What if they had never integrated?
There would never have been an electric light bulb.

There would never have been an automobile.

There would never have been an airplane.

1. Shouldn't your title be 'What if they had integrated?'
Pretty disgusting. Here in France, this guy would be in prison for violating hate speech legislation. Probably have his civil rights withdrawn for a decade or so.

6. Ooops! You are correct!
I guess my own feelings caused the Freudian slip.

His title was actually "What if they had integrated."

I figure integration helps the gene pool.

I can't belive this guy is running for anything, in the 21st century!

The website is garbage, just unbelievable garbage.

2. It's so sad to hear someone talk so dismally about themselves...
because there's no way a thinking person of normal intelligence could ever buy into that racist, post hoc ergo propter hoc BS...

So obviously, jimbo's got some of them dumb genes running around....

Ick.

Does this throwback have any chance?

3. That is disturbing
I wonder how many Republicans actually think that way, but just don't have the guts to admit it.

5. What were the sales for "The Bell Curve"?
Should be about the same number as those supporting this position.

I suspect most buyers of this book were looking to validate their underlying racist assumption of inherent genetic superiority to the "darker folks"

7. Funny thing about that book.
Did you know a large group of scientists signed a statement against the guy's conclusions? I did not realize that until recently.

Intelligence and intelligence testing are very tricky things. I think it is needed research, but we have to be careful about how we draw our conclusions. We don't really understand intelligence that well.

However, eugenics has been a discredited science for some time now.
