I'm amazed that no one has brought up to glaringly obvious elephant in the room <b>eugenics.</b> it was a racist ideology supported by  Darwin's cousin, Frances Galton and later by Nazi ideology. The curmudgeon interviewed in this vid actually stated that  he <b>hoped</b> he was not a racist, while at the same time obviously beginning with the conclusion he is determined to derive: that minorities are genetically inferior to "Caucasians."<br><br>Sorry to be verbose, but I'm reproducing the entry on Wikirational:<br>Richard Haier is a racialist pseudoscientist who is a former president[1] of the International Society for Intelligence Research and currently Editor-in-chief of Intelligence,[2] a peer-reviewedjourna6l that has controversially allowed proponents of hereditarianism and racialist pseudoscience to sit on its Editorial Board, as well as published papers by far-right authors, many associated with the Pioneer Fund.[3] Haier has often acted as an apologist for scientific racism[4][5] and is sometimes named as a "respectable" advocate of pseudoscientific theories of race, IQ," and genetics.[6]<br><br>Haier is Professor Emeritus at the University of California", Irvine.[7] He has controversially allowed the Editorial Board of Intelligence to include Gerhard Meisenberg and Richard Lynn, both members associated with the racist pseudo-scholarly Mankind Quarterly, justifying his decision with the argument "I prefer to let the papers and the data speak for themselves."[8] However, both Meisenerg and Lynn have since been removed from the Editorial Board. In 1994, Haier was a signatory of Mainstream Science on IntelligenceWikipedia,[9] a statement which endorsed the hereditarianism worldview of The Bell Curve despite the SPLC noting that only 10/52 signatures were from psychologists who specialise in human intelligence," some not even qualified.[10]<br><br>In his book The Neuroscience of Intelligence", Haier promotes the claims that there is a real ability called "general intelligence", that compensatory education programs cannot meaningfully increase it,[11] and that it is strongly influenced by brain volume.[12] While superficially race-neutral, all of these are standard racialist claims to support the alleged genetic link between race and intelligence. The book also approvingly cites a large amount of "research" by grantees of the Pioneer Fund, including Arthur Jensen, Linda Gottfredson, and Thomas Bouchard.[13] Rather than explicitly advocating a racial hierarchy of intelligence with blacks at the bottom like Lynn or Emil Kirkegaard, Haier's book takes the more subtle approach of presenting various indirect arguments to support such a hierarchy," so that readers (his audience being "human-biodiversity" proponents) can infer the (implied) conclusion.<br><br>On Twitter", Haier has defended The Bell Curve[14] and regularly retweets material posted by Charles Murray,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] considered a white nationalist by the SPLC.[23] Despite not personally attending the London Conference on Intelligence, he has shared a pro-eugenics, pro-Pioneer Fund article defending the conference.[24] He has published controversial articles defending the book The Bell Curve in the right-wing online magazine Quillette.<br><br>Research this before you take the flawed opinions of pseudo-scientist such as Haier and his racist claims.,(reply>), @2b Sirius Congratulations on not addressing not a single issue but once again going to the emotional argument. <br><br>Your personal guilt for the injustices you witnessed are your own and are irrelevant to the greater discussion.<br><br>The world didn't start and end with slavery in America. You seem to be quite narcissistic to place the relative failures of blacks in the world on your own white shoulders.,(reply>), @Brad Johnson Please go back to your history. I am descended from a famous (or infamous) slave trader, Frances Drake. In the reactionary Deep South where I have my roots, it was a mark of honor to be descended from "Southern Aristocracy," such as Susan Drake, the niece of France Drake. However, it's has been a problem for me all my life. I watched proud black waiters humiliated by whites who were trying to enhance their own beleaguered self-esteem by destroying that of another. I heard my grandmother derisively speaking of a discharged Black maid coming back to go through trash to look for food scraps (to feed her children btw). I quickly realized it was a game whites played to enhance their own self-esteem . Good luck with finding other ways to feel better about yourself. You might try spending time on enhancing your empathy and kindness, <br>Good luck!,(reply>), @2b Sirius Slavery is and always has been primarily a black institution. Africans have been enslaving each other for thousands of years and we're engaged in slave trade with the Middle East for at least 1500 years before a white man ever showed up. White men were last to the slave trade and the first out.<br><br>All people have been enslaved at one point or more throughout history. It's absurd to keep using it as an excuse.<br><br>Again, Slavery is an African institution that whites barely participated in when compared to the amount of slavery Africa has seen throughout history.,(reply>), @Brad Johnson Easy, slavery and endemic racism. How do  you explain your reflexive racism?,(reply>), How do you explain the historical facts that virtually all modern life and complex societies are white. Why are all modern white countries in such demand by people who aren’t white? <br><br>Why are they fleeing their own violent, primitive societies for white societies? Where white people just lucky to have western civilization fall in our laps like a gift from the gods? <br><br>Nothing you copy and pasted refutes anything. It's just more of the same mudslinging because the evidence is irrefutable.
