The level of unconscious racism in this thread is amazing. Whenever the subject of race comes up and someone sites a statistic purporting to demonstrate "African" or "black" intellectual inferiority, I suggest he imagine a seismologist who stated, "Black earthquakes are inherently inferior to white earthquakes."
"I don't get it."
"Exactly. Why the hell would any reputable seismologist care about white or black earthquakes?"
- seekingtruth 12y agoSeriously. I like the example of bears, since it allows us to remain in the realm of biology. I mean, does any reputable biologist posit meaningful differences between polar bears & black bears? It's absurd. One bear is black and the other is white. What else does that possibly tell us about their behavior or other attributes?
