James Watson: codiscovered the structure of DNA (but is a racist)


I'm not saying one's level of education is based on race but I wonder what the averages would be if you tested all of Europe and all of Africa. The number of learning institutions per capita in Europe probably vastly outnumbers those in Africa. The opportunity to increase ones knowledge is most likely far more available in Europe.

Of course if the guy WAS incinuating that ones intelect is based on race... well... he's an asshat... but that doesn't undo the GOOD he's done and no one can climb into his head to see exactly what he believes.

Take for instance the Nazi Germany.... German scientists were the first to really develop jet engines during WWII. Are we gonna discredit them & pretend they didn't do that? no. They were f-ed in the head & did horrible things based on f-ed up beliefs, but not all their contributions to science were evil.

....and, of course, anyone who reads what he actually says, puts it into context, and attempts, through rigorous analysis to explain his coments as other than racisist...will, himself, immediately be labeled a racist...

There are no facts that conquer lefty PC Dogma.
Do not look do not see do not analyze do not think.

The unracist fact I use is that it doesn't really matter where the center of the race bell curve is because the individual you are dealing with; could be anywhere on the bell curve. Smart , dumb whatever so racial norms are useless in real life.

MY 1st PC experience was way back in 1967 I had a 1 year old used version of a Psychology 1 text book. The professor said that book was NOT to be used and I had to go purchase a new one. OK so I get the new one and initially it appears to be identical. After some searching the ONLY difference was a paragraph that stated the IQ of (then Negros) was 8 to 10 points lower then those of whites. The study was made in Canada of the descendants of escaped slaves where it was believed there was not a social or educational deficit.

Louis Farican (sp?) said whites were the children of the ice and blacks the children of the sun. If whites did not plan and plot for the upcoming winter they would perish. Blacks were under much less mental challenges in Africa as food was plentiful in many areas. Oh by the way Louis is a black guy. His conclusion was that all whites coming from stress full environment were inherently meaner....agreed.

sorry, but I have to point out that quoting Faracan, is like quoting David Duke.
One of the most racist, ignorant people in America. Who has repeatedly called for the extermination of the white race, and had, or still has the largest "private army" within the borders of the US.

Who cares if the guy was racist. He still accomplished a lot. There are plenty of racists of all colors. Everybody lies. Everyone hates someone.
