IS THERE A SUPERIOR RACE?
 

ON the next two pages you will note that, for the first time in APN''s 16 years of publication, we carry a paid advertisement. We are well aware that the subject matter presented is, in these politically correct days, usually regarded as taboo, as too sensitive to be touched. However, we accepted these pages for a very special reason. Race has marred our past. Race and intolerance continue to cloud our present and threaten our future.

The ANC has now had five years in which to prove itself. Is SA any better off? The answer to that is highly visible on all sides. Not only have they bankrupted the most advanced state in Africa, but the human degradation inflicted is reflected in our unredeemingly appalling crime rate, in the squalor and barbarity of so many of our city centres, in the truly dreadful squatter camps that defile huge areas of our countryside, in our collapsed educational system, our filthy hospitals, in the nightmare of our long neglected AIDS pandemic.

Desperately ill-governed, SA is on the skids to a degree unthinkable just a few years ago. Our prospects are as bleak as they can be. Nothing here that can be recognised as "Renaissance." In short, they have charted their course to the usual indigent, totalitarian African wasteland. To put it bluntly, the country is not working for the very good reason that the ANC just does not know how to make it work.

One way and another, it takes a lot of faith and fortitude to live in SA these days. Well might we ask: Does the ANC really want a multiracial democracy with prosperity for all? Seemingly not, and for a very good reason. Like the Nationalists before them, the ANC is an inherently racist organisation. They will not accept, as has been proved across the years throughout this continent, that SA without the Whites just cannot work.

I now quote an extract from an article written by Professor Michael Levin of the Graduate Centre of the City University of New York, and published in the February issue of American Renaissance (Box 527, Oakton, VA22124, USA) under the title "Is There a Superior Race?" (On tape T036):

"It is a matter of verifiable fact that the influence of whites dominates mankind. Had blacks never existed, Europe and Asia would be pretty much as they are today. Had Asians never existed, the world would be somewhat different, but still recognisable. But a world in which there had never been Europeans is unimaginable. It is not just that everyone else has been Westernised in the superficial respects that are easy to criticise, like clothing and music.

"Western science and technology shape mankind's building, trade, transportation, communication and education. Cars are almost everywhere, and where there aren't

cars there are bicycles - both Western inventions. People pay bills by cheque, an innovation of late medieval Europe. They erect large structures according to mechanical principles discovered in the West. Terrorists attack with guns of Western design and explosives mixed according to Western chemistry. Every high school student in the world learns Cartesian co-ordinates, another product of Caucasian ingenuity.

"The other side of the coin of influence is emulation. Every other culture wants - covets - the control over nature that Western man has achieved by scientific methods of thought. It is important to emphasise this standard, for egalitarians always describe Caucasian influence as 'imperialism,' as if whites forced it on the rest of the world. Not so; other countries would give a great deal for Western standards of living, infant mortality rates, longevity, productivity and individual freedom. While from a cosmic point of view no culture may be better than another, when all sides agree in prizing the products of one culture, there is from a practical point of view not much to argue about.

"This is not to say that other cultures always realise or admit that they emulate the West. They often treat the fruits of Caucasian science as natural resources they are entitled to. Negotiations about sea-bed mining are forever breaking down when backward countries demand that the Western world give them their 'fair share' of the world's mineral wealth. They ignore the fact that it takes Western ingenuity and effort to extract it, and that effort and ingenuity deserve to be rewarded. But it is clear that if a magic wand could give the Third World Western skills, Third-World critics of 'imperialism' would wave it without hesitation.

"Western values are emulated not just collectively, but individually. Everyone admires the traits in which whites excel, chiefly intelligence. Do not be fooled by the esteem in which athletic and sexual prowess are held by some groups. Intelligence may not be valued as highly elsewhere as it is at an American university but there is no culture in which the local equivalent of 'bright' is not a compliment nor 'stupid' an insult.

The picture is fuzzier for traits like law-abidingness, but on the whole Caucasians and Mongoloids excel Negroids in individual traits that members of all three groups prize. "Closely related to the emulation standard is that of efficiency. Given certain goals or ends common to all groups, one group is considered 'superior' when its means to those ends are most efficient. 'Better' often means 'is a better means.' Crop rotation, for example, is better than sacrificing to the Sun God, because it produces a bigger harvest. By this means-ends test, Caucasians have created a verifiably better civilisation because it more readily secures certain universal goals …"
