The Naked Ape by Demond Morris is one of the most mind-opening books I have ever read in my entire life.
Let me tell you about this. I have a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Psychology (I also have a Bachelor's Degree in English). I studied very hard in those days, graduating with honors, rarely receiving anything less than an A grade in most of my classes.
And yet, I feel I have learned more about human nature from that one book by Desmond Morris (along with its sequel, The Human Zoo) than I did in all my years of formally studying psychology. Desmond Morris is a British zoologist (his father is Jewish, but I am still not sure about his mother) who writes like a novelist. I was reading those books as if they were some kind of who dunnit mystery novel, excitedly turning the pages, learning so much from him.
Getting back to the admittedly tiresome subject of Blacks, I really do have ambivalent feelings toward them. To this day, I do not know if I am a true racist or not. One thing for sure: because I am definitely NOT politically correct by any stretch of the imagination, our mainstream liberal culture of today would definitely label me a racist.
America is a wonderful country, arguably the best that has ever inhabited the Earth. Yet it has made many mistakes; I think its biggest mistake of all, was bringing Blacks over here. Had they come on their own accord, in much smaller amounts at a time, they would not be the white man's burden that they have turned out to be.
I have to say, that while I do believe that Blacks have the inherent ability to be just as civilized, positive contributors to society as do White people, that their behavior has generally left a lot to be desired. Just to give you one dramatic example of this, back in 1992 here in Los Angeles, some white policeman chased down a Black man named Rodney King who was clearly high on drugs. Because he not only made them chase after him but even resisted, they beat him with their batons pretty severely.
The policeman were brought up on charges, and I think that their case was heard in Simi Valley, which is a suburb of Los Angeles, a very safe, predominantly white neighborhood where a high percentage of policeman live. The jury found the policeman not guilty of all charges.
In response, Blacks and then other minority groups followed suit, in basically trashing the entire city of Los Angeles. Approximately 55 people were murdered, businesses were burned down, and there was rioting on the streets everywhere. People were even pulled from their trucks and cars, and beat up, just for having White skin.
I was outraged when I heard liberals justify what was done, as if it is somehow okay to destroy a city because of a questionable court decision. I have to contrast this with the case of Yankel Rosenblum.
Most of you know this, so this is for those who do not. The leader of the most well-known Chassidic movement in Judaism, a man known as the Lubavitcher Rebbe, or simply the Rebbe, had gone to visit his wife's grave in Crown Heights. On the ride back, his driver thought he could make a changing yellow light, and tried to ram through that intersection. Out of sheer carelessness, he hit a little Black boy riding a bicycle.
The Hatzalah, which is a voluntary group of Jews who help out emergency medical situations just like this one, were immediately called, but it was too late. The boy had died.
In response, Blacks not only started rioting in Crown Heights, but murdered a young Australian Jewish student who had happened to be walking not far from the scene. This student, Yankel Rosenblum, pointed to and identified his murderer right before he died, and the blood on the knife matched that of both Yankel and the murderer. Yet the murderer was found not guilty of any physical assault at all, only convicted for illegal weapons possession.
So how did the Jewish community react? I can tell you one thing: we did not proceed to trash Harlem or some other Black section of New York. We Jews are too busy building up society to have any desire to destroy it.
Meanwhile, Blacks engage in riots all the time in sub-saharan Africa, where nobody is enslaving them or dominating over them. Apparently, there is something in the Black psyche that makes them love to engage in the destruction of civilization. In that way, they do at least echo the behavior of the islamofascists.
For all the positive contributions that Blacks have made to American life, I have to be honest and say that if given a choice, I would have much rather they have never come here in the first place.
