SIGNIFICANT
RACIAL DISTINCTIONS
1. If one takes a universal view of humanity, it
will be evident, sooner or later, that most people on this planet are not
blue-eyed, still less green- or grey-eyed, but brown-eyed to one degree or
another, and that brown eyes are therefore more characteristic of the human
race in general than any other colour, including blue.
2. I like to think of this racial distinction
between a brown-eyed majority and a blue- and/or green-eyed minority as akin to
an iceberg, the greater bulk of which remains submerged beneath the surface of
the sea as its tip thrusts up into the sky.
3. Humanity, it seems, is akin to an iceberg, in
which the brown-eyed majority effectively live beneath the surface of life
while the blue-eyed minority thrust up into the sky. In other words, the brown-eyed are akin to
the submerged bulk of the iceberg and the blue-eyed to the lofty tip of it
which has climbed above the sea level towards the sky, as though from subconsciousness to consciousness.
4. This is, of course, an oversimplification,
but it strikes me as a credible metaphor for the division of humanity between a
brown-eyed majority and a blue-eyed minority, the former of which more often
than not - and especially in the case of dark-skinned peoples - tend to lead
and to respect a lifestyle that is closer to the earth, more earthly and
mundane, one could say, than loftily aloof from the earth in some sky-biased or
'ivory-tower' idealism or, better, transcendentalism which spurns the flesh the
better to cultivate the spirit and/or soul.
5. Again I am of course generalizing, which, as
a sort of artist-philosopher, I feel I have every right to do; but not, I
believe, without due consideration to the facts of life as reflected in the
world around me, not least of all in relation to north London, which thereby
justifies me in taking this line.
6. So the airy blue-eyed are akin to the tip of
a racial iceberg which, originating in
7. And these dark-eyed peoples are more characteristic,
I shall contend, of the world in general, and typify, it seems to me, a mundane
mean which fights shy, even if unconsciously, of airy transcendentalism, of too
sky-biased an orientation, even of the preconditions of that in some crucifixional symbolism in which the flesh has been
renounced.
8. Mysticism, with them, is never or rarely pure
and simple in relation to the sky, and hence air. It is never or rarely - Far Eastern
exceptions to the rule notwithstanding - divorced from the earth, and free from
some kind of mundane significance, whether sexual, animal, vegetative, social,
or whatever.
9. It is not the traditional brown-eyed regions
of the world which uphold the most exalted mysticism, such that fights shy of
sexual or natural connotations, with or without the aid of the Cross, but
rather the Christian West traditionally, and then more in relation to the
blue-eyed regions of
10. For while Nordics and other North Europeans
may have divorced their mysticism, their spirituality, their religiosity, from
the earth, the Latins and other South Europeans have,
by and large, persisted in upholding some form of earth mysticism, not least of
all sexually, which though distinct in its Marian connotations from the more
deeply traditional earthiness of Africa and Asia nevertheless overlaps with -
and necessarily blends-in to - those cultures which are more openly sexual and
natural.
11. Thus the dichotomy between the blue-eyed North
and the brown-eyed South of Europe, while embracing two different Christian
traditions, one of which overlaps with the heathenistic
world, is only part of a perspective which extends a lot farther south and east
traditionally, to embrace peoples of non-European and non-Christian descent,
most of whom would be, or have been, more deeply mundane, and heathen, than
their Latin or Hellenistic counterparts.
12. Be that as it may, it seems racially
demonstrable to me that the brown-eyed are neither as transcendental nor as
idealistic as their blue-eyed counterparts, and that wherever a significant
percentage of blue-eyed humanity are gathered together, as in Northern Europe
traditionally, there and there alone exist all that is most morally elevated
and spiritually progressive, all that is capable of scaling the airy heights of
genuine mysticism.
13. Elsewhere, the brown-eyed have their mundane,
earthly way, or ways (if we distinguish blacks from coloureds of one persuasion
or another), in heathenistic defiance of and/or
opposition to a more elevated spiritual order, call it Christian or
transcendental, or whatever.
14. Frankly, I can't see things changing very much
with them; but I can see the threat to
either the existence or the possibility of a higher culture, a mystical and
air-oriented culture, which such peoples pose to North Europeans, and blue-eyed
North Europeans in particular, by living among them, especially if in such
great numbers that they become a serious genetic threat to their very
existence, and not simply an ethical or cultural irrelevance the very presence
of which confirms a moral relativism which cannot but undermine moral
confidence.
15. For sooner or later interbreeding is likely to
occur - as, in fact, is already happening - and the offspring of such mixed
relationships are more likely to be brown-eyed than blue-eyed, thereby
diminishing the racial pool of Nordic and/or Celtic humanity, and turning the
society in which they live increasingly mundane and earth-centred.
16. I, for one, would prefer that, in a hundred
years' time, there were still blue-eyed people in the world, that they hadn't
been bred out of existence through interbreeding with the brown-eyed majority,
particularly persons of coloured origins, so that, contrary to my liking, the world
of that time was even more earthly than today, with sexual and natural
mysticism everywhere the prevailing ideology.
17. I fear that in some countries, including
England, this process (as it might be called) is already well under way, and is
likely to gather momentum, both as the coloured peoples breed among themselves
and subsequently interbreed with whites, in the foreseeable future. For such countries little or nothing can be
done, and they deserve the fate, in a manner of speaking, which they have
imperialistically brought upon themselves.
18. For other countries, like Ireland, such a
process, for a variety of reasons, not least historically, is much less
advanced, and therefore there is still hope that the process as it exists can
be controlled and regulated in a manner which will not only safeguard their
existing culture but, more importantly, enable a new and higher culture to
develop in relation to what I have elsewhere called 'Kingdom Come'. I include, besides
