Scientists discover white male
hate gene, others blame God
- by Victor Payan
Pocho Christian Pseudoscience Monitor
CHICAGO (APN)-Scientists at Northwestern University have released their
findings from a landmark twenty year study on white male aggressiveness.
The study, titled "Male Pattern Whiteness: Genesis or Genetics?"
seeks to determine whether there is a genetic relationship between male
whiteness and the wave of white-originated violence that is sweeping the
country.
"There has always been a history of violent acts perpetrated by white
males against non whites in the United States, but until recently these
were either deemed random acts of violence or were dismissed as being part
of the 'good old days,'" says Northwestern researcher Seymour Gabachos.
"Then we began to notice that these events were not random at all
but in fact were the result of many months of intensive planning and festering
on the part of the perpetrators."
The study claims to have identified a so-called "hate gene" in
whitemales and alleges that evidence of this genetic tendency toward senseless
violence, which researchers have dubbed Male Pattern Whiteness (MPW), can
be traced through the centuries using case studies.
"The Pilgrims, who were fleeing Male Pattern Whiteness in England,
brought the disease to America when they found themselves on a continent
full of people who were much less white than themselves," says Gabachos.
These findings come at a time when the nation is desperately looking for
answers regarding such recent acts of senseless white male originated violence
as those in Colorado, Georgia, Ohio, California and the anti-minority shooting
spree by Benjamin Smith in Indiana and Illinois, or the recent Atlanta
shootings.
"First we tested our hypothesis on lab rats," says Gabachos.
"Thewhite rats were by and large more hateful, spiteful and resentful
thanMexican rats, Asian rats or African rats. We have yet to do acomparative
analysis using Canadian rats, but our findings are prettystrong."
The findings of the Northwestern study paint a sobering picture ofthe characteristics
of Male Pattern Whiteness. "The human white male subjects, particularly
the ones who fell in the category of White Unemployed Suburban Supremacists
(WUSS) showed a keenly developed sense of what we call the stockpile syndrome,"
says Gabachos. "While the rats in the study could find cheese in a
maze, humans with a high WUSS factor could locate canned food and ammunition
with eerie precision. Both the white rats and the human subjects would
then stockpile the materials in a dark hole they seemed to dig almost as
if by instinct."
Critics of the study, which include creationists and fundamentalistChristian
groups, charge that this is another attempt by secular science todebunk
Christianity. They cite various examples from the Bible in which God specifically
instructs his people to kill others who are not like them and then take
their land.
"It's not genetics, it's God plain and simple," says public accesstelevangelist
Holly Point Bullitt. "In the Bible it says that on the seventhday,
God rested, but on the eighth day, he opened up a can of whup-ass."
A spokesman for the controversial World Church of the Creator, to which
spree killer Benjamin Smith belonged, commented "If Jesus were alive
today, he'd be making pipe bombs and shooting at people from a truck."
Other critics maintain that labelling an entire race, gender andreligion
as ethnically hostile at the genetic level will lead to discrimination
by insurance companies, real estate agents, law enforcement agencies, school
bullies and assault weapons dealers.
Dr. Gabachos defends the findings of his study.
"As scientists we look for correlating factors. In all of the caseswhere
we found MPW, the subjects were white, the subjects were male, and the
subjects were Christian. That, and all of the subjects owned guns. So how
do we cure this? Do we take away the guns? Do we take away the maleness?
The whiteness? The religion? Maybe a national identification card is the
answer. I don't know. But this is a national problem." When queried
about the male violence of Mexican serial killer Rafael Resendez Ramirez,
who was not white, Dr. Gabachos explained, "Ramirez was a firm believer
in assimilation, and was just trying to fit in to his adopted country."
Dr. Gabachos added, "We are also investigating a possible genetic
link between Rafael Resendez Ramirez, Lyle and Erik Menendez Resendez Ramirez,
and the 'Night Stalker' Richard Menendez Resendez Ramirez. Another possibility,
which Resendez Ramirez's own family attests, is that the man had a mental
condition, which Mexican doctors describe as "loco en la cabeza."
