The Gallery of Just Plain Assholes (Part 1)

conservative social scientist Charles Murray argued “the cognitive demands” of some occupations mean “a whole lot of more white people qualify [to do them] than Black people.”

“It means you have a whole lot of extremely able Black nurses,” he added. “You have some incompetent white nurses, but it does mean you have a difference in job performance, and that’s eventually going to be reflected in income as well. It’s going to be reflected in the nature of their careers, and the nature of how they end up and so forth.”

How about systemic and institutional racism are what implicitly and intentionally held Black people back in order to preserve their own historically privileged “white” station?

Bankrolled by a group that’s funded shitheel Nazis for ages. The Red Skull should be on the BOD.

Neo-Nazi group financed ‘Bell Curve’ research on race, Extra! article claims

The headline didn’t onebox, and isn’t correct. There’s nothing “neo” about them. They are American race-eugenicists, and original real Nazi friends, and have funded Nazis down the decades.

Hm. Wikipedia has improved their article, I think.

Charles Murray has been debunked for years. It’s pathetic that right wingers keep insisting on using that failed scholar as a crutch to mistreat and abuse folks cause of their skin color.

There isn’t exactly a lot of real science to support being racist. Murray has been debunked for years, is obviously dishonest and toxic, and is probably the best they have. :man_shrugging:

More like none, I’d say.

There is a ton of financial support, though. Murray gives a respectable face to the tried and true, divide and conquer strategy of fomenting general white disdain for black people.

Agreed. That was me using sardonic understatement, but I guess this is a topic where it’s better to be clear just in case.

It started as a Washington Post article on some people in the Trump orbit spreading conspiracy theories and just keeps going and going. It really was just destructive grifters all the way down.

What the fuck is so great about “individuality”?

I mean yeah, conformity brought about by totalitarian demands sucks, but rampant individualism is a key pillar in the systems that seem to be bringing humanity to the edge of a proverbial precipice.
