Rather than answering the question about your opinion about “the whole race/IQ debate” (your words), you’re going out of your way to… what? Admonish me for being rude for bringing up the literal topic at hand (a public writer and possible reasons why he would have negative attention)? Also, I don’t think “the whole race/IQ debate” is a real thing that people engage in for germane reasons, so you didn’t do a stellar job not answering the question :)

I didn't admonish you, I explained why you were getting downvoted and flagged. And you told me I was racist. What more is there to say?

  That’s fascinating because I didn’t ask why I’m getting downvoted, thanks for the uh, friendly unrequested… help with… internet points? It’s fascinating that you cannot actually respond to my original post at all, yet are compelled to post nonetheless. I admire your sense of civic duty, because it’s definitely not some silly nonsense meant to avoid discussing the subject matter that I’ve brought up in order to carry water for an apparently quite-popular race scientist. Let’s try a fun experiment: Can you respond to this question?: “Considering the fact that the guy that’s whining about not being liked enough happens to write about race science, do you think maybe that that could contribute to people not liking him?” To clarify, it’s a yes or no question as to whether or not you’re capable of answering that question in the negative or affirmative. Also I didn’t call you a racist, I implied that you may (for a kaleidoscope’s worth of possible reasons) be going out of your way defending one. There are plenty of reasons that people carry water for racist kooks that don’t involve being in the club! I’m not sure what you’ve gotten from this interaction aside from maybe scoring points with some folks that don’t take issue with race science. Not everybody is a full blown racist, there are also enthusiastic lackeys for those that are. There are people that will defend horrible shit because it makes them look cool in their social groups, hoping to gain points with folks that will literally never notice them, for example.

      Your answer was no, you cannot answer the question. Good luck in your future endeavors! Edit: it’s genuinely hilarious in a non-ironic actual belly laugh way that folks can show up and pretend to be Above It All when it comes to little details about their brazen statements in support of their uh, beliefs? Required line of discourse from an employer or hopeful friend? You showed up, gave me unsolicited “advice” to make sure I don’t get downvoted, and you got mad when I pointed out that I never asked for that advice. And you still literally cannot answer a yes or no question. I wish you well in the future, particularly about your behavior and allegiances :) My question was literally posing a yes or no question, then asking whether or not you were capable of answering that yes or no question. It’s a trip that you’re someho we incapable of answering whether or not you’re allowed to answer the yes or no question (I didn’t require that you answer the other question. I just asked if you were allowed to answer it in the first place. )

        You do not seem to be attempting to engage in productive discussion but rather seem like you are trying to start a fight.

        Hey why do you feel so uncomfortable saying anything whatsoever about race science while full-throatedly defending a person that ostensibly engages in that? It’s a simple question: What do you think about this race science guy that you’re defending? “Good” would be an answer, “Bad but I support his speech” would be an answer, but a refusal to respond at all while still attacking me kind of reads as “I agree with race science but do not want to admit so publicly” But you’re way smarter than me, so clearly your response is something so fancy that not even text posted on the internet could convey your nuanced definitely-not-racist opinion. It’s so fancy and nuanced that only folks of your… “caliber” could understand?
