Hi FDR friends, Please review my thread on twitter about DeAndre Harris. https://twitter.com/hellotonycrowe/status/917839937151447040 I posted evidence of him clubbing a man over the head and starting the brawl with his friends. There is a controversy because the police may or may not have a warrant out for DeAndre. I fear they may riot if it goes through. If you think my post(s) are accurate please retweet and maybe we can prevent another race-bating hoax. THANK YOU -Tony C.

I wanted to thank and congratulate Stefan Molyneaux for his dogged investigation of the career killing topic: Race, Sex and IQ. I think he has finally proposed a hypothesis that is worth researching and is provable and scientific. The hypothesis I see as valid is: (1) There are differences in mean IQ by race and gender. (2) owing to the shape of the normal distribution, the proportion of people occupying a given interval of IQ scores will vary with distance from mean. (example: the interval of IQ 100-115 contains 34% of people but the interval of 130-145 contains 2% of people) (3) TO BE PROVEN: When dealing with the middle 68% of individuals (+/- 1 std, the people you most often interact with) there is less confidence that racial/sex differences in IQ will be observed owing to variations in and between groups. (This can be shown with a power calculation) (4) MOLYNEAUX'S INSIGHT: For an equal size IQ interval on the tails of a normal distribution, the confidence about IQ increases nonlinearly. SO given some prior knowledge, (e.g. that a person has an IQ>115, i.e. a so called 'elite') once can be more confident of observing bias in race/sex proportions. At the very least statistical tests can be done to prove that one needs a larger sample of people from IQ[85,115] interval to be confident of a race/sex difference than one would need from an IQ[130,160] interval. It needs some clean up but it seems like a good paper if it hasnt already been published. If the work has been done I would be interested in a citation.

It was proposed to me through literature that society is a racial construct rather than race being a societal construct. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I have listened to Stefan on the podcast there have been many guests who point at data that shows very compelling evidence at the very least for for bio-diversity among the races. If there is significant Bio-Diversity would that not imply the State to be a Racial Construct even if only to varying degrees? I am in great desire to see what others think. Thank you Stefan for this platform and if you write anything then Thank You In Advance. To all else who post responses thank you in advance as well. Thank all who help me shed some light on these thoughts.

With the ascension of Donald Trump, there also arose a new right-wing movement. This movement was the equal and opposite reaction not just to the culture of hysterical verbal abuse from the left that has descended like a storm from hell upon any attempts at rational discourse, but also to the left’s treacherous enablers within the mainstream conservative movement that would rather virtue signal their ideological purity than actually conserve our freedoms. This group, which championed Western civilization and sought to preserve its most precious treasures from the rapid advancement of corrosive leftist ideals, quickly became an alternative to the spineless Republican establishment’s brand of in-name-only “conservatism” that has been exemplified by the likes of globalist cronies such as the Bushes and Paul Ryan. Realizing the real threat this movement posed to their chances of winning the 2016 election once Donald Trump secured the Republican nomination, the Clinton Campaign quickly came up with a new strategy to besmirch their opponents. This strategy was to cojoin the Trump movement with a separate group called the Alt-right due the the Alt-right’s inclination towards exploring controversial topics. Ever since, there has been a misconception that the Alt-right is the new-right movement that’s emerged as an alternative to the Republican/cuckservative establishment. These are the Milos, Paul Joseph Watsons, Gavin Mclnnes’, and the Lauren Southerns of the alternative media. These people champion nationalism over globalism and promote western values like free speech, while understanding the threat that massive third world immigration, particularly from Islamic countries, poses to the existence of these values. And while there are many areas of overlap between the New-Right and Alt-right, there are a few crucial distinctions. The purpose of this piece is to highlight these key distinctions and share material for those who are interested in taking a journey through taboo. Race First and foremost is the issue of race. The Alt-right recognizes that race is a reality and a very important one. The Alt-right at its core is about promoting racial consciousness among Europeans. They are unabashedly pro-white (not to be confused with white-supremacism, which advocates for domination over groups deemed inferior.) Whatever issues those within the Alt-right disagree about, this is the issue that unites them. The New-right, while they are quick to point out anti-white racism and see the reality of racial differences, do not advocate for white’s issues. They see western civilization as the result of certain values. On the other hand, the Alt-right would explicitly say that there are differences between the races and thus, different races build different civilizations. Furthermore, there’s no reason to think non-whites can maintain civilizations built by whites. This is an unavoidable issue for the Alt-right. The Jewish Question Given how explosive this topic is, it’s no wonder why the Hillary campaign wanted to associate the Trump movement with a group that flirts with such a taboo even though there isn’t unanimous agreement among those within the Alt-right about the importance of this subject. Western society has gone through a rapid decline throughout the past hundred years. Any analysis that seeks to understand why we are in the mess we’re in has to take a number of variables into consideration. The Alt-right, as a group that is concerned about the advancement of white’s interests and the protection of their heritage, is very concerned with figuring out white’s missteps which have contributed to this decline. At the same time, the Alt-right rejects historical narratives devoid of any nuance which are designed to provoke white guilt. So, just as it is important to understand the role Europeans have played in the societal decline we are witnessing today, it is equally important to understand the role Jews have played. Thus, the Jewish question is not a single question, but rather an umbrella term which covers a wide-ranging debate about the positive and negative aspects which Jewish influence has had on the Western world. WW2 Revisionism World War 2 was one of the most horrific events ever to occur in human history. It’s estimated that over 60 million people, mostly European, died as a result of this catastrophe. Because of the profound and permanent impact this war has had, it is critical to understand what really happened and why. What makes the Alt-right different from the Alt-light in this respect is what exactly they are willing to question. Like many significant historical events, WW2 is shrouded in propaganda. Details and nuances are left out of the versions of this event that most people are taught about in government schools throughout the world. It is in fact illegal in many countries to question certain details of the official narratives of the Second World War. Truth does not fear investigation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5zr0LcAtbA Post Script: The videos shared here do not necessarily represent my views as this material is new to me and so I'm still in the studying phase. So, I'm not interested in having long debates on the message board with people who might disagree with something in the content videos shared.

I think that Stefan should do a movie review on the documentary 13th to clarify what BLM really stands for. In previous videos he has discussed Nixon and people within his administration admitting to destroying the black community with racist "tough on crime" rhetoric. I think it would really help to clear the air on this whole "BLM is completely racist" narrative being spread around. Of course I don't hold you to this just a suggestion and feedback. I also cannot force anyone who reads this post to critically analyze the documentary without all of the prejudice and bigotry that most have regarding BLM. I just want it to be abundantly clear that I believe racism in all of its forms is completely disgusting and regressive. I am an anti-racist which means I do NOT condone what happened in Chicago before anybody jumps to that conclusion. That is exactly the same type of bigotry and prejudice that the radial fringe of BLM associates with Whites. I want a world where no innocent civilians get caught in the crossfire and targeted by radical extremists in both BLM and in the Alt-Right. It is irrelevant whether the victims are Black or White or any skin color for that matter. Lets just stop the irrational hate. Is that really so much to ask for?

A recent audit of the Baltimore Police Department (https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3009376/BPD-Findings-Report-FINAL.pdf) concluded "intentional discrimination" by the police. This has been a big point of anger for the Black Lives Matter movement and social justice warriors of all kinds, groups which generally clash with libertarians, especially the more conservative. Should police keep to ideals and not stray to pragmatism in the name of order? If a group of people is committing disproportionate amounts of crime, is it legitimate to target that group disproportionally? Is this a sign of things getting worse or better?

It would be fascinating to hear Stef's take on this fascinating article. Many people are aware that this happened but the sheer scale of it is eye-opening and places an important question mark over the mainstream "American slavery" narrative: Irish: The Forgotten White Slaves

This is worth watching for Dr. Rushton (a former FDR guest) single-handedly taking on a panel of PC sociologists on topic of race and intelligence. There's also some interesting counterarguments put forward by Dr. Graves regarding R/K selection theory.

Definitely worth watching as I am reminded of Stef's approach to these issues

Here is Stephan's viddeo: I tried to mark every point of controversy that I had. @1:20 - For a better argument, look at what Thomas Sowell said several decades ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul0q35mrHh8 @8:00 - they deleted the racist insults because all reputable news organizations delete inflammatory, unsubstantive, racist insults from their comment sections. They want to encourage people to visit their news articles, give meaningful analysis, and have constructive discussions on their website. Every reputable news organization wants this. It sounds like they deleted his post because it was unsubstantive, angry, racist, venting. There's nothing wrong with deleting such posts. @9:25 - Stefan claims, from the fact that Bryce Williams was black, homosexual, and raised as a Jehovah's witness, that there was conflict in his upbringing. I agree that there are tendencies, but just because there are tendencies doesn't guarantee force, violence, judgement, or a negative disposition toward contrary or competing points of view. You can never just assume that a person is aggressive towards something without some form of substantive proof. @18:00 - Why do black people tend to make different choices than white people? Is it cultural? What influenced the culture to such an extent that it yields such vast differences between blacks and whites? Saying that black people are responsible for their choices doesn't shed any light on the differences between what influences the choices of blacks as opposed whites. This sounds like a debate between free-will and determinism, but it's more than that. It's about basic human needs, and emotional reactions to fear and trauma. My suggestion is that Stefan needs to avoid the topic of black free-will, and push the topic of eliminating authoritative domination within black society. At this point in time, all that black children typically know is authority and dominance. Authority and dominance as a solution are endorsed by Republicans and Democrats alike. That is the epitome of the problem and why, not only has it not been solved, but the problem has been exacerbated. @19:45 - If you're not interested in nitpicking the delivery of a valid arguments, then skip this section. Ignore it as most ration people should! That being said, I'd suggest that Stefan make these videos, and edit them with hard-cuts, and say, literally the same words you spoke, but with a lower tone of voice. A higher pitched tone makes it more of a joke, more of a ridiculous exclamation, and less of an honest criticism. This might seem to many as unworthy criticism, but look at Pat Condell, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQjTLGgQV2w) for example. Take note of other successful, politically controversial, personalities. @28:04 - This is absolutely correct, Stefan. What Stefan says here is the truth, and it's blatantly obvious to anybody who isn't indoctrinated or inculcated, which ever term is less offensive to you, into the ideal of white privilege, black disadvantage, the alleged fact that inequitable outcomes are automatic proof of inequitable treatment, and the unjustified recognition that egalitarianism is the indisputably highest good. It is unfortunate that Stefan provides no evidence, and even more regrettably no arguments, for this conclusion. The fact that the left uses evidence, a.k.a. empiricism, to convince people to support ideals that are, in fact unrelated, shows a huge disregard for RATIONALISM. This is a very prevalent topic in philosophical academia - British Empiricism vs. Continental Rationalism. The rest of society, unfortunately, is totally ignorant to this conflict that exist in academia. Needless to say, due to an over-reliance on science, and the general population's justified respect for its merits, continental rationalism has been unduly neglected as a result. This is a huge problem for society, and it is my honest opinion that Stefan, with his massive audience, should push the value of rationalism in relation to empiricism. The left tries to push an agenda that, by being white, it is a privileged to live in a society where small businesses can, e.g. deliver pizza after the streetlights come on, without their delivery drivers being mugged, beaten to the point of having to go to the emergency room, and having all of their earnings stolen. The party-line is that this is white privilege. White people, and businesses that cater to white communities, do not have to worry about what happens after dark. This is a fact. But No!!! White children are inculcated into the understanding that they have no interest in blackmailing small businesses into exchanging protection money for the absence of violent attacks toward their employees when the cops can't feasibly enforce the laws. This is not the case in black communities, where children are taught from birth that you either take or be taken from. You're required to do what you can to get ahead otherwise someone else will lie, steal, and cheat in order to get ahead of you. That is what a very young, impressionable, black child learns from a very early age. It is important to espouse this truth, Stefan. Hey, Stefan! Say that this is the difference between black and white society. That is the difference. It truly is. I teach these kids, every day, in the classroom. This is the greatest difference between black culture and white culture. @31:10 - Stefan is exactly correct here. Elinor Ostram is a great source for proving ample evidence that Stefan is absolutely, without question, undeniably correct. If you were to listen to what Stefan was saying without the background knowledge that I have, then there would be no way of knowing that Stefan was correct, which is why Stefan isn't convincing as many liberals, progressives, and socially-fixated people as he otherwise could have. I really want people to understand that, although you may agree with Stefan, it is because, based on your past history, you are predisposed to agree with the stuff that Stefan is saying. I am not. I was raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, as a liberal. I was raised as a progressive who hated conservatism, who said the constitution, as a document that was expertly designed to be altered as society changed, and believed that if we were only able to convince white people that blacks were raised in an environment totally foreign to what we, white people, were accustomed to, then all of the conservative whites would finally understand how the constitution was meant to be amended to benefit the lowest rung of society. Here's what Elinor Ostram had to say on the subject. She won a Nobel Prize based exclusive on this article: http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/economic-sciences/laureates/2009/ostrom_lecture.pdf. 31:20 - I'm nitpicking, but Stefan said Asians are best equipped to solve problems in the Asian community. White people are best equipped to solve problems in the white community. Even though Stefan didn't say it, Hispanics are, in fact, best equipped to solve problems in the Hispanic community (which may be why Donald Trump is currently winning the Hispanic vote - among Democrats and Republicans). Elinor Ostrom proved this point... but Stefan was not confident enough to say what I am about to say. Stefan... was not... confident... enough to say... what I am about to say. BLACKS ARE BEST EQUIPPED TO SOLVE PROBLEMS IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY! That is to say, without the help of the federal government. When you hear that "Black lives matter!", those are people who are demanding the federal government should manage the black community. These people are idiots. Black people need to manage their own communities on a local level. The very idea that the commander in chief, the president of The United States, can do ANYTHING to help a local community of black people is utterly retarded. IT IS RETARDED! The president has no power over these small communities. It's utter insanity and total ignorance. @32:00 But there are still ridiculous problems with Stefan's message, and it pains me to even have to point this out. Blacks, in America, are exclusively the product of slavery. Literally 99.9% of the entire African-American population is here because of slavery, and at this point in the video, Stefan consciously tries to argue that, during world war 2, the Japanese internment was worse than 200 years of slavery in addition to a perpetual fight for black equality, through the Jim Crow era, until modern times. He later argues that the Jewish discrimination is worse than what black ancestors underwent over a period of 200 years. Yes, I agree that the internment of Japanese-Americans was awful, ridiculous, and unconscionable. I mean, as an American, we literally took every Japanese person, at the point of a gun, and forced them to relocate to a very large cage. As an age twenty-something, I have to say... What-in-the-actual... I agree that what the Germans did to Jews was unbelievably idiotic. The Germans literally took Jews from their homes, their families and their neighbors/friends, stuffed them into cargo trains, and then funneled them into death chambers. What... in the actual... fuck. People in the past were clearly mentally retarded. That is the most absurd, irrational, insanity I've ever heard of. All of what I've just talked about is totally retarded. These people were fucking morons. But think about being forced to work in a field, picking cotton. Think about separating cotton from the seed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXp-O6SIeyg). This is what "the house slaves" did all day, every day. They didn't do it voluntarily. They didn't do it because they thought it was expected of them, culturally. They did it endlessly, until they thought their arms would fall off, because if they didn't their skin would be whipped until they bled to the point of no return. ... ... ...and this was the "house slaves," who drastically had it easier than "the field slaves," for over 200 years. Yeah, from birth until death. And their children did this from birth until death. And their children's children did this from birth until death. They did this because if they didn't, they would be tortured relentlessly, forever. The field slaves had it one-hundred times worse! Stefan, and everybody listening to him, needs to recognize how insanely cruel slavery was. Does it have an individual impact on the culture of modern times? Honestly... not even close. There is no person alive that has ever come close to experiencing the cruelty of American slavery... and it should really make you question that whole confederate flag controversy that people are so eager to voice their opinion about. Fuck the confederate flag!!! What in the actual!! But I digress... Honestly speaking, slavery was unconscionable bullshit that nobody should even come close to making appear to being negligible. That being said, it is currently 2015. Nobody should be interested in dwelling on the horrific and undeniably cruel distant past. Nobody alive today ever experienced the absolute insanity that was the slave era. BUT IT IS STILL IMPORTANT, FOR ALL INVOLVED, TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT WAS TOTALLY INSANE! IT WAS PSYCHOPATHIC!!! Why I bring this up, is that in no way should Stefan say that he'd rather be a Japanese-American in an internment camp, which was ridiculous, over being an African-American slave in a cotton field, which was obviously worse by several orders of magnitude. To say otherwise is unbelievably retarded. It is...I'm at a loss for words... idiotic. The Japanese-Americans who grew up in internment camps were able to make a decent living and cultivate a moral and virtuous family, with children who attended college, and contributed to society. Black slaves in cotton fields were doomed to perpetual slavery with no hope of freedom, let alone prosperity, and were inculcated in what they were told... that they were inferior, worthless, negligible, and nothing more than a means to an end. That was their entire life, from birth until death. These are the facts. This is what every person should know. There is a huge difference between Japanese internment and African-American enslavement. Stefan acknowledged that there were injustices, but refused to disseminate between the injustices against the Japanese and the injustices against African slaves. The two are not even remotely comparable, and Stefan should know better. In fact, I refuse to believe that he doesn't know better. He is willingly lying to you! @ 33:55 - Stefan retracts everything he previously said in order to cover his tracks, like a lawyer who makes all kinds of impermissible statements in court, fully knowing it's not permissible in court but says it anyway to influence the jury despite the fact that what he said was completely impermissible in a court of law. Later, he cites that blacks who immigrate from Africa are more successful than the blacks who are the offspring of proliferated slaves. Stefan says this as if it supports his view that racism is dead in modern America. On the contrary, the fact that the prodigy of slavery is drastically worse off than African immigrants drastically proves that 200 years of perpetual slavery is the cause of all of the problems in the black community!!! Think about it. You are black. You immigrated from Africa, e.g. Uganda, where English is your second language and you are brand new in a society no where close to anything you have experience before, yet you are blatantly better-off than blacks who were born in the United States of America. What... in the actual... fuck! Why? Why are blacks born in a 3rd world country, who don't even speak English, better-off than black people who were born as American citizens, in America?! That's a problem! Right?! Am I wrong for saying that? Yes or no?! Don't answer yet. I don't want you to form any opinion based exclusively off what Stefan or I have said thus far. This topic requires a great deal of insight and research. What Stefan is getting at is that a lot of black people blame unadulterated racism, not only perpetuating from law enforcement officers, but from the overall society as a whole, as the primary cause of the problems in black culture. In my view, this is an oversimplification of the black experience. It is not at all accurate of what is actually, in reality, going on in black culture. Black people tend to not believe that they hold value in their society, white society, or otherwise. The majority believe that they can escape poverty through music, movies, or athletics. I would like to emphasize the latter because this is ultimately what they believe. That is a problem. This is the stigma that affirmative action is attempting to overcome. Progressives want inner-city blacks to recognize the obstructions that their particular circumstances yield. Progressives want to hide from inner-city blacks all of the avenues toward overcoming those obstructions. That's the overwhelming problem. Progressives benefit from a perpetual underclass that blames the opposing party for their downfall. That is their voting bass. My essential argument is that Stefan leaves too much for the opposition to find fault with, and provides no reason for anyone to alter their predisposition. Stefan has claimed, in the past, that reason cannot work for altering people's frame of mind. i would argue that Stefan has yet to even try. @35:15 - yes, 4-5% of white people owned slaves in the south, a long-ass time ago. It really doesn't matter. 10% of Germans were Nazis. Okay... Again, it doesn't matter. What matters is how long that particular prodigy was dominated as slaves. What matters... is how long... that particular prodigy... was subject.. to an illegitimate authority... at threat of unimaginable physical pain and death. That is all that matters. Nothing else matters. Of all the things that you think that matter, nothing else comes close to mattering. Nothing, on this planet, matters more. I honestly don't know how to phrase it any more clearly, but nothing in existence matters more than this single solitary thing. That's how much it matters. Okay, I'm just going to throw this last criticism out there. Please read on. Please al least finish reading until the CONCLUSION. Stefan should link to the appropriate source within the video as he makes his assertions. A list of sources at the end is almost entirely useless to the average consumer. I noticed one of his "sources" is buzzfeed. Uh... what in the actual fuck is that? Buzzfeed is a worse source than a tabloid. Another is Pewforum. A forum? Uh... bad. For one of his links, the article title is, "Jehovah’s Witnesses boss: Don’t wear tight trousers, they’re designed by homosexuals". Another article Stefan linked to was, "Black Pastors' Group Urges Civil Disobedience Against Gay Marriage Ruling." I'm sorry but there was literally no relevance here. In what way are these sources relevant to anything in the video? Maybe there is some relevance, but it certainly isn't intuitively obvious to me, and since there is no indication within the video that any source is used for any of his assertions, specifically, I have no idea where Stefan's info is coming from... ... Just saying! @8:40 (in reference to when I said, "Just saying!") - Don't make rash judgments about people's colloquial habits. It's just ad hominem bullshit. However, ad hominem is, in fact, a universal flag of douche-baggery. Some final thoughts I didn't address already: Stefan, you barely touched the concept of red-lining. But fine. I actually understand this concept and red-lining was a RACIST practice that actually yielded better loaning practices that what were previously used. Yes, RACIST, UTTERLY RACIST, TOTALLY RACIST, RACIST, RACIST policies yielded financially responsible lending practices. Those practices, which saves banks millions of dollars in failed lending opportunities, was deemed racist by politicians and made illegal. This practice is called red-lining. I know what red-lining is. A bunch of households failed to pay their mortgages in a specific area and the banks said, fuck all of the people in this area, we're not loaning money to ANY of them. Certain Democrats were able to show circumstantial data which showed that these geographical regions that banks were targeting happened to be, in large part, populated by black people. It was, at most, a coincidence. But since democratic politicians showed that most people who defaulted on their mortgages were black, it was enough to convince people that it was racist. That is what red-lining is. Red-lining has always been a geographical predisposition to defaulting on mortgages. This is abundantly clear based on several mortgage bankers who, literally, give zero fucks about the melanin in your skin. They just want to have a return on all of their investments that they can report to their superiors. That's what people need to understand, republicans and democrats alike. Nobody gives a fuck about all of this bullshit. People just want to make money and show statistical profits to their bosses, i.e. show that they are valuable to the company. Holy shit. Nobody in the banking industry gives a flying fuck if you're black. They just want to show a profit and that is entirely, ENTIRELY, determined on your credit score, which they input into compute software, which spits out a number that tells them what to do. I know. I'm actually deeply involved in this industry. The most racist banker cannot decline your loan request. It's solely based on software that maximizes the companies profits. There is literally zero individual, subjective, evaluation.

The Truth About the Race War was great. A lot of fascinating historical examples of conspiring to pit people against each other using race as fuel. Toward the end I was like, "...this is a great conspiracy." Has Stefan ever mentioned anything about his take on any other conspiracies specifically?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_PEBsEyYHQ I just came across this video from another forum. After seeing it, I felt extreme anger and despair after hearing some interviewees actually calling it "just a game."Apparently, the "knockout game" has been ongoing, and reportedly, people have been killed as a result if not traumatically injured. I'm sure racial issues will get stirred up to complicate the whole thing, but most likely this will just become another excuse to up the police presence and give them more reason to fight violence with prison violence.
