One lie that racists will tell you is that they are not inciting hatred against minorities, they are just "criticizing" them - as if libeling an entire race of people simply for the colour of their skin, something over which they have no control, is equivalent to "critiquing" a person for his or her chosen political views. They will even attempt to masquarade as political dissidents and defenders of "free speech"; witness the libertarian posturing of Geert Wilders and Ezra Levant.
Notwithstanding their protests to the contrary, inciting violence against people because of their "race" is not protected by "freedom of speech" any more than libel, fraud, or shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre is protected by free speech. The whole purpose of racism is to pit the "races" against each other, to incite ethnic strife and disorder in our society, and to thwart class solidarity and international unity. In an enlightened community racists would be criminally prosecuted for inciting racial hatred and undermining worker solidarity, and, if found guilty, shot.
Now all of my remarks apply not only to the sort of racists who wear Nazi suits and white sheets; they apply equally to the academic racist who disguises himself in professional business suits and uses the language of pseudoscience and pseudostatistics. I have in mind, of course, such academic fascists as Charles Murray, Jared Taylor, Ian Jobling, James Watson, Arthur Jensen, Philippe Rushton, Hans Eysenck, etc.
We could easily debunk every word they have written, but we are not obliged to combat their venomous propaganda; and since deep down they know that we are in the right, and they are only attempting to rationalise their insane prejudices, combatting their preposterous “ideas” only serves to gratify our egos, which however does not respond to such flattery.
But this is just my own view. How do you think we should fight the New Racism in America and Europe?
