As long as affirmative action exists, you have to allow whites to
question the basis for their persecution. Pretty obvious that SA knows
as well as anyone that the evidence says that blacks are mentally
inferior and their failure is NOT due to a conspiracy among whites to
keep them down.

From Scientific American…

But another part of me wonders whether research on race and
intelligence—given the persistence of racism in the U.S. and elsewhere–
should simply be banned. I don’t say this lightly. For the most part,
I am a hard-core defender of freedom of speech and science. But
research on race and intelligence—no matter what its conclusions are—
seems to me to have no redeeming value.

Far from it. The claims of researchers like Murray, Herrnstein and
Richwine could easily become self-fulfilling, by bolstering the
confirmation bias of racists and by convincing minority children,
their parents and teachers that the children are innately, immutably
inferior.

Why, given all the world’s problems and needs, would someone choose to
investigate this thesis? What good could come of it? Are we really
going to base policies on immigration, education and other social
programs on allegedly innate racial differences? Not even the Heritage
Foundation advocates a return to such eugenicist policies.

Perhaps instead of arguing over the evidence for or against theories
linking race and IQ we should see them as simply irrelevant to serious
intellectual discourse. I’m sympathetic toward the position spelled
out by Noam Chomsky in his usual blunt fashion in his 1987 book
Language and Problems of Knowledge:

“Surely people differ in their biologically determined qualities. The
world would be too horrible to contemplate if they did not. But
discovery of a correlation between some of these qualities is of no
scientific interest and of no social significance, except to racists,
sexists and the like. Those who argue that there is a correlation
between race and IQ and those who deny this claim are contributing to
racism and other disorders, because what they are saying is based on
the assumption that the answer to the question makes a difference; it
does not, except to racists, sexists and the like.”

Scientists and pundits who insist on recycling racial theories of
intelligence portray themselves as courageous defenders of scientific
truth. I see them not as heroes but as bullies, picking on those who
are already getting a raw deal in our society. It’s time to put these
destructive theories to rest once and for all

Discovery is another mag that gimps, wimps, and evades.

those who use their skin color for an advantage are to be ignored.
