link hereI hate the way there are all these excuses for black problems in school, employment, crime etc. Nobody is allowed to consider the possibility that it has a genetic cause. It's not scientific to rule it out purely because we don't want it to be true. There are plenty of examples in history where something was true, but didn't sit well with established thinking (earth goes around sun etc). If black people are unable to perform in school and are more likely to murder somebody when they get upset due to a genetic factor than pretending it has to be some other cause isn't doing anybody any favors. It might even be holding back understanding and treatment of the problem's real cause.
We could look pretty silly in a few hundred years when it is well known that there was a genetic disposition in black people to commit crimes etc and people in our time spent decades trying to find some other cause because we found the truth unacceptable.
Don't get me wrong, there are black people out there who are smarter and nicer than me, but a few exceptions doesn't make up for the millions of blacks who aren't.
