Introduction

The world's dark races are suffering. They are disproportionately poor, and in many areas poor in ways few people of the light races will ever see up close. The neighborhoods, cities, and countries they inhabit are crime-ridden, and in many areas it is the rule rather than the exception to have been raped or to have lost loved ones to murder. Many countries are caught up or are coming out of wars in which civilians have been maimed and slaughtered, and many others have governments that operate like a less-subtle mafia.

It is not my goal here to blame whites. Whites get quite enough blame - most commentators assure us that black suffering in America is the result of slavery, in Africa of colonialism, and in Europe of neglect. We have been called "the cancer of human history" as well as "white devils".

All that is nonsense, of course, but whites are already the subject of plenty of race realist blogs. Race-conscious whites are on the defensive, and it is to be expected that they will spend most of their time working against the slander that their people face and the legacy of state-sanctioned discrimination and state-ignored violence that their children face.

But.

If there is to be an uprising of realism - and it seems to me that, sooner or later, there must be - we do not want it to be the sort of realism that, though seeing accurately what is, refuses to consider what could be. We do not want "realists" that can see no good beyond self-preservation.

Haiti, the American South, large swathes of Africa - all of these were once thriving, majority-black areas. Whites built them and introduced black peoples to a much higher standard of living than they had previously known. Now we have charity-run Haiti, Atlanta and New Orleans, the Congo and Kibera Slum.

White money flows to these places. We "fill full the mouth of famine and bid the sickness cease", at least so far as black leaders will let us. We do not ask for anything in return - and if we decide to set up shop there, it is only a noble attempt at being non-condescending, not a real money-making venture.

Some good comes out of this. Some black Africans escape the continent, and blacks of Europe and North America are generally well cared-for. But mostly, bad comes out of this. Africa is giving birth to many more children than she can feed, and is headed toward giving birth to more children than we can feed. Donated food, captured by corrupt governments, becomes a tool of war. Well-meaning first-worlders dig into their pockets to feed hungry children, and instead provide self-serving officials with fancy cars.

So is "salutary neglect" the way to go? Is the best thing we can do to let black peoples face the lack of white aid and return to their traditional ways? Or is there some way to institute a relationship between our races that benefits rather than harms them? I think there is. We've done it before, and it didn't fail because it was poorly conceived. It failed because whites gave up on it.

So I propose that race realists make positive race relations part of their program from the start. We're nowhere near to terraforming Mars, so for now we have to live together in peace, or live together in war. Please race realists, reactionaries, traditionalists, and (gulp) regular old conservatives and liberals: don't let the race problem keep growing.



Principles:

1) Charity starts at home...
People have natural attachments - to their families, their communities, and their people - for a reason. It teaches the soul to look beyond itself. God says to "honor thy mother and father", and nature forces us to honor our children. This program is by no means an excuse to neglect those we owe the most.

2) but these ties are derivative.
Man can serve one master. America is good, but not The Good. White people are good, but not The Good. And your children are good, but not The Good. You will fail any of these if you put it first.

3) Those who want to be helped come first.
It is a travesty of justice to cry over poor, disadvantaged (violent, self-centered) "youths" and pour our resources into trapping them in schools and saving them from themselves while neglecting to save others from them. Charter schools are often accused of skimming off the best students for themselves - well, good for them. Hard-working, peaceful children should not have to attend school with thugs. Likewise, the methods I am about to suggest for the third world will not work if we try to impose them on people who would rather commit crimes and live in squalor. Helping some is better than helping none.
