Perhaps HN isn't the best place to persistently litigate the validity, merits and implications of The Bell Curve, which is the direction that many of your arguments (this thread among them) seem to take.
Of course, The Bell Curve, and the arguments contained within are a best assumption as to what "on racial issues, the white supremacists seem to be factually correct (mostly)" is referring to.
Also, you tend to fall back on claiming to be a harbinger of unadulterated knowledge ("I choose not to couch my facts in language meant to obscure the point") while ignoring the implicit (or explicit, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13170988 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13170988 ) invective contained in your language. I see no loss of descriptive accuracy w.r.t. the article between "deadbeat blacks" and "African-American defaulters", yet using the latter avoids the minefield of historical connotations that the former has.
