Racism and racists

John Derbyshire is a racist, white supremacist and homophobic writer whose fetid bigotry proved unacceptable even to the white Republican males at the conservative journal National Review. In 2012, Derbyshire responded to the street-execution of African-American teen Trayvon Martin by unleashing a knee-jerk swarm of sub-moronic assertions based on long-refuted stereotypes about the African-American community.

Pretending to offer advice to his children, he advised that they "stay out of heavily black neighborhoods" and "not attend events likely to draw a lot of blacks." Derbyshire squirted further racist bile: "If planning a trip to a beach or amusement park at some date, find out whether it is likely to be swamped with blacks" and "If you are at some public event at which the number of blacks suddenly swells, leave as quickly as possible." Despite claiming to be a trained mathematician, Derbyshire went on to endorse the fake statistics peddled by the pseudo-science of psychometrics, claiming that "the mean intelligence of blacks is much lower than for whites."[1]

This proved unacceptable even to the National Review and Derbyshire was summarily relieved of writing duties. Unfortunately, he continues to pollute the internet with his hate-think at Taki Mag and VDare, alongside of such hardcore racists as neo-nazi theoretician Kevin MacDonald, pseudo-scientist Steve Sailer and viciously anti-black blogger/journalist Nicholas Stix. The depth of Derbyshire's warped psychology can be ascertained from the fact that, while demanding that access to the American Dream be blocked for people of color, he himself is an immigrant from Britain. Furthermore, the wife of this dedicated and unrepentant hate-monger is Chinese and he has two half-Chinese children. In other words, he's yet another conservative hypocrite.[2]
