re: #66 Obdicut

I like the idiot on that thread you link to from your site who is a pure sort of racist. He thinks that Jews are smarter than Aryans, and that’s why the Aryans had to kill ‘em, you see.

What a bizarre view of humanity.

Intelligence is a weird area for many modern racists. It used to be easy for them—white men were smarter than brown men and black men and yellow men.

They’re still happy to claim to be smarter than, say, blacks and Latinos, but Jews and Asians screw the whole thing up by being financially successful (which is their real mark of success), in what they think should be a white man’s world.

There’s always been an ‘intelligent, but not too intelligent’ thing going on with white supremacists anyway. When Jews were called ‘clever’ it was never more than half a compliment, back in the old days. And your modern supremacist has to battle between a more old-fashioned ideal of himself as a strong warrior, and the more modern ideal of himself as a capable capitalist.

Some racists try to make it work by including Jews (at least assimilated Ashkenazim, and anyone else who looks basically white to them) and Asians as sufficiently white for government work, and fellow victims of affirmative action.

Others divide up the evil dark peoples into two groups, the dumb brutes and the sinisterly brilliant manipulators.
