surprising since we are not supposed to know about him.
An open and honest conversation on race...
Have there been studies on race and intelligence that show that the hierarchy is NOT asians then whites then blacks...?
I don't know, but i'm not aware of one. They all seem to come to the same conclusion. They are all wrong. All racist. All unprintable.
I think a fair question is:
"Why would we presume that every race on the planet has EXACTLY the same abilities in intellect, emotion, athleticism, psychology, immunities and energy?
Do all breeds of dogs have the same intellect? Are they all the same size, speed and temperament?
Is any part of that nature, or is it all nurture? One hundred percent nurture, no difference in the intellect and temperament of a pit bull and a golden retriever.
Whites are not as athletic as blacks. Asians are not as athletic as whites. It's the reverse of the studies on intellect. Does nature have any responsibility there?
The article in the NYTimes (duh) was disgraceful. It repeatedly said the studies on race and intellect were bunk, but offered no evidence. And all the people who took the study as science apologized. An apology was offered for offering a toast about the author's contributions to a totally different subject.
“I reject his views as despicable,” Dr. Lander wrote to Broad scientists. “They have no place in science, which must welcome everyone. I was wrong to toast, and I’m sorry.’’
HIS VIEWS are despicable? Or the research showed despicable results?
Science? Why not use science to prove it wrong?
But as he said, he is a non person.
Libs say they are all about science when they are talking about global warming. Political science is science, when it's convenient and politically correct.
But when study after study after study gives results that are not PC, science must be ignored.
And i am not saying there isn't science to the contrary, but the left argues that global warming exists and will kill us all be cause "science" says so. They say incorrectly that sane people argue emotionally against GW science because conservatives are greedy, don't care about children and make money of the depletion of the earth's resources and our ultimate demise.
But when science gives results that they don't like, that doesn't fit the template, they resort to emotional, whiny reactions and name calling.
"Science" is inconvenient when the truth does not fit the narrative.
Prejudice in biomedical research is why 1.5% of grant applications go to blacks.
Is prejudice the reason that 100% of starting cornerbacks in the NFL are black?
Why can't there be a grown up conversation about the multiple studies showing racial disparity?
Why can't there be a grown up discussion about why blacks are better athletes?
Why can't there be a grown up discussion about why we should expect and actually demand, that everyone believe that all races are EXACTLY the same in EVERY way.
And by the way, the same is being said about sex. A woman can do anything a man can do.
No, she can't. Nature, nurture whatever...the sexes are different.
And for the especially stupid on the board who say that race is a social construct, if you respond here with other than name calling, please explain what a social construct is and how a 500 year old skeleton can reveal the race of the person.
