Scientist:
Blacks Less
Intelligent Than Whites
The head of a
prominent science lab was suspended recently when he declared
that
tests indicate blacks are not on the same intelligence level as
whites...James Watson has been suspended "indefinitely, pending
further review" of the politically incorrect statements by the
board of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York.
Far be it from me to defend someone like this guy, but the
reason whites CAN see us the way they do is because of the way we
ACT. They don't know us personally, so they must judge us by what
precious little evidence we present them.
OK, how many huge
BLACK corporations can you name? How many blacks own large companies
of ANY kind? Why do we complain that the whites are always charging
us too much rent, interest, discriminating in hiring, etc? Is it
because not enough BLACKS are doing any hiring, or not enough who are
in charge?
Why, then, are we not in charge? what stops a million
blacks from pooling $500 each to set up banks, finance companies,
venture capital firms, brokerages, S&Ls, department store chains,
etc?
The Congressional Black Caucus website publishes a
statistical analysis of the black population
(http://www.cbcfinc.org/blackfacts.html), and lists dozens of
categories of where blacks work, live, migrate, emigrate, etc).
Read
it and you can learn how many blacks work as laborers, engineers,
lawyers, managers, etc, but you won't find a single word about BLACK
BUSINESS OWNERSHIP. Of course, one reason for that is that black
politicians don't WANT to emphasize those blacks who are not
dependent upon government for their success or survival, so this
should surprise no one.
When the NCAA initiated "No pass,
no play" a few years ago, Coaches John Thompson (Georgetown) and
John Chaney (Temple), among others, declared the program
DISCRIMINATES AGAINST BLACKS! No prominent white coach complained
publicly (except perhaps those who figured to lose their star black
players), and none threatened to quit, as did Thompson and Chaney.
Now, I agree that requiring a
college
boy to get a stinking C or don't play might discriminate against the
potentially lazy, the intellectually inadequate, and possibly the
just plain DUMB, but I still can't figure out how that only applies
to BLACKS.
When whites see no black faces on the financial
pages or at the heads of large corporations, when they see black kids
sounding and acting like they were raised by wolves (my apologies to
any wolf) and engaging in all sorts of self destructive behavior,
where are they supposed to get the notion that we can do anything but
sing, dance and play ball and maybe shoot up the place?
Come
on. I know all about the handful of blacks who are head and shoulders
above the rest of us; Condi Rice, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas,
Herman Cain, Herb Parsons, et al, but these are mere drops in a very
large bucket. And I also know that there is no evidence that any
white man could have done what George Washington Carver did with so
little help or money, so I'm not saying that I agree with the man or
that there are no blacks capable of intellectual excellence.
What
I AM saying is that whites are WIRED to excel, to build empires and
to be in charge, and blacks are not. Who did the wiring? It wasn't
God, but it was our UPBRINGING. Most of the white kids grow up being
taught and groomed to take over the world while blacks are told that
some Republican or other bigot stands in the way of their ultimate
success and that before a black can step forward, a white must step
back. So we grow up preparing ourselves to Find the best job we can
instead of trying to create one.
I still recall the Million
Man March, more than a decade ago, where a supposed million black men
spent an average of $500 to travel to D.C. and proclaim to the world
that "I am going to be a better father and citizen". Look
at how easy it was to create THAT attitude. That same one million
people could have invested that $500 together and created a company
worth a HALF BILLION DOLLARS in an afternoon.
You can say they
might have done it if someone had suggested it, but nobody had to
suggest it to "those other guys", who do it almost every
day, going and coming. Anyone can compile a list of white owned
companies where white investors do nothing all day but try to find
such companies in which to invest their money.
We spend so
much time making excuses (racism, slavery, etc) and feeling sorry for
ourselves its a wonder we even find time to get to work, at that job
some white guy created for us.
We can charge off to Jenna to
stand up for some thugs, but when three A students are murdered by an
illegal alien in a "sanctuary city", we turn the page or
reach for the remote.
I fully expect Professor Watson to be
vilified for what he said, and he should be, but much of the blame
for him and others like him developing such an attitude is squarely
on our shoulders.
I don't for one minute think that blacks are
inherently intellectually inferior to whites, but I do think that for
the majority of both races, our priorities are polar opposites.
And
you can say what you want about Bill Cosby, but no one spoke more
truth than he has. Like it or lump it.
