Carleton Putnam, author of Race and Reason: A Yankee View giving a speech in Jackson Mississippi on 10/26/61 at a banquet held at the Olympic Room of the Heidelberg Hotel. In this speech Mr. Putnam addresses the following topics; timelessness of American ideals, integrity of the Jackson leadership and press, What is the Problem?, origins of equalitarianism [Franz Boas,Lysenkosim], persecution of legitimate scientists, UNESCO, race and environmentalist propaganda, the role of the church in the spread of equalitarian race doctrine, perverting Lincoln's words and ideas, northern indoctrination as "moral" crusade, integrity of civilisation, not states rights must be the defence for racial problems and leftist "change" [prophetic!]
Tangentially related: Several episodes of the 1950s television show "What in the World?", featuring Carleton Coon and other experts (inluding, in one instance, a surprisingly knowledgeable Vincent Price) attempting to place archaeological and ethnological artifacts, are now up on youtube (via Dienekes).

ReplyDeleteCivilizational arguments are certainly better than legalistic arguments but I don't think they would have fared a great deal better. A racially explicit argument is required that can both motivate listeners and seem fair to racial others. This is for the simple pragmatic reason that people hate change and whatever seems to require too much change is reflexively resisted, and unfairness to racial others -- like 'cleansing' areas of them -- strikes people as requiring drastic change. (Imo, this goes quite some way to explaining people's resistance to accepting the extent of jewish perfidy: if the charges are true, too much of society is based on utter bullshit and thus the effort that would be required to change it is demotivating; much easier to believe it's "not true.")

ReplyDeleteWhile I'd love to see your project succeed, I don't see any reason to believe "racial others" are interested in or satisfied with "fairness".
