The extreme underrepresentation of blacks is strong evidence that blacks do NOT benefit from affirmative action
ReplyDeleteOf course blacks benefit from affirmative action, it's just that it is impossible to be an affirmative action billionaire. To get to that level you have to be able to competently provide some form of service. You can elevate plenty of blacks up the corporate or governmental bureaucracy, but you can't make black people successful entrepreneurs, that is for the markets to decide.
ReplyDeleteYou can elevate plenty of blacks up the corporate or governmental bureaucracy, but you can't make black people successful entrepreneurs, that is for the markets to decide.
ReplyDeleteBlacks are not sufficiently incompetent to explain a fifty fold under-representation among billionaires.
I'm not sure what year this was, but there are/were at least seven high school dropouts on the Forbes 400:
http://www.504experts.com/news/mercantile-news/inspiration-from-the-400-wealthiest-americans-part-1-of-2
High school dropouts are probably very similar to blacks in IQ, yet the former are far more represented on the Forbes 400, despite the fact that they lack the most basic job credential. This suggests that whatever advantage blacks get from affirmative action is dwarfed by the advantage whites get from white privilege.
I also think the wealth of a race is a function of IQ + ethnocentrism. Unlike other races, blacks don't help each-other, but rather jealousy try to tear each-other down, and thus have less stable families and more black on black crime. Jews are the opposite and thus are dramatically overrepresented in wealth.
There's an old saying: "Behind every great fortune is a great crime"
ReplyDeleteAnd yet if this were the case one would expect blacks (with their higher crime rate) to be overrepresented on the Forbes 400 or at least not so severely underrepresented. Conclusion: The rich are not only cognitively superior, but morally superior too. Making money requires good ethics.

ReplyDeleteThis site will clarify what makes billionaires.
Hint: It is not "white privilege".
Someone tell Kevin Macdonald this. He thinks Jews are collectively running America and the world's billionaires.
ReplyDeleteDropping out of HS or college is no indication of lack of IQ.
ReplyDeleteAlso, what you call "white privilege" is actually {Genetic Privilege}. Its the same genetic privilege that gives us other successful minority groups like
Jews, Asians & East Indians.
"Blacks are not sufficiently incompetent to explain a fifty fold under-representation among billionaires."
ReplyDeleteBlacks aren't that incompetent but African institutions are that dysfunctional. For whatever reason they've had the hardest time imitating Western institutions.
Jewish institutions are freakishly successful, which was noticed even 200 years ago by the Founders.
Charles Ergen is not Jewish.
ReplyDelete"Ergen was born into an Episcopalian family[9] in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, on March 1, 1953,[7][8] the fourth of five children born to Viola (née Siebenthal) and William Krasny Ergen.[10][11] His mother was one of the first female accountants in the state of Minnesota[9] and his father was an Austrian immigrant who was working in Sweden as a nuclear physicist who left Europe prior to World War II as part of the continental brain drain.[10]"
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Ergen
I'm pretty sure Ergen is of at least partial Jewish ancestry.
An online tree, which I've not tried to confirm but which does include sources, shows William Krasny Ergen as the son of "Dr. Arnold (Official and Economist) Krasny or von Krasny-Ergen" (born in Bohemia and died in Vienna) who is the son of "Moritz (Joiner-shopkeeper-wood merchant-Prerov) Krasny or Krasner" who is the son of "Aron Krasny or Krasner".
1) The vast majority have partial jewish ancestry just as the vast majority of jews have partial european ancestry.
ReplyDelete2) Not all rich Americans with roots from Germany/Austria/Eastern Europe are Jewish.
If he was born into an Episcopalian family, he was born into an Episcopalian family. Episcopalians have just as much if not more power and wealth than jews in the USA.
Also, Reid Hoffman is probably not Jewish either. I think you should look into your German sounding names a little more.
ReplyDelete"1) The vast majority have partial jewish ancestry"
ReplyDeleteNo.
"just as the vast majority of jews have partial european ancestry."
Most of the European admixture in Ashkenazi Jews dates back over 1000 years. The ancestors of AJs subsequently married overwhelmingly among themselves. AJs represent a genetically distinct group, and AJ DNA is easily distinguished as such, regardless of whether the segment in question was originally European or originally Middle Eastern.
"If he was born into an Episcopalian family,"
This is not a list of what religion someone was raised in. It concerns ethnic/genetic ancestry.
"Episcopalians have just as much if not more power and wealth than jews in the USA."
No.
"I think you should look into your German sounding names a little more."
If you think "Aron Krasny/Krasner" is a "German sounding name", I think you should defer to people who know more than you and who are better at pattern recognition.
A couple minutes of research confirms that my judgment is correct. Here is the sister of Charles Ergen's grandfather in "The Central Database of Shoah Victims' Names" ("The Database includes data regarding Jews who were victims of persecution during the Holocaust period"):
Helene Kugel nee Krasny was born in Prerau, Czechoslovakia in 1882 to Moritz and Yulia. She was married Hans. Prior to WWII she lived in Wien, Austria. During the war she was in Wien, Austria.
Helene was murdered in the Shoah.
This information is based on a Page of Testimony (displayed on left) submitted by her daughter.

Reid Hoffman is not listed as Jewish based on his surname, but based on the fact that I believe his mother is likely part Jewish.
Ok, so it's only about ancestral origin. At what point is the cutoff, then? Most autosomal tests I've seen for white Americans have a small fraction of Ashkenazi ancestry. Arguing that 1/4th Jewish ancestry makes someone ancestrally Jewish doesn't really make any sense to me. Moreover, if your main thesis is that Jewish success is genetic, then such a small fraction of ancestry doesn't likely contribute to that. One-drop rules are ridiculous. I have a nephew that's a quarter black, but you couldn't tell by way of skin or hair.
ReplyDeleteAlso, point of fact: most Jews marry non-Jews. My fiancée is half Jewish and most Jews I meet are half-Jewish. I think this has been true for a few decades. I think the latest stat is 58% of Jews marry non-Jews in the US.
In Israel, Ashkenazis mix with Sephardics and Mizrahis, and we are already witnessing a collapse in their IQ.
Another point of fact about Episcopalians that makes me say they have just as much power as Jews in the US, if not more, is simply by looking at their representation in Congress. According to them, a full 10% is Episcopalian, while Jews make up 6%. Granted, Jews are very overrepresented in the Supreme Court, but don't control it as a unit (the swing vote is John Roberts, who is Catholic) so that's irrelevant, and they do make up 10% of millionaires and half of the media is run by them, so I think it all rounds out about the same as Episcopalians, given that they are all over the higher echelons of the military, banks, natural resources and manufacturing. I have also seen studies that show they have higher IQs than Ashkenazi anyway, and despite being smaller in terms of numbers, still beat them in many places.
Anyway, I'm not buying your list. It's like saying Murdoch is a Jew. Goodday.
My bad, Episcopalians only make up 7% of congress. Still bigger than Jews, but off by a significant amount.
ReplyDelete"Most autosomal tests I've seen for white Americans have a small fraction of Ashkenazi ancestry."
ReplyDeleteAgain, this is simply false. Nothing like "most" white Americans show any trace of Ashkenazi ancestry.
"At what point is the cutoff, then?"
Most of the people on the list are 100% Ashkenazi. A minority are half Jewish. A smaller minority are 1/4 Jewish. And a handful (if any, once I remove the three people mentioned in the other thread) have less than 1/4 Jewish ancestry.
"Arguing that 1/4th Jewish ancestry makes someone ancestrally Jewish doesn't really make any sense to me. Moreover, if your main thesis is that Jewish success is genetic, then such a small fraction of ancestry doesn't likely contribute to that."
That's not my "main thesis".
"Episcopalians, given that they are all over the higher echelons of the military, banks, natural resources and manufacturing"
You're off by about a century. This is not 1900, or even 1950.
In 1997, Episcopalians made up 8% of a sample of CEOs of large companies (versus 22% for Jews). I expect the Episcopalian number would if anything be lower today. Also note that the Episcopalians of 1997 are not the Episcopalians of 1917 (see example of Charles Ergen above). Jews and Episcopalians are not like categories. Jews represent a distinct ethnic group. Episcopalianism is a religious denomination, adherents of which have been subject to continual turnover in America.
"Also, point of fact: most Jews marry non-Jews."
The extent of Jewish intermarriage has often been exaggerated, and intermarriage certainly did not become common until quite recently. Note also that half-Jews tend to identify as Jews much more often (and much more strongly) than they identify with their European side.
"Anyway, I'm not buying your list. It's like saying Murdoch is a Jew. Goodday."
Again, post actual errors if you find any more. I don't really give a fuck about your opinion.
I'm fairly certain that Daniel D'Aniello is Jewish. A few cursory internet searches show that "D'Aniello" is a common Jewish surname. In fact, I suspect that it might be exclusively Jewish.
ReplyDeleteThe British,Swiss etc..*NorthWestern of Europe(no France and Germany sorry !) are the best and smarter and the richest in this list.
