The Meghan Markle Mess: I Told You So!

The British Royal Family is in crisis .
Less than two years after marrying Meghan Markle , the brother of the future king has ceased to be royal .
And it ’ s got everything to do with “ race.
” Even Alt-Lite commentators such as Sargon of Akkad agree that the problem is Meghan Markle ’ s flawed character .
But what Sargon fails to understand is that her type of flawed character is disproportionately associated with mixed black-white race people—exactly as I warned at the time of her wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018 : “ She @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He !
Evolutionary Psychology Says Meghan and Harry Will Divorce .
Harry and Meghan , now widely mocked as the Prince and “ Princess of Woke ” [ Please America , take Meghan Markle back , By Rod Liddle , Spectator USA , October , 2 2019 ] , have plunged the House of Windsor into what The Sydney Morning Herald has described as its worst catastrophe since the abdication of King Edward VIII in 1936 [ Prince Harry ’ s attempt to protect Meghan will make her a target for hatred , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Herald , January 9 , 2020 ] .
It has been lost on nobody that this abdication was brought about by King Edward ’ s insisting on marrying a famously self-centred American divorcee , Wallis Simpson .
As has been reported worldwide , Harry and Meghan declared , earlier this month , without bothering to consult Queen Elizabeth , that they wish to “ step back ” from royal duties .
Queen Elizabeth , shocked and “ deeply hurt , ” called an emergency summit to negotiate some kind of settlement [ “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Prince Harry , New Zealand Herald , January 13 , 2020 ] .
She agreed to allow the couple to spend part of their time in Canada , where Meghan wants to live , while still remaining “ tied to the House of Windsor ” [ Queen agrees to let Harry , Meghan move part time to Canada , Associated Press , by Danica Kirka et al.
, January 14 , 2020 ] .
Prince William , next in line to succeed after his father Prince Charles , and William ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to feel “ let down ” and “ incredibly hurt ” by what has transpired [ Prince William ‘ let down , ’ Duchess Kate 'incredibly hurt ' by Harry stepping down , report says , by Nate Day , Fox News , January 12 , 2020 ] .
As I noted of Meghan back in 2018 : “ She ’ s trouble.
” She ’ s selfish , she ’ s Narcissistic ( like Hillary Clinton ) , she ’ s unstable .
She will spread disorder and heartbreak wherever she steps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a fascinating article Meghan Markle ’ s Downfall ( by Rebecca Sullivan , Now To Love , January 14 , 2020 ) .
Her unreasonable behavior has manifested in : • Inviting celebrities rather than family to her wedding ; • Announcing her pregnancy at Princess Eugenie ’ s wedding reception and thus upstaging the bride ; • Moving out of Kensington Palace—seemingly because of “ tension ” between her and William and Kate ; • Losing her temper when Queen Elizabeth told her she couldn ’ t wear a Russian tiara that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Queen Elizabeth told Harry : “ Meghan can not have whatever she wants .
She gets what tiara she 's given by me ” ; • Getting Harry to tell William that William wasn ’ t “ rolling out the red carpet for Meghan , ” causing a breakdown in the brothers ’ relationship .
• Treating valued members of staff so unreasonably that they resigned , in one case after 17 years serving the Royal family : “ Meghan put a lot of demands on her and it ended up with her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of one resignation .
• Treating Kate ’ s staff disrespectfully .
According to an insider : “ Her and Kate fell out when she bollocked Kate ’ s staff.
” • Revealing that she “ feels sorry ” for Kate ( and thus humiliating her ) and publicly complaining about royal life .
I think it ’ s fair to conclude that this manipulative woman has taken Prince Harry , a fun-loving , simple army officer , by his Privates and turned him into the hen-pecked Prince of Woke , ruining his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and shaking an institution which—at least in the opinion Sargon of Akkad—holds Britain together .
Needless to say , Leftists who loath Britain ’ s monarchy and Britain itself , notably Britain ’ s Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn , claim that Markle is a victim of racism ; that the Royal Family , the British media , and even the British public don ’ t accept her because she ’ s half-black .
This accusation has been roundly mocked in the UK [ Jeremy Corbyn is accused of talking ‘ codswallop ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Harry that Meghan media coverage has ‘ racial undertones ’ , by James Tapsfield , Mail Online , January 15 , 2020 ] .
Corbyn ’ s critics , and Sargon of Akkad , are right .
Peoples ’ hatred of Meghan is not directly because of her “ race.
” But a mixed black-white woman , such as Meghan , is more likely to be “ trouble ” because of her race .
As I demonstrated in my earlier article , mixed black-white race people are more than just the sum of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can be positive , because it reduces the likelihood of double doses of harmful mutant genes , meaning that people have better physical and mental health .
For example , as Kevin MacDonald has shown in Individualism and the Western Liberal Tradition , the British are a mixture of three ethnicities : Western Hunter Gatherers , Neolithic Farmers and Indo-Europeans .
That seems to have worked out OK .
However , problems can arise when the genetic distance between the races is very large , such as between blacks and whites .
These @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unstable than either of their parents .
This manifests in anxiety , in depression , and in heightened negative feelings of anger or hatred .
The studies establishing this were recently presented by Danish researcher Emil Kirkegaard [ Is miscegenation bad for your kids ?
, Clear Language , Clear Mind , April 1 , 2017 ] .
In addition , other research , not cited by Kirkegaard , has shown that in the US , when compared to Blacks or Whites , people who are Black-White biracial are “ stark outliers ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ risky and anti-social behavior ” [ The Plight of Mixed Race Adolescents , by Roland Fry et al.
, NBER Working Paper , 2008 ] .
This was also previously found when comparing blacks and mixed black-white people [ Development and risk behavior among African American , Caucasian , and mixed-race adolescents living in high poverty inner-city neighborhoods , by J. Bolland et al.
, American Journal of Community Psychology , 2007 ] .
And there is some evidence that black-white biracial children suffer from low self-esteem , something which can lead to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Development and Recommendations in Therapy , Raushanah Hud-Aleem & Jacqueline Countryman , Psychiatry MMC , 2008 ] .
There are number of reasons of this .
As I noted in my earlier article , a mixed-race relationship involves taking a risk—having a child with a person who is culturally and genetically very different .
So we would expect the offspring to inherit a propensity for risk-taking .
Extreme outbreeding is also associated with a partly-genetic so-called “ fast Life History Strategy ” in which you are programed to “ live fast , die @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plentiful yet unstable ecology .
Such people create weak social bonds—consistent with high divorce rates in mixed marriages—and are evolved to an unstable ecology .
In such an ecology , you may as well “ outbreed ” because you could be wiped out instantaneously and someone genetically very different may have some useful adaptation .
Selection for cooperation is heightened in harsh and stable environments but it is low in “ fast ” ones , so a “ fast ” strategy is associated with low altruism , poor impulse control and high mental @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treatment see Race , Evolution , and Behavior , by J. Philippe Rushton , 1995 . )
Everyone ’ s heard of “ inbreeding depression ” : couples who are genetically too similar , such as cousins , may have genetically unhealthy offspring due to the offspring inheriting double doses of harmful mutant alleles .
However , there ’ s also “ outbreeding depression , ” which takes place when people who are very genetically different have children .
In doing so , they cause alleles to combine which have never previously combined @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so for many thousands of years .
This can have unpredictable -- and usually negative , due to the fine-tuned nature of human genetics -- results .
This is especially true when it comes to complex traits that involve numerous genes working together -- “ polygenic traits ” – such as personality .
The larger the inter-racial gap , the more likely this is to be a problem , explaining why it tends to manifest in the products of black-white relationships .
Interestingly , Rushton highlighted evidence that , in White-Asian relationships , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ physically dissimilar by being much more genetically mentally similar—on traits such as intelligence and personality—than are White-White couples [ Ethnic nationalism , evolutionary psychology and Genetic Similarity Theory , by J. Philippe Rushton , Nations and Nationalism , 2005 ] .
This tendency would reduce outbreeding depression on mental traits .
But if it occurs with Black-White couples , the larger genetic distance—as has been highlighted by Frank Salter in his 2006 book On Genetic Interests—is apparently insufficient to prevent significant outbreeding depression on mental traits .
My guess : The Meghan-Harry marriage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ article , I quoted an expert estimate : “ Three years to separation , five or six years to divorce.
” Harry , because of the weaknesses in personality I identified , is obsequiously giving into Meghan in order to hold it together , at least publicly .
Queen Elizabeth has given them what they want for same reasons , and because a mixed-race royal marriage ending so quickly would look so bad to the Woke anti-monarchist mob .
But remember that the Queen ’ s very popular mother—officially known as the “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the widow of King George VI—intensely disliked black people .
She notoriously told courtier Sir Roy Strong , at a formal dinner : “ Beware the Blackamoors ” [ Queen Mother was racist against black people and I had to censor stories about her to protect her from ridicule says leading diarist , by Katie French , Mail Online , June 5 , 2017 ] .
Perhaps she should have said , to her great-grandson , “ Beware the Half-Blackamoors.

Evolutionary Psychology Says Meghan and Harry Will Divorce.

As I noted of Meghan back in 2018: “She’s trouble.” She’s selfish, she’s narcissistic (like Hillary Clinton), she’s unstable. She will spread disorder and heartbreak wherever she sets foot.
Some of this charted in a fascinating article Meghan Markle’s Downfall (by Rebecca Sullivan, Now To Love, January 14, 2020). Her unreasonable behavior has manifested in:
Inviting celebrities rather than family to her wedding;
Shunning her sickly father;
Announcing her pregnancy at Princess Eugenie’s wedding reception and thus upstaging the bride;
Moving out of Kensington Palace—seemingly because of “tension” between her and William and Kate;
Losing her temper when Queen Elizabeth told her she couldn’t wear a Russian tiara that she liked at her wedding. Apparently Queen Elizabeth told Harry: “Meghan cannot have whatever she wants. She gets what tiara she's given by me”;
Making Kate cry, seemingly by criticising Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress for Meghan’s wedding;
Getting Harry to tell William that William wasn’t “rolling out the red carpet for Meghan,” causing a breakdown in the brothers’ relationship.
Treating valued members of staff so unreasonably that they resigned, in one case after 17 years serving the Royal family: “Meghan put a lot of demands on her and it ended up with her in tears” wrote a British tabloid of one resignation.
Treating Kate’s staff disrespectfully. According to an insider: “Her and Kate fell out when she bollocked Kate’s staff.”
Revealing that she “feels sorry” for Kate (and thus humiliating her) and publicly complaining about royal life.
Virtue-signalling about Global Warming while frequently taking private jets.
I think it’s fair to conclude that this manipulative woman has taken Prince Harry, a fun-loving, simple army officer, by his privates and turned him into the hen-pecked Prince of Woke, ruining his relationship with his family in the process, and shaking an institution which—at least in the opinion Sargon of Akkad—holds Britain together.
Needless to say, Leftists who loath Britain’s monarchy and Britain itself, notably Britain’s Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn, claim that Markle is a victim of racism; that the Royal Family, the British media, and even the British public don’t accept her because she’s half-black. This accusation has been roundly mocked in the UK [Jeremy Corbyn is accused of talking ‘codswallop’ after aides say he agrees with Prince Harry that Meghan media coverage has ‘racial undertones,’ by James Tapsfield, Mail Online, January 15, 2020].

As I demonstrated in my earlier article, mixed black-white race people are more than just the sum of their parts.
Certainly some racial mixing can be positive, because it reduces the likelihood of double doses of harmful mutant genes, meaning that people have better physical and mental health. For example, as Kevin MacDonald has shown in Individualism and the Western Liberal Tradition, the British are a mixture of three ethnicities: Western Hunter Gatherers, Neolithic Farmers and Indo-Europeans.

(For a book length treatment see Race, Evolution, and Behavior, by J. Philippe Rushton, 1995.)

The implications of Noah Berlatsky's Trump voters motivated by racism may be violating the Constitution. Can they be stopped?, January 17, 2020 are obvious.
Since the secret ballot makes it impossible to determine who votes Republican and therefore is racist, the secret ballot also is racist and has to be abolished. Alternatively, only comrades should be allowed on the ballot.
Better still, the ballot should not be secret and only comrades should be allowed on the ballot to prevent Badwhites from failing to vote for the comrades.

Earlier : NBC : Time to Make Voting Republican Illegal Because It 's Racist Noah Berlatsky 's argument yesterday on NBC ( Trump voters motivated by racism may be violating the Constitution .
Can they be stopped ? )
that what Trump voters do in the privacy of the voting booth is unconstitutional is literally insane .
It also involves a lot of things that are true only in Berlatsky 's own mind .
( Contra Berlatsky , Mexicans are rapists , and crime was going up . )
But if Trump voters are , thanks to Berlatsky 's mind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , voting for a candidate who implicitly represents their racial interests , how much more are African-American voters , especially those who voted for President Obama ?
Blacks vote 90 per cent Democratic , for explicitly racial reasons , even in years when there 's no black candidate to vote for .
When Obama was the nominee , they voted at the 98 per cent level for the candidate who represented their race .
And Obama 's racial appeals were n't any kind of dog whistle—they were a screaming klaxon .
Obama said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he 'd look like Trayvon '' .
Obama supported the Ferguson rioters .
When blacks rioted in Ferguson , Obama sent in Federal agents ... to investigate the Ferguson PD .

Earlier: NBC: Time to Make Voting Republican Illegal Because It's Racist
Noah Berlatsky's argument yesterday on NBC (Trump voters motivated by racism may be violating the Constitution. Can they be stopped?) that what Trump voters do in the privacy of the voting booth is unconstitutional is literally insane.
It also involves a lot of things that are true only in Berlatsky's own mind. (Contra Berlatsky, Mexicans are rapists, and crime was going up.)
But if Trump voters are, thanks to Berlatsky's mind reading, "motivated" by racism, voting for a candidate who implicitly represents their racial interests, how much more are African-American voters, especially those who voted for President Obama?
Blacks vote 90 per cent Democratic, for explicitly racial reasons, even in years when there's no black candidate to vote for.
When Obama was the nominee, they voted at the 98 per cent level for the candidate who represented their race.
And Obama's racial appeals weren't any kind of dog whistle—they were a screaming klaxon.
Obama said "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon." Obama supported the Ferguson rioters. When blacks rioted in Ferguson, Obama sent in Federal agents...to investigate the Ferguson PD.
Obama supported the Baltimore rioters. The Obama White House sent an aide–a black aide–to Freddie Gray’s funeral, while Baltimore was burning in 2015.
When a black gunman, inspired by Black Lives Matter and Obama's own rhetoric, killed five cops in Dallas, Obama said it was “very hard to untangle the motives of this shooter.”
So, Mr. Berlatsky, can anything be done about these racist votes?

Joe Biden wants to get rid of Big Tech’s most prized protection. In an interview with the New York Times last week, Biden said he wants to revoke Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act “immediately.” Section 230 protects tech giants from normal publisher liabilities, exempting them from being sued for libel over posts published on their platforms.
Biden wants to eliminate this protection because Facebook spreads “fake news.” [Interview With Joe Biden, by New York Times Editorial Board, New York Times, January 17, 2020]
“[The New York Times] can’t write something you know to be false and be exempt from being sued. But [Mark Zuckerberg] can. The idea that it’s a tech company is that Section 230 should be revoked, immediately should be revoked, number one. For Zuckerberg and other platforms,” the former vice president told the Times. “It should be revoked because it is not merely an internet company. It is propagating falsehoods they know to be false.”
Biden is the first Democratic presidential candidate to endorse this proposal. The Watcher has previously noted that some prominent Democrats, such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have entertained the idea.
VDARE.com readers probably have some familiarity with Section 230. Free speech advocates want President Trump and Republicans to target this protection in order to defend the First Amendment online. Part of the reason tech giants receive this privilege is because they are assumed to operate as neutral political forums. We all know they don’t operate as neutral forums.
Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley introduced a bill last summer that aimed to put the pressure on tech giants that suppress free speech with revocation of this protection. Tech giants would have to prove they respect free speech to keep Section 230 protections.
Biden’s aim is far different and more insidious. He wants this privilege revoked so Big Tech censors more. Liberals like the former vice president see Facebook and Twitter as hotbeds of racism and Russian disinformation. So they want the tech giants to crack down and only allow opinions and information that the New York Times would approve of.
Biden’s proposal demonstrates how a Democratic president will prioritize tech censorship and make it worse. Trump is not perfect, but at least he acknowledges tech censorship and wants to do something about it.

The U.S .
Ambassador to South Korea , retired 4 star admiral Harry Harris ( appointed by Trump a couple of years ago ) , has recently grown a mustache , which has become a flashpoint in South Korea .
Harris is half-Japanese and many personages in Imperial Japan during the era when Japan ruled Korea , 1910-1945 , such as Hirohito , Tojo , and almost all Japanese governor-generals of Korea , wore mustaches .
Of course , being half-white , Harris ’ s mustache is more impressive than that of most of these Japanese figures .
Racism , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are flipping out over a US ambassador ’ s mustache ( CNN ) It might just be the most bizarre criticism of a US ambassador in recent memory .

On the surface , the critiques border on ridiculousness .
It ’ s just a small patch of hair .

The gist of the criticism is that with the mustache , Harris resembles the reviled Japanese leaders who ruled the Korean Peninsula with an iron fist during the Japanese occupation .

Racism, history and politics: Why South Koreans are flipping out over a US ambassador’s mustache By Joshua Berlinger, CNN Updated 1604 GMT (0004 HKT) January 17, 2020 (CNN) It might just be the most bizarre criticism of a US ambassador in recent memory. Harry Harris, Washington’s envoy to South Korea, has been subjected to heated vitriol on social media and by anonymous netizens for his mustache. That small piece of facial hair has, as Harris put it, “for some reason become a point of some fascination here in the media.” “If you watch social media it’s all out there,” Harris, the former head of US Pacific Forces, told a group of foreign reporters Thursday. On the surface, the critiques border on ridiculousness. It’s just a small patch of hair. But Harris’ ‘stache has sparked discussions on topics much bigger than the ambassador himself: the still-raw emotions among many Koreans about the legacy of Japanese occupation; the prevalence of racism in such a homogenous society; and cracks appearing in the future of the decades-old alliance between Seoul and Washington as the two sides attempt to reach a deal on how to cover the cost of US troops stationed in South Korea, amid reports that President Donald Trump demanded a 400% pay increase.
I once got a randomly dialed abusive phone call from South Korea blaming a Nippo-American conspiracy after Apolo Anton Ohno edged out a South Korean skater for a short track speed skating medal in a Winter Olympics. Generally, short track speed skating races would always end with everybody falling down and the South Koreans failing to finish while the American Ohno would sneak his skate across the finish line for a medal.
The gist of the criticism is that with the mustache, Harris resembles the reviled Japanese leaders who ruled the Korean Peninsula with an iron fist during the Japanese occupation. But Harris isn’t Japanese, he’s a US citizen. And calling him out for his Japanese ancestry would almost assuredly be considered racist in the United States.
South Korea is a homogenous society without racial diversity like the United States. The CIA World Factbook doesn’t even list other ethnic groups living in South Korea on the country’s page, instead just referring to the country as “homogenous.” Mixed-race families are rare and xenophobia remains surprisingly common. “I didn’t grow a mustache because of my Japanese heritage, because of the independence movement of Korea or even because of my dad.

Growing facial hair allows a man to feel he’s accomplishing something every day. He may not have got much else done, but by God, he’s added another day’s growth to this mustache/beard/sideburns/whatever.
On the other hand, the job of an ambassador is political not meritocratic, so being sensitive to local sensitivities is an important part of the job.

Consider the Virginia Supreme Court’s refusal to hear an appeal of a lower court ruling, which upheld an emergency order from Democrat Gov. Ralph “Black Face” Northam, who had banned guns for Second Amendment protestors at the state capitol.
Northam had banned guns on the Capitol grounds from Friday night through Tuesday, meaning those planning to gather for Monday's rally will not, unlike previous years, be allowed to carry firearms. The restriction may impact how many people attend the event and divert those who prefer not to be disarmed to other areas around Richmond. [Virginia Supreme Court Leaves Governor’s Capitol Gun Ban in Place, by Stephen Gutowski, Washington Free Beacon, January 18, 2020]

GOP Virginia Sen. Amanda Chase went further. She flatly stated that Northam set a trap. Her warning to patriots on her Facebook page is worth reprising in full:
I want you to be aware of how we are being set up. Does the Patriot Act ring a bell? Does the National Defense Authorization Act ring a bell?

But more recently the MSM has decided it’s safe to acknowledge that Northam’s victory in 2017 and the debacle in 2019 that upended GOP control of the General Assembly was also propelled by mass non-white immigration to Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, and Richmond and suburbs, where non-white immigrants voted for Democrats because of their plans to enact gun control. As the New York Times gloated:
