Africa Walks Amongst Us
Some of you may have seen this video of blacks in Chicago having a grand old time on a hot summer night. Here’s another video from that city of high civilization.
Notice that some of those blacks, including at least one who kicked the beaten kid, were wearing what looked like school uniforms. Nice to see we’re investing in our future.
It’s videos like this that help explain why Revilo Oliver went crazy. He was old enough to remember when American cities were fit for human habitation.

Totally OT
Does anyone know of fiction authors, especially scifi who engage hbd or eu/dysgenic themes? The only modern science fiction author I can think of S.M. Stirling, but there must be others.

Rob,
As Steve Sailer has pointed out, CM Kornbluth famously dealt with dysgenic themes in a couple of his stories, most notably “The Marching Morons.” Of course, that particular work came out decades ago.
Frank Herbert’s “Dune” portrayed the inhabitants of Arrakis as being genetically superior to normal humans due to the way the hellish environment of that planet culled the weak and the stupid. This notion of Human Biodiversity looms large in that tale, although most readers seem not to have noticed. But again, that novel is older than most of the folks who read this blog.
And the late Robert Heinlein, a vocal believer in the power of nature over nurture, openly stated in several of his novels that space colonists and their descendants would likely be more intelligent that the rest of us.
Then there’s Raspail’s “Camp of the Saints,” of course, a tale of how Third Worlders demographically swamp the West in the near future–although genetic differences are not mentioned in that excellent book.
But as far as a science fiction writer who currently deals with HBD themes, I can’t really think of a single one, not even Jerry Pournelle, although he does know what the score is. (I haven’t read Stirling, so I can’t comment on him; in fact, I don’t read all that much in the field any more, although I still retain my fondness for it.)
The great strength of science fiction, of course, is that nobody takes it seriously. Even in the USSR or McCarthy-era America, writers of science fiction could get away with bloody murder because the powers that be didn’t realize how subversive the genre is. So when an SF writer of talent finally does tackle HBD, he will do doubtless do so in the context of bug-eyed monsters or bioengineered mutants, so that only those few readers who are paying close attention will understand what he’s getting at—the rest will undergo what Anthony Burgess in “A Clockwork Orange” termed “subliminal penetration.”
I wonder who among us will writer the Great Dystopian HBD novel. Perhaps he is reading these words…

The Dosadi Experiment by F Herbert imagines a toxic planet where two species are forced to co-exist. They evolve higher intelligence, and break out of their hellish planet to disperse amont the “morons”(humanity).
What happens next is unclear.

Good luck writing the great HBD novel. The publishing establishment will crucify you unless you can find good alternative publishing, distribution, and marketing mechanisms.

According the TheGrio (an African-American news site launched in June by NBC News) whitey was responsible for this murder. Rampant violence among black and Latino youth is the result of the “long history of systemic and structural anti-black or anti-Latino racism.”

>Good luck writing the great HBD novel.<
By its nature science fiction provides a great deal of, if you will pardon the term, protective coloration for all manner of subversion. The trick is to combine a light touch with plausible deniability: "Are you crazy? I was just writing a story about time traveling mutants, that's all. Now piss off."

Thanks for the info guys. Alice, I certainlyl won’t be writing the great hbd novel. I doubt I could even pull of a mediocre hbd novel. Dialog is really hard. I’ll look around the internet for Kornbluth, I think he’s all out of print.
