Steve Sailer.
It also should have been expected that a large fraction of New Orleans's lower class blacks would not evacuate before a disaster. Many are too poor to own a car, or too untrustworthy to get a ride with neighbors, or too shortsighted to worry...
In contrast to New Orleans, there was only minimal looting after the horrendous 1995 earthquake in Kobe, Japan--because, when you get down to it, Japanese aren't blacks.
VDARE is considered a hate group by the SPLC. One of their other columnists, incidentally, is conservative darling and internment apologist Michelle Malkin, who has made it a point in the past to endorse both VDARE and Steve Sailer specifically.
Update [2005-9-6 14:56:32 by Hunter]: John Derbyshire at NRO endorses the racist drivel without apology:
Under the circumstances, to say, as Steve Sailer does, that African Americans "tend to possess poorer native judgment than members of better-educated groups," and "need stricter moral guidance from society" does not seem to me very outrageous.
And from there, let's go to former First Lady Barbara Bush, let's go to the tapes for a repeat of her sold-out weekend performance at the Houston Astrodome...
Almost everyone I've talked to says we're going to move to Houston. What I'm hearing which is sort of scary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.
And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this -- this (chuckles slightly) is working very well for them.
I just don't even know what to say to that. But it seems the underpinnings of compassionate conservatism got washed into Lake George with the rest of the sewage and noxious chemicals -- because over the last few days, I've been seeing more and more quotes like these from the most die-hard conservative Republican strongholds.
I wonder what's going to happen to all these lucky underprivileged people with nice comfy cots in the sea of loss currently flooding the Astrodome and other shelters. I wonder if we've even begun to see the class and race war they -- through the loss of their homes, everything they ever owned, their neighborhoods, their neighbors, their city, and in too many cases the deaths of their children, or parents, or siblings -- have been lucky enough to find themselves in the middle of.
