Wilfred Reilly
Wilfred Reilly is an American Professor of Political Science and Intelligence & Counter-Intelligence, who teaches at Kentucky State University, a historically Black college located in the Kentucky state capital of Frankfort[1]. Dr. Reilly holds a PhD in Political Science from Southern Illinois University and a law degree (J.D.) from the University of Illinois [2]. He is the author of The $50,000,000 Question[3], published by the academic publisher Scholar's Press, as well as a number of refereed journal articles in publications such as The Journal of Contemporary Applied Sciences and the American International Journal of Humanities and Social Science [4] His second book, Hate Crime Hoax: How the Left is Selling a Fake Race War, is scheduled for publication in late February 2019.[5]
A focus of Reilly's research is conducting actual empirical testing of claims made by the political Right and Left - about, for example, the existence of widespread "white privilege" - which are often very influential but rarely well-supported by scientific data. His book The $50,000,000 Question tests the claim made during the 1990s by left-wing intellectuals such as Andrew Hacker [6] that the average white American would have to be paid tens of millions of dollars to become Black (were this possible), and that this figure illustrates both the intense racism of most whites and the value of white status in an "institutionally racist" society. Reilly to some extent disproved this claim, surveying several thousand people for his collegiate dissertation and discovering that (1) people of all backgrounds are very reluctant to change core traits like race and sexual orientation and (2) minorities like Blacks and Asians are more attached to their race than whites [3]. For another, as yet unpublished, conference paper, Reilly tested the actual extent of "white privilege" by measuring the effect of more than a dozen characteristics (race, sex, social class, height, weight, IQ, etc.) on dependent variables such income and happiness. Whiteness had a slight positive effect on privilege, with all other characteristics adjusted for, but this was dwarfed by the effects of poverty, social class overall, female sex, sexual orientation, and other traits [7].
Reilly has recently attracted considerable national attention as an opponent of the racialist alt-right, a movement he has described as "a joke." Following a regionally televised debate with American Renaissance founder Jared Taylor [8], Reilly was described by the website counter-currents.com as desiring the genocide of whites [9] and by far-right-wing watchdog site Judas Watch as one of the most dangerous men in the world [10]. Reilly has described himself as having been too "glib" during the debate with Taylor [8], but appears to have been generally declared the winner by local and national media. He does make several substantive points against the alt-right, pointing out that many characteristics which alt-righters describe as genetic are in fact largely culturally determined ("Irish IQs have increased by 20 points since World War One"), and that Caucasian groups outside high-income Western Europe do worse on tests of traits like IQ than not only Western Europeans but also North Asians or West Africans [8].
Reilly currently lives in "South Frankfort," an eclectic working-class district of the KY capital city, with his partner, a Great Dane, his pet cat, and an arsenal of weaponry "in case them damn Nazis come round."
