Description:
Nobel Laureate Dr. James Watson says Blacks are inferior intellectually to Whites. ------ Note that I am not black/dark skinned, but some of the comments by Dr. Watson probably have no basis in science, and sound repulsive. ------ Other comments by Dr. Watson: "There is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically.. ..Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so." "Whenever you interview fat people, you feel bad, because you know you're not going to hire them." (during talk about obesity) "People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would be great." (in support of beauty being genetically engineered) "That's why you have Latin lovers" (said during his insinuation that darker skinned people have increased sex-drives (due to increased melanin)) "If you are really stupid, I would call that a disease" "The lower 10 per cent who really have difficulty, even in elementary school, what's the cause of it? A lot of people would like to say, 'Well, poverty, things like that.' It probably isn't. So I'd like to get rid of that, to help the lower 10 per cent." "Offending someone is always preferable to avoiding the truth." UPDATE: Watson's reaction to initial racism accusations: "I can certainly understand why people, reading those words, have reacted in the ways they have. To all those who have drawn the inference from my words that Africa, as a continent, is somehow genetically inferior, I can only apologize unreservedly. That is not what I meant. More importantly from my point of view, there is no scientific basis for such a belief." "Right now, at my institute in the US we are working on gene-caused failures in brain development that frequently lead to autism and schizophrenia. We may also find that differences in these respective brain development genes also lead to differences in our abilities to carry out different mental tasks." ----- http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/10/18/science.race/index.html http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1962/watson-bio.html http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5ha6Uxje06Fv054CU7LwK0-qiqNogD8SC14GO0 |

| TheSensuousAtheist ::: Favorites Actually, many consider the dioramas at the Museum of Natural History NY to be racist... 07-10-20 05:41:49 __________________________________________________ | |
| TheSensuousAtheist ::: Favorites Elderly Nobelist argues about blacks, genetics & intelligence... William Shockley all over again...? 07-10-20 05:39:41 __________________________________________________ | |
| HanSoloan ::: Favorites From what I understood, he was referring to the fact that throughout history, Africans have not made significant progress in science, tecnology etc, etc... I'm not sure if he was saying it as an observation or a fact? 07-10-20 00:06:01 __________________________________________________ | |
| karizma1987 ::: Favorites ppl generally make such statements after having a bad run-in with a person of that race...maybe his wife or daughter ran off with a black dude or something...i duno 07-10-19 23:58:06 __________________________________________________ | |
| Sooolol ::: Favorites If whites are smarter than blacks then how come back in the day before the european countries had come to Africa, Africans knew how to survive in the blistering heat? The mud huts African's producted were cooler than the airconditioners we have today in houses. If Caucasians are smarter then howcome there have been black inventors and that have made wonderful inventions that we rely on everyday, or did they just not think of it 1st? 07-10-19 23:09:34 __________________________________________________ | |
| AttritionofFaithful ::: Favorites Canceling his venue at the Museum was wrong 07-10-19 21:51:14 __________________________________________________ | |
| SpaceCarnivora ::: Favorites What is ethically wrong is the hounding, by what can only be described as an illiberal and intolerant 'thought police', of one of the most distinguished scientists of our time, out of the Science Museum, and maybe even out of the laboratory that [he] has devoted much of his life to building up a world-class reputation 07-10-19 21:42:18 __________________________________________________ | |
| SpaceCarnivora ::: Favorites actually cubanoafuego fuck YOU, you are a peon compared to a giant like dr watson, wtf do you know you cretin. 07-10-19 21:41:41 __________________________________________________ | |
| SpaceCarnivora ::: Favorites if Dr Watson is wrong he will be wrong scientifically, not ethically, and it is a scientific argument, not an ethical one, that will demonstrate his error. 07-10-19 21:40:29 __________________________________________________ | |
| fla0303 ::: Favorites you people really need to read the science. the IQ gap of sub-saharan africans is well-known and not controversial. it is a fact. its root causes are what is argued about. though IQ is largely agreed upon to be significantly influenced by genes (heredity). 07-10-19 20:47:57 __________________________________________________ | |
