We're doing the traditional Juneteenth callouts, calling out family and friends for their racism and prejudice and declaring that they are canceled, as far as we're concerned.

BTW, it's logical to assert that Tucker and FOX would not allow such a racist as Charles Murray on their network were it not for their confidence in believing that the majority of their audience would nod in agreement with him...you can take from there, MAS...

to know that I’d need to hear the actual facts in context.
I most certainly do not believe that any race is genetically superior to any other. I do think that there are minor genetic differences that can confer minor advantages and disadvantages in each race, but the clear inference of the term “superior” here in your post is that it means a higher life form. Thus, I certainly do not believe that any race is “genetically superior” in this sense, just that there are minor differences in all races as would be expected with natural selection in the region from which the ancestors hail.
don't agree with Charles Murray that White people are not genetically endowed with more intelligence than Black people.
As you might expect, I'm in total agreement with you there...but I'd like to expand just a bit more...in 'bullet form' (i.e. less than 5K words ;-))...
>There is ample evidence of exceptional intellectual contribution from African Americans...Condoleezza Rice...Colin Powell...Barack Obama...Neil deGrasse Tyson...etc., etc...proving that it serves no good purpose to label an entire race as 'deficient', when they clearly are not.
>Our needs as a nation are great, and will always be...we need to maximize our "Human Capital", and that includes citizens of every race.
>A "Team" (e.g. the USA) is strongest if everyone is motivated to "pull together"...Racism defeats that goal and makes us weaker...it (Racism) needs to be defeated.

want...does he not assert that White people have 'mean' IQ level greater than Black people?...i.e. one race is superior in intelligence to another?...the very thing you said you don't believe?...or do you?
If you seriously care about this issue, look for my other post to MAS where I append a summary of the "Flynn Effect" which in effect negates much of what Murray contends...please read it before responding to me...oh, and here's one more resource for you...a review of Murray's 'seminal' book "the Bell Curve", which clearly addresses his assertion of White genetic superiority...
http://bostonreview.net/science-nature-race/ned-block-race-genes-and-iq
But I've also asked MAS, and I'll ask you...even if you could find a slight difference in IQ levels that thus far hasn't been established, why would you?...what benefit are you trying to achieve?...what negative outcomes might result?...all I can see is "Discord" and a weakening of the American fabric...something an enemy of this country might enjoy doing.

You do have actual evidence to invalidate his or to offer alternate explanations, right?
to know, is do you agree with his contention that Whites are genetically superior to Blacks?...simple question for a teacher.

which is exceedingly "squishy" as noted in the attached link on the "Flynn Effect" (not to be confused with the 'low IQ' Michael Flynn)...see especially the section on IQ Group Differences. There is no objective measure or consensus that IQ differences are rooted in genetics.
Back to the question at hand...do you support Charles Murray's contention that Blacks are genetically inferior to Whites?
Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect
You obviously have an opinion on this, but you're again being passive-aggressive. What leads you to think environment is at the root of these differences in intelligence?
discrete difference in racial genetic makeups?...what great benefit would it provide?...how would you use such a determination?...Remember that a slight difference in IQ score has very little, if anything, to do with Performance or Wisdom...case in point...Ted Kaczynski (the "Unabomber")...off the charts IQ (167), but hardly someone you'd like to run anything that mattered to you.
Charles Murray's 'quest' is a non-productive one and serves no good purpose.
Edit for spelling
it and get back to me then.
…….I have not yet studied Murray’s claims in detail, but it sounds like he is reporting the results of his studies and positing a hypothesis to account for those differences. He may be dead wrong, but nonetheless, this sounds like a case of the Left shooting the messenger of information that they do not want.
FWIW, my anecdotal experience tells me that both nurture and nature have bearing. Smart parents have smart kids. And kids from happy, intact nuclear families produce better students. But the thing is that I have seen examples of that in all three major races (though not at the same rate when it comes to the family stability).
I would be inclined to disagree with Murray on the nature aspect of his claims, but I see open dialogue for scientific discussion as valuable.
What is patently silly is the tabula rosa position that politically-motivated hacks take in asserting that IQ tests are invalid and that there are no genetic differences in mean intelligence by racial groups. If they were acknowledge this, it would force all sorts of uncomfortable conclusions related to social issues in our society.

If you want to play in the bigs, you have to do better. Much much better. No respect with cable access material like that as your source.
More importantly, do you support Charles Murray's contention that Blacks are genetically inferior?

Do you believe that Black people are genetically inferior to White people?
Dude, you are definitely not as clever as you think you are.
Rather than a passive-aggressive hack?
