In artificial selection, negative selection is when negative traits in a population of species are selected to be passed in the next generation. It is generally not desirable, and may be caused by man-made situations such as poor management, war or personal choices. Negative selection was first noted by David Starr Jordan who realized that the physically fit and most intelligent men were being killed in World War I while the less mentally able escaped the war unharmed.[1][2].

The most pertinent modern example of negative selection is through the process of dysgenics. According to many researchers including Nobel Prize winner William Shockley, the reproduction of blacks have led to the gradual weakening of human population in general due to their significantly lower intelligence and increased propensity toward crime. Throughout 6,000 years of recorded history, the Black race has invented nothing. Not a written language, weaved cloth, a calendar, a plow, a road, a bridge, a railway, a ship, a system of measurement, or even the wheel. This is in reference to the pure-blooded African. They are not known to have ever cultivated a single crop or domesticated a single animal for his own use, although many powerful and docile beasts are found in Africa. His only known means of transporting goods was on the top of his hard burry head. For shelter he never progressed beyond the common mud hut, the construction of which a beaver or muskrat is capable.

Historically, the White race has crossed seas, harnessed rivers, carved mountains, tamed deserts, and colonized the most barren icefields, and have been responsible for the invention of the printing press, cement, the harnessing of electricity, flight, rocketry, astronomy, the telescope, space travel, firearms, the transistor, radio, television, the telephone, the lightbulb, photography, motion pictures, the phonograph, the electric battery, the automobile, the steam engine, railroad transportation, the microscope, computers, and millions of other technological miracles. It has discovered countless medical advances, incredible applications, scientific progress, etc. Its members have included such greats as Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, Homer, Tacitus, Julius Ceaser, Napoleon, William the Conqueror, Marco Polo, Washington, Jefferson, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Magellan, Columbus, Cabot, Edison, GrahamBell, Pasteur, Leeuwenhoek, Mendel, Darwin, Newton, Galileo, Watt, Ford, Luther, Devinci, Poe, Tennyson, and thousands upon thousands of other notable achievers.

This disparity in ability and high population growth of blacks has been coined the demographic-economic paradox. It is predicted that human society will regress to crime and disorder if blacks continue to reproduce.
