I know exactly what kind of idiot:

At any point would you like to stop being a hysterical, snarky troll, and start engaging us like a dignified human being?

But is this true?:

Smith College professor Stanley Rothman and Harvard researcher Mark Snyderman surveyed a sample of mostly scientific experts in the field of educational psychology in the late 1980s and found that 53 percent believed IQ differences between whites and African Americans were at least partly genetic in origin, while only 17 percent attributed the IQ differences to environmental factors alone (the remainder either believed the data was currently insufficient to decide the issue or refused to answer the question).

Of course, if you want to dismiss the very concept of race, Litt (which you obviously do, evidenced by your frequent use of “scare quotes”), you couldn’t have picked a worse time:

(That would be from the science section, not the opinion one.)

But I guess the journals Science, and American Psychologist and the NYT are just racist and can be ignored as racist b/c they said something that was racist. Only people that are full of hatred (esp. towards blacks) would ever say that there might be some degree of genetic differences between human populations:

Also you ignored the more important part of my statement:

The evidence against him is voluminous and powerful.

In the end, it’s the facts, and nothing else, that
are important.

However, there is a good sentence to paraphase on this thread:

“‘Race realists’ conclusions, like Creationism, have been rejected by, what amounts to the entire scientific community.”

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

People who can’t tell you how or why HIV causes AIDS probably shouldn’t be delivering any authoritative proclamations about HIV or AIDS.

Just to be cynical:

I wonder how many of the 5000 signees of the Durban Declaration have never made a penny off the current HIV/AIDS paradigm.

Nobel Prize Winners, eh?

“If there is evidence that HIV causes AIDS, there should be scientific documents which either singly or collectively demonstrate that fact, at least with a high probability. There is no such document.”

Dr. Kary Mullis, Biochemist, 1993 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

The evidence against him is voluminous and powerful.

There is also a profit motive at play there. If an African doctor reports that he’s going to have 500 hundred cases of malaria this year absolutely nothing happens. But if he says I’m going to have 500 cases of AIDS he has a good chance of hitting the UN/US jackpot in grants and aid.

I’d also recommend you all check out the work of Dr. Peter Duesberg, an HIV/AIDS dissident.

As for Diana, why in the world does she think Razib (who says inane things like 85 is the norm for black people’s IQs) has a clue about sexual practices in Southern Africa or anything else?

Racism seems to attract very stupid people.

Hm. I wonder why. I never thought of this before, but I had always thought that the hardwired contract between men and women would serve as the “restraining order” on male recklessness. It’s not so. I wonder why. I can’t come up with anything. Razib?
