From my journal blog/site today:

Dr. Thomas Sowell has published part three of his series on race and intelligence. A lot of folks are not going to be happy with his conclusions, but as he states in today's part three:

"...it is time for black "leaders" and white "friends" to stop trying to discredit the tests and get on with the job of improving the skills that the tests measure."

Many so-called black "leaders" insist that studies like Dr. Sowell's are counter-productive, simply because it validates positions taken in controversial works like "The Bell Curve."

I have to agree with Dr. Sowell: let's get over it and get on with it.

Parts one and two are still available for you to peruse.

If someone has offered me a chance to coast when I was 14, I would have taken it. That's essentially what many black kids are offered.
