Race & Medicine: A Reply from David Duke
Dear Dr. Esteban Burchard,
I read the following quote from you in an article about race and medicine titled “First Do No Harm” that appeared in Asian Weekly on March 9.
The sociologists are afraid that one group will use this sort of information to try to subjugate another group, Dr. Burchard explains. “That’s the fear. I mean, David Duke probably loves the kind of research we do because it seems to play right into his supremacist views.”
I realize that you know little about me other than what you have read in the press, but I am not a supremacist; I don’t believe any race should be supreme over another or control another. I never have stated that I think Whites are superior, for superior or inferior is a subjective idea. I think each race is best suited for the unique society it has created. I prefer to live in a society primarily of my own people and one reflective of my own heritage and values; and I believe that this sentiment, honestly admitted, is certainly true of the desires of most people on earth.
I think the societies created by the people in Europe and America are generally more compatible to the races that created them in the first place. This is because these societies were expressions of the genetic and cultural soul of the people who created them. This tautological truth can be said for Asian and African societies and their creators–indeed every people.
I do believe that different population groups have different characteristics in important areas that reflect everything from disease rates to tolerance for medications–even psychological characteristics and tendencies. We are learning that there is a genetic component to this on both an individual and ethnic level.
I do think your work and others who show real biological differences between races is important. You show that race is truly real, not a societal construct or some sort of conspiracy theory. As you know, there are about 135 breeds (races) of dogs that are all part of the same species. They can all interbreed just as the human races can. Who can deny the differences in appearance, character, and physiology between dog breeds that can vary as much as the Maltese and the Great Dane? Is the obvious difference between dog breeds just a societal construct, a myth created by dog breeders? Are we so blinded by egalitarian dogma that we can’t see the obvious differences in human races and their expressions in culture? As you are well aware, dog races, similarly to human races, have diseases that are specific to them.
The truth is, when it comes to human racial differences, we live in a world in which believing that “there is no such thing as human races” has become a religion, and those who recognize the realities of human races have become heretics who are called “racists.”
One can love his own people and desire to preserve his expression of humanity without hating or seeking to oppress others.
I respect your work and think that it is important for improving the life quality of all races.
I Just wanted you to know what my actual beliefs are, in case you are quoted again.
I am not a supremacist. In fact, I reject and condemn any kind of racial, ethnic, or religious supremacism. All people have a right to live according to their own heritage, to preserve their own values, their own character. It is the globalists and racial deniers who want to destroy human diversity and ultimately the freedom of all peoples. In a true sense the racial deniers are genocidists; that is, they seek to destroy the unique racial expressions of life among mankind.
Respectfully,
David Duke, PhD
