Experience would tell you that there are some very smart black people, and some very dumb white people.

Yes, to be sure. But that has nothing to do with the subject, which has to do with an effort to suppress scientific inquiry into factual differences. The basic reality is that almost no one--unless sitting next to their identical twin or triplet--ever sat next to their equal in any classroom.

The more we can learn about the differences in human types, the better off we all are. The one exception is those who exploit the blame game--those who have to premise their policy on the fantasy of human equality, so that they can blame those who succeed for those who fail. That fantasy is at the heart of all Socialist movements; it is the basis for Obama's calls for redistribution; it is essential to the push for World Government--for the abolition of the Nation, as we have long known it.

It is certainly not necessary to disparage any of the recognizable types of Mankind to recognize that in fact we are all different, and classifying people by genetic background helps understanding & respecting those differences.

We need to stop letting Leftist activists & compulsion driven neurotics misinterpret our motives & smear us into silence on essential matters--such as immigration questions.

John Derbyshire wrote a perfect reply in answer to your comment (http://www.johnderbyshire.com/April2012/page.html):

Reader comment: “Please tell this black woman who is a devoted mother, professional woman, cat lover, and gardener, and Ivy league graduate about her inherent nature and intelligence. Do tell!’
. . . . .
His response: “Ma’am: If you cannot distinguish between a statistical statement about a population (”On average, men are taller than women”) and a statement about some one particular member of that population (”Sally’s real tall”), then … how intelligent do you expect me to believe you are, actually?”

Not calling you unintelligent, just pointing out his reply addressing your point.
