if you feel that way, shame on you.
