A Black Man’s Path to Race Realism

Tuesday, November 19th, 2013

I can’t vouch for the veracity of A Black Man’s Path to Race Realism, but Larry Murdock’s story is… interesting:

For all these reasons I married a Chinese woman and we have a son. I don’t want him to identify as black. We speak Chinese at home, and I have decided that he can learn English as a second language—maybe after age five. We’ve had his DNA tested, and he is actually more Han Chinese (48.6 percent) than any other race (9.3 percent white, 42.1 percent black).

We are converting to Judaism, and therefore adopting a cultural environment that is as far from black as I can find. My son has options. He can think of himself as strictly Jewish. His names are Hebrew, and can be used in either the Sephardic or Ashkenazi traditions.

Or, he can think of himself as Chinese. Surprisingly, Chinese people have a better attitude towards those they think they are assimilating. My son has a Chinese passport, and if he decides to stay in China and can play the role of someone who accepts the glory of Han culture, he’ll do fine.

Or maybe he can think of himself as American—race unspecified. For his sake, I don’t want him to think of himself as “black,” because that just has too much baggage.

    The story is so fundamentally weird that I tend to believe it…

    The article is more of a curiosity piece than anything else. The fact that a very small number of blacks accept the concept of genetic racial differences does not really translate into anything important for the various white identify movements.

    It does further show (if anyone of good faith needed proof) that Jared Taylor is the consummate gentleman and civilized person: his beliefs have nothing to do with “hating” anyone.

    That said, and although I do not think this was Taylor’s intention in publishing the piece, it may tend to come off a bit like the Tea Partiers who photograph themselves with a black person and a sign saying “we’re not racist”.

    Whether or not this guy is legitimate, I’ve seen a couple black guys on YouTube saying more or less the same things (without the trip to China, obviously). It doesn’t take much more than the “us against them” bit getting flipped. Everything after that point is rather obvious.

  3. The comments are funny. They showcase why WN won’t go anywhere. These people can’t even decide whether someone of another race can be friends with them.

    I don’t know how a handful of Internet comments demonstrate anything, especially since it is well-known that even the most rabid Southern segregationists of the 1950s and 1960s generally had cordial and even friendly relations with blacks. That’s why MLK was so shocked when he was first jeered and then hit in the head by a brick when he came to Chicago.
