Race Realism? What's the deal?
Lately I've come into a topic about race covered by some white people who claim that there is a white genocide. They seem to like playing on skull shapes and brain sizes between race and how it supposedly corresponds with IQ levels between whites, blacks and asians as well as using the fact that blacks apparently have low IQ as a means of placing the blame of crime on them and them alone (they also conveniently throw in the idea of sterilizing those that have low IQ's as a means of being able to "progress" the human race forward).
What I seem to notice most of all is that they hate being called "racists", however, in one person's video (Libertarian Realist) he seems to use a lot of racist overtones and avoids using classic racist terms in a carefully worded rhetoric of deep concern that seeks to push selfish and hate-filled ulterior motives. So what is to be made of these people exactly?

Well, 'Libertarian Realist' is no doubt a racist.
He claims not to be a racist based on the idea that, since his data comes from science, then there is no racism.
So he argues that science has proven that blacks have a lower IQ than whites. But the point is, scientists have also challenged the validity of IQ tests as a measure for intelligence. So then all of his debate becomes mute.
No, regarding the white genocide, is seems to me to be a hysterical argument. Being genocide "The systematic and widespread extermination or attempted extermination of an entire national, racial, religious, or ethnic group", then there should be someone deliberately acting against to exterminate whites. But the fact is that the decreasing white demographics is the result of racial mixing, racial pride and immigration, not at all because of the killing of whites. So there is definitively no genocide.
Measuring skull shapes and sizes was a 'method' developed in the late XIX century, disproved during the early XXth Century so there is no legitimate science there.
Anyway, racism will survive on peoples beliefs, updated through new forms of justifying old ideas. no surprises there.
