Pretty confusing imo. Seems like a lot of mental gymnastics. Ignores or refuses to accept a proper definition of race. Doesn't seem to accept that based on his own thought process that race/genetics is one of the most fundamentally important categories of nature when it comes to understanding our reality as different homo sapiens subspecies.

Says Whites recognizing our racial consciousness is wrong because Whites become Jews, while simultaneously proselytizing that we should subscribe to a Semitic religion is good. Very mistakenly labels racial differences as superficial, which makes me think he wasn't even listening during that 20 minute segment of Jared that was posted.

Misunderstands the nature vs. nurture aspect of out-of-wedlock birth rates. No one would say that culture or environment doesn't matter but somehow he seems to think that it can't be both, i.e. it's totally cultural, or that HBDers/racialists are suggesting that these sorts of things are purely racial (genetic) in origin. If you're predisposed to lung cancer, then smoking is probably not a good idea. These aren't mutually exclusive items.

If we look at the percentages over time, the differences become even more striking. According to a report from The Brookings Institute: “In 1965, 24 percent of black infants and 3.1 percent of white infants were born to single mothers. By 1990 the rates had risen to 64 percent for black infants, 18 percent for whites.”[3] This means, of course, that white illegitimacy is now higher than black illegitimacy was then. What does this tell us about race? The answer is that it tells us nothing, but it does tell us a lot about cultural change.

Ignores how Jewish attacks on Whites are for us being White and NOT for being Catholic, e.g. the classic twitter "fellow white" shapeshifting. I suppose at one time the subversion of Catholicism might have been religiously motivated to hurt Gentiles but I don't see how that's relevant today given how successful the total secularization of the West has been. I'm very averse to how returning to Christianity is going to save us. I don't think continuing to tether the White man to a foreign Semitic religion is in our interest.

Holds Jared's aversion to naming the Jew against him, even though I think it's quite obvious why he toes that line. Other people, like Jones, suitably fulfill that role. No sense punching right (or whatever you want to label it as).

Jones cites some extreme philo-Semite, Ed Simon, as to how White people were "invented". I don't like resorting to ad hominems like this but Jones should know better. As far as our history matters, White people have always existed and until modern mass migration and deracination campaigns we were able to fall back on an ethnic identity. We were always White and part of the White/European family. The existence of ethnic identities does not preclude this. Some examples of Ed Simon's philo-Semitism:

"Simon is not Jewish — though he did serve as the Hillel chapter president while attending Washington and Jefferson College, and interned in 2005 at the [Jewish] Chronicle [newspaper]."

 

In “Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims’ American Jewish Holiday,” Ed Simon reported that Benjamin Franklin had recommended that the American republic adopt as its national seal a portrayal of “Moses in the Dress of a High Priest standing on the Shore, and Extending his Hand Over the Sea, Thereby Causing the Same to Overwhelm Pharaoh.” Simon also noted that “the Puritans from whom Franklin descended had been comparing their own arrival in the New World to the story of Exodus for more than a century.” These colonial settlers, Simon declared, were the “inheritors of a profoundly Judaic vision.”

It's amazing how much someone can get right and then be so utterly wrong on a proximal issue. Nobody is perfect I guess. I've considered looking into Catholicism but if this is the kind of mental gymnastics that one has to twist their worldview into for coherence, then I'm glad I didn't sink too much time into it.
