Producer suspended over race row 22.03.2011. The producer of ITV1's Midsomer Murders has been suspended after saying the drama "wouldn't work" if there was racial diversity in the show, reports BBC:
Continue reading at BBC. HonestThinking comments: This is disgusting. The Midsomer Murders show has been aired since 1997, but all of a sudden it dawns on somebody that one has forgotten to demand of the producer that the mandatory racial diversity be added. And when the producer hesitates to allow his unique TV series to be changed into something very different by such a PC requirement, all of a sudden there are "urgent discussions", the holier-than-thou folks are "shocked and appalled", and the producer is suspended. What a disgrace! Something is seriously wrong in a society where people in power feel obliged to act like this. A show about rural life in England just cannot be allowed to remain free from racial diversity. Even if many villages and rural communities in England are still all-white in real life, they apparently cannot be depicted as such in TV shows. This reminds me of the twisted thinking that has come to dominate everything that has ever been produced by Hollywood for the last decades. No sitcom, no TV series, no drama, no action movie, no nothing can ever be produced in Hollywood without racial diversity being part of the recipe. I'm not objecting to racial diversity per se; on the contrary I consider it perfectly legitimate that movies, TV series, etc include minority representative whenever that is natural. I do however object to the idea that there is something wrong or immoral about having a movie or TV series made with white actors/actresses only in a white majority country. And when was, by the way, the last time you heard any of these ITV, BBC, or Hollywood hypocrites complain about the unacceptable attitudes behind Chinese, Japanese, or Indian movies, say, having only Chinese, Japanese, and Indian actors/actresses, respectively? Quite some time ago, I presume. And how often have you heard the same people accuse the film and TV industries in Muslim countries of using too few Christian, Hindu, or atheistic actors/actresses (not to mention characters) in their productions? Never or seldom, would be my guess; the reason being that the PC crowd feel no obligation at all to be consistent. Ultimately, this whole bag of baloney has less to do with justice or balance, and all the more to do with anti-white and anti-Western bias. And I emphatically object to Hollywood and its brain-dead followers deliberately trying to force-feed audiences a patently false picture of minorities and their role in society. In Hollywood's world black people have an average IQ way above 100. In particular, black detectives, black police inspectors, black doctors, black business executives, and most other kinds of black heroes tend to have IQs around 200 (i.e., they are depicted as more or less super-human; often able to answer the most complex questions, and make the most difficult decisions, in a matter of seconds). We all know that things look different in the real world. This childish make-believe stuff is neither ingenious, moral, nor helpful; just patronizing, hypocritical, and dishonest.
A must-read book by Professor Byron M. Roth
12.03.2011. Professor Byron M. Roth has written a fantastic book; well-researched, science-based, and full of useful information and sharp observations (594 pages, 993 footnotes, a 35-page bibliography). I am not aware of any other book that so thoroughly documents the problems associated with the multicultural ideology that currently holds the Western world in a deadly embrace. Every now and then there appear books that deserve to become standard references and which should therefore be considered mandatory reading for anyone who wishes to understand a particular topic. This is such a book. To see why, please see my review (which links to other reviews and additional material about the book).

Quotes
He is right to argue that immigration on the scale that Europe has experienced consitutues a risky experiment. He is right that we frequently talk about it in stupid and dishonest ways. The Guardian, commenting on Christopher Caldwell's book Reflections on the Revolution in Europe
Try to repopulate Thailand with Scots and Slovaks and see whether what results is still Thailand. Takuan Seiyo, Gates of Vienna, 12.12.2010
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
A West which has not yet understood that whites, in a world become too small for its inhabitants, are now a minority and that the proliferation of other races dooms our race, my race, irretrievably to extinction in the century to come, if we hold fast to our present moral principles. Jean Raspail, 1982, The Camp of the Saints
Those who subscribe to the opinion that there are no human races are obviously ignorant of modern biology. Ernst Mayr (2002)
It is irrelevant whether Wilder’s witnesses might prove Wilders’ observations to be correct - what's relevant is that his observations are illegal. Openbaar Ministerie, The Netherland, January 2010
In its death throes, Eutopia has decided to smash the lights of liberty. Mark Steyn, commenting on the Wilders trial, The International Free Press Society, 19.01.2010
This is the trend worldwide. The white race will in the long term become extinct. . . . Apparently we are happy with this development. Jozef Ritzen, Dutch Minister of Education, Culture, and Science, quoted in Takimag
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
Mozart, Pascal, Boolean algebra, Shakespeare, parliamentary government, baroque churches, Newton, the emancipation of women, Kant, Balanchine ballets, et al. don't redeem what this particular civilization has wrought upon the world. The white race is the cancer of human history. Susan Sontag, Partisan Review, Winter 1967, p. 57.
There is no single human being who has ever done more to destroy the white race than Adolf Hitler. Fjordman, the Brussels Journal, 27.04.2009
Germany’s downward spiral in population is no longer reversible. The birthrate has dropped so low that immigration numbers cannot compensate. The fall in the population can no longer be stopped. Vice-president Walter Rademacher, the Federal Statistics Office
This is not a legitimate area of research. R. Brian Ferguson, Rutgers University, voicing his opinion about research efforts to use "genetics to study behavioral differences among people". Los Angeles Times, 18.04.2009
Therefore insensitivity for the existing societal power relationships is crucial for the interpretation of the limits of free expression. EU's Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) - part of the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia, in Freedom of Expression and Hate Speech: some points for consideration, December 2008, quoted in Standpoint Magazine
"The most important blank spot exists now [sic] in deconstructing the majority so thoroughly that it can never be called the majority again" Professor Thomas Hylland Eriksen, Culcom, 27.08.2008
"Why am I posting so much about science? First, I do think it is fair to say that the Right has a “Science Problem.” But secondly, my own conservatism is grounded and framed in the scientific understanding of human nature, at least to the extent we understand it. Any conservatism which is empirical and takes the idea of a human nature seriously must ultimately assimilate the most recent findings of the evolutionary & behavioral sciences." Razib Khan, Secular Right, 01.12.2008
"We have to exterminate white people off the face of the planet to solve this problem.…I’m saying to you that we need to solve this problem because they are going to kill us.…The problem on the planet is white people." Dr. Kamau Kambon, former North Carolina State visiting professor of African Studies, speaking at Howard University, quoted at Gates of Vienna
"This amounts to saying that meeting with potentially violent groups, as long as they are non-white, is OK, but meeting with non-violent groups who work peacefully within the democratic system is not OK if they stand up for their rights and happen to be white. I do not accept this double standard and refuse to submit to it." Fjordman, Gates of Vienna, 30.10.2008
"Indeed, no true leftist – whether Marxist, cultural Marxist, Christian social penitent, New York liberal or Amsterdam libertine -- will ever let reality interfere with a good theory. [...] Maybe Benjamin Franklin was right when he said that we must all hang together, or we shall all hang separately." Takuan Seiyo, The Brussels Journal, 28.10.2008
"What the bill will not do: ... First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same.... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset.... Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia.... In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think.... The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs." United States Senator Ted Kennedy, during debate on the Senate floor, speaking of the effects of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (U.S. Senate, Subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization of the Committee on the Judiciary, Washington, D.C., Feb. 10, 1965. pp. 1-3).
"[Certain people think] that Europeans must prove that we are 100% "ideologically pure" before we should be granted the right to fight for our continued existence. Imagine if a house is on fire. The fire brigade has just arrived to put out the fire, but the neighbor won't allow them to use the local water because he fears it may be impure. He will only accept that they use holy water - distilled holy water - and only if it has been blessed by a lesbian priest who supports voting rights for illegal immigrants. Since the firefighters don't have this available, the house burns down, but the neighbor takes comfort in knowing that at least the remaining ash is ideologically pure." Fjordman, Atlas Shrugs, 23.09.2008
"If there’s one thing the evolutionary process cannot produce, it is equality." Vincent Sarich and Frank Miele in Race - the reality of human differences
"General impressions are never to be trusted. Unfortunately when they are of long standing they become fixed rules of life, and assume a prescriptive right not to be questioned. Consequently those who are not accustomed to original inquiry entertain a hatred and a horror of statistics. They cannot endure the idea of submitting their sacred impressions to cold-blooded verification. But it is the triumph of scientific men to rise superior to such superstitions, to devise tests by which the value of beliefs may be ascertained, and to feel sufficiently masters of themselves to discard contemptuously whatever may be found untrue." Sir Francis Galton, Ann Eugenics 1925;1:i (BMJ).
"At the present moment, it is impossible to demonstrate that there exist between 'races' differences of intelligence and temperament other than those produced by cultural environment. If, tomorrow, more accurate tests or more thorough studies should prove that 'races' as such do, in fact, have different innate faculties or aptitudes, Unesco's moral position on the race question would not be changed. ... Concern for human dignity demands that all citizens be equal before the law ... no matter what their physical or intellectual differences may be... The conscience of all mankind demand that this be true for all the peoples of the earth. It matters little, therefore, whether the diversity of men's gift be the result of biological or cultural factors." The Race Question (page 3), UNESCO, 18.07.1950
"[Brazil] suffers less than other nations from the effects of those prejudices which are at the root of so many vexatious and cruel measures in countries of similar ethnic composition. ... We must learn [through research] exactly why and how social, psychological and economic factors have contributed in varying degrees to make possible the harmony which exists in Brazil" The Race Question (page 4), UNESCO, 18.07.1950
"Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity." The motto of the publication Race Traitor.
"But it is absolutely verboten for either [political] party, or any white candidate, to appeal to whites as a racial identity group. Racial identity is simply forbidden to whites in America and across the entire Western world. Black children today are hammered with the idea of racial identity and pride, yet racial pride in whites constitutes a grave evil. Say "I'm white and I'm proud" and you are a Nazi." Shelby Steele, The Wall Street Journal, 13.11.2003.
"I always felt that a scientist owes the world only one thing, and that is the truth as he sees it. If the truth contradicts deeply held beliefs, that is too bad. Tact and diplomacy are fine in international relations, in politics, perhaps even in business; in science only one thing matters, and that is the facts" Hans J. Eysenck, in his autobiography Rebel with a Cause
"America has been an exception to the general rule that multiracial, multiethnic societies are doomed to eventual dissolution" Professor Carol M. Swain, in Contemporary voices of white nationalism in America (page viii)
"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum." Noam Chomsky, quoted by Democracy reform
Our Manifesto |
HonestThinking is dedicated and committed to the art of thinking honestly. Yet honest thinking is not the same as true thinking, for it is possible to think honestly, but be mistaken. For the same reason, honest thinking is not identical with objective thinking either. Honest thinking is striving to get things right. This involves being truthful about whatever one publishes, but just as importantly, it involves an uncompromising dedication never to suppress relevant data, even when data collides with dearly held prejudices. Such an approach may sometimes cause hurtful revisions in one’s belief system. That’s what HonestThinking is all about! Read the entire manifesto.

| Multicultural societies – respect for Muslims and Islam |
The current European immigration and integration policy is profoundly disrespectful of both Muslims and Islam, because it is built on the tacit assumption that the Muslims will become like us. One claims to have respect for Islam and for Muslims, but one also expects Muslims to give up their orthodox faith when they come here. At the same time one is assuming that Islam will be reformed and modernized as soon as the Muslims become integrated and understand and appreciate how superior our Western culture is compared to their own. This is cultural shauvinism and arrogance indeed! The unspoken premise for this scenario is that Western socities are superior to Islam. Read more.

| Threats against democracy and human rights |
Human rights and democracy are under pressure. One threat comes from the Western world, in the form of lack of or dishonest thinking. There exists a peculiar Western "tolerance" which is so "tolerant" that it even tolerates totalitarian or anti-democratic ideologies. A tacit assumption underlying such an attitude is that all cultures, world views, and religions are really equally good. As a consequence of this assumption one is cut off from the possibility of critically examining the above mentioned ideologies. Read more.
