best books for/against racism

politics not allowed

want : intelligent arguments from fields of metaethics, psychology, neurosciences, no-homo-sociology
do not want: pathos, political rhetoric of any kind, blind acceptance of current year yolo values

kant and socratos were racist against niggers despite strong nigger cultures at the time.

(antisemitism not interesting too much memetic influence imo)

I want the truth!

That's a completely different study of course. It looks like a more compelling study than whatever went into >>8432279, and it makes exactly the opposite conclusion:

Each of the boxes represent nationalities. Each color represents a different geographic genetic marker.

The point, and very relevant to OP, is that there is no concensus definition of race. What is considered black in the United States would be thought of differently in various African countries, and even though everyone in Africa could be labeled as white or black using genetics, it is often culturally irrelevant to do so. You can divide the world's people up in dozens of different ways, many of them rigorous, but all of them arbitrary.

A disregard of race= disregard of 'white', 'black', etc
That is not the case. Even if no race is pure, it doesn't make blacks identical to whites

>> No.8433338

Discussing race is a classic example of how human intuition breaks down in the face of sufficiently abstract problems.
Systematically categorizing billions of people is an extraordinarily complex and nuanced issue.
Thousands of years of immigration and cosmopolitan culture have obliterated any sense of a continuum, and the average person greets with disbelief the notion that there are people halfway between them and their neighbor of another race. The only gaps are a result of, geologically speaking, short periods of seperation.

Die Negers von Afrika haben von der Natur kein Gefühl, welches über das Läppische stiege. Herr Hume fordert jedermann auf, ein einziges Beispiel anzuführen, da ein Neger Talente gewiesen habe, und behauptet: daß unter den hunderttausenden von Schwarzen, die aus ihren Ländern anderwärts verführt werden, dennoch nicht ein einziger jemals gefunden worden, der entweder in Kunst oder Wissenschaft, oder irgend einer andern rühmlichen Eigenschaft etwas Großes vorgestellt habe, obgleich unter den Weißen sich beständig welche aus dem niedrigsten Pöbel empor schwingen und durch vorzügliche Gaben in der Welt ein Ansehen erwerben. So wesentlich ist der Unterschied zwischen diesen zwei Menschengeschlechtern, und er scheint eben so groß in Ansehung der Gemüthsfähigkeiten, als der Farbe nach zu sein. Die unter ihnen weit ausgebreitete Religion der Fetische ist vielleicht eine Art von Götzendienst, welcher so tief ins Läppische sinkt, als es nur immer von der menschlichen Natur möglich zu sein scheint. Eine Vogelfeder, ein Kuhhorn, eine Muschel, oder jede andere gemeine Sache, so bald sie durch einige Worte eingeweiht worden, ist ein Gegenstand der Verehrung und der Anrufung in Eidschwüren. Die Schwarzen sind sehr eitel, aber auf Negerart und so plauderhaft, daß sie mit Prügeln auseinander gejagt werden müssen.

«Leurs yeux ronds, leur nez épaté, leurs lèvres toujours grosses, leurs oreilles différemment figurées, la laine de leur tête, la mesure même de leur intelligence, mettent entre eux et les autres espèces d’hommes des d i f f é r e n c e s prodigieuses »: Essai sur les moeurs, INTRODUCTION.[1]
(Their round eyes, their flattened nose, their lips which are always large, their differently shaped ears, the wool of their head, that very measure of their intelligence, place prodigious differences between them and the other species of men.)

«[Ε]t ils n’ont d’homme que la stature du corps, avec la faculté de la parole et de la pensée dans un degré très éloigné du nôtre. Tels sont ceux que j’ai vus et examinés»: Essai sur les moeurs, INTRODUCTION.[2]

(And they are not men, except in their stature, with the faculty of speech and thought at a degree far distant to ours. Such are the ones that I have seen and examined.)

«[Ε]t on peut dire que si leur intelligence n’est pas d’une autre espèce que notre entendement, elle est fort inférieure. Ils ne sont pas capables d’une grande attention; ils combinent peu, et ne paraissent faits ni pour les avantages ni pour les abus de notre philosophie»: Essai sur les moeurs, kεφ. CXLI.[3]

(And one could say that if their intelligence is not of another species than ours, then it is greatly inferior. They are not capable of paying much attention; they mingle very little, and they do not appear to be made either for the advantages or the abuses of our philosophy.)

And the best quote:

«C'est une grande question parmi eux s'ils son descendus des singes, ou si les singes sont venus d'eux. Nos sages ont dit que l'homme est l'image de Dieu: voilà une plaisante image de l'Etre éternel qu'un nez noir épaté, avec peu ou point d'intelligence! Un temps viendra, sans doute, où ces animaux sauront bien cultiver la terre, l'embellir par des maisons et par des jardins, et connaître la route des astres. Il faut du temps pour tout»: Lettres d’Amabed, Septième lettre. D'Amabed.[4]

(And it is a big question whether among them they are descendants of monkeys, or if monkeys come from them. Our wise men have said that man is the image of God: behold a pleasant image of the eternal Being with a flat black nose, with little or no intelligence! A time will come, without a doubt, when these animals will know how to cultivate the earth well, to embellish it with houses and gardens, and to know the routes of the stars. Time is a must, for everything.)

This is THE authoritative text on race and intelligence. Irrefutable, it was composed by a Harvard-educated UC Berkeley educational psychology professor and still embarrasses posturing leftist dilettantes to this day. Jensen withstood histrionic progressive sanctimony for his entire career, continuously destroying facetious arguments propagated by cowards like Stephen Jay Gould and various offended laypeople with hot opinions.
http://www1.udel.edu/educ/gottfredson/30years/Rushton-Jensen30years.pdf

Jason Richwine, also Harvard-educated, is doing interesting research on how racial differences in intelligence influence society. Here's an article he wrote that explains why there are still popular myths promoted by the media and egalitarian pseuds like "the difference between black and white IQs isn't significant" or "IQ isn't reliable or taken seriously by academics" or "even there is an IQ gap, we shouldn't acknowledge it."

No, we muddied the waters enough to the point that it's impossible to make clean cut subdivisions, therefore race doesn't exist and all the statistics about race are invalid (except for the ones we like).
