Longtime pro-White writer Jared Taylor got in a bit of a kerfuffle on social media for mentioning that West Virginia might not be prime White DNA:

In an interview with Richard Hanania, Taylor said he found the Mountaineers to be not-so-great. He recalled that when he walked around its capital, he wondered if there was a city ordinance requiring citizens to be obese, smoke, and have tattoos. He still said that he considers these whites his “brothers and sisters” and wants a better life for them.

People need to give this man a break: socialism has ruined a lot of America, and many Americans are in fact walking human ruins because of their modern lifestyles or genetic disasters that produced them. After all, trace miscegenation and inbreeding have wrecked many small area populations.

When you introduce the government dole, you aggregate populations of the least capable. Kevin Williamson got in a similar kerfuffle some years ago for observing that Appalachia had become a genetic tide pool:

Those who have the required work skills, the academic ability, or the simple desperate native enterprising grit to do so get the hell out as fast as they can, and they have been doing that for decades. As they go, businesses disappear, institutions fall into decline, social networks erode, and there is little or nothing left over for those who remain. It’s a classic economic death spiral: The quality of the available jobs is not enough to keep good workers, and the quality of the available workers is not enough to attract good jobs.

Unions kill the good jobs, which go overseas; government puts everyone else on welfare. The people who can, escape, and the rest are caught in a vortex of bad genetics and no hope. Consequently, you get lots of obese people wandering around with menthols in one hand and new tattoo designs in the other.

As race realists, we have to be realists about everything else genetic, and part of that is realizing that the bell curve exists in all areas of life. Most are in the middle, some are exceptional, and some cluster to the far left with low ability. Government aggregates these in economic dead zones.

In the meantime, everyone missed part of what Taylor said, which is that these people are his “brothers and sisters” too. Underclasses exist, always have, and always shall. A sane society stays mono-ethnic and then helps these people by reducing the cost and raising the quality of their housing, food, institutions, and other products.

We probably cannot fix these people instantly, but what we can do is build them a functional society where they can perform to the top of their ability. The rest must be fixed by nature, which it will over time by rewarding the best among them with more children. When we work with nature, things turn out for the best.
