I thought that the research that Murray interpreted had been done by other people. Coming at this from the left, I feel it might be better to suggest alternative interpretations of those results than to just avoid any discussion on the whole area. Another thing that correlates really strongly with black people in the US is their ancestors having lived in slavery. Those ancestors were restricted in their freedom to pick a partner compared with the white population of the US at the time. This could result in genetic differences between the two groups.

> Coming at this from the left, I feel it might be better to suggest alternative interpretations of those results than to just avoid any discussion on the whole area. A lot of people have done this. The Bell Curve is full of problems, both in the sourced research being completely false (for example, straight up lies about populations being tested) as well as Murray's conclusions drawn from research. Papers and books have been published. What else do you want from the community?
